Psalmist, has observed the starry

any body of men is justified in strik-
ing to gain recognition of its union,
it is the express drivers. I know of
one who worked for one of the large
express companies here for many
years and who was appreciated by
the company for his industry and
faithfulness, yet he LEFT home at 6 in
the morning (his wife getting up to
get his breakfast before he Left and
arrived home in the evening at z
o'clock latter which he had to eat his
supper and the dishes had to be
washed by his patient wife,.
His WoTkday was ten hours. He
was on duty occasionally in the even
ing, and also one Sunday a month,
and for this he received $50 month,
It is quite likely true that some of
the men who have not worked for
the companies long get only $40 a
month, as stated in one of the daily
papers, What kind of a life is that

A VALUABLE MoMENTo.
Civil War Period Recalled by Letter
Sent by Mrs. Edd. McConvillc,
of Dale.

Mrs. Edd. McConville of Dale, has
sent the Record by registered mail a
letter which she values very highly and
which is a curiosity, indeed. What
heart-throbs and pathos is behindsthe
writing IF the letter, no one will ever
know. The letter was picked up on
the battle field at Vicksburg, byzA. NJ !.
j. Eastwood, father Of Mrs McConvillc
and John Eastwood, Of Glencoe. 1t
is written on small note-head, in the
upper left-hand corner of which is the
seal Of the Confederate States of
America, under which is printed:
Mem of the South! A free-born race,
They youch patriot line;
Ready the foeman's van to face,
And guard their country's shrine:
By sire and son halomg light
Through time is borne along;
They nothing ask but what is right,
And yield to nothing wrong"
The letter is addressed to Miss Ma
tilda Martin, Pontotoc, Miss. in fair
ly good hand. 1t is signed by "Your
affectionate lover, DR.. H. P. Here
ford" The contents are in the form
of poetry and are prepared with some
care.
After the war, Mr.. Eastwood wrote
to the address indicated, but received
no reply. Undoubtedly the ravages
of the war had not missed the south
ern city and the parties had either been
forced bv circumstances to '.ove TO
other parts, or had passed away.
