an equal show for reward in the life
that is to come.
Grandfather was an honest man not
only in his dealing with his neighhors
and friends, but in the broader sense
of harmony with all about him. Such
a man costs the state nothing nor adds
a burden of public concern.
They require no jails, criminal
courts, or penitentiaries for such men.
Such men make a state and maintain
it. Their shoulders bear the public
burdens and their honest convictions
maintain the worthy institutions.
When one of these good citizens is
gathered to his fathers, the community
where he lives suffers great loss. Not
the loss meant in the business world,
that is sordid loss, or loss of dol
lars and cents. but loss of greater
value than gold. A loss, of honest ex-
ample, upright living. peaceful walking
and loss of friendly, sincere affection
for all about him.
In memory of grandfather pay this
poor tribute of merit. His long life is
ended and after all its struggle he
sleeps well-Mrs. J. C. Heckart.

strokes of the whips-we see the
hounds tracking women through
tangled swamps. We see the babies
sold from the breast of mothers.
Cruelty unspeakable! Outrage in

Four million hodies in chains :
four million souls in letters. All the
sacred relations of wife, mother,
father and child trampled beneath
the brutal feet of might. And all
this was done under our beautiful
banner of the free.
The past rises before US. , We
hear the roar and shrek of the

fall. The heroes died. We look.
Instead of slaves We see men and
women and children. The wand of
progress touches the auction block,
the slave pen. the whipping post,
and we see homes and firesides and
school houses and books, and, where
all was want and crime and cruelty
and fear we see the faces Of the
free.
These heroes are dead. They died
for liberty-they died for US. They
are at rest. They sleep in the land
they made free, under the flag they
rendered stainless, under the SOL

fearful willows and embracing
vines. They sleep beneath the
shadows of these clouds, careless of
