to receive no answer, although to the

effect; then summoned him by name

The Origin Of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day did not origi-
nate in the North as most people
believe, it really came from the
South.
1t owes it's origin to the women
of the South, who began the
practice of decorating their
graves less than two years after
the close of the Civil War. That
struggle of four years had kept
our country in a constant state
of commotion and excitement.
Every part of the nation had con-
tributed it's men, young and old,
to the conflict. When peace was
restored there was scarcely a
village or town that did not have
a grave to remind it of the fear
full cost.
A New York newspaper first
published @ report stating
that a few women O. Columbus,
Miss, had strewn the graves OF
the dead soldiers, Union as well
as Confederates. This touching
tribute caused thrill of tender.
ness to pass through the North,

The Story Of One Hundred
And Twenty Dollars In Gold.

The settlement of the estate
of the late Henry Voelker was
made at the Probate Court this
week and our reporter picked up
an interesting story concerning
the marriage of Mr.. Voelker to
bis wife, who was the daughter
of Jos. Grass. At the time of
his marriage, Mr.. Voelker was
endowed with nothing more than
determination and grit, and had
to borrow ten dollars to pay
necessary wedding expenses.
Mr.. Grass did not look with fav-
or upon the union and told his
daughter that if she persisted in
her devotion to Voelker he would
cut her out of inheritance in his
estate. The girl remained true
to her lover, and they were mar
ried, and about seven months
later her father died. His will
provided that she was to have
but one hundred and twenty
dollars of the estate, and when
the settlement was made she was
paid the amount by the admins
traitor in gold. The shining coins
were laid away and never dis
turbed, and only came to ligh,
when the inventory of Mr.. Voel
kers estate was made over fifty
years later and is now held by
one of the children for the moth
er, who prefers that it be in his
hands than in her keeping. While
the money was never touched by
Mr.. VOelker or his wife as they
strived and prospered, it must
have, at times in their early
struggles, been temptation to
do so. 1t might be interesting
to figure out how this pile of gold
would have grown if it had been
placed at compound interest for
the fifty years that it was in Sc
cluSiOn. = PerrVYille Republican.

that idea. The plan of the single
takers is to get the greatest uti-
lization of the land, the exploita-
ton of the natura resources, and
the unearned increment re-
sulting from social conditions for
the benefit of the people. Farm
ers, as a rule, are opposed to this
idea. believing that because they
are collectively the largest hold
ers of land, they would, under
the single tax system, have to
bear the greater portion of the
tax burden. Still, we believe
they are beginning to get faint
idea that our present system Of
taxation is not ideal, by any
means, and that even now they
are bearing more than their just
share of the public burden. I'm

pay taxes only in proportion to
the productive value of his land.

dDpOluCeu HUT tdlS.
In looking for the causes of un-
happy marriages we are prone to
look in the wrong direction. 1t
is our habit to ascribe controll-
ing Importance to the things
which are seer. We lay the
blame on low wages, or on poor
housing, or on economic condi-
tions, or on the industrial order,
while all the time the trouble lies
deeper. It lies in the heart. It
is the things which are not seen
which are responsible for our
woes. It is out of the heart that
proceed the destructive forces
which tear home to pieces. II
marital happiness depends on
good wages and elegant houses.
then why are so many divorce
courts crowded with men and
women who wear fine linen and
fare sumptuously every day:
Husbands and wives drift apart
no matter what kind of house
they live in, if they do not have
home building hearts.-Charles

P0sTERITY'S DEBT TO TINKER
