Death OF Bernard REYNOLDS

One of the saddest deaths that has
occurred here FOR sometime, was that
of Bernard Reynolds, the only son of
c. II. Reynolds, Esq, last Tuesday.
He was taken i'll Sunday with what
is termed spinal meningitis, and was
unconscious from the beginning of
his sickness to his death. Physicians
did all that was IN their power TO
resuscitate him but 10 no avail. The
funeral services were held at the
grave by his pastor, Rev. ID. A.
Glenn, who, in very impressive
and solemn way told of the many
good traits of character which he
possessed and the way he was loved
and respected by his nelghbors and
all who knew him. His remains were
inferred in the new cemetery.

The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1902-07-04

There are many traditions anoat
concerning the origin of this design,
but the one in which there is I'M
doubleday the most truth is that which
credits the idea of the design to Wash
ington. The General found in the
coat-of-arms of his own family
hint from which he drew design for
the flag. The coat-of-arms of the
Washington family was two red bars
on a white ground, and three gilt
stars above the top bar. The Ameri-
can flag, once decided upon, was
rushed through in hurry, for the
army was in need of a standard.
Betsy Ross enthusiastically under
took the work, and in few days a
beautiful star-spangled banner was
ready to be unfurled. She had made
one alteration in the design submitted
by Washington. The General had
made his stars six pointed, as they
were on his coat-of-arms. Betsy Ross
made her stars with five points-a,d
five points have been used ever since.
For several years Mrs. Ross made the
flags for the government.
The first using of the stars and
stripes in milltary service, it is
claimed. was at Fort Stanwix, re.
named Fort Schuyler, now Rome, Now
York, 1777. Aug. 2 of that year the
fort was besieged by the British and
Indians; the garrison was without a
flag, but one was made in the fort.
The red stripes were of a petticoat
furnished by woman, the white for
stripes and stars were furnished by an
officer, who gave his shirt for the pur-
pose, and the blue was piece of

Evolution Of Our Flag.

Although the United States is one
Of the youngest nations of the world,
its flag is one of the oldest among
the powers. The country's standard,
with it's thirteen stars and stripes,
which was first unfurled June IA, 1777,
just 125 years ago, has remained prac-
tically unchanged through the prog.
ress and growth of the country of
which it saw the birth. The star
spangled banner which now floats
over Uncle Sans possessions on
lands and seas, is unaltered, with the
exception C.. the number and arrange
ment of the stars, from the one which

quest, made at her home, No. 239

popular among the colonists, and its
origin as an American emblem is
a curious feature in our national his
tory. 1t has been stated that its u.ie
grew out of humorous suggestion
made by a writer in Franklin's paper
the Pennsylvania Gazette-that, in
return for the wrongs which England
was forcing upon the colonists, a
cargo of rattlesnakes should be
sent to the mother country and dis
tributed in st. James Park and other
places of pleasure" Col. Gadsdo0

as is to be used by the commander
in-chief of the American navy" be-
ing a yellow flag with a represen IA
ton of a rattlesnake coiled for at.
tack.
Another use for the rattlesnake was
upon a ground of thirteen horizontal
bars, alternately red and white, the
snake extending diagonally across the
stripes, and the lower white stripes
bearing the motto, Don't Tread on
Me-" The snake was always repre-
sented as having thirteen rattles. One
of the favorite flags also was of white
with a pine tree in the center. The
words at the top were: IAN Appeal
to God" and underneath the snake
were the words: Don't Tread on
Me-" Several of the companies of
minute men adopted a similar flag,
giving the name of their company,
with the motto, Liberty or Death"

part in the exciting times that fol-
lowed Lexington and Bunker Hill,

Three women worked on the flag, and
it was raised to victory on the 22d of
August, when the redmen and the
English were defeated at the fort.
The next record of the using of the
Stars and Stripes is on the first ami
versary of American independence,
which was celebrated at Philadelphia,
Charleston, S. c., and other places,
July 4, 1777. The banner was used
at the battle of the Brandywine Sept.
IL, IVY; at Germantown, Oct. of
the same year, and it also floated over
the surrender of Burgoyne. This flag
cheered the patriots at Valley Forge
the next winter; it waved at York
town and shared in the rejoicings at
the close of the war.
Some of the first flags were made
under difficulties and at great cost,
the greatest ingenuity being required
on occasions to secure the necessary
materials for the banners. History
tells us that Madame Wooster and
Mrs. Roger sherman made the first
national flag for the Connecticut
troops used in the army from their
own dresses.
AS long as the states remained thir.

the circle of stars was all right, but
when, in 1871, Vermont, and in 1882
Kentucky were taken into the Union,
it was decided to arrange the stars

II 1895 it was decided to add a
stripe as we'll as star for each state
which came into the Union, conse-
quently in that year Vermont and
Kentucky were marked on the flag,

The troops of Massachusetts adopted
the words, AN Appeal to Heaven"
Early New York records speak of diff
ferent standards; indeed, the re a.
ments from the different states, has

flaCJ of numerous devices, having only
local interest and being only used on
the occasion that originated them.
The first striped flag was flung to
the breeze in America at Cambridge,
Mass, Washington, headquarters, Jan.
2, 1776. 1t had thirteen stripes, alter
nate red and white, and the united
crosses of st. George and st. Andrew
on a blue field. When reported in
England it was alluded to as the
thirteen rebellious stripes"
In 1775 navy of seventeen vessels,
varying from ten to thirty-two guns,
was ordered. The senior of the five
first lieutenants of the new Continent
al navy was John Paul Jones. He left
it on record that the Flag of Ameri-
ca" was hoisted by his own hands on
his vessel, the Alfred, the first time
it was ever displayed by a manor
war. This was probably the same de-
sign as the Cambridge flag used in
January, 1776.
We now come to the time when the
crosses of st. George and st. Andrew
were taken from the Union flag and

tuted for the symbol of English au-
thority. One hundred and twenty-f re
years ago this June IA the American
congress, in session at Philadelphia,
resolved that the flag of the United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; the union to be thir-
teen stars, white, on a blue field,
representing a new constellation, the
stars to be arranged in circle"

one by white and the other by red
stripe; but some wise prophet, look
ing chead some twenty or more years,
saw that this plan of adding stripe
as well as star for each state added
to the Union would mean constant
changing of the flag, which would, in
a few years, become SO large and UNI
calmly that its beauty would be lost.
A committee in 1872 was elected by
congress to decide upon permanent
design for the flag, and the result
was that the thirteen original stripes
were again used, the stars arranged
on the blue field in the form of a
square, with one constellation for each
new state. In 1918 this plan was for
mally adopted by congress, and The
flag, with its thirteen stripes and stars
corresponding in number to the states
in the Union, became the established

A LARGE DELIVERY.
G. IS. /. TURNS OVER 200 CARS TO
ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
Company Unable TO Supply Enough Cars
to Haul Lumber From Planning Mills.

Lumber is now coming up from the
long leaf yellow pine belt in large
quantities and the officials of the Gulf
and Ship Island road are at their wits
end TO find enough cars to supply the
demands from the planning mills and
manufacturers. New cars are being
turned out from the shops at Gulfport
each week, and during the past five
months over two hundred have been
turned over to the transportation de
partment, and the company is still un-
able TO fill all acquisitions promptly.
Saturday night two hundred cars of
lumber were delivered by the Gulf
and Ship Island road to the Illinois
Central road at this point, and the
southern yards were baldy damned
for the greater portion of the night.
This is the largest delivery in one
day that has yet been made by the
company, but the daily delivery often
runs from 100 to 100 cars.
The planning mills along the road at
many places are running day and
night to keep up with their orders,
which pour in from all sections of the
country, and Mississippi yellow pine
is the most popular article of lumber
on the market. -ClariOn-Ledger.
