children an Inheritance to be proud
of. l don't know you gentlemen per-
sonally but unless you differ from the
average man in the world you will
not leave any great fortune to your
heirs, for the average man doesn't
leave very large fortune to be
divided among his children. Let US
leaveNour children something better
than money. A fortune left has
much unhappiness. Let US leave our
children something that will insure
happiness, that is permanent, and
what is this? A good government is
the best inheritance that can be left
anyone; government that will in
sure to the people protection in life,
liberty, and pursuit of happiness, and
guarantee to them a fair share in
the government of which they are a
part. Now this is democracy, and
who can complain of this policy? 1

RETURNED FROM REUNION.
General R. C. Shaver and Judge J. s
 Kelly With U. (. V. at Memphis.


 General K G. Shaver and Judge J. 5. Kelly got home Thursday from the national reunion of United Confederate Veterans at Memphis. General Shaver had a grand time, meeting very large percentage of those yet living who were in the different regi- ments commanded by him, the Bloody Seventh" the Twenty Iseventh and Thirty-eighth Ar kansas Infantry. (The two lat ter were later consolidated and the numbers dropped and the name "Shaver's regiment" given the new organization. This was bis command in the trans Missis- sippi department
 Judge Kelly, who was Mis- souri soldier, was less fortunate, there being hut few of the old vets present from that state.
 It is believed Arkansas headed the roll as having the largest number of veterans registered.
 General Shaver ran across an interesting souvenir while in Memphis-the original of the first order he issued after being elect ed colonel of the Seventh Arkan- sas. This regiment was organ lzed by General Shaver, was mus tered in at Smithvllle, Ark, June 16, 1861, he was elected colonel the following day and issued the order on June Is, 1861, as the date indicates. It is as follows:
 ORDER NO. 1.
 Head Quarters Camp Patten,
 18th June. 1861.
 It. Waddle is sent to Powhatton to attend to bsuiness of the Regt. He is authorized to contract for blankets for Capt. Straughn's company. His con trocts on this matter will be endorsed hv k. G. Shaver,
 Col. Comandt.
 General Shaver says that they completely lost Representative John II. Hamilton, who accom-. panied them. He states that when last seen, at 5 o'clock Wednesday evening, John was standing on the bank of the Mis- sissippi looking west and irqulr- ing for Eleyton, Ala, where he was born. This old town has now gone into history, as Blr- ming ham is now situated near the old site. John now mentions Birmingham only in speaking of hls birth, so says the general.
