Know tho History Of the National
Flag.
The American colonists during
their early troubles with Great Bri.
tain were very anxious to remain
Englishmen and could not even for a
long time after the outbreak OF the
Revolution accept the idea Of a COM
plete separation from the mother
country. So the first form Of our ma
tional flag displayed thirteen red and
white stripes, representing the thir-
teen original colonies, and the Union
Jack, representing England. This
flag was used at Cambridge. Jan.
l. 1916.
When the colonists at last realized
that there was no longer possibili-
ty of maintaining their bond with
England 1t became Necessary to have
a new flag representing American in
dependence.
In June, 1776, 1t was uno1flcially de-
cided by Congress and Gen. George
Washington to replace the British
Union Jack by thirteen stars-one
for each state. 1t is thought that
Washington designed this flag. It is
certain that he was one of the com.
mittee who gave the order for the
first flag. This order was given to
Betsy Ross, a seamstress, in Phila.
delphia. and at her suggestion, the
six-pointed star originally selected
was changed to the more pleasing
flve-pointed star. This star can be
cut with one clip of the scissors.
The first American flag had thir-
teen white stars arranged in a circle
on blue field. It was used for q
year before being officially accepted
, by Congress, June IA, 1777.
The first change in the flag was
| the addition Of two new stripes and
, two new stars for Vermont and Ken.
| lucky in 1895, and although Louisiana
and Ohio were added to the Union
! there was no further alteration made
in the flag for nearly a quarter of q
century. The stars were generally
arranged in three lines of fives
Finally. on April 4, 1878, it was or
dered that the fifteen stripes be re
duced to the original mum Der thir
! teen, in memory OF the original thir
| teen states. and that star be added

the contract to the Engineering and

ter the rejection Of the bids of Bryan

the board Of bond trustees, said in a

bids and also voted for the award
Of the contract to the Engineering
and Paving Company of Jacksonville,
with having taken their place with
the bidders and not with the county's
interests and that to all appearances
they represented the bidders and not
the county by throwing out the low
and by taking the higher bid.
There was also the plain statement
by Mr.. Gamble that the board was
picking technicalities to throw out
the low bid, all Of which was to cost
the county money instead Of saving
1t money. The speaker also paid
his respects to the county engineer
as to the manner and general pro
cedure of the tests Of the bricks
which had been conducted by the
engineer.
On the basis Of using concrete
curbing Bryan & Co. were $4,000 less
on the entire contract but $1,000 high

was the Engineering and Paving
Company Of Jacksonville.

OLD Sores
DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom Of an old sore sug-
gests diseased blood. The inhamma-
ton. discharge, disco1ored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing
the ulcer, shows that deep down in
the system there is a morbid cause for
the sore. But more convincing proof
that bad blood is the cause for these
places is furnished by the fact that
even removing the sore or ulcer by
surgical operation does not cure; they
always return. Nature will heal any
sore if the blood is pure aud healthy,
but until the circulation is cleansed
of all impure matter and supplied
with nourishing and plasmic qualities
the infected condition of flesh Is
OBLIGED to remain. s. S. heals
