YOUTHFUL PATRIOTISM
IL Is Well for the Boys and Girls TO
share In Holiday Exercises.

Thanks to the inherent patriotism
born with nearly every child that lives
and breathes, most of our boys and
girls do know and understand what il
means this strewing with flowers the
grass grown graves marked with the
upright flag on Memorial day. Should
the stranger within our gates inquire
at random what means the solemn pa
rade the young people would be few
and far between who would fail OF an
swering the question intelligently.
Such days are educators and produce
far deeper impression than is gen
orally realized at the time.
1t is said that the old time town
meeting was what made the stanchest,
most fiery patriots in the days of our
nations earlier history. Perched on
window stills, leaning on the backs of
chairs, crowded in between tall men,
huddled on the platform steps-auy
where, everywhere where only footing
could be secured-were found the ca
ger, interested lads, who found no great
err treat or diversion than to creep into
the church or hall where town meet
ing'was to be held. The excitement
leaping from eyes and tongues of the
speakers was reflected IN the eyes and
faces at least of the attentive boy who
lost no part OF the heated discussion,
and long years before they coul d vote
each member, every patriot knew be
yond the shadow of doubt which side
he was on.
The boys so rapidly grow into men,
the urchins sometimes in the way at
the political caucus so soon are throw
ing vote or welding power and au
thority in municipal affairs, it stands
the nation IN good stead to see TO it
that the national holidays are observed
in way 10 stir up all that is truest
and noblest in the hearts of the boys

of the battles of Stone River and Mis-
sion Ridge advanced first to the as
sault at the battle Of Pickett's Mills.
For nearly an hour it battled with a
valor and fortitude worthy of its re-

move his hand from the staff he was
shot dead, and the colors fell with
him, their folds partially covering his
body. Another soldier Of the same
regiment then advanced, and as he
stopped to lift the colors he too WAS
instantly killed.
