FLAGS AND
FLOWERS

Memorial and Decoration Day wa:
observed jointly in Roswell yesterday
the old Confederate soldiers respond
ing to the invitation of the member.
OF the Grand Army of the Republic
and making of the occasion day iI
which the bonds of political friendship
once severed were made stronger. +
was a sight that did the heart good te
see the old soldiers of both North
and South marching side by side, al
thoughts of the ancient conflict wiped
out in their desire to show honor to
the memory OF the dead of both Gray
and Blue.
The days services begain at eleven
in the morning when DIR. w. G. Alex
anrer preached the memorial sermon
at che Presbyterian church. On this
occasion the house was filled to it's ca
pacity, every seat taken and people
standing in the places not filled with
chairs. The old soldiers were there
in a body, an equal number of both
Confederate and Federal veterans be
ing in attendance. in all little less
than forty. A noticeable feature of the
event was the great number of the old
veterans who have passed away and
the few who are left to confer the hon
ors that are due.
The service opened with the prelude
and singing of the Doxology. Then
came the responsive Bible reading ac-
cording TO the Presbyterian practice
Then was sang the Gloria" after
which the choir and congregation
sang a hymn. The reading of the
scripture lesson was followed by a dll-
ct by Mrs. Fred c. Hunt and Miss Eva
Nelson and then came the offertory
Mrs. ]. M. Nelson, Miss Eva Nelson
and Mrs. A. S. Trube then sang beau
tiful trio and after the announcements
and another hymn, DR.. Alexander gave
the memorial address. The conclud
ing numbers were an anthem by the
choir, under the leadership of Miss
Nelson, and the singing of America, -
by all.
DIR. Alexander's sermon was on "a
Good Soldier" He told of the duties
Of the soldier in war, and the soldier
of peace, showing that the soldier fol
Christ has as many trials as the mar
fighting for his country. He showed
that the same fortitude and courage
were needed in the battles of today
as of old. He commended the old sol
diers of 1S61-65 and his praise was
given alike to the brave men of botl
South and North. There was nothing
is his remarks to rankle in the breast
OF either side. His talk was more &
balm to the old wounds that seldom, il
ever, give pain any more. His ad
dress is praised alike by the loca
representatives of the great armie:

highest eulogy Of the one president
who during his term of Office, was
tried on Impeachment charges.
Mr.. Littleton Is a native OF East
Tennessee. and he expressed high ap-
probation OF the honor conferred upon
him in making him the orator OF the
occasion. He reviewed at greai
length the life Of the distinguished
men in whose honor the people had
assembled, and predicted that the day
would come when the entire country
would be pleased TO do homage to the
memory of Andrew johnson.
The place at which the celebration
was held was on the edge Of the city
burial place, which, a year or two ago
was purchased by the government and
has since been made into a national
cemetery. It is beautiful spot just
outside of the town in which, for
several years. in his early life Mr.
johnson worked as tailor.
1t is splendidly cared for and com
mands a fine view of the mountain
range which separates Mr.. Johnson's
adopted state-fr North Carolina

Many visitors came from the outside
and the residents found especial pleas

sign ofH'.Andrew 4..Jnhnsop, Tailor.
which continues to decorate one OF the
hnmblest- buildings here. The people
also manifested much pride in the
fact that notwithstanding the almost
| successful effort to forcibdy eject Mr.
johnson from the White House the
private cemetery. in which he Is bur
| led, is the first of such cemeteries tt
be given a national character by Con
gress.
Among those present and participat
ing in the proceedings was Hon. w
P. Brownlow, member OF Congress
from this district, himself near rela
tive OF the late Parson Brownlow. MT
Johnson's most distinguished Compee.
Mr.. Brownfow was largely RESPONSE
| BILE for the creation OF the nationa
cemetery, and while he occupied n
assigned part on today's program wa
by common consent awarded a posi-
tion OF general prominence.
| In addition to Mr.. Lttleton's speech

nizatien OF the Memorial Association.
There was notable orchestra in at
tendance, several members OF which
were oldtime fiddlers, who furnished
music az the political gatherings dur
ing the -noable Johnson-Gentry CAM
paign for governor before the Civil
War. Many OF them were in reminis-
cent mood, and between tunes mani

visitors with stories OF the dim and
distant past.

days. The Office will be maintained
at the old Bond stand for the present
the Roswell Drug and Jewelry Com
pany. phone SO. The residence phone
of Mr.. Mundy is 100. From eight to
ten men will be employed from the
start and it is the intention OF Mr.
Mundy to enlarge the business in ev-
cry respect and make 1T not only the
best equipped and largest transfer line
In Roswell, but the entire Southwest.
Promptness and satisfaction will be
the main features. Everything will be
transferred and specially will be
made of moving heavy goods such as
safes, etc. Moving houses will also
be an especial feature.
Mr.. Mundy is not a new conner and
is well and favorably known here
among the business and professional
men, having been a resident here since
February, 1901. He came from a fine
Virginia family and located here from
Buchanan ,Botetourt county, Virginia;
his native county. The Mundy family
there Is a large and influential one
and stands high in business and social
circles. The popularity of Mr.. Mundy
was established here at the last gen.
eral election, when he was the nomi-
nee of the Republican party for the Of
flee of sheriff of Chaves county In
this stronghold of Democracy 1t was
conceded that there was hardly
'tghost Of show" for a Republican
to he elected to office in Chaves coun-
ty. and Mr. Mundy made a splendid
oh inc csix-;
his Democratic opponent Captain C.
L. Ballard receiving only $40 votes
more. He was second on the Republi-
can ticket William Johnson receiving
1,051 votes for Assessor against the
present Assessor Guy H. Herbert. On
the fact of these returns it Is a GER
tainty that many Democratic friends
voted for both Messrs Mundy and
Johnson, attesting their popularity.
Soon after arriving here Mr. Mundy
engaged in the sheep business on
Hernandez Lake, so miles north OF
Roswell, in this county. He was sue
cessful in this business and closed out
his interests last December and with
his family moved to the city. He has
an interesting family, wife and five
children and owns his own residence
property at 500 S. Kentucky avenue.
Mr.. Mundy was married eleven years
ago in his native county to Virginia
girl, Miss Elizabeth Lewis, who was
member of most excellent Virginia
family
Ed Mundy is hard worker of un-
questionable integrity and Is certainly
destined to make a success in his new
undertaking.
Mr.. Bond has also closed out his in
terests in the Roswell Drug and Jew
elry Co. He intends to leave Roswell
with his family next month, but his
plans are not fully materialized. He
will probably locate at Albuquerque.
Mr.. Bond has been resident of Ros-
well about twelve years, coming from
BrownWood, Texas. He was married
here May II, 1901 to Miss Mary Haff-
ley, who has been \ resident of Ros-
well for twenty7four years. They
have a family of five children, two
boys and three girls. Mr.. Bond has
made a business success here and
that fact thai himself and estimable
family are going to leave will cause
general regret among a large circle of
friends.

TAFT TO
SOLDIERS

Gettysburg, Pa, May 31.-The mem
ory OF the enlisted men of the U. S
army who fought in the Gettysburg
campaign of 1863 was perpetuated in
granite on the famous battlefield to-
day, when the monument erected by
act of congress, was unveiled in the
shaft is one of the most conspicuous
on the field and stands close to the
'fbloody angle" where the hottest act
ion occurred.
a great crowd met Taft, who arriv-
ed after an all nights ride from
Pitlsburg The President delivered an
oration and immediately afterwards
Miss Helen Taft, a daughter of the
President, unveiled the monument.
Following the ceremonies the Pres
fdent reviewed the troops. Miss Taft
and the other members of the Presi
Dental party were the guests of Miss
Lomax, daughter Of General Lomax
the Confederate member of the Get
tysburg National Park Commission.
The monument to commemorate the
services of the regular army unveiled
today, is situated on Hancock avenue,
q little south of the Bloody Angle
where Pickett's men struck the Union
line with such fearful results to the
invading army. The shaft is IS feet
high, and is made from light granite
from North Carolina. On the east side
is a large bronze panel, carrying leg
ends concerning the soldiers who
fought and fell
The President made the following
address at the dedication of the mon
unent:
The Presidents Address.
I'VE are gathered on this historic
spot to dedicate a monument to the
memory of the officers and the enlist
ed men who gave their lives for their
country during the three days battle.
This is a tardy recognition of a nations
debt to the brave defenders whose al
legiance was purely to the nation, with
out local color to strengthen local
pride. The dangers of the standing ar
my entertained by our ancestors is
seen in constitutional restrictions and
in the complaints registered in the
Declaration of Independence. 1t has
always been easy to awaken that pref
udice against the possession Of a reg
ular army and professional soldfery.
This has led to a varied and changea-
ble policy in respect to the regular ar
my. In 1874 only 80 men of the regular
army of $4,000 men had survived the
Civil War. We owe the opening up OF
