FATE OF FLAGS UNKNOWN.
Col. FreI Olds Writes I.ettcr to the
Secretary of War.

Col f. A. Olds is trying to secure
fun information with reference to
North Carolina flags, To that end he
wrote the following letter 10 the Sec
rotary Of War:
THE flags which were returned by
the War Department to North Caro-
lima have been placed in special cases
in the Hall of History, and 1 have pre-
pared q special catalogue of them.
There are 80 and the following bear
written Inscriptions showing capture:
First Regiment, Seventh, Sixth, Thir-
tcenth, Eighteenth (three) Sixteenth;
Twenty-se Twenty-third Twcn-
ty-fOurth, Thrtieth. Thirty-third,

ond The following flags bear no
statement concerning their fate:
Twelfth Regiment, Fourth, Thir-
tecnth. Twcnty-eighth, Thirtieth,
Cwo) Thirty-fourth, (two); Thirty
eighth, Thirty ninth, Forty-siXth,
Forty seventh. or course some flags
were surrendered by General Lee at
Appomattox, and by General john
st0n near Durham, and ii is said that
some were found in the capitol at
Raleigh, upon the occupation of this
city by the United States forces. If
the War Department has any infor-
nation regarding the flags of the
class to which | have specially al
luded. / will be particularly grateful
for it. and have delayed printing
cards to be placed upon the cases
until ] heard from you regarding
this matter"
TO this inquiry the military secrc-
tary Of the War Department has
made the following reply: 'This De-
partment is unable to furnish any

Mrs. Dortch had been i'll for some
time and for awhile had been in
Richmond, where she had medical at

thought advisable to bring her to
Raleigh and a special Pullman was
arranged to bring her to this city.

some days signs of improvement were
noticed. Her death yesterday morn

Mrs. Dortch was the former Miss

DAY WAS TYPICAL

Beautiful as the season it typified
Sunday was all ouivering with the
warmth of springtime, just a suspicion
of bracing air telling that winter was
about to take its farewell.
1t was Easter, and Il glorious day it
was. The day in its splcndor was fit
ting for the elaborate church services
held in Raleigh. Nearly every church
in the city made it special day, and
a genuine feast of melody was given
in tunefui hymns of praise.
1t was the Day of Days in the
church calendar, Tor it was the ami
Versary of that day when the stone was
rolled from the sepuicnre, when the
Christ came from the tomb, and when
the resurrection of the dead was made
a living reality in the person of the
resurreCted LORD.
Nature itself was typical of the
great anniversary. The flowers, the
Foliage, the hint of summer in the air.
the Warbling OF the birds the green
Of the trees and all mundane things
were in harmony with the season. The
forty days of Lent were over and the
Christian world rejoiced and was glad
because of the Easter Morn.

Ring out and let your mirth.
Your gladstone chime your chant sub

Resound throughout the earth!
Ring loud to the clouds of Heaven!
Ring out, and shout to the hills!

Till the world with the music
thriils!'
There was an uplift in the day ana
in the season. All crecds. all condi-
tons felt the inspiration of the hall
lowed anniversary. The churches
were crowded with Easter congre2a-
tons and the benign influence of the
day swayed all hearts.
Each church had particular pro-
gram Of music, and at all the churches
the music was enjoyed. The Episcopal

the day, the exercises at both Christ
Church and the Church Of the Good
Shepherd being attended by great
congregations.
In the afternoon the special services
Of the 3. Y. p. u. at the Tabernacle
were enjoyed by an overflow congre-

Of course, when a mans health
shows he can stand coffee without
trouble, let him drink it, but most
highly organized brain-workers sim
ply cannot.
The drugs natural to the coffee
berry affect the stomach and other
organs and thence to the complex ner-
vous system, throwing it out of ball
ance and producing disorders in var
ious parts of the body. Keep UP this
daily poisoning and serious disease is
sure to supervene. So when man or
woman finds that coffee is a smooth
but deadly enemy and health is of any
value at all, there is but one road
quit.
1t is easy to find out if coffee be the
cause of the troubles, for if left off 10
