1t was the gallant young officer, Worth
Bagley of N. c., who gave up the first
life for the Union, and it was the brave
young Hobson of Alabama, who led
the little band of heroes into the very
Jaws of death, that victory might come
to the Unions cause. To-
day there is truly no North, no
South, no East, no West, but in fact a
union of States. and when the people
of Southern Pines, N. c., the Yankee
city of the south. through it's official
head, the mayor and business organizs-
ton, the board of trade, proclaim to
the world that southern investments
are not only safe, but more profitable
than in the north or elsewhere and in
vites their northern brethern to come
south and meet Southern
business men and learn the
real truth as to the Southern people by
meeting them face to face: they are
simply doing the south justice that
should have been done years ago. by
the men of the north; but nothing that
is good is too late; good news is well
come at any time and though this JUS
tice to the south is late, yet we are no
less grateful and indebted to the
northern residents of Southern Pines.
