a relic Of the Civil War that
has been loved and cherished by
the Bynun brothers for over 9
half-century, is being prepared to
be sent to Dunbar Rowland, Jack
son, director Of the Archives and
History Of Mississippi. The relic
is the battle flag of the Second
Mississippi Regiment, which, if it
had been gifted with the power to
articulate, could tell a most inter-
esting and thrilling story of the
Civil War.
The flag, though it is torn and
rent by shot and shell, bloodstain-
| ed, etc., has been in the Bynum
family for forty years, and in its
keeping, has been given the very
best Of care.
This flag was supplied by the
Quarter Masters Department on
July 2, 1863, and was courageous
ly borne through shot and shell to
the ramparts Of Little Round Gap,
Gettysburg, on July 3, 1863, and
on the retirement Of Gen. Lee
from Pennsylvania throughout all
the bloody battles of Virginia, un-
til the surrender of the Regiment
on April 2, 1865 at Hatcher S
Run, where N. M. Bynum, deceas-
ed, tore it from the staff, and con-
cealed it under his gray jacket
during the confusion Of the sur
render. 1t was then taken charge
Of by w. H. Byrns, color bearer,
who removed it to Texas, where by
some means it was misplaced but
was found about ten years later
and brought back by Nat Bynum,
who together with G. w. Bynum,
was passing throug h Dallas, Tex
as, and spying it, took possession
of the flag and returned home
with it, where it has been loving
I ly cared for since that time.

Every dollar you send out OF
Corinth fys away with a value
that rightfully belongs to this
community. Spend it at home,
with your home merchant, where
its value stays with you and
helps to build up your interests.
When you come to think OF it,
there are only two kinds Of dol
lars-the "Dollar with Wings
and the Development Dollar. :
The dollar with wings goes to
build the far distant city, the big
metropolis, with it's vice and
crime and low wages and poverty.
The development dollar goes to
build up the home town. 1t helps
build up a nation Of real men and
women. Then, let us make the
dollars we spend Development
Dollars, hometown builders,
building for us and our neighbors
and our children, making our
home town and county more pros
porous, more happy, more con-
tented.

It's Up TO Us.

A paragraph is fitting around
in the press to the effect that "the
future may be bright for some,
but the road will always be dark
for others
Of course some pessimist wrote
it, for pessimists always mill
around in the shadows.
AS a matter of hard fact, this
world is always just about what
we choose to make it.
If we pull a long face and go
out hunting for troubles, we will
find them-in punches.
If we saddle ourselves with a
case of the blues in the morning,
and hang onto it with a certain
death grip all day, and take it to
bed with us at might've will prob
ably find life's pathway shroud-
ed in gloom.
But it will be gloom of our own
making, and we will De getting
only that which we sought.
But how different is the other
side?
God inficts us with certain
troubles, but He also gives us
brains. and determination, and a
will power with which to rise
above the petty perplexities and
tribulations of life. The bright
side of existence is all around us
in front of us-everywhere we
turn-constantly knocking for ad-
mission.
It is ours for the taking.
The man or woman who can
not feel thankful for the pure air
and the bright sunshine, and
three meals day, is something
less than a normal human being
There is a screw loose somewhere
Even the animals Of the earth and
the birds of the air are not so de-
generate in their class, for they
seek always for the brightness OF
life.
And is our intelligence and our
will power inferior to theirs, that
we should live with an ache and
die with grunt?
Every trouble inflicted upon us
is for our own ultimate good, and
they are infnitesimal when com.
pared with the joys of a bright
mind. a clear conscience and a de-
termination to reap to the fullest
of life's blessings.
If the road is dark to some. il
is because they do not use the
brains which God gave them il
overcoming the obstacles which
He in His wisdom has placed in
their pathway.
Our future is up to us, to make
or to mar, as we choose.
