The following congratulatory letter
was received by w. p Casey, this city,
from the Southern Express Company, in
recognition Of his long and loyal service
to that company for continuous period
Of twenty-five years. Mr.. Casey was
employed by the company twenty five
years ago ending Oct. is, last Sunday,
and during that time has lost only fifteen
days. We reproduce the letter below,
and in doing so take the privilege OF
mentioning the fact that, in addition to
his own constant and faithful service,
marked with efficiency as well as fidelity
to the company's interests, be has
trained some OF the best men IN office
and railroad work. The young men
who were trained 10 the Office of the
company here under Mr.. Casey have
filled more important positions and
given more general satisfaction than
probably from the great majority OF
express offices. Mr.. Casey's service to
the company, therefore, has been OF
double value, and it is due to these
things that the following letter is in
spired:
My Dear Mr.. Casey: That you have
Just rounded out twenty-five years Of
continual service, with loss Of only
fifteen days time during that period,

you should feel proud. 1t is record
OF which few can boast, and 1t Is grati-
iying to me 10 be able TO say to you
that the management deeply appreci-
ates your loyalty. There have been
many ups and downs il The business,
but you have stood By your post, and
have honored yourself and the COM

Baltimore, March 17.-With a new
nose, made from one of his ribs.
strapped to his face, which was de-
nuded of features in a sawmill ac-
cident three years ago, Ross Allen, ii
young Canadian, is recovering from
a remarkable operation at a hospital
here.
1t was the most important of a
series of skin gratis which have
given back to him new lips and a
new nose covered with skin taken
from the mans forehead. This last
operation was completed a wee,: ago
and is considered success.

ASHLEY CANDIDATE
FOR STATE SENATE.

Anderson, March 1.-THE Daily
lntelligencer today says:
Hello, my boy. Yes, this is your
Uncle Josh. But tell the folks that
nd your paper that 1 am in favor
teaching colored children. It's a
shame, and men what is in favor of
that kind of teaching are not much
better than the negro HIMSELF
That is the phone message receiv-
ed from Citizen Josh w. Ashley
Monday morning. "Yes," he conclud-
ed, "The people have been after me
so that l decided to run for the
State senate. And you can just tell
them, my good brother, that your
Uncle Josh will clean 'em up in the
race"
This announcement from Citizen
Ashley will no doubt be a surprise,
for it had been thought that on ac-
count of his health he would not be
| able to make the race. The candi-
Gray and j. A. Hall, members of the
house of representatives, and the
names of DR.. w. A. Tripp, of Brushy

and Sam w. Wolfe have been heard
mentioned in the same connection.
Anderson county has had sena-
tor who has been admired and re-
spected by the people of the whole

The flag of the Pea Ridge Volun-
teers was placed in the relic room of
the Union Carnegie Public library
in Jan. 1904, when A. F. McKissick,
of Greenwood, wrote Mrs. B. G.. Cliff
ford, president of the William Wal
lace Chapter U. D. c.: "My brother
Ed. in some way got possession of
the old battle flag of the Pea Ridge
Volunteers, which he was under the
impression was covering our Uncle
Eds body when brought from Seven
Pines and we, that is my mother and
myself, have about come to the con-
clusion to let you have it as we feel
that it really belongs to Union"
The flag arrived in Union Just in
time for the celebration of Lees
birthday and was placed on the stage
of the opera house for that occasion
when a number of Crosses of Honor
were presented to veterans.
Some of the old citizens of Union
remembered that Lieut.. Ed. j. Nc
Kissick of the Pea Ridge Volunteers
and Miss Kate Lindsay, of Uniof,
county, were sweethearts in the old
days and that Miss Lindsay did the
sewing that was done on the flag.
In later years Miss Kate Lindsay
became Mrs. Thos. McNally and in
memory of the two young lovers of
the '6Os, her son, Thos. McNally,

stood beside the flag and sang "Just
Before the Battle, Mother," and then
Mr.. j. l.. Strain made ringing
speech and put the flag into the hands
of the William Wallace Chapter U.
d. c., and Camp Giles as sacred
trust from the widow and son of one
of Unions gallant soldiers, Col. l. G..
McKissick.
This flag was one of his sons, Ed.
+. McKissick, most valued possess
sions and it is now treasured as one
of the most sacred trusts of Union
county. w. 7. Davis, it is said, was
color bearer, first for the company
and later for the regiment.
| Conclusion: We feel sure the fore
going article, although quite lengthy,
will have warm welcome from the
people of Union county, especially
from all those true sons and daugh-
ters of our county and of our State
whose hearts are true and whose
minds are high; who place honor and
true worth above all worldly gain
and who delight to honor the memory
of our worthy dead.
And here be it said that there is
a noble woman, one left US, who
should be given high seat of honor
by the people of this city and this
county, Mrs. B. G. Clifford, through
whose interest, patriotism and schol-
arly attainments many hearts have
been inspired to noble endeavor. She
with the cooperation of her husband
the late DR.. B. G. Clifford, has been
unfailing in her efforts to perpetuate
the memory of the worthy men of a
past generation. The Confederate
monument which graces our main
thoroughfare here is largely the re-
suit of her unconquerable energy
She has been a leading spirit in the
VIM. Wallace Chapter, U. D. C.'s, she
has trained the heart and brain of
scores and scores of young women, in
spring them with a love for the
Lost Cause" and with an abiding
reverence for the great men of that
wonderful period of our history. The
people of Union county owe a debt to
this godly woman that they can never
repay. She should be crowned as
queen among our women, for she has
wrought faithfully, through a long
period and with sublime unselfish-
ness to elevate our people, and to
kindle in their hearts a fire of un-
quenchable devotion to our history
and of undying loyalty to truth, honor
and righteousness.
