FLAG WITH History.
Hugh H. Tarbet Flies Battle-Torn
Banner From Fis House.

An old flag waved before house on
East Third South street last Saturday.
As the wind caught its light folds and
spread to view the red and white
stripes, ragged holes were revealed and
and stains of time and battle. The
thirteen stars in the field of blue did
not glisten as the stars of night. There
We're many newer handsomer brighter
flags suspended before neighboring
houses, but the owner of this old, worn
banner would not have exchanged its
discolered folds for ali the brighter
bunting in the world.
To him it is more than a mere flag.
1t is a symbol of Renaissance of four
glorious years of service, it speaks to
him of days of turmoil and nights of
sleepless vigil, of comrades gone be-
yond recall, or scenes of strife and car
mage and then the last roll call when
news of peace came flashing from the
peaceful village of AppomattoX Court
house
Hugh H. Tarbet is the owner of the
priceless banner, and it has been in his
possession since the close of the civil
war. The flag was made in 1852 by
sailor on board the L. S. steamer "Oc-
toraria," connected with the West In
dia squadron. The following year it
went from Key West to New York at
the masthead of the prize steamer 'Ea-
gle. Then it flew from the U. S.
steamer Honduras" of the West Gulf
squadron, and year later waved en-
couragement to the soldiers of Banks
Red river expedition from the steamer
Westport of the Mississippi squadron.
The expedition ended ingloriously, but
the flag was transferred to the Forest
Rose of the Mississippi squadron,
where itFremained until peace was de-
clared. 1t was then presented by
Captain AIN. Gould of the Forest
Rose to Mr.. Tarbet, the present owner,
who had served on the Chillicothe, the
Bentor and the Naumkeag of the
Mississippi squadron. Mr.. Tarbet's
most intimate friend, Lieutenant
Charles Webster, was killed by mimic
bah which tore1a jagged hole in one
of the stripes of+the old flag.
Flag day was generally observed
throughout the city, the national colors
being suspended from all the public
buildings and a large number of bust
ness houses and residences. No special
celebration of the event was attempted,
but the G. A r. men were much graft
fed over the readiness with which the
idea was carried out by the people.
