TO MARK THE GRAVES.
The United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy to Mark tht Graves of
Veterans.

For some time past the members OF
the Drayton Rutherford Chapter /.
ID. g.. have been planning to mark the
graves Of the veterans, those who died
during the war and those who have
died since. Unless this step is taken,
before a great many years there Will
be great trouble in identifying the
last resting place of the bodies Of
some Of these heroes: many Of whom
have no stone to mark their graves,
and some having no relatives alive to
do this, will probably never have it
done unless the I. D. G.. undertakes
it. If it is not done, the probability
is that the beautiful custom Of memo
rial dav will fall into disuse. because
Of lack of knowledge as to who are
the confederate dead. This, of course,
must not be. if we Of this generation
can prevent it. The plan Of the
daughters is to mark every grave
alike, SO that the most casual glance
will tell you at once that the grave
is that of a Confederate soldier. They
have already given the order for these
markers, and the design selected can
not fail to please. A white marble
slab, standing one foot out Of the
ground, eight inches wide by two
thick, bearing upon the face the Con
federate battle flag, and on the re-
verse side the name Of him who rests
beneath, on those graves which have
not monuments already. These mark
ers will be placed in exactly the same
position on every grave. Feeling
deeply the sacredness of the work
which they. are undertaking and the
interest it must awaken in the soul
Of every one at all identified with the
lost cause, the daughters have decld-
ed to try to raise the money neces-
sary for this work (more than one
hundred dollars) by the gifts OF
those whose duty and joy it is to hon
or our brave dead. The daughters in
this way appeal to all, who deem the
cause worthy one, to give as gener-
ously as possible. Every member of
the. chapter has been asked for the
rift Of one dollar and the Sons OF
Vetreans and all interested in per-
petuating the valor Of our fathers
and other brave kindred. are asked to
help. The daughters have set>,sthe
9Th of March as the time for. the col
lecting Of this fund. Contributions
for this work may be turned over to
Mr.. John NJ. Kinard, or to. any mem
Der Of the chapter. .." : r..
The daughters feel assured that
this appeal will meet with a most
hearty response from all, friends OF
the lost cause. ". '.:@:..

ties to prevent a lynching.
Parsons had old his crops to Hamilton
after a quarrel and had loaded his goods
in a wagon and started for North Missouri,
his former home.
As Parsons was driving along Hamilton
appeared with a shotgun and fired both
barrels into Parsons's body. Hamilton then
beat Mrs. P~arsOns's head almost to a pulp
and dubbed the three children to death.
He then loaded the bodies into the wagon,
took them tn Big Piney Creek and dumped
them in. A party Of fishermen found the
bodies on Saturday and sent word TO Hous-
ton.
An hour later Hamilton rode to town on a
mule that had belonged to Parsons and
he was arrested. The Jews Of the crime
and arrest spread over the county and
there has been much talk Of a lynching.
The community is shocked AZ much by the
identity of the murderer as by the crime,
for Hamilton has borne a good reputation.

under arrest charged with hazing Godfrey

The report was made by a first class man

The hazing does not appear to have been
severe, but it comes as a surprise, as it was
understood that hazing was at an end at
the institution
Il Is said that Cutler entered Chevalier's
room and asked him his name. He was
told. and then applied a nickname 70
him, saying that was to be his name in the
future.
The conversation was overheard by a
first class man on duty, who reported it.
A board of investigation composed Of
naval officers has been in session for some

hazing has existed since the opening Of the
