Home! There is no word more
precious than home. 1t stands for
everything loyable and loving. 1t

than mere roof-tree, where the mem

II stands for the family, that sacred
pillar on which rests the unity and
integrity of the state. To interfere
with it is to interfere with the state
for the state cannot exist without 1t.
The mother makes the home She
is it's mistress and its queen; the
hearth on which glow the blazing love
fires around which all the family
gather for warmth Home belongs to
the mother. II may be mud hut or

THE UNITED ARMY NEVER

western parts of Virginia. The vic
tory of this army at Hill Springs was
the first of the war at which q matur-
ed plan was completely and success

while at Missionary Ridge the victory
of this army was one of the most
stupendous feats of the war. Chica-

the Army of the Cumberland, IN its

sion of the Mississippi, joined in the
