An editorial in the Iberian two
weeks ago under the caption,
''The Sunday Law was copied
in the indicator News of Frank
lin, and commented on by It's
editor.
He calls our reasoning on the
subject miScOnception, but
further on admits the Iberian Ia
be correct and then adds a few
ideas in regard to the intent of
the law.
The NindicatOr. News comments
continue by saying: I'VE are glad
to see the people Of New Iberia
enforcing the law; that place was
noted far and wide for the open
ness of its disregard for that law
for long time, and we remember
that under Congressman Brous-
sard's tenure as District Attorney
when the otfense of violating the
salute was triable by jury, that
he failed so repeatedly to obtain a
conviction that he ceased further
prosecutions by reason of the
fact, it was said, of the rldicule
down TO which the whole law was
being brought i'll the community,
and the needless expense to the
government that the trials entail
ed

THE RURAL SCHOOL.
1t Should Touch Every Interest In
The Community.

Mr.. BransoD, of Georgia, has re-
Gently told in the Worlds Work the
story of the model rural schools
which the Federation of Women's
Clubs Is helping to establish IN that
state. Iu speaking of one, he said,
"The common school subjects will
be taught, OF course, But cooking,
the cultivation of school gardens,
a half dozen forms oil remunerative
handlcrafts, school library, a
mothers club, and a fortnlgh;ly
institute for the teachers of the
country will be some of the features
of thls seooi." Yea, verify; why
not? Why not include 10 the work
of the school go much Of the work
of the community as the children
can appreciate and employ IN their
own education? A school is a place
in which children should live and
move and have their being. II
should reflect the larger life without
and prepare its pupils for a better
| life III the future by helping then
TO live trner, more normal life II
the present. That which Is treatet
with respect IN school, whether it b.
arithmetic or grammar, cotton pick
ing or hog raising, religion or poll
ties, will rarely be an object of con
tempt after school. Time and eS
perlence will eliminate what is use
less or harmless III the curriculum
and methods of such experiment.

shooting at the battle of Athens. He
remained on the Croton side of the
river and had the old buffalo rifle.

back. A lot of officers We're assem-
bled at the home of Mrs. jackson,
where they had breakfast Sherrick
told a bystander that he meant to stir
them up a little just for luck. He
blazed away and sent a bullet right
through the cottage. The bullet hole
is there to this day. He next saw
man leaning up against a porch post
leisurely surveying the country. He
sent second bullet whizzing across
the river and Johnny Reb moved out
of there mighty quick. Thus the skir-
mishing kept up most of that memora-
BILE day.
But returning to the Jenning home
breakfast was waiting on the table
for the Rebels when they should have
licked the Union army. The cannon
ball passed over the table and scat
tered the inhabitants. The Union
men hadn't time to stop to partake Of
refreshments just at that time, and
the Rebels didn't either. They We're
not hungry anyway. AS soon as the
battle was over the Union soldiers
came back and partook Of the feast
that was spread for their enemies.
They found a lot of provisions that
the Rebel women had stored away
for their friends when they should
have won the battle, but they have not
tasted those svictuals to this day.
Mr.. Jenning died a bitter Rebel
He never relented. He was so firm
in his belief that he never allowed the
hole to be repaired which had been
made by the cannon ball, but reserved
it as a memento of the lost cause and
relished it as the martyr enjoys his
stripes.
Both commanders afterwards went
to the war in earnest. Col Martin
Green went with the Rebels and Col.
David Moore with the North. Both
saw fightin; and plenty of it. Col.
Green was killed at Vicksburg and
Col. Moore lost leg at Shiloh, after
having horse shot under him and be-
ing wounded the second time. Or
DERBY French brought Col. Moore back
up the river to Keokuk, where he had
his leg amputated and he lay in the
hospital about four months, when he
went back and joined his regiment

There came near being several en-
counters between the opposing fac
tons in IOWA during the war Of the
rebellion in different parts Of the
State, yet it remains a fact that the
only battle really fought on Iowa soil
was fought in Missouri, which sounds
laradOXical, yet is as rue as gospel.
Those were troublous times, as only
the older generation of men and wo-
men can remember. The younger set
can get some idea Of the tenseness of
the public feeling and of the mental
anguish OF fathers and mothers by
comparison with the late war with
Spain. But with it this difference
The war Of the States lasted four
long bloody years, and the war with
Spain did not last as many months.
And While the excitement and party
feeling ran mountain high in Boston
for the Union and in Charleston
against it, yet it was in the border
States where the real trouble brewed.
In the interior States in the North
sentiment was so nearly universally
alike that you could not have got up
much of a quarrel about the merits of
the war In the South it was Just
exactly the opposite, and there was no
augmentation between neighbors and
families and friends
But in the border States it was
something terrific. 1t is only by con
versation with the Oldest men and

women that one gets anything like
an adequate idea of those strenuous
times.
History never gives the local color
nor the trivial. gossipy Incidents OF
such times. which makes up the real
history of the people and the locali-
ties and the times. The things that
are of most vital interest to the COM
mon, everyday man are not of suffi-
Gent historical Importance to attract
the attention of the profound histo-
rian.
So the battle Of Athens was not
counted of sufficient Importance to
hold the attention of the war histo-
rian. yet it was Of enough interest to
claim the interest Of the inhabitants
Of those Iowa and Missouri towns to the
present day. And every man, woman
and child knows all about it,
Any boy whom you have mind to
ask will tell you all about it. for it
has been handed down from generation
to generation like the stories of tradi-
ton are handed down, and you can
not go amiss by asking any resident
about the battle Of Athens Not if he has
lived there any length of time. And
we apprehend that most Of them have
lived there for several years. The
population seems never to change.
Most of the people who lived there
during the war live there to-day. They
do not show any sign Of going away

either They seem to like it there.
But the town is not the same, hav-
ing fallen into decay and ruin. The
town of Athens is On the west bank OF
the Des Moines River. 1t lies on
rather a high bluff and enjoys the
scenery remarkably well.
On the Iowa side of the river is Gro
ton, a town of from fifty to one hum
dred inha bitants. And to show the
Importance of the town Croton has a
railroad but no telegraph Office, and
Athens has neither.
Croton is on the Des Moines branch
Of the Rock Island Railroad running
from Keokuk to Des Moines.

Clarke County, where the town of

st. Louis. His son was Captain of
Rebels at Athens. Col. Moore's 10y
atty was considerably doubted up to
that time, especially as his family
was divided. Two sons went into the
Rebel army and served through the
war. Before the battle of Athens
some one said: .Oh, Col. Moore won't
fight" Whereupon the son said: ..You
don't know dad; he'll fight like hell
when you get him started" And he
verified what the son had said. This
