Confederate Reunion, New Orleans,
1903
Most glorious sight to see!
Did you see those girls a-weeping,
While the Southern boys were creeping
On Canal street
Beauty's retreat
Where the Southern host was march
ing,
And the Southern sun was parching,
On the boys of 1860,
Surrounded by the girls of Dixie
Who charged the boys in gray,
In their own Southern way?
When the girls presented ARMS
They captured the Johnnies with
charms,
And many a Miss
Impressed a kiss
On Johnny's face that memory will
not erase.
Some may forget other scenes,
But none the kiss of New Orleans!
There was "Co. E.,
OF Tennessee,
So full of free grub and ice water
They could not stay to face a South
ern daughter.

W. @. T. U. and Mothers Meeting

w. G. T. u and Mothers Meeting.
At the last meeting of our w. c.
T. u. it was deemed advisable that
we change the day of our meeting
from Tuesday to Friday. A motion
unanimously carried, that we meet
every second and fourth Friday in
the mouth. The societies of the
different churches are, with one ex-
ception, held every Monday after
noon, hence this change. We hope
and pray that none of us will grow
weary in well-doing, but continue
cheerfully the discharging of all
duties devolving upon us. Dear
mothers, we are not to infer, be-
cause the saloons are out of Union
City, there is nothing more for us
to do. We should keep our lamps
trimmed and burning, ready for
every emergency. The enemy is
ever on the alert ready to counter
act all the good we may do, hence
we cannot afford to allow our inter
est to lessen. Let every mother
who reads this, deter mine she will
try and make little more sacrifice
and attend the meetings more reg
ularly. Don't forget the time and
place-every second and fourth Fri
day in the month at o'clock in the
basement of the Methodist Church.

some length on the cause of the
war, and favored the repeal of the
fifteenth amendment He quoted
the New York Sun, a rabid
Republican paper, as favorlng the
same, and pointed to this as a
wonderful conclusion for such
eminent authority to arrive at.
The welcome address was respond
agl to by Rev. Mr.. Lowry, who laid
emphasis on the fact that he was
not only an American but South
erner. DR.. Faris, of Hickman,
was called for and made a short
hat exceedingly touching and sen,

right arm spoke more eloquently
If his part in the battles than
words could have. AS he express
ed it, they winged" him early in
The conflict, and he could not know
as much active service as some
others. Col. E. E. Tansil, OF
Dresden, was on the programme,
but said he had made but little
preparation for speech, and reao
the greater part of his address,
The colonel, who served five years
as a gallant soldier, was loudly
applauded after his talk.
Little Misses Rachel McMurry

and presented a cross of honor to

when our Clerk and Master, Mr..

ceive his "cross," his pretty little

j. Flynn was Booked for Speech in Meuchen Last Might and
Started with Party Of Democrats on Trolley Car Ran off the
Track at Keasbey and Delayed the Orator Until the Meeting
was Over
PLENTY OF HARD LUCK.
When the Trolley Crew Could not GET
the Car on Track Again, Repair Car
was Summoned, but Left Handles for
lacks BehInd-When all was Ready the
Hour was Late.

Last night party of eighteen or
twenty Democrats from this city, left
their respe ective homes and just miss
ing one car for Metuchen took the one
which leaves here at 7.40. The object
was O democratic mass meeting at
Metuchen and there was plenty of en-
thusiasm, for those who got there.
In the local party were James White,
Richard White, Eugene Donohue,
Owen Holms. G. G. Ryan and j. j.
Flynn. "Pop' was billed for speech
at the meeting. He is making live
ly canvass for coroner.
Preceding the party another group
of Perth Amboy Democrats had gone
to Metuchen. Among them was the
genial r. M. Cannon, candidate for
assembly. They took an early car and
arrived in good time for the opening
of tho meeting. Cannon was called
upon and was received amid great
applause. Barney blushed, smiled and
bowed and then proceeded to tell
what an extravagant administration
the Republicans had given the State
and of the blunders they had COM
mltted.
The hall was filled and as Cannon
drew to close people began to ask
for the other candidate. j. j.
Flynn had been booked. His reputa-
tion as speechmaker had gone abroad
and they wanted to hear him. All
wondered why the second party from
Perth Amboy did not appear. Other
candidates had spoken and it was up
to Flynn.
The strain was intense. O'Clock,
$50, and 10, then footsteps were
heard. There was a murmur OF ex-
pectation and the crowd held their
breath as the door opened and dis
closed d-Metuchen s police force, one
man.
At TO- 80 twenty weary advocates OF
democracy filed into the hall and were
welcomed by their friends, who re-
ceived them joyfully. "Pop" had to
forego his speech as the hour was
late. He and his companions had a
sorrowful tale. The car they were in
reached Keasbey, it went off the track
and the combined "pull" of twenty
Democrats could not place it again in
its proper place.
After a while work Car came, but
the handles to the jacks had been left
behind and another delay was the re-
suit. Finally the party reached Me-
tuohen. Tonight large party goes
to Woodbridge.

BOUND BOY ACCUSED

TELLS OF TREATMENT

Detective Huff, last night, brought
Alfred Scott, a bound bov, to the
police station. William Messenger, of
Smith street, has the boy and it was
upon his complaint that he was arrest
ed. He said the boy was willful, dis
obedient, dishonest and of late had
run away several times. On Satur-
day, he said, he ordered him to dump
some water and the boy refused and
shortly after ran away to o neighbor.
Messenger says these neighbors made
statements that were not altogether

nothing criminal, this could not be

street musicians from playing after 8
O o'clock sharp. He says many men
who rise early wish to retire early
and these "agony boxes" which grind
away until 10 and II o'clock are a
nuisance.
This is claimed by some to be a
direct blow at the musical culture of
the city and direct blow at "Hia-

Two Days Little Damage
Done.
HAS HEAVY BUILD

The French bark Bayard, Captain
William Luchvein, arrived in port
yesterday, after hard voyage from
Cape Town, South Africa. She is
now at Carteret unloading ballast.
The Bayard left Cape Town with
fair weather ahead and for the first
few days everything went along nice
ly, then, without the least warning, a
storm of the worst kind closed III
upon her. The bark weathered it
all right, but when she arrived al
Sandy Hook, another storm came along
and the balk went ashore on the
beach.
For two days the craft swas on the
sand, BUT no serious damage was done.
The carpenter and his assistants
strengthened the beams and the bark
proceeded to this place.
The local sailors, who had chance
to get aboard her, say that she is the
strongest built craft ever in these
waters and that she is we'll able to
stand off any storm.
After unloading the ballast at Car
teret, the bark will proceed to New
York, where repairs will be made,
then she will ship load of merchan-
disc for South African ports. 1t is
seldom that vessel from South Africa
comes in here.

With that he led the way up the
mountain side till he came to a tangle
Of wild grape vines which fell over
the rocks and trees like a huge wall.
These he parted deftly and conducted
US to a spacious glen shut out from
the prying world. Tied to a stake with
a long rope was fat turkey. "See de

broad African grin. "Cotched dis chick

tied that he would roast the bird in a
rude oven built in the hillside, then
serve it in the cabin. Meanwhile we
wornout tramps would sleep ourselves
into fitting appetite for the jubilee
feast. which was to be turkey and corn
