what a number of responses l have had

of the most striking facts in regard to it
Is that 1t was only put out because large
numbers of people. who have lived about
here for many years, began to drop in
with inquiries as to whether we could
clean and refurnish old flags and ban

Great numbers of old h~ouseholders
seem to have awakened to the fact that
not only had they the symbols of patriot
ism in their possession, but that this
was the time to bring them out again.
There are significant dates attached to
scores of the flags I have lately handled.

THE most curious order I have ever

a scion of which fought at Majuba hill.
With the order came a Union Jack,
round which is a deep black border.
