An editor on country news
papes is always getting his foot
in it-somedmes both feet. Some
times he's to blame and some
times it's the devils fault. Not
the Evil One who beguiIed Eve,
but the imp who makes head
quarters in a print shop. A
Louisiana editor is hiding out in
the swamps this week and all be-
cause the devil, in making up
the forms, got the reports of a
church concert and a cattle show
mixed in the following manner:
The concert by sixteen Of Storm

TESTED with him about the dream
which he said had revealed to
him these results of the battle.
Finding him very serious over
the matter, they urged that he
should not go into the fight at
all.
But the young colonel scorned
the idea. "No, it is my duty to
lead my men, and will do it!''
The fight came on. The young
Colonel was killed. Major Nc

Forman's horse was wounded,

A RED LETTER DAY-BUT
NO PIE HANDED OUT.

Saturday morning, April 3D.
dawned dark and threatening,
and by the time the clocks told
the hour Of eight, the storm
clouds were gathering in the
west, flashes OF tightening at in
tervals shot across the heavens
and the rumbling Of the distant
thunder warned the inhabitants
of the approaching storm. The
song Of the milkmaid echoing
from the hillside, the carol Of the
hooking bird seated on the top
most bough, were soon hushed
in the gathering silence. CiUi-
zens and housewives were seen
peering from doors and windows,
with the expression of anxiety
upon their brow. By the hour OF
nine the raging elements had
combined, and gave vent in a
drenching storm of rain. The
town wds soon deluged, and the
storm King poured forth his
wrath till near the hour of ten,
when streaks OF gray light in the
west told the inhabitants that the
danger had passed.
But as threatening as the ell
ements appeared and as danger
GUS as they actually were, was
only a slight reminder to the
people Of this section, Of the pent
up storm raging in the republican
ranks. BY eleven o'clock the
streets and sidewalks were COM
fortably filed with people, and
here and there groups Of repub-
licans could be seen in earnest
consultation. AS the hours wore
on, and the hour Of two was
reached, the crowds were trans
ferred from the sidewalks and
stores to the courthouse. Within
the walls was a busy scene,
Every countenancc told Of eX-
trome interest in the approaching
proceedings. The democrats
were met by many Of tho repub-
Leans with a smile and u hearty
shake Of the hand, and made
them fell that they were welcome
at their deliberations,
Alta few minutes past two The
chairman Of the central COM
mittee, John II. Wilks, let the
gavoi fall and soon u deep ST.
lence reigned, whore q few mo-
ments before all was active spoc-
ulation, The chairman announ-
ced that the object of Tho nool.

the chair refused 10 let him pro-
ceed, and passed q lis. to 1Ir. T..
A. Hawkins. whom he stated was
his secretary. Objections were
raised to this proceeding, bu, the
chair swept them aside and
stated ina. ne was running the
meeting. Good honest repubi-
cans TUNED pale and biz their
lips at this exhibition OF zone
mans rule" and IL was clearly
seen by all that the storm clouds
were gathering thick and fast.
The chair ordered HIS secretary
to proceed amid lusty objections,
and when the end was reached
and it was seen that seven Of the
regular cOmmitteemen's names
had been left off and others SUD-
sdtuted by the chair without the
advice and consent of the COM
miCtee, the scene become inten-
aely interesting. But the chair
with an iron hand held the NUT
tering elements in check, and it
began to look like he would have
his way, and that the Shell men
would be entirely knocked out.
His authority for ignoring the
regular members and appointing
Others was demanded, and the
reply was that ne had authority
from headquarters to do so.
This statement checked the op-
position to the proceeding to
some extent, and it appeared that
there was nothing to do but to
proceed voting for a postmaster.
At this .juncture the chair an
nounced that AL who were not
good Mckinley republicans
would have to getout!' Repub-
licans objected to this proceed
stating that it was not a secret
meeting and that all who wished
to be present should have the
privilege. The room was soon
with the exception Of a
few Of the most daring demo-
Gratis. After q short time many
others returned and in a few
large crowd had gath
cred again, 50 anxious were they
to see the end.

FOR THE SAKE OF THE
FLAG.

Among all the brave boys who
went out to the war none excel
led in gallantry the young Ken
tuckians. They served in large
Numbers on both sides. A civa
war is always saddest in a border
state because Of the divisions and
dissensions in families. Many a
Kentucky mother saw her boys
go off to the struggle, one in the
gray, one in the blue; one to
fight under the "stars and bars"
one under the "stars and
stripes"
At Louisville, among other
troops raised to join the Union
Army, was the 18th Kentucky
Infantry. It's Second Lieutenant
was James B. Forman. He was
a tall slender boy, only nine
teen.
The regiment went very soon
into active service. In a short
time, owing to the death and
promotion of superior officers,
Jimmy Forman, as he was
called by his friends, was made
Captain of his Company. Most
of the men were older than their
young leader, but his high sense
of duty, and his determination,
gave him almost unbounded in
fluence over them all.
On the evening Of October 7,
1862, Buel's army (Federal)
came up with Bragg's forces
Confederate at Perryville, Ken
lucky. Next day was fought a
battle in which the 18th Ken
lucky Infantry took part. The
struggle was fierce and bitter.
The Confederates advanced near
ly a mile, capturing guns prison
ers and colors. In the thickest
of the fight the Color Guard Of
the Is Kentucky was pressing
forward. The flag floated brave
ly in the warm autumn breeze,
but as the bullets flew, one after
another of its young defenders
fell beneath its folds. Dead anC
wounded the guard sank, unit
the last received a fatal shot.
When he fell, the staff, splint-
cred into a hundred pieces, fel
with him, cut off just where the
lower edge of the flag rippled ou
upon the wind.
The colors went down too
drenched in blood, but the boy.
captain, Jimmy Forman, saw it
He sprang forward, caught the
flag from the guard, and mount
cd the rail fence behind which
his men were aligned, He haC
the flag but its staff had beer
torn away. He substituted his
brave, young arms, and held i
