THE REUNION.

ITO OlO OOAl6U6IhISb I6uulOU
here last Thursday was the most
successful and enjoyable event of
the kind ever held in Benton
County. About three thousand
people, men, women and children,
were present and all had a most
enjoyable time.
A large number of old Confed-
crates were present, including a
number frome other counties and
States. Some of them had not
met in years, and there were many
hearty greetings and pleasant ex-
changes of "reminiscences of the
long ago. The names of about
eighty-fve veterans of the Con-
federacy we're enrolled, but this
did not include all that were at
the reunion.
The arrangements we're COM
plete in every detail. Barrels of
ice water were located at conven-
lent points about the ground, and
all trains were met by committees
and the hospitality of those hay-
ing vehicles was extended to the
old Confederates and the visitors
from other points. There was an
abundant supply of provisions on
the ground, and after meeting all
expenses the local camp has some
funds left in the treasury.
Christopher N. Frazier made
the welcoming address, which we
will later publish in full. This
was followed by an Grafton by Joe
T. Odle, which was a splendid
tribute to the Confederate dead
and to the cause Of those who wore
the gray.
In the afternoon speeches were
made by Captain Frank A. Moses
of Knoxville, chairman of the
State Board of Pension Rxami-
ners, Mrs. Alexander B. White
Mrs. S. @. Dobbins and Rev. W :
7. Boiling Of Paris, Mrs. W. W.
Baird of Humboldt, Hon. J. Ben.
Fuqua of Waverly and others.
Prominent among the visitors
besides the speakers we're Judge
j. s. Alden, Colonel Sol Jones, W.
J. Wiseman, J. w. Bowden, w. 7.
Bolen, w. s. Boman, W. P. Erwin,

and W. G. Moore of Humphreys,
I. e. Tucker of Huntingdon, r.
d. Steele of Centerville and many
others whose names we failed to
secure. Joe Warren, a colored
veteran from Paris, was present.
In the afternoon the old veter-
ans marched out to the Camden
Cemetery and decorated the graves
Of the Confederate dead, about
twenty-five in number. Owing to
the lateness of the hour the send
ing of flowers for decorating tho
graves of the Confederate dead in
other localities was omitted.

THE WORST ENEMY.

A new sin is now laid at the door OF
the terrible mosquito; 1t is said to
cause the fall OF nations.
An English medical investigator has
discovered that the decay of Greece
and Rome was due to the mosquito and
that the intellectual vigor OF the Greeks
declined as result OF the malaria
carried by the bite OF this insect.
BY way Of corroboration. an Eastern
exchange cites the new birth of New
Jersey since the war Of determination
of mosquitoes, what this common
wealth WIS previous TO the drainage
OF the Hackensack Meadows and the
sprinkling OF petroleum on ponds ana
pools Is matter OF record. Now the
state that was the mother of trusts
has become one Of their harshest regu-
lators. Public morals have improved,
civic reform has been instituted, the
Colby movement has run Its course,
strlcter excise and automobile lcgisla-
ton Is in force. The mosquito State
has redeemed her name
From these premises the obvious con-
olusion Is reached that the way to pre-
serve tho Republic Is to destroy the
mosquitoes,

As we have pointed out repeatedly.
the law makes 1t the duty Of the city
| auditor TO publish on or before the first
Monday In February each year a true
statement of the financial status of the
CITY at the close of the preceding year
This provision is evidently intended
to be somewhat OF safeguard against
a policy that, unchecked, would mean
financial ruin. But the party in power
has up to date neglected To order its
representative In the auditors office
to comply with this simple provision
of tho law. Some kind of report was
offered long after the date set by law
but it was found to be so incomplete
and unreliable, that II was not accept

therefore not been published as the law
demands. The situation here Is. there.

where. as the World said the other day,
no one knows just exactly what the
public indebtedness Is. Reports are

But 1t Is understood that our CITY
now is about $3.50 900 short in the gencr-
al funds, and that is u serious matter.
There should be no overdraft, under or
binary conditions, until the month OF
juno. The time from that month and
until the taxes arc beginning to come

this shortage has now grown to the

at this time. There is no evidence OF

1t is needless TO say that this short

cost of the American" misgovernment
