selves make no effort to furnish
him with the facts and data of the
PERSONS life. Such people should
know when an editor has announc.
ed the fact of persons death, and
where, when and how it occurred,
his duty as news gatherer ends.

Going to State Farm.

A movement is on foot to have a
large number Of the legislators visit
the new penitentiary plantation IN
Sunfower county in person Arrange
ments are now being discussed and 1t
is planned to have special train take
them up there. The date has not
yet been selected, but it is hoped to
get things ready by next week. 1t
is customary for the Legislature to
send a special committee to inspect
the educational institution Of the
state, and there is every reason why
the same thing should be done in ref
erence to the plantation. They can
thus familiarize themselves to GER
tain extent with the working OF the
system and be prepared to pass more
intelligently on any suggestions for
change. The idea is to have the COM
mittee as large as possible.

AT Seven Pines Colonel Gordon
showed for the first time the superb
stuff of which he was made. He led
his regiment into the deadhest part of
the fray with a gallantry unsurpass-
able, and his men followed him like
the splendid heroes they were. More
than half Of the regiment was killed,
and out of one company Of forty men
only ten came out of battle alive. Col
onel Gordon's clothing was riddled
with bullets, his horse killed under
him, and his own escape from death
was nothing less than miraculous.
Colonel Gordon s regiment was the
first body of Confederate troops to
cross the Potomac into Maryland
In the arrangement of the terms of
surrender between Lee and Grant
General Gordon was one of the COM
missioners and was instrumental in
carrying out the agreement. When
the sad day came for the dissolution
of the armies of the Confederacy,
General Gordon gathered his ragged
and battle-scarred veterans about him
and in speech unmatched for its
eloquence and pathetic beauty, he
bade them good-by, urged them to ac-
cept the inevitable, go home with
stout hearts and set themselves to the
task fo rebuilding their ruined homes.
This speech was a classic and found
a lasting place in the hearts of the
tried old veterans who heard it.
At the close of the war General
Gordon moved to Atlanta, where he
has since made his home.
