wherever they may be
Now don't be crying, mother,
You should be proud of Ben,
He looked, Of all, the proudest
Among a thousand men.
1t set me straight to thinking
How l too marched away,
To join the noble army
Dressed in Confederate grey.
| somehow felt like lighting
When first our Ben marched out
Right dress, front face, a standin'
so tall and straight and stout.
But l cannot like the color
OF the clothes he wore that day,
'Twould suit me whole lots better
If they looked a little grey.
But he don't know the difreuce,
l spose ha likes the blue,
Though as for me can't forget
fought it four years through.
And though l am plum willin'
For Ben to have his way,
l just could fight lots better
Ifmy clothes were sort o grey.
The flags all right, l like it.
1t must not ever fall,
l sure would like 10 plant it
on MORO Castles wall,
And l know that I could do it,
In the good old fashion way,
If I had a few old comrades.
Dressed in Confederate grey.
They say it's hot in Cuba.
And when the boys get there
They'll shuck those hot, blue hxins,
And anvas suits will wear.
like that plan amazin',
For when they march a day,
The dust and dirt will change 'em
To the good old fighting grey,
This is a great big country,
And when it INT to blows,
Well keep the world from treading
On Uncle Samuels toes.
But If l should take a rife,
I've just got this to say;
could handle her whole lots better,
If my clothes were sort o grey.
1t breaks my heart, old woman,
To hear you snobbing So,
Iilived through your years fighting,
Ben's coming back l know,
But when he goes to lying,
(As he's almost sure to do)
About the pa1iant hghttng
OF our voluhteers in blue,
Why then, why then confound him,
III have a word to say,
And beat him with one bigger,
About the boys in grey.

a Happy Event.

On Wednesday evening, December
2lst, the home of Mr.. James w. Hill
ker, in Greenwood, was the scene of a
most happy event when Mr.. Edward
Armstrong was united IN marriage to
Miss Cynthia IIaviland, sister of
Mrs. Hilliker. The bride carried a
beautiful boquet of roses, and Mary
Hilliker, as maid of honor, held bas-
ket of carnations and ferns which con-
tanned the ring. Rev. Mr.. Crandall, of
Fargo, succeeded in making the matri-
monial knot secure. The relatives
who were present were Mrs. w. Turn
bull and son, of Cass City, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Hayiland and family, of
Richmond. Other friends present
were Mr.. and Miss Bond, Mr. and Miss
Marshall, from Cass City, also Mr.. and
Mrs. Kilgour, of Fargo, besides a num-
Der of friends and neighbors. All en-
joyed the happy occasion and many
beautiful and appropriate gifts were
left. The wedding supper received
due attention and II pleasant time was
enjoyed afterward. MIR. and Mrs.
Armstrong will visit London, Delhi,
Simcoe, Waterford and other Canadian
points, and returning will make their
home near Green's Corners.

Christmas Festivities.

The young folks in connection with
the Brick Chapel Sunday school had a
royal time on Christmas Eve. The
teachers and others interested prepared
supper, and had table spread with
good things, not only for the children
but all present were made partakers OF
the bounteous repast. The usual
Christmas tree was pleasing feature
of the occasion, and this time the tree
was beautifully adorned with many
variegated colors, which in the light OF
the lamps reflections produced very
pleasing effect. The gifts which hung
on the tree, however, were what took
the young peoples attention. Sants
Claus had been very lavish in his gifts
the tree being literally laden from the
topmost branch to the floor, and none
were neglected. Most of the old folks
present also received reminders that
some loving heart had an eye to theiI
happiness. Santa Claus himself made
quite sensation by appearing on the
stage accompanied by his wife, who
was introduced to the audience amidst
the uproar of the young folks. The
literary part of the entertainment was
necessarily abbreviated. a Christmas
song by the girls, a recitation by Car
Brown, and few remarks by the mas
ter of ceremonies closed up Christmas
eve of 1898.
