HISTORY OF GREAT STRUGGLE

The survivors of the great Civil
War are fast passing away. Those
for whom the mournful "tapsn
has not sounded can hear the
warning "tattoo" as they ap-
preach the last bivouac from
whence they shall be called by the
reVeille of a celestial trumpeter.
With them will pass all personal
knowledge of innumerabIe scenes
and incidents of the warm camp,
on the march, ON the field of bat
tie, and many unrecorded accounts
of deeds patriotic, heroic and hui
mOrOus. No man can see all of a
war; no man can see all of a battle;
but many things come under the
observation of even the humblest
soldier, and these collected throw
an Illuminating sidelight on the
general history of the war, the
times, the men who fought it, the
character of the soldiery, etc.
Among the survivors of every reg.
inent there should be some histo-
rian to write his regiments his
tory. The Civil War was one of
the most remarkable in the worlds
history, and much knowledge of
it is fast fading. Such books as
Gen. John &. Gordon's, which is
not a pretentious history, will
prove of value to the student and
historian when he comes to write
what has not yet been written, a
true, accurate, comprehensive and
impartial history of that mighty
struggle.

AND STILL THE FREE SEEDS

The House by an overwhelmn-
ing vote declared itself in favor of
continuing the distribution of free
seed to the people. 1t never
seemed to us there was any gum
in the objection to such distribu-
ton. The amount of the appro-
priation is only $242, 900. 1t in
wolves no strain on the govern
ment treasury and the seed is ac-
copied by farmers and truckers
gratefully. The distribution Gov
ers every congressional district in
the union. It leads to experiment
tation and there is many a profita-
BILE garden in the land which was
started from the seed packets OF
the agricultural department.
Congress losses millions through
private pension bills, spends other
millions in entertaining royalty
and so on, therefore it seems a very
parsimOnious, picayunish, cheese
pairing policy to attempt to deprive
the people of the traditional an
nual distribution of only $242, O0C
worth of seed.
Every congressman who has q
rural constituency knows full well
that the seeds are appreciated
Their coming sends the mother and
the children to the garden and the
joy of expectancy shines in the
household. The amount sent out
is not enough to affect the business
of the great seed houses and, there
fore, no harm but much good is
done. No congressman can sup
ply from his share anything more
than small proportion of the PEG.
pie of his district, and as logical
result the planting of government
seed must increase the sale of seeds
at the local stores
Besides, it is one way ofputting
the people into touch with govern
ment-a kind of a genuine remind
er that it has, after all, some sort
of interest in the welfare of the
commonwealth. Macon Telegraph

A Chicago doctor says that for the
last fifteen years he has used egg 10
cure felon and has yet to see case it
will not cure. The way to apply the
egg is as follows: Take a fresh egg
and crack the shell at the larger end.
Make hole just large enough to admit
the thumb or finger, whichever it may
be, and force it into the egg as far as
possible without rupturing the shell.
Wipe off the egg which runs out and
bind a handkerchief or soft cloth
around the finger or thumb, leaving
the egg on overnight. This will gener-
ally cure in one application, but if not
make another application.
