ON THE LIFE OF LEE,
Address of Rev. N. W. P. Bacon
Jan. 10, u. D. C's.

The following is the address de-
livered by Bev. N. W. 2. Bacon on
January l9 on the life and character
of Gen. Robert E. Lee. 1t is published
by request of United Daughters OF the
Confederacy of Grenada:
At the village OF Appomattox in the
grand old commonwealth nf Virginia
on the 9th day of April, 1865, there
came to an end one OF the mightiest
conflicts ever waged by man, the
bloodieSJ war that stains the pages Of
human history, and the most stub
bornly contested issue ever settled by
the arbitrament of the sword. No
wonder that shock Of arms shook a
continent, no wonder the noise OF
that conflict sounded around the
world. No wonder distant nations
looked in mute amazement upon that
scene of blood and carnage, for a race
of men whose ensign had never gone
down in defeat, whose flag had never
been lowered to any other race, had
now turned upon each other and were
now at each others throat in duel
to the death." On the 9th day Of
January, 1907, in Westmoreland
county, Virginia, the hero OF that
bloody drama, that sanguinary
tragedy, was born. Ate O'Clock on
the morning Of October the 18th,
1870, the light Of that life went out.
To me you have assigned the task OF
giving expression to your undiminish-
| ed appreciation and unfailing affec-

tinn for this hero Of cause which
the fates decreed could not succeed. I
said task, and task it is, for to whom
shall this lofty character be likened
and with what man shall he be com-
plred? Shall we compare him with
the iluStri0uS son Of Phillip whose
imperi0uS spirit humbled a world:
Why he possessed all the military gen
uS of the Macedonian conQuerroF
without even one Of his vices. Shall
We conplre him with Hannibal? Why
in the bosom Of that illuStriouS Car
thagenian general there burned a
hatred as relentless as fate, as i'm
placab as death and as furious as
the flames OF hell. Lee was the equal
in tactics and strategy of this invet-
crate foe of the Romans and there
was rever a moment when he would
not have clasred to his bosom again
his brother in blue. Shall we COM
pare him with the ''little Corsican
Corporal" whose genius overcame
italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands
and Hanover; whose greed grasped
opdlu ouu VI uuS0I, W4OSC tllSdUldOkC
love OF conquest seized Egypt and
sought Russia. whose genids made
him Emperor of the French and
whose ambition it was to be the un-
disputed master o: Europe? Why
Napoleon never had a thought beyond
his own ambition and never a motive
that did not concern himself, while
Lees whole career was one of sacSi-
flee and never of SelfiShness. Then
to whom shall he be likened? For
since Napoleon surrendered to the
gloomy rider of the PALE Horse's
upon the shores of his prison hcme up
on st. Helena there has lived no gen
eral that approached the class TO
which this, the kingliest Of the
Cavaliers, belonged. Let me not be
misunderstood. Not for one moment

MANUFACTURES ARE IMPORTANT.
The aggregate in dollars of the manu-
featured articles produced by local in
dustries, shows the passing Of Mankato
into the ranks of manufacturing cities.
Manufacturing institutions now located
here are prospecting in a liberal meas
ure, and establishing beyond question
enterprise may locate here certain of
success. Several new industries have
been added to the list during 1908, ali
OF which have enjoyed their measure
OF prosperity and are beginning the new
year greatly encouraged.
Other strong evidence of Mankato's
growth during 1903 is found in the post
office receipts which show an increase
or nearly fourteen Fer cent. While the
figures are approximate, they will not
vary ten dollars from the, official fig
ures.
Postmaster Veeel furnishes the re-
ceipts of 1907 as follows: Sale Of
stamps, postal cards, envelopes, etc.
and for the newspaper postage and
box rent, 40,38o.23. During the year
1908, revenue from the same sources
amounts to S45,93s.3o, an increase of
$5,55o.o7 or nearly fourteen per cent,
the largest increase in years. This
salary received by the postmas ter.

The wealth of the people of Mankato
is shown by the bank deposits which
reached during 1908, combined total
of S3,50o,0 10000.
The amount of business transacted
during the year is shown by bank re-
ceipts and disbursements amounting to
approximately $4,000, 100000.
FREIGHT AND PASSENGER TRAFFIC.
Further indication of Mankato's COM
mercia prosperity is evidenced in the
fact that more than ten thousand
freight cars were employed in hand
press business of the city has increased
fifteen per cent at a conservative esti-
mate.
Despite the fact that a change in
the system of mileage sales has tended
to reduce the passenger traffic receipts
at local ticket offices, the passenger
ticket receipts on all lines show mater
ia increases during 1908 over the pre-
vious year.
GROWTH, HEALTH, WARRANTED.
And as Mankato has reached the front
among Northwestern cities krc."1 for
their manufactures, it has made even
greater progress as wholesale point
various wholesale concerns show an
average increase of twenty per cent in
the volume of business transacted dur
ing 1908.
That firms in close touch with cond-
tons feel that Mankato is soon to be-
centers, is apparent in many ways.
The growth of Mankato during 1908
not only looms up in magnificent pro-
portions but also augurs we'll for the
future-especialy the near future, and
there is every indication that 1909 in
Mankato will see the advances over
1903 that the year ending shows over
