Expression OF Gratitude.

Editors Daily Light Gentlemen:
Through the medium of your val
liable paper, and unsolicited by any
one, and as one of the old soldiers
of Camp Winnie Davis, United Con
federate Veterans, l desire to eX-
tend the sincere and heartfelt graf
itude to the officers and members of
Sims Watson Charter, Daughters
Of the Confederacy, for the nice and
beautiful tribute paid by them to
the memory of our Confederate dead
who sleep in the Waxahachie Gem
etery in the decoration of their
graves yesterday. Surely no sweet
-er tribue could have been paid them.
Also our hearty appreciation of the
able and timely address of the Rev.
Mr.. Ivy. We, as soldiers, are glad to
know that our Confederate daugh-
tiers remembered the Federal dead
with floral tributes. But the Daugh-
ters Of the Confederacy, God bless
them, do so many noble and sweet
acts for our Confederate dead and
living soldiers that we constantly
and tenderly regard them as our
true and grateful friends.

The First Wedding Ring.

The wedding ring, according to Henry
Swinburne of the seventeenth century,
was first designed by Prometheus and
fashioned out of adamant and iron by
Tubal Cain. He says that it was
given by Adam to his son to this end
that Herewith he should espouse a
wife" Men were, as all women know,
deceiverS ever, and some of these un-
scrupulOus creatures were wont TO wed
with rings made of rusheS, imagining
them to be less binding than a strong
and valuable RIM. The bishop of Sails
bury, however. stepped in and forbade
this practice in 1911.
Silver Was more frequently used than
gold for wedding rings, and they We
made in all kinds of shapes, some
twisted, like two Joined hands, or a
pair Of hearts stuck together with an
arrow. Often they were adorned with
precious stones and had ''posies'-that
is, scraps of verse-inside, such as:
Fortune doth send you, hap it we'll or i'll,

is sometimes little slow about under

asked Big Sister the direction to the
home of new acquaintance. Big Sis
ter tried her best to make the way
plain to no avail. and finally becoming
eXasperated, exclaimed:

Charley Moon Home

Charles Moon, the popular rep
resentative of the Mopgolian race In
Sistersville, and the proprietor Of
the Diamond street laundry, re-
turned to the city Saturday eve
ming after an absence of some two
years In his native country. 1t was
Charley's first trip home since
leaving there years ago. So glad
was he to get back and see the old
familiar haunts again that shortly
after he reached there, he obeyed
the wise injunction that 1t Is not
we'll for a man to be alone, and took
unto himself young almond eyed
damsel for a wife. 1t Is needless
to say that the remainder of Char
ley's visit was very pleasant. In
the course of time, new Moon
appeared, and Charley immediate
/ y grew several inches, although
he was always one of the tallest of
his race.
Charley returned alone leaving
the mother and child In China,
which, he said, was proper In we'll
regulated and highly respectable
Chinese society. Upon his arrival
In San Francisco, he was detained
some thirty days, before the author
tiles were sufficiently convinced of
his right to again tread American
soil. Finally, however, he made
good" and reached here Saturday.
Charley says he likes China, but the
people are no good and he proposes
to remain In this country, with
occasional visits to see the wife and
baby.

The Mercer Sold.

Yesterday afternoon the deal
was consumated In this city by
which a valuable piece of property
In SistersvilIe will change hands at
once. Some years ago the Rey-
mann Brewing company through
Paul o. Reymann purchased what
was at that time the Whittlesey
Hotel now the Mercer, located on
the corner of Diamond and Wells
streets. The property at that time
was owned by the estate OF Charles
Olston, a former we'll known real
estate and oil man of that city.
Since the property has been In
the hands of Mr.. Reymann 1t has
been considerably improved add Its
value greatly enchanced by many
improvements which have been
made In that city. Sistersville
has been growing steadily and the
property value OF the hotel property
advanced. During the past couple
of years there have been a number
of rumors to the effect that Key
mann would build a handsome hotel
on the property. and 1t Is Under
stood that plans with that end In
view were drawn up, but the hotel
was never built.
The negotiations which were
completed yesterday were between
Mr.. Reymann and A. Bruce Hunt.
a prominent attorney and young
business man of Sistersville. Mr..
Hunt had been after the property
for some time, and only yesterday
was able to complete the deal. He
was In the city yesterday and when
seen by the Telegraph representa-
tive stated that he had bought the
property for himself, but that he
had not decided yet whether he
would put up new building on 1t
or not.
The property Is situated on the
most valuable corner In the city of
Sistersville, and the price paid for
it $4,000, Is considered low one.
