Mr.. Chairman and Comrades:
As | look into your loving eyes,

gion which burns brightly on the
altars in your hearts. 1t is the
same faith that sustained you as
you scaled Little Round Top and
rolled the pillows of invasive war
against the walls of the startled and
dismayed modern Babylon. 1t is
the same religion, which for four
years and nine months, upheld you
and our cause on an hundred Grim
son battletields; that comforted YOU
in camp and on weary march,
through winters chilling blasts and
summers burning heat. But, com
rades, the day waneth. "The
night draweth nigh when no man
can work" Soon, our sun will
touch, with yermlllion fingers, the
western hills and sink, forever, be-
hind the ramparts of eternity.
Shall it be, that we shall leave be.
hind us Egyptian darkn ess, in the
fields where we held aloft the torch
of truth to defend and enlighten

our sons, "sprung from our loins
and children of our brains" will
prove untrue to their sires and we
have no representatives, in all this
gainsaying world when falsehood
and perversion shall essay to oh

Tended memory with dlshonor?
We are told, in Holy Writ, that

WHITE CITY NOW UP
First Campers Have Arrived
at Chautauqua.

The regular camping period opened
today at the Chautauqua, and a full
sized crowd was on hand to get the
benefit of the first days pleasures.
Nearly all the lots have been reserved
and practically every tent is up. AL
though a few people slept on the
grounds last night most of the cam
pers did not arrive until this morning.
Some anxiety is felt about the arri-
val of BANDS orchestra. This organi-
zation of musicians was to have come
into town early this morning, but at q
late hour no word has been received
from them. The people at headquar-
tiers are still hoping that the band will
get into town for their scheduled con-
cert tonight. Even if they do not
come tonight, the managers state that
the regular entertainment will take
place tomorrow. Many are planning to
take advantage of these concerts, as
no admission is charged.
Whole swarms of yellow-jackets
have been routed from the camp in
the last day or two. 1t was found
that the insects had infested the en-
tire place, but Secretary Myrick be-
lieves that his men have gotten rid of
the whole lot. 1t was reported that
the headquarters tent, which has been
missing for several days, reached town
this morning, and will be in position
before long.

FOX NOW An EDITOR
Judge Decides to Edit His
tory of County.
Editor of Palladium:

Editor Of Palladium:
A short time ago I published card
concerning my connection with a pro-
posed history of Wayne County which
is being promoted. Since then I have
received information which in my
judgment makes 1t proper for me to
make this explanation. In my former
card I stated that l had no knowledge
of the persons who proposed to pub
lish the book, nor of the scope of the
work; that / had agreed to act as ed
itOr-in-chief and inspect and review
the manuscripts that were being pre-
pared; that no manuscripts had been
submitted to me and that for these
and other reasons should take no fur
Their interest in the proposed history.
In publishing this card acted in good
faith in the premises. Since then rep
resentatives of the company propos-
ing to publish the book have called
upon me and given me a detailed ex-
PLANTATION and have furnished me with
the facts and requested me to fully in
vestigate them and satisfy myself as
to their truthfulness. This have done
and this is why / make this explana-
ton l find that the history is being
prepared and will be published by the
Western Historical Association. The
business of this association is to pre-
pare and publish local histories, bus
mess in which they have been engag-
| ed for many years. / am now satisfied
that this association is responsible and
will do what they agree to do. The
work will as they represent consist OF
two handsome volumes. The first vol
ume will be purely historical. This vol
ume will be chiefly written by Profess
sor Lindley, Of Earlham College His
name is sufficient guaranty of what
the quality of this volume will be- The
second volume will consist mainly of
personal biographies and sketches of
persons living and dead who are or
wree residents of the county. There
will be a great number of these
sketches, the preparation of which en-
tails a great amount of work 1t has
been explained 70 me that the reason
why the manuscripts have not been
submitted for my inspection was that
they had not all been completed; that
as soon as they are they will be sub
mitetd to me.
an further explanation l will say
that since my former card was pub
lished I have received information
that many persons who subscribed for
the book were induced to do SO for the
reason that had agreed to act as ed
itor-in-chief. Under the circumstances
and with the knowledge of the facts
as I now have them feel that I in
good faith ought to edit the work as
Originally agreed. This have conclud-
ed to do and will use my best endeav-
ors to make the history deserving
one. Two authorized representatives of
the Association are now in Richmond
and will remain Until the book is COM
plcted. Their headquarters at present
Is No %, South Tenth street, where
they can be seen at all times by those
who desire further information in the
premises. .
