OveralIs for Women.

Recently 100 Women in one fac
tory in st. Louis dressed themselves
in overalls and are delighting in free
movements and pockets. House keep
ers have been wearing them in isola-
ted cases while cleaning house and
doing other domestic work that skirts
impede. To be sure bicycles and
swimming pools have induced women
to wear trouser-like garments on oc-
casions but now overalls have come
to stay and will take away any de-
sign of house-keeper's aprons.
Emancipated indeed are women who
dress in overalls and work in places
heretofore thought sacred to men.

bad and would like so much to hear
from you all. We know nothing of
the progress of the war, only what
we get from flying rounds and have
learned not to believe anything we
hear, as the truth is not known in
this country among the soldiers. We
burned up Harper's Ferry and left
it, and be assured the troops were
glad enough to get away from there.

Letter From Capt. Hudson

A letter from Mrs. w. j. Hudson
last Sunday had letter that is given
below. The wound he alludes to was
received as he was on his way to
Virginia and he said was the first
Georgia blood spilled in the war Rev.
Elan Christian, so long a resident of
Marietta, was wounded by the first
volley fired by the federal soldiers
in the first battle of Bull Run-if we
remember it right.
Mrs. Hudson writes of her failing
sight and health but continues to love
her old home here and enjoys read
ing of her friends. She has many

Old Glory.
By G. L. MORRILL,.

BY u. l.. MORRILL.
Now is the time for Old Glory to
achieve neF glory.
The letter F in our flag stands for
faith in God; L for liberty of body,
mind and soul; A for army on land
and sea; and for the good of every
class, creed and condition which it
welcomes to our shores.
Love and loyalty to our flag is the
supreme test of American citizen
ship Today, as in Washington's
time, it stands for religion which
gave us a Christian nation; an edu-
cation which gave us the public
school SYSTEM liberty which gave
US the Declaration of independence;
and a patriotism which fought for
American institutions.
God made and breathed his bles-
sings on Old Glory as it floats on sea
and land for home, church and coun-
try. 1t stands for liberty, honor,
bravery and duty. Compared with
the flags of despotism in other lands
it is like a flower in the wilderness,
a star in the night and life in death.
| love Old Glory; my father fought
for it in ga! have belted the globe
with Old Glory stickpins from Bos-
ton to Bombay and North Cape to
Cape Horn. More now than ever it
is the flag that is to protect every
American citizen, and demand re-
paration for every American who has
been insulted, robbed, shot or drown
ed. Let the man who insults the
Stars and Stripes wear stripes and
see stars.
God bless President Wilson and
all our soldiers in any fight between
aristocracy and democracy, intelli-
gence and ignorance, freedom and
slavery.
America holds the dial of social,
political and moral standard. We
are our brothers keeper, and if the
time ever comes when the humblest
citizen beneath Old Glory's folds is
not heard in his cry for justice, our
flag will become a rag despised of
God and man. Old Glory means that
governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the govern
ed" and that as it stands for US we
must stand for it in arms, on our
farms, and by power of muscle, mind,
money or morality which we may pos
sess.
Today we sing, "Hail, Columbia,
happy land" We march to the
music of America" and under the
aegis of Old Glory, we say, "Our
country to be cherished in all our
hearts, to be defended by all our
hands" Now, as never, it is our
delight and duty to give our voice
and vote, our head, heart and hand
for the defense of this flag, and what
1t represents, and to swear with Cho-
ate, I'VE join ourselves to no party
that does not carry the flag and keep
step to the music of the United
States. THE Masonic Observer.

An Answer to the Question
"Shall the u. D. c. Dissolve

Although somewhat late in send
ing in my protest, as this letter had
to pass the censorship of our Ken
nesaw Chapter U. D. c. Marietta,
Ga, | am none the less interested and
earnest in my sentiments and beg
leave to state them plainly:
The question, "Shall the U. d. C.
Dissolve?" is one that strikes at the
very HEART of our Southland! Have
not their work been of the utmost
value to their country? They have
built monuments to "the heroes who
wore the gray, they have founded
schools and supported orphans, cared
for the aged, sustained the INDECENT,
placed the Cross of Honor on the
survivors of those soldiers who
fought so nobly through the War
Between the States, and sent their
last tokens of love to be placed up
on the collins of our dead.
They have caused the truth of
History to be taught in the institu-
tons of learning, and have defended
it against all of the assaults of the
traducer.
With what patience have they
wrought to rest from the tangles of
briars and weeds, the desolate ceme-
teries of the Confederate dead, who
gave their precious lives to defend
their principles of right and honor!
With no help but their own brave,
determined hearts, these "bivouacs
of the dead, have been made places
of beauty, marked by cleaning head
stones of marble and over all watch
ing everlasting stands the stately
shaft of the Confederate monument.

South
Better than all, they have con-
quered self No bitterness rankles
in their hearts.
Because of their faithfulness, their
devotion to duty, they have laid a

of the U. D. CO. responded more will
lingly and more quickly than any of
the other states to the call?
Dissolve the U. D. c.? NEVER.
We cannot change our lineage,
whether we WILL or not. Our Fa-
theirs fought for liberty and the
rights of their country, and our Sons
will do the same.
We have inherited the u. D. c..

it to prove ourselves worthy of this
noble heritage
