A HISTORIC SPOT.
Andersonvi11e, the Site of the Old Con-
federate Prison.

federate Prison.
Among the many places of interest
which surround Americas, Ca, there Is
none so historic in it's character or of
which so much has been spoken and writ
ten as Andersonville, the site Of the old
Confederate prison and the national Gene
terry, in which lie the remains of over
1900 Union soldiers. 1t lies eleven miles
northeast of Americas and can be reach
ed by rail or carriage. The drive IS
pleasant and picturesque one, the road
winding among the hills and valleys and
passing through forests Of pine. OF the
old prison pen, which was, in fact, moth
ing but stockade inclosing thirty acres
of land, through which runs SWeetWater
creek, little remains.
A few stra ggling halfrotted posts mark
the line of the stockade. A few low earth
works, upon which we're mounted small
field pieces, show where once were the
gates. Here and there are few of the
wells dug down into the hard red clay for
shelter and in the hope of escape. Provi-
dence spring, which burst forth just on
the edge of the dead line" and furnished
fresh water for thousands of thirsty
threats, still contributes it's never failing
stream to Sweetwater creek. The
grounds are now the property of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, having been
purchased by the department of Georgia
and turned over to the national encamp-
ment Carriage ways and walks have
been constructed through the grounds,
and it is intended to erect a club house.
Visitors occasionally pick UP some relic
of no n6c Win fhnra
in the shape of a button, a buckle or
rusty canteen.
The national cemetery, in which lie rep
resentatives from every State in the I'm
ion and from almost every regiment with
it's 1900 white headstones resembling
great army of the dead, lies about half
mile from the prison grounds and is sur
rounded by brick wall. The grounds
are neatly laid out, the walks are we'll
paved, the lawns are kept nicely trimmed,
while clumps of trees and shrubbery break
the monotony of an almost level plateau.
All but few hundred Of the graves are
laid out in long, straight lines, with ave.
nues between, just as they were dug by
the corps Of prisoners who buried side by
side their dead brethren. A wonderfully
correct record was kept by this corps, and
it has been transcribed and is kept in the
Office of the superintendent, who can in
few minutes point out the exact spot
of any one buried in the grounds. Near
the center Of the cemetery, apart from all
the others, unmarked and unhonored, lie
the remains Of four prisoners who were
convicted by their fellows Of robbery and
murder and were hung upon galloWs
erected within the stockade.

MEMORIAL DAY
ATTHE CORNERS.
" HREE men were sitting one April

T HREE men were sitting one April
morning on the wooden bench out
u side the small building which served
the little settlement of Westham Corners
as postoffice, store and general lounging
place and which was also, in the upper
story, the home of the storekeeper, Israel
Bacon, and his wife Hannah. They
glanced now and then at the school house
across the way and the graveyard beyond
it.
"Walw said the oldest of them, a man
with white Lair and white beard under
his chin, II don't see why we can't hev
some sort O. celebration on Decoration
Day 8 we'll IS other towns. To be sure,
Jim Pipers the only soldier we sent to
the war, but reck'n that amt no reason
why he shouldn't hev his dues. hold we
ought to hev some sort of time this
year."
II think so, too," said Jed Barker. II
sh'd think it would be a sight O. comfort
to Oh Mis- Piper. / sh'd think she'd feel
kind o hurt we amt never took no notice
Of her son-not even 10 put flag on his
grave"
II sh'd think she'd "a done it herself
II she'd wanted it," said the youngest
man Of the three. "She does put lilacs
ON the grave every year-but anyone ken
hev them, If they amt died for their coun-
try. l sh'd want flag on my gravel
know that"
LES see," said Barker, COP Jim died
bout two years after his son, didn't hep
'"They was the most broke up couple
ever see," observed the old man, when
the news come about Jim's death down
South; an the OF man started right off
for the body"
can they SPENT" said the young man,
"nigh onto all the money they had laid
by, gettin' of it home, didn't they?"
"Yes," said the other, "an' we never
heard much about it neither. Ye see,
Jim's regiment want near none of the
other boys that went from these parts,
an they didn't know nothin' bout it, nor
jest when he was killed. 1t al'ays seem
ed queer we didn't hear more particulars.
But We see them Pipers was aPays ter
rible quiet set. The coffin want never
opened, an there want no funeral to
speak of-op Parson Bolles come from
Ridgeway an jest made prayer. think
twas sort of onchristian like"
The three men got up and went into
the small store. They had long talk
with Israel Bacon and his wife. During
the week they called on the rest Of the
people at the Corners. It was decided to
have celebra ton as they proposed. But
1t was not to be till the afternoon Of Me-
mortal Day, for all wanted to go to West
ham in the morning to hear the speeches
and have lunch-then come back to the
Corners towards evening and decorate the
one grave.
Memorial Day dawned fair and warm.
The trees and the grass seemed" greener
than the day before; the birds sang blith-
Ter; spring was everywhere. The lilac
bushes waved their greenish purple
plumes, and here and there in a sheltered
nook the splendid purple sprays were in
full blossom.
Mrs. Piper did not go to bed the night
before. She sat by the window till every
house in the village was dark. Then she
got up and lighted her lamp. She took
it in her trembling hand and went slowly

the drawer, locked it, and put the key in
her pocket. She sighed as she left the
room. Her year was over-another year
had begun. For this was Mrs. Piper's
New Years Day-by this day she had
counted her time for twenty years.
She went downstairs, opened the door
and went out. She went to her white
lilac bush and gathered an armful of the
blossoms. The wet spray fell soft and
refreshing on her withered cheeks. She
took one spray from the purple bush, and
then went down the path, across the road,
up to the graveyard, and straight to lot
in which there were two graves.
The day proved hot one. About 6
o'clock Mrs. Bacon called on Mrs. Piper.
The two women sat talking for some time
by the window and looking out towards
the graveyard. The white lilacs had with
cred and turned down during the day.
Mrs Bacon, at the faint sound Of drum,
the signal agreed upon, asked Mrs. Fl
per to go with her over to Jim's grave.
Mrs. Piper. got up with weary sigh, and
put on her black bonnet. The two women
sauntered across the road and up into the
graveyard. Presently the drum was heard
again. this time accompanied by the whls-
tie of a fife. The woman in black trem-
bled and clutched her friends arm.
"What is.it, Hannah?" she exclaimed. Il
hear drum and fife. What is it!'
Mrs. Bacon seized her friends arm and
whispered: Its thesfolks a-comin' to dec
crate Jim's grave They are goin to hon
or him like the rest of the soldiers
Mrs. Piper gave one gasp for breath and
stood as white and still as stone. Twen-
ty carriages, or so, of all sorts and kinds,
drove up IN front of the school house;
the people dismounted and formed the pro-
cession. First came Jed Barker, carry
ing big flag; then came two old men, one
with drum, one with fife; and behind
them four other men, one carrying the
flag for the grave, and one the piece
from the city. They had all seen service
in the war. Behind them came old Dea-
con Brown, and beside him the new minis
ter from Westham, a young man with
fresh, bright face. Then came the people,
men. women and children. The drum ana
fife played .Marching Through Georgia

as they came up the path. AS they enter
cd the graveyard the music ceased. The
people formed a ring about the grave and
the two women standing by it. The dea-
con made prayer. The drum and fife
walled the dead march; the flag was plac-
ed at the head of the grave; the column,
with its surrounding eagle, at the foot.
The music ceased. The minister stepped
forward into the ring by the grave and
spoke. He spoke of the honor Of war, of
the splendor Of victory, of the nobleness
of giving ones life for ones country, of
the saddened homes, of the JOY Of the
mother in surrendering her son to her
country, and closed by repeating the lines:
"How sleep the dead who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes blest,
When spring
"Don't, don't, can't bear it!''
These words interrupted the minister's
low tones, and all eyes were turned from
him to Mrs. Piper, who stood, now alone,
by the grave, her worn face grastly white
in the fading yellow sunlight.
Don't go OIL can't bear it no more.
Oh, Lord! how can I! Ny son Jimmy
only son-he-he-I'ye been livin' a lie
these twenty years-an' maxim him out
what he want; he-he want killed in
battle-how can I?-how can 1?-he-he-
he was shot for desertin''."
The thin black figure fell upon it's knees
by the grave, the head bent forward over
the little futtering flag. The last rays Of
the setting sun came in under the. trees
upon the hushed group. In those mo-
ments they realized it all-the grief, the
pride, the shame, the bitter secret of their
neighbours life; and the hearts of the peo-
pie felt for her. A squirrel ran across the
neighboring wall, woodpecker tapped on
n tree; the tiny flag spread itself in the
breeze and tapped against the black bon
net bent over it. The first Truman sound
was the low voice of the minister repeat
ing half unconsciously, Il am the Resur-
rection and the Life saith the Lord
There was a stir among the people;
slowly, withAhushed breath, they filed out.
Someone hit against the drum, the harsh
noise making them all start. The sun

AS Seen by Dim.


r. G., Dun & Co.'S weekly review oil
trade says: "Growing accustomed to wal
possibilities, which are mostly far from
proba bilities of evil, and finding the ma
ton moving along steadily in its indus
tries, people are grasping the idea that ii
is throwing away some months of active
and profitable life to wait until war clouds
have passed. Western prosperity has sc
greatly overbaanced timidity of Eastern
capital that actual business done in
creases, railroad earnings promise better
for May than a month ago for April, and
payments through clearing houses for the
week in May show a gain of 3G per cent
over last year. The key to the situation
is prosperity of the West which altogeth-
er unprecedented marketing of breadstuffs
has caused with the prospect of good
crops to come. These prospects and &C
tual receipts of wheat amounting to
5,S76,716 bushels for the week, against
2,439, 100 bushels last year, with ad-
vances also in other grain and cattle, have
produced a demand for rails, cars car ma
terials, fencing, agricultural implements,
boots and shoes and all textile goods
which was not anticipated from Eastern
indications. Exports of wheat do not
diminish, but in three weeks from At
lantic ports-fiour included-have been
1856, $50 bushels, against 4 ,77S, 742 BUSH
els last year, and from Pacific ports
1,73S, 1913 bushels, against 610,637 BUSH
els last year. Failures for the week have
been $50 in the United States, against
24S last year, and 30 in Canada, against
81 last year."

rowful remembrance of the bravery and
virtues of those who fell in battle or who

Few warriors of ancient or modern
times achieved as great distinction and
won as high rank in the service as Gen

Of the Federas army who reached the high

it is true that he won the highest rank on

Sheridan are all classed with the volun-

connection with the army and re-entered
it as volunteers at the opening of the war.
But both were skilled soldiers and grad

And the wheat stands ripe and red;
Soon the gray dawn will be creeping where
silently lie sleeping
Our grim and scornful dead.
Fast the young recruits are thronging, from
country and from town,
To the music of my CALL
Midst moaning Of the dying where the lead
en- hail is flying
There is glory for you all.
Defiance sternly f1inging, my strident tones
are ringing
Ger distant vale and hill;
What though this morn awaking a million
hearts are breaking
My voice shall not be still.
You shall hear my shrieking chorus DER the
thunder Of the strife,
AS the troops go swinging by,
Though the shattered ranks be wavering, my
notes shall not be quavering
When the scattered squadrons fly.
I shall mock you with my calling, while
round you, wounded, falling,
Your comrades die like men,
Till the lust Of blood shall win you and the
demon spirit in you
Shall turn and fight again.

FIRE AT POWDER WORKS.
Unsuccessful Attempt of Spies to Cause
an Explosion.

An attempt was made on recent night
to blow up the Nitro Powder Company
works at Mingo Hollow, in the town of
Esopus, New York For several days
two suspicious looking men had been lurk-
ing around the works. The night was
dark and rainy. In the midst Of the storm
the sound of an explosion was heard, and
a long wooden rooted acid shed was found
in flames The fire was soon extinguished.
1t was found that incendiaries had satur-
ated piles of rags and paper with kero-
sene and set them on fire. The company
has on hand Government contract, and
no doubt is felt that the two suspicious
looking men were Spanish spies and the
authors Of the fire. They escaped.
