Davidson left me

men miserable. Davidson left me
without making any remarks. Capt.
Davidson often spoke of the cursing
he got on the works at Corinth and
often spoke of me as the man who
would rather be shot than cursed by
old Nelson. Capt. Davidson was
one of the first officers | became ac-
quainted with IN the army and had
many private and interesting con-
versations with him, and whatever
his conduct was after he left our
regiment, it does not annul that civ
il and military friendship which was
tested during many trying times.
Soon after the war the govern
ment established national cemeteries
for the purpose of collecting and
burying the soldiers in government
burying grounds, and also made an
appropriation to furnish the graves
of all honorably discharged soldiers
regardless of where they were bur-
led and to pay the freight on them
to the nearest steamboat landing or
railroad depot, a stone, and all that
is required of the applicant is to set
them at the graves.
The Grand Army of the Republic
is an organization composed solely
of honorably discharged soldiers,
sailors and marines who served in
the United States Army or Navy
during the dark days of the Rebel
lion. The object of the order, brief
ly stated, is to foster and strength
en- that kind and fraternal feeling
which ever unites true soldiers and
which is indissolubly welded in the
fire of battle in Which so many of
our comrades sacrificed their lives:
to assist our needy or destitute
comrades in arms ard the widows
and orphans of those who fought or
fell in the hottest of causes that men
ever battled for.
The Both day of May is designated
for the purpose Of strewing with
flowers or otherwise decorating the
graves of comrades who died in the
defense of their country during the
late rebellion and whose bodies now
lie in almost every city. village and
hamlet in the land.

Now is the Time!

Now! when this weather just
makes one dream of the cool and
delightful retreats of the Adiron-

OF the Thousand Islands of the

The thousand lakes and streams of
Michigan. Canada, and the north
west:
Where one can roam with fishing
rod along shady forest streams and
swing the line out over the deep
pools,
Or paddle through quiet waters
with only the music of the forest or
the ripple of the water to break the
deep quiet of the solitude.

ORATORY AND FLOWERS.
Words of Tender Patriotism Ut
tered by Col. EDWIN Forbes,
Orator of the Day.

At the Decoration Day exercises
at Weber, Hancock county, May 30.
Col. Edwin Forbes of Fordsville,
was the orator of the day. In sub
stance he said:
There has been and are yet living
many brave men who, with hearts
unnerved, could have charged to the
very lips of the cannon-men though
their comrades were falling around
the mas thick as the withered leaves
of autumn who fearlessly faced the
leaden rain and iron hail battle, men
who could speak fiuently at the head
Of their associates and followers,
but when they undertook to address
an audience composed of citizens
they made almost a complete failure
and their hearers had to content
themselves with the honor OF having
heard a renowned military man on
international affairs which they knew
or cared nothing about. This was
the case when Gen. Scott spoke at
Lexington, KY, in 1852 and Col.
Humphrey Marshall at Cloverport
in 1857 and 1858.
In the spring and early summer of
1861 the war of the Rebellion had
assumed grand proportions. Beau
reguard menaced Washington on the
plains of Manassas and federal troops
were marching to oppose him. In
the Shenandoah Valley Johnson
was in possession, and that beautiful
region was experiencing the vicissi-
tudes Of war. The Mississippi river
was blockaded It's entire length from
Cairo to New Orleans and a cOnfed-
crate navy was forming in Mobile
Bay.
In the Southwest other opposing
armies were confronting each other.
1t only needed a spark to set the
whole train in a blaze. 1t was a
period of anxious expectations. Ar

An UnexerciSed Right.

Every state in the Union has the
right, under the law of eminent do
main, to prohibit the cutting down
of tree on any land, public or pri-
vate, unless another tree, or several
trees, shall be planted in its place.
And the states will one day awaken
to the necessity of exercising this
right. 1t is exercised abroad.
