The Battle Hymn.
MINNEAPOLIS journal.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic
was but one incident in the long and
useful life OF Julia Ward Howe, and
go spontaneous was it's creation, so
effortless. that she herself seems to
have been unaware of It's peculiarly
great quality. For it was not born OF
travail but sprang IN O moment IKE
PaIlas from the brain OF love.
Yet the hymn as a result may be
considered as an end of long chatn OF
causes, reaching back into Puritan
times and running thru two centuries
and half Of New England. Only
daughter of the Puritans could nave
written it. only one in whose veins
coursed the blood Of Roundheads ana
Ironsides. in whose brain burned the
moral exaltation Of the free and nu-
manitarian New England.
1t is terrible and beautiful and love-
ly. 1t echoes Marston Moor and Nase-
by: It reverberates with the thunder
of the surge OF Plymouth Rock; 1t is
mystical and Jealous and inspired; ana
it is noble, more noble than any war
song that ever was sung in all the
world. Compared With il The Mar
seillaise'' is secular and "The Watch on
the Rhine patriotic sentiment
What it needs is to be set TO a music
as great as are its lines. II ever IT be
fortunate enough to be set to such
music it ought to be the chant of mill
lion voices and it's power greater than
the volleys Of cannon.
Two supreme utterances have been
insured by the civil war. Lincoln's me-
mortal address at Gettysburg and this
hyrnn of Julia Ward Howe.

Looker-On In Iona

Tama. Oct 25-The town Of Hamp-
ton. long noted for fine residences, well
kept lawns, and general prosperous
conditions. in addition to paving the
business streets during the past year.
has made an Improvement for the gen.
eral good by putting substantial six
foot cement walk diagonally across
the park running to the four corners.
And as result of boys society CIV
ing public entertainments an $3.50
bronze fountain now is in place in the
center of an octagonal cement water
basin. Franklin county only a few
years ago built 100000 court house
which is surrounded by well kept
lawn. shade trees and cement walk, and
the park and fountain join in the next
block. All which cost some money, but
no better investment is ever made than
making town attractive both for resi-
dents and strangers.
Hampton needs one more public i'm
provement and that is modern hotel
building. Visitors find good entertain
ment in the present hotel, but a hotel
upstairs built over % years go is not
in keeping with the other late improve
ments Of the town.
A drive last week from Swaledale to
Rockwell, showed a complete illustra-

and nonsensical manner of spending
the taxpayers money. This .<,much
travelled level road would be a good one
in dry season, if no work was done
and last week it was worse than a
travelled path across an open prairie.
Somebody evidently had the road plow-
ed each side, then put scrapers at
work and banked up sod dirt and dry
grass till it was supposed to be round
ing and then left it for the teams to
level and smooth it by travel over it.
The result is teams travel on one side
or in the gutter, and even then there
are stretches Of "hummocky" places
where a team can not be driven faster
than a walk. And TO further show that
the old style read making is still in
vogue. alone On one side Of the road
are stretches Of plowed ground that
have not been touched since somebody
worked out his taxes by blowing eight
or ten burrows and then left Il for tho
weeds to grow higher than q mans

will take care Of itself and produce

to take from the tree whatever was

BEAUTY OF LEAFLEss TREES.
[Cedar Rapids publican.]

There isn't much left of the aut-

October even the remnants of the fol-
age have beauty of their own. The
last leaf on the tree has both pathos
and beauty on H. Go and look at it

but is not less. But you must look az
things with the right eyes in the right
spirit or you will miss that beauty.
Note the delicate traceries OF the elms
against the blue sky. whether by night
or by day. When the leaves are all
off one is permitted to see the very
bones and sinews Of the forests. A tree
with It's leaves on is simply tree with
its working clothes on, after ALL But

true grandeur of the forest revealed. If

same conclusion.
In short, there Is no time and no
mood of nature that is not invigorat-
ing to the body and inspiring to the
mind. The woods and the fields are
merely succession of beautiful things
no matter whether the ground is green
with grass or white with snow or bare
and brown and bleak-nature is always
beautiful.

OLD TIMES IN CARROLL COUNTY.
Manning Monitorl

Manning Monitor1
Vic Schwaller had group Of his
friends about him Yesterday while in
town and was telling them Of this COM
munlty thirty-four years ago. Houses
were few and far between those days.
Cattle ranged undisturbed where the
town Of Manning now stands. Jewel
Gardner was the name Of the man who
owned most Of the cattle in this neigh
borhood Prairie chickens were SO
plentiful that with an old musket one
could soon fill his game bag.
In the winter time the young men
trapped muskrats and mink and occas-
ional1y caught a wolf Badgers were
numerous. Vic told how he was near
1y scared to death one night as he was
coming home from counting his best
girl. He was passing thru a wheat
field when he was attacked by a bad
ger. A we'll directed kick put the bad
ger out Of commission. In those days
the men often gathered for miles to
play ball, wrestle and box Often q key
OF beer was the stake and the audience
had chance to drink after the players
had enough. Sometimes q tug Of war
would be pulled off, the contestants be-
ing placed on each side Of the creek
II the losers gave up each had to pay
ten cents. At times those pulling
would go into the creek rather than
pay the forfeit. vic's parents lived
then near Roselle and when they want
ted to go to Carroll they drove directly
towards Carroll, as no roads were laid
out there. Land sold for 81 or IS an
acre. but II one didn't have the - or 81
it was hard to get the land.
The price Of everything q man had
to sell was very low and tho people
raised nearly everything they ate.
About thirty years ago, he told his lis
teners. how q young man caane south
OF Templeton and began the practice
Of medicine. Often when heavy snow
fell this young man would make trip
Of ten or fifteen miles on foot. In these
days everybody seemed happy and
were just as well off as they are TO-DAY
In fact, he told. many people then wer>
far more happy than they are today.

Marietta was visited by an electrical
storm Of unusual severity Friday after
noon at two o'clock, and was followed
by very hard rain.
Olanviile Methodist church, a mile
and half east of town, was struck by
bolt of lightning, and was very con-
siderably damaged. A hole about ten
feet lorg more than three feet
wide was knocked in the roof. The

were other minor items of damage. 1t
Is estimated hundred dollars will be
required co repair the building.
The familiesof Mr.. James F. Barmore
and Mr.. Martin, living on adjoining
property, were severely shocked. An
infant of Mr.. Martin was thought for
quite while to have been killed, and
this created intense excitement in the
neighborhood The child, however,
escaped without harm, other than the
shock received by all in the house.
The church officers have gone to work
to have the damage repaired, and pro-
pose to have it finished in time for

CHEMISTS
REPORT ON WATER.
Georgia Official Gives An
alysis of the Water of
New System.

The water board promises the
people of Marietta as fine drinking
water, as clear and as pure as ever
flowed from a mountain side. This
water, coming from a depth of
nearly three hundred feet, cannot
by any possible means become con-
taminated; for under the plan of the
Board, it will not at any time be
exposed to atmospheric conditions,
being conveyed from the deep we'll
to the closed standpipe, and from
there directly to the consumer.
DR.. S. D.. Rambo sent several
gallons of the water to DR.. H. F.
Harris, secretary of the state board
of health, who submitted it to State
Chemist Everhardt and also to the
analyst for the State board of health,
Ray c. Werner.
These gentlemen, after thorough
analyses of the water say it is first
class for drinking purposes. The
analysis in detail is as follows:-

A NEW RAILROAD
PROJECTED FOR CITY
Committee of Carroll Citi-
zens Visit Marietta to
Further Enterprise.

The city was visited Tuesday by a
delegation of Carrollton citizens for
the purpose of interesting our people
in the construction of railroad from
that place to Marietta
These are some of the leading CAPT.
talist and business men of the enter
prising and hustling capital of Carroll
county, and they feel the new road is
a sure thing.
The visiting committee consisted of
Mr.. G. H. Stewart, Mr.. G. M. Tanner.
Mr.. G. B. Simonton, Mr.. A K Snead
and Mr.. G. E. Reup.
The city of Carrollton has subscribed
fifty thousand dollars, and it is desired
that Villa Rica, Powder Springs and
Marietta raise fifty thousand. 1t is
said, with this one hundred thousand
dollars subscribed, the road is a GER
tainty.
The business men and citizens of
Carrollton feel like they are bottled up
by the Central, and it is to relieve this
situation, they say, that they are so
much in earnest in this new project.
The matter will be submitted to the
new chamber of commerce at the next
regular meeting and it is believed that
organization will undertake to further
the enterprise.
