ATLANTA, Ga, January 1O.-John
B. Gordon, the noted Confederate gen
eral IS dead.
General John B. Gordon was one Of
the grand old men of the South. Prob
ably no man fought in the Civil War
who has since been more beloved by
the people who fought with him. At
Confederate reunions in recent years
his comrades have always given him
rousing receptions.
Gordon was born in Upson County,
Georgia, February g. 1882. He gra-
duated at the Georgia State University
studied law, and was admitted to the
bar In 1861 he entered the Confeder-
ate service as a captain of infantry
At the close of the war he was a
lieutenant general But Gordon en-
dured great hardships showed remark
able bravery and hardness and skill
as a leader not equalled by any other
Southerner in the war. He was shot
eight times during the war and was
severely injured at the battle of An
tietam. Gordon was always to be
found in the front ranks of his men
during a battle. At the surrender of
Gen. Lee, General Gordon commanded
one wing of the army.
Following the war Gordon went into
politics. He was the Democratic can
didate for governor of his native state
in 1868, and, as was believed, was elect
ed by a large majority, but his oppo-
nent, Rufus B. Bullock, was awarded
the office He was later elected gov
ernor and served also in the United
States Senate, Oeing recognized as an
eloquent and leading member of the
Democratic party Many stories are
told of his campaign speeches. Gordon
carried a scar on his forehead as a re-
suit of the war. On one occasion he
was speaking to a big audience in a
stronghold of his opponent. The scar
was covered by the Generals hair. The
crowd hooted Gordon and did not give
him an opportunity to say a word.
Matters were becoming critical when
a gust of wind blew aside his hair so
that the scar was visible. A war vete-
ran noticed this. "See that scar" SAID
some one and Immediately the vast
hall was ringing W. cheers and af-
terward he was respectfully listened to
and his forcible speech carried the dis
trict for lin on election day.
General Gordon lived on an estate
near Atlanta. On his plantation were
many negroes and these all adored the
old fighter. He was the Commander
in-Chief of the United Confederate
Veterans.

A Man. Job

Massachusetts court has given a $50 judg

This legal estimate of the cash value of job is some
thing novel;
Courts have long awarded damages for stolen kisses,
injured dogs broken limbs and for alienated aec
tons of wives and for hurt feelings but this granting
of damages for lost job opens department in
Jurisprudence.
And yet the prose fact that mans job is in most

1t is the job that completes the Without that he
is only fotsame and jetsam upon the of life.
In this day and age of universal industry job is

more who may fit themselves to the same job.
Mans sacredest right is to have and to hold job for
