Ed. Register - One pleasant day
while | was at LesterEille | wandered
up on one of the bills that faced the
south and overlooked the town and
surrounding country, and where /
could see all three rivers just before
they unite in one. AS | sat and let my
thoughts go roaming back to the early
days, it all came back to me so fresh.

great times the old hunters had catch

seeing the old remains of beaver dams,
and of seeing the stumps of the trees
where the beavers had cut the trees
down that is foot through. Their
teeth are like chissels made for cut
ting.
Although my acquaintance with
beavers is but small. the old trappers
would tell me of all their habits and
manners. and how to trap them. But

and at play at their slides. They put
me in mind of lot of boys when they

family of otters fishing or playing in

JUDGE EDWARDS ADDRESS.
At the Decoration Yesterday of the
Graves of the Heroic Dead.

Quite party of old soldiers of both
armies, ladies and patriotic citizens
went out to Concordia cemetarv at 3 %
m. yesterday, to decorate the graves
there of the heroic dead and TO listen
to IA excellent and eloquent speech
from Judge L. f. Edw ards. After the
graves had been suitably decorated
with flags and strewn with flowers, the
address of the day was made by the
judge as follows:
Comrades Of the blue and the grew
Ladies and gentlemen:
All around US
where heaves the turf in mapv a
Wondering heap
Each IN his narrow cell forever laid
Heroes of the country lie'
A generation has pa sed since the
war between the states, time, the great
purifier has cleared our vision of the
clouds and the dust of passion, pre-
JUDGE and heat of conflict, and we now
feel aud know that the deeds of these
heroes who died because they dared to
DO and die for wat they believed to be
the true and the gh5 are blessed
heritage to posterity. We further feel
and know that that conflict DEVELOPED
to us the fact that we were a GREAT
na,lOn, Tor that war carried on in a
natlCn scarcely eighty years of age,
was the greatest domestic war known
in history.
1t Is meet and right that the whole
country should stop and devote one day
IN each year to re -Ounting and re fleet
ing upon and remembering the deeds
of these men, and the result of their
deeds. Lay aside business cares, hopas
and am bltion for one day and devote
that day to keeping fresh the memory
OF the noble men who wore both the

Tour different flags of the nation that
fell. Inc first was adopted by the PRO
VlslOnal Confederate Congress at Mont
gomery, Ala, at the time when only
seven states had sccseded. This FLAG
was knoAn S the stars AID bars. t.
consisted OF two red stripes above and
below, with white stripe in tie cen
ter, the bars being of equal size: and
the blue union jack with seven stars in
circle. a battle flag was desi gned
by General Beauregard after the first
battle OF Manassas because the stars
and bars reSem bled too closely the
stars and stri pes. This was red flag
with blue bars crossing it and each
other diagonally, with thirteen stars
in the bars. Ia May, 1863, the Confed-
crate Congress adopted as the national
flag white flag with the battle hag
above described as the union jack in
the left hand upper corner. But as this
last flag too ofLen.looked like flag of
truce, in March, 1865, the Confederate
Congress added red bar perpendicular
across the outer end of the white part
of the flag.
For four years, more than half mil
lioa of men loved and cherished, fought
and died for these flags and today these
flags represent nothing on earth. Those
who felt like yself when the war be-
gan, loved the stars and stripes and be-

DECORATION DAY ADDRESS.
CONTINUED from third page.

true as the heart and hand of the other
intermarriages, intercommerce, and a
readiness to forgive is showing to the
world that the heart of Dixie beats
with the heart of the nortbland. LET
us have peace said the dying Grant.
The south answered peace, peace.
All over the southland women of the
confederacy decorate with beauty every
year the graves of the boys in blue.
We are brothers of one blood under
one flag and of one destiny. Let US
love every fold of our dear old flag, let
it float over every school house in our
land.
Soldiers of the Grand Army of the
Republic and Confederate Veterans, we
are glad you are here tonight. We
are proud to sea the grey and the blue
face to face. Remember the boys in
blue and the boys in grey are no longe-
boys. You are gray haired men TO-
night. Your ranks are thinning:
graves are multiplying. The Grand
Army of the Republic are seriously
considering whether it had not better
abandon the parades at the national
encampment. They say the men are
getting old and feeble, and are too
much fatigued by the long marches.
There is something pathetic in this.
And soldiers of the Confed eracy this is
equally true with your brave living
heroes. The brave chieftains of north
ern and southern armies have long
since gone to the eternal camping
grounds, they have formed the grand
army of the dead. Soldiers as long as
soldiers still. You have to fight
against sin, against self, against
wrong everywhere. Are you fighting
under the great commander Jesus
Christ? Many a man has physical
courage enough to scale the rampant,
to cross the ditch while cannon below
and bullets whiz; yet he has not moral
courage enough to conquer self. Be
soldiers still. You have escaped the
bullets of the battle field, but there is
one enemy you have not met yet. One
day he will drive his silent chariot up
to your door, and with soft still steps
enter your bedroom. You may pull
down the old musket, flash the sword
again, but you cannot conquer him.
Are you getting ready to meet death?
Grant, Sherman, Hancock, Lee aud
Jackson with their hand in the wound
ed palm of Jesus Christ, went hence
trusting in him. These men did not
depend on their war records to enter
the gates of pearl. In the simple faith
of little children, 'slmply to thy cross
1 cling" they died. Will you so trust?
Will you? Will you?
The strictest attention was paid
throughout this eloquent address by
the audience that packed the house.
The auditorium was tastefully dccorat-
ed with national, state and confederate
flags, the confederate flag being the
one that Captain Barlow carried dur
ing the war. The singing was excel
lent, and the entire service was very
impressive.
