The First American Flag.


Before the battle of Lexington,
there was copfusIou in the Con-
tlnental army because each colony
had a different flag. Congress
appointed committee to design
a new flag, and their labors de-
veloped one known as the Cam
bridge flag, because it was raised
at Washington's headquarters at
Cambridge, Mass, January l,
1875. 1t differed from our pres
ent flag only in the field which
bore the British "Union Jack.
The people rejected 1t and de-
manded a distinctive emblem.
free from suggestion of the
British.
May 26, 1776, General Wash
ington, Robert Morris and George
Ross met in Philadelphia and
took the matter under consider
alton. Calling at the house OF
John Hancock, president of Con-
gress, they secured some red,
white and blue bunting, which
they took to the nearby home of
Betsy Ross, a niece OF George
Ross, at 239 Arch street, where
Washington showed her his de-
sign, which was the Cambridge
flag, with the field changed to
solid blue, bearing thirteen white
stars in circle.
"Can you make it," asked
Washington.
4 can try" said Betsey.
Three days after the committee
returned and the fair revolution
list delighted them with the first
view of that flag now so loved at
home and respected the world
around.
Betsey Ross husband was
killed in battle six months before
she made the flag, and it was no
less her own ardent patriotism
than her skill as a needlewoman
that attracted General Washing
ington to her. By general con-
sent she continued to make the
flags of the new republic fer
many years.
In 1898 the Betsey Association
was formed, which now numbers
100000 persons. The association
bought the house in which the
first flag was made and fitted it
for the reception of patriotic
sight-seers. The building will
soon pass to the control of the
United States. when the adjoin-
ing properties will be bought and
a small park formed around the
quaint little structure, to pre-
serve it from fire or accident.
The material of which the
house was built, three centuries
ago, were brought from England
by William Penn, and a most in
teresting fact IS that the exact di-
mansions of the house are 17x76
Ia phrophetic measurement,
truly! before 1776, the year of
the Declaration of independence.

OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
Senator Culberson Of Texas for
President in i908--Canal Pur-
chase Investigation.
Washington. D. C.,
Feb. %, 1906. ]

Feb. %, 1906.
Senator Tillman's resolution
regarding the railroad trusts In
West Virginia is step in the
right direction, and created quite
a stir i'm the Senate. The SEN
ator is rough, rugged, fearless and
honest, and when in action re-
minds one forcibly of a twenty
ton steam hammer at work.
Senators Bailey and Carmack are
equally alert in their efforts to
look out for the interests of the
people but follow different lines.
Bailey goes after them with a
baseball bat, while Carmack takes
their hide off with razor. The
effect is the same. If you don't
believe it ask. Senator Patterson.
He knows.
CULBERsON FOR PRESIDENT.
It's getting along about that
time of the political calendar
when Presidential possibilities
are talked about, so / am going
to get in line and have my say.
If my good fellow Democrats
throughout this country were In
touch with matters political as
closely as | am, could make an
accurate prediction as to our next
nominee. The Democratic party
is in the hands of a lot of political
PIRATES, and our first effort must
be directed to saving the party
from these Wall street cut
throats, whose sole object is to
rob the people and enrich them
selves at the expense of our
National party. It's high time to
wake up and pave the way for the
nomination of an honest Demo-
crat, to lead us to victory at the
polls. That kind can't be found
in New York, nor anywhere else
where Ryan and Belmont have
control of things. We have a
winner in our party, one whom
we know to possess all those quail
ifications to be desired in a cham
pion of the people. That's SEN
ator Charles A. Culberson of
Texas. Let's all get busy Inning
up for him, and show our Repub-
lican friends at the next election
what the Democrats can do with
q real man at the head of their
National ticket. With his name
there we will win.
WHO GOT THE MONEY!
The Senate Committee on In
teroceanic Canals has summoned
VIM. Nelson Cromwell to appear
before it and tell it who got that
forty million dollars that we paid
for the canal. 1t is to be hoped
they find out, for from the ru-
mors here very little of it left
Wall street, and the public will
be treated to q nasty mess if the
truth comes out.
RAILROAD RATE BILL.
l have often remarked in this
letter that when any railroad rate
bill passed by Republican Con-
gress and signed by Republican,
President is put forth, it will not
be in the interest of the people.
They will be bowling fo-. its re-
peal in less than six months.
Mark the prediction.

Dividends would be limited to a fair

ator, but would be virtually guaran-

Taxes would be fixed and definite.
Continuing the Senator said:

Undoubtedly it is pleasant to loll

a vehicle is happy amid the odor of
violets and lavender that comes from
the satchet bags she has placed around
it. But, the Baroness Elizabeth Rosen,
daughter of the Russian Ambassador
TO this country, has more poetic ideas.
She has a charming little coupe at the
sides, of which, where another woman
would hare mirror, powder puff and
hairpins, she has two contrivances
which hold water and keep a handful
of violets fresh and fragrant. 1t is
a delight to step into this carriage. The
Baroness is going to have additional
flower stands in the coupe, and will
have perfume and color wherever she
goes.

Legal Notice.

Notice is hereby given that at the
court house in Marietta, Georgia, at 8
O'Clock, a. m. on the second Monday in
February next, the undersigned, as
guardian for Susie A. Baldwin and John
r. Baldwin, will make application to the
Judge of the Superior Court of said
county for leave to sell the properly of
his said wards situated in Merriwether
county, Georgia, and described as
tract or parcel of land located on the
Talborton road, near the corporate lin
its of the town of Greenville, and known
as part of land lot No. 184 in the Sth
district of originally Troup, now Merrl-
wether county, bounded on the north by
the property of Jas L. Render, south
by property of w. p Daniell, east by
the TalbottOn road, and west by the
property of James l.. Render. Said
tract contains two ceres, more or less,
one acre fronting on Talbotton road,
commencing at the crab-apple tree in the
flat, and running south seventy (70) feet;
the second acre lying back of the above
mentioned acre, and being the property
where Mrs. Mary A. Baldwin, the moth
er of said wards formerly resided.
Petitioner will ask leave to sell said
property at private sale for the sum of
100000. The reason for asking for
said sale is that the premises are in bad
repair, requiring the expenditure of a
considerable sum of money; the income
from said property is small; the price
offered is good; and it is to the interest
of petitioners said wards that said prop
erty be sold for said sum. The proceeds
will be reinvested in such way as the
Court may hereafter order,
All parties at interest will take due
notice and govern themselves according
ly. January 1st, 1903.

THE GRIP.

Before we can sympathize with
others, we must have suffered our
selves. No one can realize the suffer-
ing attendant upon an attack of the
grip, unless he has had the actual ex-
perience. There is probably no disease
that causes so much physical ard men,
tai agony, or which so successfully de-
ties medical aid. All danger from the
grip, however, may be avoided by the
prompt use of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy, not one
case has ever been reported that has
resulted in pneumonia or that has not
recovered. For sale by w Legg &
