ALEXANDRIA"
When looking for a place 10 live
In this, the Old Dominion state,
Stop in Alexandra friends
tell you. this old town is great.
Two ceutury.s now have passed away
Since Captain Smith, Of early fame,
Sailed to the falls near Washington
From Chesapeake bay and back again.
THIS town Is very rich indeed
In history that is quaint aud old,
From Jones's Point 10 Shooters Hill
A revelation to the soul.
Churches, schoolhouIes and prosperous
banks
And water as pure as the driven snow.
One daily psper, the houored Gazette"
Established by Snowden two centur5s
sgo.
What noble men have walked these st ee 5
And mingled with the passing crowd
George Washington and lafayette
Were men that make nation proud.
Edmund Lee inspires onr hearts.
The words he wrote with mighty pm
First IN wa, first in pc ICE,
First ia the hearts Of his countrymen.
Diuwiddie, Fairfax end Carlyle,
On them our memories love to dwell,
Aud OF er honored nan es there are,
Like Herbert, Ramsay and Hollowell.
Two,nlmes engraved on orr hearts,
Two men like gold. without It's dross-
On memory's plge We re'd the names
of Robert LIE and ~. d. Corse.
Flow on, Potomac river, flow
With cleaning tide toward the bay.
A Ilace that honors Washington
Is good enough for me to stay.
No more tie indians whoop is heard;
The mocking bird sings in the dell.
A town that sheltered Robert Lee
Is good enough for me TO dwell.

rhe neat Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. It stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than II
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts we're proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
lessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Oats in reg
ular size packages, and Theoretically
sealed tins; the latter is best for hot
climates. "a

RIGHT OF TRUSTEES
TO EXCLUDE PUPILS
Is Upheld 10y Judge Lewis i'm Sparts
Case.

Sparta. Ga, October 2.-( (SpecialD ,
"A ruling by Judge Lewis. of the
Ocmulgee circuit, in a recent case in
tancock superior court. is expected
10 have most important bearing on
school government. In his decision
Judge Lewis held that the principal
and trustees OF school may. exclude
any pupil from public school II the
school would be benefited thereby.
, current report being held sufficient
ground for exclusion.
The case being tried was a suIt
Tor damages brought by the father of
ll-year-old boy, who had been ex-
ciuded from the school by the prin-
clpal aud the trustees, upon the
ground that he had negro blood in
ms veins. No effort was made AZ
Ihe trlal 10 prove the charge. the
only steps taken by the defense he
ing 10 show that the report was
widespread and com monty accented
aS true II was claimed that the
Doy mother had negro blood in her
'housh she was nominally OF white
parents, the third child i'm a famiIN,
of eleven. '''''''''
Judge Lewis held that the trus-
ices mad right to exclude punils for
a good and sufficient reason. and in
ms charge to the jury instructed
mem that if the trustees acted hon
estiy and for what they believed the
pest interests of the school. tbev
could not be held liable. even
lhough the truth Of the report could
hot be proven. Judge Lewis further
held that it was a question of good
Ialth on the part OF the princinaI
ana trustees, and they could NOT he
heid liable unless they acted mali
ciously and wantonly.
The jury was out only a short
IiIlle, and came in with a verdict
against the plaintiff.

Leading Men Garry to the Grave
Body of Colored Barber.
J. T. HILL.

The funeral OF Jackson Merry
weather took place yesterday after
noon at o'clock from the Shiloh
Baptist church with military honors.
Although Jackson MVryweather
lived the greater part OF his life in
Scranton. he was first introduced in
90 this city through the under
ground railroad" and so far as his
legal status went. he was a slave
until the moment OF President Lin
coins proclamation abolished slavery
in the United state, and made Mer-
ryweather free man.
The career of Jackson Merry
weather was not romantic. There
was little romance about slavery.
Those who risked their lives in
bringing slaves into the free states
took their lives In their hands and
had no other motives than the manu-
mission OF the scrf from the bondage
OF the Southern slave owner.
After the firing OF the first shot
upon Fort Sumter. President Lincoln
issued his first call for volunteers.
Among those who responded was
Captain II. w. Derby. OF Dunmore
who raised a company In that bor-
ough and in Scranton. These volun-
tecrs enlisted for three months and
were az liberty at the end OF that
time 90 return 20 their homes. If they
thought we'll 20 DO SO.

sMUGGLED 10 SCRANTON.

when the captain and his men
reached that part OF Virginia in
which Mcrryweather was born a
slave. and in which his parents lived
in bondage, he in some way attached
himself 90 Captain Derby and his
men How this came about is not
exactly known. Although Merry
weather told few times of the in
cident 10 his friends Those who
could throw a light on the subject
in all its details have been dead for
years. AT all events. Merryweather
wanted 10 enlist, slave boy as he was
in the captains company, but ne was
little more than q child, a little pick
aninny who drifted into the camp
and who amused the soldiers by his
quaint talk and quainter pranks.
Captain Derby became so attached
TO the little negro, that he deter
mined 20 bring him with him to
Scranton on his return home and he
did so. Struggled him along in a
way now beyond recall.
Landed in Scranton, Captain Der
by took care of the boy until he was
able 10 take care OF himself. In
1865, when President Lincoln made
his last call for volunteers. Merry
weather offered his services as "A SOL
der. He was still very young, too
young in fact to carry a musket, but
he was mustered into a colored regi-
ment, the Twenty-fOurth Virginia
volunteers.
The services over the dead veteran
yesterday afternoon at the Shiloh
Baptist church were very impressive.
A fun complement of the Eza s
Griffin post turned out and accom-
panied the remains IN military order
from the home Of the deceased 10 the
church.
