Pete rsville on Nov. 21st. has been post
poned un til Saturday, Jan. 9th, 1897.
Some of the ladies of the town have
taken up the hospital question. The first
meeting was held Tuesday, when commit
tees on constitution and board of directors
were appointed and the following perma-
nent officers elected: President, Mrs. W.
ID. Brandon; recording secretary, Mrs. C.
Il. Herr; corresponding secretary, Mrs. J.
II. Troutman. Another meeting will be
held Saturday and the permanent organi-
cation completed.
A correspondent wants to know if
there is any law against the destruction of
United States coin by the owners thereof.
We believe there is not. After q man
comes into possession of money OF any
kind it is his to do with as he pleases, so
long as he does not try to defraud the gov
ernment, or his neighbor. Destroying
either silver or paper money defrauds no
one but himself, and gold is worth as
much in any other as in it's cola form.
The local editor of one of our exchang-
es attempted to wrto verse on bloomers,
the other day, and made dismal failure
of it. He wrote:
"Pnt away the little bloomers
That our darling used TO wear;
She'll not need them Tore this winter"
Then he thought of air fair hair there
and several other words that rhyme with
"wear" but none of them would do, and he
finished with ''The airs too cold"

Whoe'er for freedom fights and falls, his
fame no blight shall know,
As long as through heavens free expause
the breezes freely blow;
IS long as in the forest wild the green
leaves hutter free,
As long as rivers, mountain born, flow
freely 10 tie sea;
As long as free the eagles wing exalting
clesves the skies;
As long as from freeman's heart free
mans breath doth rise.
Whoe'er for freedom fights and falls, his
fame no blight shall know,
As long as spirits of the free through earth
and air shall go
Through earth and air spirit band of
heroes moves always;
'Tis near us at the dead of night and in the
noontide's blaze,
In the storm that levels towering pines
and in the breeze that waves
With low and gentle breath the grass up
on our fathers graves
There's a cradle IN the bounds of Hellas
broad and fair,
But the spirit of our free-born sires Is sure
II towering there.
1t breatbes in dreams OF fairy-land upon
the infants brain,
And il his first sleep dedicates the child TO
manhood's pain;
It's summons lures the youth to stand,
with new born joy possessed
Where once freeman fell, and there 1t
fires his thrilling bresst
And shudder runs through all his frame;
he knows not If it be
i throb of rapture, or the first sharp pang
of agony.
Come swell our banners to the breeze,
thou sacred spirit band,
Give wings to every warriors foot and
nerve to every hand.
We &c to strike for freedom, to break the
oppressor's rod,
We 20 to batLle snG to death for our coun-
try aud our God.
Yc are with us; we hear your wings, we
hear in magic tone
Your spirit voice the paean swell and
mingle with our own.
Ye are with US; ye thTong around,-you
from ThermopYlae,
You from the verdaht Marathon, you from
the azure sea,
BE- the cloud-capped rocks of Mykale at
Salami5-all you
From field and forest, mount and gle1,
the land of Hellss through,
Whoeer for freedom fights and falls, his
fame n blight shall know
As long as though heavens free expanse
the breezes freely blow;
As long as in the forest wild the green
leaves hutter free;
As long as rivers, mountain born, roll
freely to the sea;
As long as free the eagles wing ezulting
cleaves the skies;
As long as from a freeman's heart a free
mans breath doth rise.
