FLAG RAISING A BIG AFFAIR

"A great crowd gathered at Crab
Orchard Saturday afternoon to see
Old Glory unfurled to the breezes
and enjoy the ceremonies attending
it. At 3 o'clock Mr.. H. G.. Skies stat
ed the object of the occasion and
asked Rev. M. p. Morgan to invoke
divine blessings, which he did in a
very appropriate prayer. Mr.. Skies
then made a most interesting talk,
apoligizing on the start for his an
pearance, claiming that he was a
substitute for some "big gun" from
Danville, who had failed to show up.
The hearers were not a bit disap-
pointed, for Mr.. Skies gave them a
ringing patriotic speech that was
most fitting of the occasion. The
brakes Creek Brass Band, Prof w.
H. Jones, leader, discoursed many of
the patriotic airs and each tune was
loudly applauded. The band is COM
posed of the neighborhood boys and
Attorney w. B. Hansford was then
introduced to the audience and for
thirty minutes he gave in most in
teresting way history of the wars
from 1776 to the present time. A
pleasing speaker, he is at his best in
history, and his talk was as instruc-
tive as it was entertaining. The In
terror Journal has promise of the
speech for publication and hopes to
give its readers the benefit of it be-
fore long. The flag that we honor
ourselves by honoring was then rails
ed amid deafening applause. 1t floats
from a long staff on the top of the
Masonic building which is occupied
by Lyme Bros, druggists. A pleasing
feature of the afternoon was the
singing by a large band of young
people number of patriotic songs.
including america" "The Star
Spangled Banner" etc. At the con-
clusion of the exercises, Rev. Pervis
dismissed the crowd with benedic-
tion. 1t was the soberest, most order
ly gathering the writer has seen for
long time, and while there was great
cheering and profuse applause, there
was an undercurrent of solemnity
that was clearly noticeable. DR.. M.
NJ. Perkins was one of the prime
movers in the flag raising and he
must have felt proud to see every
thing go off as nicely as it did.

CRAB ORCHARD SPRINGS

An l. j. representative spent Sat-
urday at Crab Orchard and was
agreeably surprised to find 80 or 40
people there this early in the sea-
son. Heretofore crowds have not
gathered much before the middle of
June or first of July, and the excep-
ton this year is very pleasing. Good
care is being taken of those at the
springs and "Ma" Willis is giving
them the very best the market af-
fords. Right now she is making a
speciality of vegetable dinners and the
one Saturday would appeal to the APP
petite of the worst dyspeptic in the
country. The guests are amusing
themselves fishing and rowing and
driving through the pretty country
surrounding.

HAUNTED RIFLE IN TRENCHES
German Gun, Captured in Abandoned
Dugout, Brings Trouble to New
Owner, the Latter Believes.

An officer in the European trenches
writes:
| have heard many i'll omens APP
piled to certain towns or villages.
There is one on the tower Albert, for
instance; while certain dugouts are
always unducky. 1t is bad omen in
some parts of the line TO stumble over
grave.
During the late offensive a certain
young officer found in captured
trench German snipers rifle with two
small ivory disks let into the stock
He kept it in his dugout. intending to
take it back to billets when they va
Gated the trench. One morning he
brought it out in the trench to clean
and Fritz thereupon started strafing,
so that he had TO retire again to his
dugout. Next day the same thing
happened, and whenever he brought
the rifle out of the dugout shells would
begin to come over. Finally the thing
got so ON his nerves that he refused
to let any one touch the rifle. 1t is
probably still in the dugout, for it is
certain that the legend was handed on
to the next occupants.

ODD BRIDGES IN OLD WORLD
That at croyland, England, Dating
From Ninth Century.

Probably no town in the world has
such strange bridges as Srinagar, the
capital of Kashmir, in India. The city
is built on the banks of the River Jhe-
lum, which is crossed by many wooden
bridges, lined with old ami dilapidated
shops and houses, with balconies and
lattice windows. Some of these are
very insecure, and look as if they
might at any time fall into the river
beneath, says London Tit-BitS.
The rooted KapeIlbruche. at Lu-
cerne. is one of the most interesting.
1t crosses the River Reuss dagonally,
and has III triangular paintings be
meath the roof, recording the heroic
deeds of the old Switzers and the suf-
ferings of their patron saints. In the
midst Of the Kapellbruche stands an
octagonal tower, which formed part
of the Notifications of the town in the
thirteenth century. The bridge was
built in 1888.
One of the most curious and ancient
bridges in Europe is that ut C:oyland,
in Lincolnshire. which is supposed to
date from the ninth century. No road
now passes over and no water under
it. II consists of three pointed arches
which meet in the center, and the as
cent is so steep that only foot passen-
gers can go over it. Upon the bridge
is seated figure in stone of Il robed
| Saxon king.

guage. The captain thanked him, fit
ted out another boat with him, and in
this boat it was my luck to go.
When we got there, it was such a
scene as you seldom see, and never
want to. Nastiness beyond account,
and chaos run loose in the midst Of the
nastiness. There were not a great
many of the negroes; but by way
of making what there were understand
that they were free, Vaughan had had
their handouts and anklecuffs knocked
off, and, for convenience sake, was
putting them upon tire rascals of the
schooner's crew. The negroes were,
most of them, out of the hold, and
swarming all round the dirty deck,
with a central throng surrounding
Vaughan and addressing him in every
dialect and patois of a dialect, from
the Zulu click up to the Partisan of
Beledeljereed.
AS we came on deck, Vaughan
looked down from a hogshead, on
which he had mounted in desperation,
and said:
For Gods love, is there anybody
who can make these wretches under
stand something? The men gave them
rum, and that did not quiet them. l
knocked that big fellow down twice,
and that did not soothe him. And then
1 talked Choctaw to all of them to-
gether; and I'll be hanged if they I'M
derstood that as well as they under
stood the English"
Nolan said he could speak Por-
| tuguese, and one or two fne-looking
Kroomen were dragged out, who. as II
had been found already, had worked
for the Portuguese on the coast at
Fernando Pc.
"Tell them they are Free" said
Vaughan; "and tell them that these
rascals are to be hanged as soon as
we can get rope enough"
Nolan explained it in such Portu
guese as the Kroomen could under
stand, and they in turn to such of the
negroes as could understand them
Then there was such yell of delight

schooner which had slaves on board.
An officer was sent to take charge of
her, and after few minutes he sent
back his boat to ask that someone
might be sent him who could speak
Portuguese. We were all looking over
the rail when the message came, and
we all wished we could interpret, wher
the captain asked who spoke Por
