BOYKINS. VA. June 20.-There are
y good many signs of progress in our
town at this time.
The residence of DIR. J. NJ. Bland
has been considerably enlarged and
the attractions are so decided that the
building would hardly be recognized as
the same.

Is being established by Mr.. ] p. Wood
ley. of the Columbian Peanut company
of Suffolk. Va
Another enterprise which will mean
a great deal for our section is the
proposed building of an up-to- date road
from Boykfns to Branchville. 1t can
not yet be said that this will be done
but the outlook seems to be very en-
ccuraginE. If built. the road will per-
allel the Seahoard Air Line railway
greatly reducing the distance between
the two towns.

perpetu.ty of the union Of the States.
Vermont was admitted to the union
in 1871 and Kentucky In 1872. 1t
was felt that these two States ought
to be recognized on the flag, so In
1894 congress passed an act making
the flag fifteen stars .and fifteen
stripes.
This remained the flag OF the
United States throughout the war Of
1912 until there were twenty States
In the union. In 1916 an effort was
again made to modify the flag so that
all the new States would be represent
ed on it. To be continually adding
stripes would make the flag very awk-
ward in shape and appearance. so af-
ter arguing the matter for two years
congress decided to return to the
original thirteen stripes and one star
for each State. Congress has never
determined the arrangement OF the
stars nor the shape and proportions OF
the flag and there has been great va
ration, especially in the grouping Of
the stars. There are still many who
believe that the symbolic circular
grouping of stars should be restored.

The American flag is a growth
rather than IA creation. Its history
can be traced back TO the twelfth CEN
tury. or nearly 500 years prior to the
first Flag Day" June IA, 1877.
During the first crusade in 119b,
Pope Urban III assigned to all of the
Christian nations as standards crosses
varying in color and design. emble-
matte of the warfare in which they
were engaged. To the Scotch troops
was assigned the white satire, known
as the white cross of St. Andrew, on
blue field The British used yell
low cross. but o century and q quarter
later they adopted n cross on white
field known as the red cross of st.
George,
When James VI of Scotland as
eended the throne of England as
James l, he combined the two flags
ard issued proclamation requiring
all ships to carry the new flag at their
mainmasts At the same time the
vessels of South Britain were to carry
at their foremasts the red cross of
st. George and the ships of North
Britain TO carry the white cross OF
st. Andrew.
The new flag was known as the
"King's Colors,' the Union Colors,"
or the Great Union" and later as
the Union Jack and was the one
under which the British made all
their permanent settlements in Ameri-
ca. 1t was the flag Of Great Britain
only by proclamation. however; not
until 1907 did parliament pass an acr
definitely uniting the two countries
/ and their flags. In the same year the
/ government issued regulations requir-
ing the navy to use what was known
as the white ensign, the naval re-
serve, the blue ensign, and the mer-
( chant marine. the red ensign. Owing
to tha fact that the British merchant
vessels were everywhere, the colonists
| in America came TO look upon this
red ensign as the flag of Great Brit
ain.
The people in the New England
| colonies were bitterly opposed to the
cross in the flag. In 1896 some of the
| troops in Massachusetts, declined to
march under this flag and the mill
| tary commissioners were forced to de-
4 sign other flags for their troops with
! the cross left out. The design they
/ adopted has not been preserved. In
1862 n mint was established in Bos-
| ton. Money coined in this mint had
| the pine tree stamped on one side OF
| H. The pine tree design was also
used on New England flags, certainly
/ by 1904 and possibly as early as 1886.
! At the outbreak of the Revolution
/ the American colonies had no flag
! common to all OF them In many
cases the merchant marine flag of
England was used with the pine tree
substituted for the union Jack. Mas
