General Lyons Death.

The charge succeeded in dislodging
the foe and driving him back to the
next ravine, but Lyon fell with a buL
let in his left breast
Nathaniel Lyon was perhaps the
most promising general developed on
the Union side during the first year of
the war. He was born in Connecticut
in 1918. graduated at West Point,
served with distinction in the Semi
mole and Mexican wars, was in the
early troubles in Kansas, where be
wrote vigorous articles for the news
papers, and at the beginning of the
civil war was assigned to Missouri,
where his career became one of In
creasing glory. It is not too much to
say that General Lyon held Missouri
in the Union and sealed the pact with
his blood His will left practically all
his property, $4,000, to the cause of
his country. He died unmarried.
The death of the general did not end
the battle The chief command now
devolved on Major Sturgis. who knew
Lyons plans and continued the fight
on these lines. For half hour longer
the engagement continued, when the
Confederates once more gave way. 1t
was only a hull, however. Suddenly
they reappeared along the entire front
and for the first time began an effec-
tive assault from a battery. The fight
once more became general. the Confed

Springfield and thence to Rolla. The
Confederates admit that they were

and the length Of time consumed was
one OF the hercest in the history OF the

as follows: Union. 223 killed, 721
wounded and 2o2 missing; Confeder-
ates, 517 killed. about 500 woupded and
80 missing. The battle of Wilson's
Greek was even bloodier than that of
Bull Run. for at Bull Run the Union
loss was only 9 per cent of those en-

Renters appear to think the sched-

them. A modest four or five room

HUNTERS IN A QUANDL|A!IRlYI :
over THE GAME LAW
Hunting on Thanksgiving is
Barred

The most disconsolate bunch Of PEG
pie in Americas today are the hunters
the real sportsman who delights at
a day off with gun and dog and who al
ways includes Thanksgiving day as
the star occasion on the shooting cal
endar and one that usually opens up
the quail season here.
But there will be no shooting on the
national holiday this year. Not if the
game wardens know it.
And thereby hangs tie tale of sor-
row for the sportsman, especially those
who have no other holiday upon which
to hunt. He cannot shC2c cartridges
this year on Thanksgiving, as he sees
plainly on consulting the calendar.
Thanksgiving day this month falls
upon the 31st inst, or tbs day before
is ushered in the open season for
shooting quail and doves. There is
difference Of "a hours only, but under
the new state game laws protecting
birds they cannot bekillel before De-
cember 1st-the day after Thanksgiv-
ing.
What can the sportsman do about it,
if anything?
The law is plain, the game warden
OF Sumter and his dozen deputies will
be vigilant, and any Americas gunner,
or other here, who goes after Bob
White" On Thanksgiving Day will be
subject to the penalty Of fifty dollars
fine.

In the vineyard of Christ was he true and

For loved he his nelghbor through woe and

Life's voyage Is ended-no more shall he

No matter how stormy the billOwy sea,
The soul will most surely reach eternity.
Through the gloom of the tomb there comes
bright light
To dlspel the dark shadow of death in it's
night;
IT'S light shining forth in resplendent ray,
And marks but the dawning of Eternitys

1t is inconvenient to drop an issue dur

it occasioned an "over-crowded condition
of our columns which compels us to
postpone number of births and deaths
until next week"
1t has been gratifying this week to
learn from so many chow much we
missed the great paper last Saturday."
Indeed, it would surprise the two or
three high brows down street to learn
how many of their neighbors and towns
men unconsciously confess that IRE do
not know it all" Meanwhile, it is
awfuily good for any town, no matter
how big, that only about B out of each
