The BIue and the Gray.

Knee deep in the scarlet peoples,
Waist high in the waving corn,
At the edge of the silver streamlet
They met by chance one morn.
He was a Union soldier
In blue and buttons gay,
And she was a Southern maiden
In a shabby gown Of gray.
She looked at his stalwart shoulders,
And face with its healthy tan:
He looked at her cheeks of roses,
And so the tale began.
The peoples yet were sleeping.
And who was to hinder, pray,
If the blue clad soldier captured
A kiss from the girl in gray?
Every night of duty
He stole from the lines of blue
To meet her under the live oaks
In the moonlight and the dew,
And To- when the bugle sounded
And the regiment marched away
He left a ring and a promise
With the sweet little maid in gray.
After the war was over
And the battle flags were furled,
And the peaceful snow OF the orchards
Folded the weary world,
He came again to the village
In the heart Of the fragrant May
The bells rang out for a bridal
And the blue was wed to the gray.

Still their regiments are marching-mauy

And no bugles sound assembly" in the

Glorious tales Of gallant service echo still

Though forgetful of the living who have

Keeping green dead heroes memories as

Still another weary winter shrouded in the

Now we bring them crowns and gariandS

Let them rest in honored slumber, while

Death Of Fred johnson.

Fred johnson died Tuesday even
ing, September s, at 6 p. m.-appen-
dicitis being the cause of his un-
timely end. He had been sick for
about two weeks and WAS under the
care of Doctor Bruner. Tuesday
morning his condition became SO
alarming that Doctors French and
Bell were called in for consultation.
1t WAS decided to operate MS soon as
possible and the operation was per-
formed about three o. clock that after
noon. The physicians found that the
appendix was ruptnred and realized,
as they had from the first, that the
chance for saving the young mans
life was exceedingly slim. He died
without regaining consciousness.
The body was taken to Rifle for in
terrment, the deceascd's parents and
other relatives residing at that place.
Mr.. johnson was a young man, %
or 2S years OF age, Of good habits ana
commanded the respect and good will
OF all who knew him. He leaves a
wife and other relatives and q large
