PEACE UNFURLS OLD FLAG.
ing Of b War with an En-
ign Made in 1891.

Mrs. Emma r Barnes, of Vineland,
N. j., highly prizes an "Old Glory" with
q history which she owns. When Fort
Sumter was fired On in 1861, Allegheny
City, Pa, was all ahame with patriot
ism and Mrs. Barnes sought a store
and purchased material for a flag.
She and her husband worked all the
following night cutting out the neces-
sary 80 stars and getting the red, white
and blue sewed together in the shape
of i flag. Early the next morhing the
Barnes flag waved from the top of a
high building on an eminence in the
city so that all the people could be-
hold it.
The flag waved all during the war.
Several times when rebel prisoners
went through the city the flag headed
the crowd that gathered at the depot
to see the enemy. Once when Mosby
was though. to be coming up through
West Virginia breastworks were
hastily thrown up outside OF Allegheny
and the Barnes flag was planted on top
Of them.
