A Marrow ESCAPE.

Two little girls crossing Main street
on Court street last Wednesday morn.
ing narrowly escaped serious injury
or death by being run over by an
automo bile. The little girls were
walking very leizurely looking with
their eyes turned to the South
when an automobile from the North
noislessly approached them. They
did not see it until the machine was
within ten feet of them. Fortunately
it was running very slowly and was
stopped when almost against one OF
the girls.
Had it been running as rapidly as
automobiles are usually run on Main
street, it would have been impossible
to have prevented a serious accident.
A man with q cheap machine can
raise more dust than half dozen good
automobiles travelling at reasonable
rate.

Gettysbdrd.

There are assembled at Gettysburg
90, GOO veterans from the North and tn
South to celebrate the 50th anniver
sary OF the greatest battle OF modern
times. It is in no sense the celebra
ton Of . great victory. For thre'
days the battle ragged with varying
success. The losses OF both armies
amounted to nearly ffty thousand
men. Men barred their breasts will
heroic valor to the storm Of shell and
shrapnel, grape and canister ant
millions OF musket balls, and bled ant
/ died In order to establish what they
considered principle Of government
On the Northern side they were taught
, to believe that they we're fighting fol
the preservation of the Union, while
the Southerners fought for the preser'
walton Of the liberty guaranteed them
by the constitution. The war decided
nothing but the superiority Of ms
terial. No cause was lost as many
were prone to believe, and today, a
half century later, the principles for
which the South fought have been
recognized as right, and peace pre-
walls among the oontending hosts.
The celebration at Gettysburg today
marks the prevalence of peace. Those
who met on that field as enemies fifty
years ago now clasp hands as friends
beneath the flag of q reunited country.
While the masses on one side were
fighting for the preservation Of the
Union, those on the other side were
fighting for the preservation Of the
principles of the Constitution Of the
United States. One of the features ofthe
celebration was the declaration, with
out contradiction, that ths Southern
ers were as much entitled to pensions
as the Northern soldiers. Should the
government determine to do justice to
the Southern soldiers, It would be the
first time in the history of the world
when a government rewarded the sur
viyors of both sides of contending
armies. The war cave to the world
examples of the highest generalship
and of the most heroic valor and en-
durance of American soldiers.
AS every bone of contention has been
removed and sectionalism and the
"bloody shirt" deeply buried, may
we not expect season of great pros
perity under q reunited country
