two pounds-apothecaries weight.

BOYS Of '6|.' y
HAPPY REUNION OF co. K.
6THS.C VOLUNTEERS.
A Very Pleasant Occasion tor Tho,e
Who Acknowledging Ar
ranged for Next Year.

A reunion of friends is always con-
ducive to good fellowship and kind
ly feeling. Especially is this true
in the case of veterans who have
faced common enemy and fought,
bled and starved together for four
long years. When the chasm of the
years is bridged and these friends
and comrades of a common cause
meet and grasp one another's hand
it is pleasant to behold the flush of
pleasure and the kindling of the eye
as for an instant their minds revert
to the strenuous times when they
stood shoulder to shoulder beneath
the folds of the "bonnie blue flag"
and marched forth to battle to the
stirring strains of Dixie"
Such commingling of knightly
souls took place here last Thursday
in the reunion of Co. X, 9th S. G.
V. This was a crack company of
a gallant regiment, whose deeds of
valor are worthy of perpetuation in
song and story.
There were only nine of the gal
liant company to answer the roll
call. Of the remainder some are
gone to distant lands and many
more have answered the final sum-
mons of the great Captain of Hosts,
yet those present were as happy as a
lot of school boys on a holiday.
Their meeting was held in Sheriff
Graham's office-himself gallant
comrade-and most of the time was
passed in anecdotes and "reminiscences
Then, two, there was the passing
tribute of sigh" for those COM
rades whose silent tents are spread
on the hills of eternity.
A recess was taken when the din
ner hour arrived and the "boys of
Gl" were entertained at the Central
Hotel, when they discussed the ex-
cellent repast with as much zest as
they did their exploits upon the bat
tle-feld. After dinner the meeting
was resumed and several hours more
were spent in friendly intercourse.
Following are the proceedings as
gathered from the Secretary's minu-
tes: :. 60. -.
| The meeting was organized by
electing Lieut.. R. S. Smith chair
| man, and W. E. Mcknight secre-
tarv. On motion, invitation Of DR..
D. C. Scott for the company to dine
with him at the next reunion was
accepted with thanks. A resolution
adopted that the survivors of Co. K,
meet on Thursday after 3rd Monday
in October, 1908. 1t was moved
and ordered that the survivors petl-
ton the State pension board to grant
a pension to Veteran james F.
| Chandler of Dock.
A resolution was adopted thank
ing Sheriff Graham for the use OF
his office.

Chicago. May list, 1902

tNnlchPo. NlhN ISL, i'u-I
Last Friday night n violent and
widespread wind storm sent us over
two hundred claims under our
Tornado Policies. The claims
come from Indiana, Illinois. Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Ken
lucky and Tennessee. They run
all the way from the small damage
say Of five dollars, well up into the
hundreds OF dollars for buildings
totally destroyed. All these
claims will have prompt attention
and settlement.
This storm should be an argu-
mcnt "scttlcr," not only about
certain localities being exempt
from such visitations, but about
the value OF tornado insurance.
Yours very truly,

is religion of peace, and tell them (the White Rib

patriotism" Love Of country has always ranked
next to love of God and home. So the National w

Native Land" We teach the children patriotism
cardinal virtue, and as aid teach them flag
salute. Our aim is to give them high ideal of

had good government, so much of freedom in
it. The W. c. T. u labors to free it more and more
from the evils that weaken government by weaken

The MEN OF 7e AND THOSE oF 1902

The men Of 1875 were ready to fight and, If need
be, to die in their resistance to tyranny. Too many
Of the Of 1902 prefer to accept tyranny rather
than strike for the defense of home and children,
and this, chiefly, because these dare not take the
risk Of personal unpopularity. The braVado Of the
liquor tyrrany is hurled at them, they surrender,
without firing shot, and are laughed at by the
Yictors The modern record is sadly unlike that Of
the men of rs. There is hardly city of any consid-
erabe size in land that is not subservient to the
liquor power, that elect legislative or execu-
tive officers except by the consent of the whisky des
pot simply because most Of the Of 1902 are not
like the men Of 1776. No Fourth Of July orator is
worth listening to that does not stimulate loyalty
