death of the noted old soldier was
meagre as received here. Pit Wash
ington proper is isolated from tele-
graph lines. and It was not possible TO
get fun information regarding hts de-
mise.
Gen. Miller was an uncle of Mrs. G.
w Hagerman, of this city, and has
often visited here. AS often as he
came, a cordial welcome awaited and
was extended him. He was veteran
of the civil war, and was one of the
few remaining soldiers who took part
in the Mexican war. In fact during
the days of 1S61-'65, he was one OF
the foremost men of the state. AT
the engagement at Natural Bridge,
near Tallahassee, he led the south
erners to victory.
Although in feeble health, he re-
eponded to the call Of the people IN
his district some years ago, and rep
resented Washington and Calhoun
counties in the state senate. Recent
", however, his health began to fail
fast, and II was not surprising 20
those who knew of his condition TO
receive the information of his death.

What az amazing difference there
is between our home Independence
Day celebrations this year and that
never to be forgotten day 1873 years
ago. Now we are comfortable, at
peace with the world, with no danger
of a foreign soldiery driving us from
home and destroying all We have.
Those who, waiting in their homes
July 4, 1776, heard the triumphant
boom of independence Bell, knew the
signal Of approaching homelessness
and privation for many Of them was
sounding. They had comfortable
homes in what many persons were
pleased 70 call the struggling colo
Mes" just as comfortable to their
occupants as ours r to us. 1t was
harder to make a home then than
now, and to be obliged to give one
up was, therefore, the greater sac
rifce.
From the very beginning of things
in these United States the home has
been the bulwark of the Nation. 9th
er things have been called by that
name, but the home is really the bull
wark that has kept overwhelming
waves of disaster from coming
aboard the good Ship of State. His
torians only tell of formal actions and
incidents, and other matters connect
ing them. If, however, we lift the
curtain and look at the many facts
all unwittingly hidden, then we be-
gin to appreciate the American home,
to understand why it Is an integral
feature of Independence Day.
