A Gallant Veteran Gone.

No nation or race of people have loved
their heroes better than the South loves
her Confederate soldiers. When one Of
the few that is left of them passes before
us we feel like removing our hats in ac-
knowledgement Of our admiration and
respect.
Their ranks are growing thinner, and
to-day another one sleeps in Salem
Cemetery.
Green P. Winget, born in North Car
DINA, April 10, 1882, died at Red Land,
Jan. %, 1908. Of his record as soldier
we need not speak. One who followed
Forrest requires no eulogy. That he
faced the carnage OF Denmark, Iuka,
Corinth and Franklin, proves the mettle
of the man, and when the whitening
blasts of war had swept the land he turn
ed his steps from the field of battle to-
ward the Southland, not with the march
Of victor, but as one who is greater.
One who, in the gloom of defeat, finds
manly courage and dignity to be noble
ri
still.
With axe and pillow he began to rebuild
and recreate, never shrinking from q
duty as a citizen and christian, and
through disappointments and sorrow that
make weaklings Of many we find him
standing like "Saul of Tarus,' be-
lieving that in the end right and justice
must prevail.
1t cannot be given to know while here
Of the deep silence that lies beyond the
sound of our brief actions and the clash
of cruel wars. These are things shut
within the vision of the immortal sou
forever, but we believe that in the grave
!. our old friend has found the peace ant
! quiet Of common destiny.

65ow About Walks?

This week our attention was
gain called TO the self evident fact
that We are still in neel Of side
walks ct va.iou5 PLACES along main
street, where school children have
to pass al least four times a day
for five days each week. There is
10 reason Why we should not have
at least one good sidewalk to and
from our public school, and it
woald appear that this duty has
been neglected. 1t would mean
10 great expense to tie public to
complete The na;n thorougaial
which would add much utility to
the WORK already done, and elm
mate the many difficulties expert
enced by school children and 9th
ers who must be upon the streets
in muddy weather.
