OF MARRIED LIFE
CAPTAIN and Mrs. r. G. overton Were
Married In 1866, After He Had
Served Three Years In

Captain Overton and Miss Matte
, Hardin were engaged at the time Of
the civil war. When Mr.. Overton, at
the age OF eighteen, trudged or to
fight for his country's existence. Miss
Hardin was "the girl he left behind
him"
Captain Overton says he remem-
beers the day of that departure as Wv
idly as If it had been yesterday. His
father and brother were already in
the army, when in the dark days Of
1862, young Overton decided that he
too must fight for his country. With
all his worldly effects tied up in pill
low slip, he walked ten miles to the
railroad station where the train wait
ed to carry the young volunteers to
the front. Miss Hardin accompanied
him part way to the station.

ton, ut was no unusual thing In the
country districts to see mothers and
daughters crying by the roadsides,
mourning the departures of father,
or brother to the scene OF war
On July ~, 1866, after the cessation
OF hostilities, Mr.. Overton and Miss
Hardin were married. When Mr..
Overton returned to Keohuk after he
was honorably discharged from the
army, his wife, that was to be, was

THE PROPOSED cURFEW


Another effort is to be made at the
village meeting next Tuesday to es-
tablish curfew ordinance for the viii
lage of Bennington. The Banner has
always felt that curfew law is an at
tempt to place on the community
load of responsibility that belongs TO
parents.
1t is evident that something ought
to be done Twenty-eight juvenile Of
tenders have been in court the past
few weeks for all sorts Of offences
from vagrancy to burglary. These rs
cases are by no means all. There
have been many additional cases of
truancy and misdemeanors on the
part of children, not punished and in
some instances, not detected.
Often the fault lies with the parents
who deserve punishment rather than
the children For months every night
there has been group of small boys,
and sometimes girls. hanging around
the entrances of the moving picture
theatres begging money for admission.
This condition of affairs ought not to
be permitted Parents ought to keep
these young children at home evenings
mostly and the village police should be
instructed to stop their public solicita-
ton of money. Generous folks are
often glad to give the children a
nickle but it is bad thing for the
boys and girls.
In some cases, too, the fault is not
| with the parents. A mother with a
large family and obliged to do all her
own work is not able to watch the
children every minute. Often when
evening comes she is so exhausted by
the days work-so tired out nervously
and physically that she isn't compe-
tent to give her children companion
ship and help come evening.
The father who has to get up early
and work long hours for small wages
often has some odd Job to do at even
ing and the lively youngsters run the
streets, meaning no evil but exposed
always to temptation and danger
1t will do no harm to try the curfew
but il, 1t rings, at 8 O'Clock for the
children it should ring again at 1890
or IL for older people. Even then it
won't reach the seat of the trouble.
| The socialist will say that we need
q more equitable distribution OF labor
and income. The eugenist will. say
I that the need is to breed a race can
able of taking better advantage of the
opportunity that nearly every persah
has. The educator viii say that the
need is for more universal training
to overcome the forces Of igncra1ce.
| The spiritual thinker will insist that
| the need is to become disciples OF
| Christ, to live the life that he taught
| and to follow the example which he
| has given.
Probably we need all these things
and maybe others also. The curfew
| won't do it, but it may help some.
