Dead" Man Wanted Trial.

ID. Holt, indicted at the former
teen of the Franklin County Cir
cult Court on the charge of play
ing cards on Sunday, and whose
case was dismissed Monday, his
death being suggested and ad-
mitted, appeared before the court
Tuesday and asked that he be
tGed for the offense charged
against him. The records Of the
court, however, showed that he
was dead, and the case was nolle
pressed. Shortly after Holt was
indicted he removed to Fayette-
vile, where he was taken sick
and after undergoing an opera.
ton he was reported to have
died. Holt is in the very best Of
health and intended to appear at
court on the first day of the term,
bat was under the impression
tkat the court did not meet until
October. When informed Of his
nlistake he left at once for Ozark
,tY$ind that he was officially
N"dead," and the only correction
made OF the error Of the court
was to again dismiss the case
against him.

gress, realizing the appropriateness
of longer using British colors, resolved
that the flag of the 13 United States
be Is stripes, alternate red and white;
that the union be 10 stars, white in a
blue field, representing a new con-
stellation
The first national flag after this pat
tern was made by Mrs. Ross, a lady
of Philadelphia. She had some dis
ting1ished men to assist her, among
whom were Benjamin Franklin and
Gen. Joseph Reed We are not in
formed whether these men, appointed
by congress for the purpose, used the
thimble, needle and thread that tho
lady herself employed. From her gen.
eral character it is probable that Mrs.
Ross declined to let them boss the
job" and proceeded in her own way.
The 10 stars of the flag of 1777
were arranged in circle, although
there was no officially prescribed
form. In 1894, after the admission
of Vermont and Kentucky into the
union, 1t was resolved by congress
that from and after May 1, 1895, the
flag of the United States be IS stripes
alternate red and white, that the union
be Is stars, white, in a blue field"
No provision was made by this act
for future alterations, nor were any
changes made till 1918, although a
number of new states were admitted
meanwhile into the union On April
OF that year bill embodying< the
suggestions of Capt. Samuel G.. Reid.
who recommended the reduction of
the stripes to the original l3 and the
adoption of stars equal to the number
of the states, formed into one large
star, and new star to be added on
the Fourth of July next succeeding the
admission of each new state, was ap.
proved by President Monroe and the
flag thus established was afterward
hoisted on the hall of representatives.

lived under the British flag. In 1880
the flag of New England was white,
charged with st. Georges cross in red
surmounted with the crown. In the
center was inscribed JacObHs Rex.
While Manhattan was in possession OF
the Dutch the ships waved flag on
which was a beaver, the then insignia
of the New Netherlands. 1907 the
colonies adopted the Union Jack of
Great Britain This was formed by
combination of st. Andrews and St
Georges crosses, and of course was
typical of the fact that the two coun-
tries had become one when Queen
Elizabeth died and the Scottish king
succee to the English throne
At me time of our revolt from Brit
ish authority the Union Jack was in
general use, usually bearing some
patriotic motto of which Liberty and
Union was the favorite. Directly aft
er the battle of Lexington new flag
was improvised with the motto of the
state of Connecticut, viz. "Qui trans
tulit sustinet." This soon gave way
to regimental coloKs, each being dis
tinctive in shade. At Bunker Hill
blue flag was chosen to designate New
England troops--the first sign we see
of union in the colonial army This
flag had ST Georges cross in one
corner. 1t was growing beautifully
