1.-THE ChiId's WISH"

Richmond va, SepteiiiueA ~ AS
Editor OF The Times-Dispatch:
Sir,-I have for years past read Win
nroflt and pleasure "reminiscences OF oc-
currenres during the war between .i.e
States. written by the SURVIVORS OF those
who took part therein i have not the
nroud pleasure of laying claim to the
fact that l was an active participant
vet I distinctly recolect when my father'
who at the time seemed to be grief-strlcK-
en-, came to our country nome ana I'M
parted to my mother the information that
Virginia had seeded. The word seeded
nj that time was Dutch to me, put
In very brief time Its meaning iui'S
dawned upon me.
The flower of our youth quickly re-
sponded to the call to arms, ana the
glory achieved by them will ever be per-
petuated in the true history of that great
conflict. And In very short time the
pines near my home, which for years ana
years had hummed a requiem to the de-
parted red man, afforded camping
ground for thousands OF our so!diery, VINO
soon were to expose their bosoms to the
bullets Of an incoming foe. Twas then
I met soldier whose hair was White
by the frost Of many winters lie was
not only q true soldier, but a born mu-
sician, and his pane was G. A A. RIGGS
Cf now alive), OF Marshall. Texas.
Some years ago he wrote me a letter
and enclosed copy of a song he used
to sing for the ediacation and benefit of
then happy family. III looking over
my papers few days ago came across
II, and SO impressed was with Its beauty
herewith proffer 1t to you, and If our
views coincide you are at liberty to pub
lish it In your Confederate Column
Pardon me for my prolonged explanation,
and at the same time believe me,
.or EDWARD s. ROSE.
THE CHLLD'S WISH
Oh, long to lie. dear mother.
On the cool and fragrant grass,
With the calm. blue sky above my head
And the shadowy clouds that pass.
And I want the bright, bright sunshine
All around above my head:
III close my eyes and God will think
Your little boy is dead. .aib
Then Christ will send an angel
To take mo up to Him;
He will bear me slow and steadily
Far through the ether dim;
He will gently. gently lay me
Close by the Saviours side,
And when I'm sure that I'm in heaven
My eyes I'll open wide.
Then I'll look among the angels
| That stand around the throne,
| Till find my sister, Mary,
For know she must be one.
| And when I find her. mother,
| We will go away alone.
I'll tell her how we've mourned for her
All the time that she's been gone.
o, shall be delighted
To hear her speak again:
Though I know she'll not return to US,
| To ask her would be vain.
| 20 I'll put my arms around her
| And look into her eyes,
I'll remember all I say to her,
And all her sweet replies.
| And then I'll ask tho angel,
| To take me back to you.
| He'll bear me slow and steadily.
Down through the ether blue;
And you'll only think, dear mother.
That I've been out to play.
And gone to sleep beneath the tree,
This sultry, summer day.

Letter to Mr.. j. Rurdock,

Dear Sir: The annoyance caused
by short measure in paints, that are
sold by the "gallcn," is worse than
the loss by the shortage. Misled by
the makers representations as to how
far a gallon will go, you buy too little
Of every sort, and must send for more
in the midst of the work.
Besides. a short-measure man is,
doubtless, also O. cheater in other
ways: his paint is likely to cover per-
haps two-thirds as much as he says.
This also you find out while the work
is going on, and the painting must
wait while you send for more.
Even this is not all, nor the worst.
If it wears half as long as he says,
you are lucky. You have the whole
Job to do again in a year or two; and
perhapsyour paint is not really good
for that short time.
One law of lying is that liars lie
most where it's hardest to catch 'em.
Another is that a liar lies wherever
he can.
Look out forshort measure. 1t in
cludes all the rest. pevoe Ready
Paint is full.measure and durable.
Yours truly,
f. w. Devoe & Co.
p. S.-Devoe Paint can be found at
the Green & Bentley Drug Co.

The home Of Dan Richardson, on

The Riggs Lumber Company have
purchased the Star Mill from It. NJ.
Epperson and will transform it into

The mill building is one of the old
landmarks Of Eddyville, having been
built in 1867. The late Robert Cooper
and others were interested in the en-
terprise. 1t cost many thousands of
dollars, but was never a financial sue

was lost by different parties trying to-
run it successfully. a...

have, for while it has it's faults and
criminals it is not a wicked town but
is even noted for its high standard or
morals.
But we started to tell about the
street fair. Well, if you were ever at
a street fair you know just about what
was there. The same merry-go-round
doing its usual rushing business.
The same Ferris wheel, same Gypsy
fortune teller, same peanuts, candy,
orange cider, lemonade, and the same
familiar pull at your coat tail by
young America asking papa for a
nickle or Papa, buy some candy"
The same yellers with the fog-horn

pays to advertise, and the same peo-
pie falling over each other to spend
