A Feeling of Confidence.

A month from this time con-

month from now the people of
NewM Mexico will know what Pres
ident Taft has recommended to
congress in the matter OF state
hood for the territories. Since
the President gave the citizens of
New Mexico and Arizona his
views on what sort of constitu-

would-be states there has not
been such a feeling of confidence
that the territories would be ad-

/" The Flag at Cedar Creek !"
A New War Ballard by the Rev. Dr. Henry c. McCook

The general galloped by.
Our men leaped to their feet anc

One hand on bride rein,
One hand to visor in salute,
While general, staff and train
Swept on, with a rolling cloud o.

A-following on the plain.
They halted where l stood on the
right
Of the line; and then we knew
Our time was near, and we should
The work we had to do.

A rebel flag? We looked away
To hump on the hillside, where
A patch of color dimly showed
Through the powder laden air,

this country is more prosperous
than ever before. The output of

)er was larger than in any pre-
Iious month, and the volume of
,ales was also greater than ever
,efore. The production of pig
ron during the month exceeded

md amounted to a rate per an

There had just been printed by
the pupils of the Philadelphia
trade schools a "ballad of the
War of the Union," written by
the Rev. DR.. Henry c. McCook,
the well-known Presbyterian
clergyman and author, who was
an army chaplain during the
war.
There are several interesting
incidents connected with poem.
In the first place, the last time
General Philip Sheridan told of
the battle was few months be-
fore his death, when after dinner
in Washington, he recounted the
incidents of the fight to DR.. Nc
Cook and his brother, General
Anson G. McCook of New York,
and to Judge George c. Gray of
Delaware.
The ballad follows:
THE FLAG OF CEDAR CREEK.
Twas at Cedar Greek, and the
fight was on,
And our whole battalion lay
Awaiting word from Sheridan

patience had ceased to be virtue

in his place elected one OF their

Heney during his incumbency OF

have been sufficient to justify the
the conclusion that he was in
competent. This is putting the

And bitter will be the fray:
And many a gallant soul win look
His last on earth today" -
Yet, when the bugle sounded
charge!
And we gave our horses rein,
And the sharp spur sang in the
heaving flank,
And the frenzied rush began,
A cheer rose high to the benging
sky,
For the great suspense was
DER!
'Tis a weary wait at the gate of
fate,
But lightsome dash though
the door!
"But the fag''-yeu ask-"did
you get the flag
Of Early upon the hill?"
When the day was done, and the
field was won,
They took it to Little Phil,
But I-do you see this empty
sleeve?
'Tis a souvenir of that fight,
And a hospital cot was my
weary lot
For many a day and night.
Never a Drawer soldier breathed
Than the gallant lad in gray,
Who led the band that kept their
flag
In the focus of that fray.
He hewed my arm as | grasped
the flag;
And / left him there for dead.
With so fell a stroke that my
saber broke
On the fair young hero's head.
At a late reunion, July Fourth,
Of veterans, blue and gray;
I marched with a tall Virginian
From somewhere Winchester
way;
l spoke of the battle of Cedar
Hill,
And he said, 81 was with you
therel"
He DOTTED his hat, and his grizzled
head
Was scored with a mighty scar.
THAT cavalry charge ofthe Key
stone men
Was fearsome sight" said he
"Up-on they swept, and over
our line
Like the break ofan angry sea.
/ rallied my men to the regiment
flag
And we fought till we all went
down,
Myself with a stroke that almost
broke
An opening into my crown.
"Your hand!" l cried. 'Iet me
clasp your hand!
1t was who struck that blow!
And l always counted you as
dead,
Thank heaven it is not so!
You bettered the blow; for the
good left arm
That seized the flag that day,
Was near cut through by your
vicious hew,
And the surgeon cut it away"
Then side by side through the
capital streets
We marched together, we two;
No foes were we though in gray
marched he.
And l in the army blue.
One flag was floating over us
both,
The flag that our father bore!
And here we stand one heart one
hand,
One country eyermOre!

NO COMMISSIONER
APPOINTED YET
SUPERVISORS PUT THE MATTER OVER
FOR ANOTHER MONTH
SETTLED WITH coMM'R loN6
J. A. Dresser Chosen to Audit the Book,
Of the Clerk and Tressuier-Meet
Again January 10.

The meeting Of the county hoard OF
supervisors held last Saturday was not
very important one as only routine
matters were up for consideration.
Chairman Richards was absent 90
Supervisor Jobe was chosen to preside
At the meeting.
The various claims that had accumu'
lated during the month were audited
and allowed.
Tne-claim OF Ex.Commissioner James
Long was taken up and thoroughly
discussed. The supervisors were a unit
in wishing to do what was right by
Mr. Long and every phase of the mat
Ter was discussed thoroughly by the
full board. IL was finally concluded
that as the board had no evidence that
Mr.. Long had been notified that the
board wished him to desist in his work
az foreman, and as the board had on a
former occasion allowed him Si0O per
month for his services. ne had rea'
son 10 think that the arrangement was
satisfactory TO the board and thus had
a legal claim 10 the amount demanded
On that basis of reasoning the time ne
served was figured mp and he was paid
at the rate OF 500 per month. Mr..
Long drew 500 In July which made
his compensation total the sun OF 1926
The matter OF allowing the other
commissioners, Messrs. VIM. Holmes
and w. H. Jobe some compensation for
the time that they had put in was then
discussed. Mr.. Holmes in particular,
had devoted great deal OF his time to
the county roads. In fact he spent
nearly as much time on them as Mr..
Long did bat had asked nothing and
expected nothing more than enough to
cover his actual expenses Mr.. Jobe
also asked nothing for his work but
the board thought II no more than
right that they should be paid some
thing and Supervisor Scott moved that
the other two commissioners. Holmes
and Jobe. be given the SUN OF F}25
each as compensation for their year s
services. The motion carried unan.
imously.
The matter of filling the vacancy ON
the commission was talked over little
but the board finally decided 10 wait
until next year before picking man.
The clerk was instructed to notify
J. A. Dresser to be on hand January
TO audit the books OF Ithe clerk and
treasurer.
The board then adjourned until Jan
nary 10 when II will meet TO listen TO
Mr. Dressers report.
