Of Interest to Old Soldiers.

Any old Union soldier or sailor who served hinty days or longer in the late war of the rebellion, and who went West after the war and made a homestead entry in any state in the Union tor either forty, eighty or one hundred and twenty acres before June p. 1874, has claim coming to him from the government
 It does not make any difference whether he proved up on his home stead entry or simply left it.
 There were thousands of old soldiers who went to Kansas and Nebraska after the war and took up eighty acre homesteads, and when the grasshop- pers and hot winds came along simply left their entries and went back Ea st. Each of these men have claims.
 Under a supreme court decision these claims are assignab b!e. Fen s. Hil- dreth. of Phoenix, Arizona, perfects the title to these claims and will pay the highest market price for same.
 If the old soldier Is dead the widow or her heirs can sell their right
 If soldier never made an entry he has nothing to osell.-Guardian.

Destroyed by fire.

While crossing a sorry Holmes county
bridge about IS miles from Greenwood,
en- route to Lexington, last Saturday
evening, the magnificent White Steamer
Auto Of Mr.. Sam Montgomery was acct
dentally destroyed by fire.
Just as the car was approaching the
far end Of the bridge a loose plank few
up, striking q tube connected with the
gasoline tank, producing an explosion
and almost instantly the whole machine
was enveloped in flames, burning up
everything except the iron in the ma.
chine within a few minutes.
Messrs. Montgomery and Mcleod
were in tho car but fortunately leaped
out barely in time to escape being burn
ed to death--Mr. Montgomery having
his hair and eyebrows slightly sinzed
and receiving a few bruises from the
fall. He had the presence Of mini to
reverse the throttle and the machine
stopped within a few feet after leaving
the bridge, where it burned up.

the party, all of which was burned. The
gasoline gave out in the oth.r machine
and the progress of the trip was at a
standstill. The young men had to spend
the night at a negro farm house with
nothing to eat. Early next morning
they sent to Black Hawk and got sufl-
cient gasoline to resume the journey
and return home safely.

plete cost $4,000 {, and he had it insur-
ed for $4,000. 90.

TWO HAPPY KIDS ON EASTER MORNING.
Song of the Resurrection Morn
(After Richard LIE Gallienne.)

AWAKE, fond heart, and sing an Easter songl
II To the sweet anthem Of returning bird
And swelling bud and pale ascending blade
Add the last word.
Drear was the winter and the waiting long,
Heart, there were hours, indeed, thou vert afraid.
So long the spring delayed.
AWAKE, fond heart, and go thou forth and singh
a Unite thy voice to all this music sweet
Of opening leaf and busy, building wing
And falling showers;
The mumur soft Of little lives newborn,
The armies Of the grass, the myriad feet
OF marching flowers,
CHUT in the winters alabaster tomb,
So white and still the sleeping summer lay
That dead she seemed,
And none might know how in her magic side
Slept the young spring and moved and smiled
and dreamed.
Behold, she wakes again and, open eyed,
Gazes, in wonder, round the leafy room
AT the young flowers. Upon this Easter day
Awaken, too, my heart, open thine eyes,
And from thy seeming death thou, too, arise.
LOW softly blows the resurrection horn
Across the meadows, over the far hillsl
In the souls garden a new sweetness stns,
And the heart fills,
And in and out the mind flow the soft airs.
Awake, fond heart, and sing this Easter nom!
In the years resurrection do thy part.
Awake, fond heart!
