the splendid bravery of those carry
ing the flag of this state.
In the summer of 50 Gen. Polk
went into Central Kentucky with
Bragg, playing conspicuous part
in all the battles there fought, at
Perryville, being in command till
the arrival of Bragg. In October
he was made Lieut.. General.
At the battle of Murfreesboro of
the same year, in December, the
men under Gen. Polk at a critical
moment drove back the Federal
center commanded by Thomas,
thus holding the day for the South.
The next fall, during the Chick
amauga, Chattanooga, campaign,
Polk with his men did valiant ser
vice. 1t was at this time that the
trouble arose between Bragg and
Polk that resulted in Bragg's re-
moving him from his command. 1t
seems that Polk failed to make an
ordered attack, either because he
thought Bragg did not fully under
stand the enemy's position, or be-
cause he (Polk) had not found out
what position his troops were to
hold relative to Cheatham's Polk's
action was approved by a Court OF
Inquiry, and he was afterward
given, by President Davis, the more
important commission of command
ing the Mississippi and Alablma
troops as we'll as those of Ten
nessee. After defending Mobile
from an advance of Sherman's
troops and executing other brilliant
moves, Polk took his troops to re-
inforce Johnston's in Georgia.
On the evening after reaching
the camps General Polk baptized
General Hood in the tent of General
Johnston. General Hood, who was
severely wounded, so that he could
not kneel, arose, and leaning upon
his crutches, received the sign of
the cross. A few days later, Gen
eral Johnston also requested the
ordinance and was baptized by the
bishop-general in the presence of
his corps commanders. 1t was in
this retreat to Atlanta that General
Polk met his death. Only a few
days before, he had remarked to a
friend, 81 feel like a man whose
house in on fire and who has left
his business to put it out. AS soon
as the war is over, shall return to
my proper calling
At the first he had entered the
army only to aid in the immediate
need. When that was reduced, he
asked tor a release and this being
refused, he later resigned. The

his back, with his feet to the foe:'
Upon his dead uody were found
four religious tracts, three address
ed by himself to General Johnston,
Hood and Hardee, all marked with
his life-blood in a last sad message
sad for the Confederacy, but
triumphant for him, for he died
with his hands and heart pure and
stainless, and his mind fixed upon
high duty.

had determination, the patience
the endurance that characterized
the Southern soldier, both officers
and privates. He endeared himself
to his soldiers by his never failing
care for them in their times OF
trouble, and his constant interest
in the welfare of their souls.
His letters to his family during
the war show more than anything
else the mans true character. In
them are brought out all the ten
derness of his being, all the earnest
ness of his life.
His son describes his death in
these simply beautiful words: "The
morning of Tuesday, June, IA, 1864,
dawned clear and the rainy season
seemed to be over. General John
ston arrived soon after a. m.
General Polk mounted and rode
with him to the headquarters of
General Hardee, who was to Join
them in the examination OF Pine
Mountain. On reaching the crest
of the hill the spectators had full
view of the surrounding country,
over which sunshine and shadow
moved, keeping pace with the slow
ly drifting clouds. Both lines of
battle were plainly visible. Bodies
of men were seen busy with ak and
spade. Guns were being placed in
position. Groups of meu could be
distinguished moving behind the
lines. The adjacent fields were
white with the covers of thou
sand wagons. In the distance to
the front lay the hills of Etowah,
to the right, the peaks OF the Kene-
saw. The constant firing of the
heavy lines of skirmishers was re-
inforced here and there by the guns
of some battery, whose position
was marked by the white smoke,
which IN the still air settled about
it. All combined to make the scene
one of unusual beauty and grandeur
In the enthusiasm of the moment,
some OF the officers stood on the
parapet and exposed themselves to
the gaze of hostile eyes. The men
of the battery vainly warned them
of the danger. General Potk walk
ed to the crest of the hill, and en-
tirely exposed, turned, as if to take
a farewell look. Folding his arms
upon his breast, he stood gazing
intensly upon the scene below.
While he stood thus, a cannon ball
crashed through his breast, and
opening wide door, let free that

The Union City Schools.

Union City is justly proud of her
city schools. Every department is
well equipped and certainly up-to-
date.
Superintendent Darrah has lost
neither time, trouble nor work to
make the high school department
the best and leading one in the
state, yet he is conscious of the fact
that careful and correct teachingN Ns
much more important IN the pri-
mary department than in any other.
If parents wish their children to
become students they must see to
it that the first three years work
is of the best order. Faulty pri-
mary work is often fatal to final
scholarship. In little children the
affections develop much more rap
idly than the intellect, hence it is
necessary to interest them in order
to gain their affections.
IT the parents in our little city
would visit this hall they would be
pleased with the work. Every les
son is full of interest and enthu-
siasm from the morning opening
exercise to the little evening prayer
at the close of the days work.
The course of study is extensive,
for all subjects are commenced IN
the primary department. Here
reading, spelling, Arithmetic sci
ence, history and literature are
taught by correlation.
The study of Hiawatha is no
myth to the children of the third
grade, who have followed him
breathlessly into the forest as he
seeks and slays the red deer. They
have taken the story home and have
even dramatized part of it.
This years work will he three
stories by our best authors. The
children will illustrate these stories
with pencil, brush and free hand
cutting.
A class in manual training will
commence soon, where each child
will be taught to make useful
things for others and to develop
his own activities and individuality.
Let the people support this de-
partment, visit it frequently and
moke it their own. The children
