In October, 1865, General Lee
became president of Washington
College at Lexington Virginia. He
was offered many other places of
trust but he chose to lead the
young men of the south in the
paths of peace and learning, as
he had so nobly done in times of
war.
Early in 1870, his health began
to fail. He went south and visited
the grave of his father. He seemed
better when he returned home,
but the morning Of October 12,
1870, the news flashed over the
wires that General Lee was dead.
On the 18th the funeral service
was held in the Chapel of the
Cole; and on the 18th the body
was borne to the tomb, at Lexing-
ton, Va.
The people of the South were
very poor but they gave gladly
OF their small means to erect a
monument in honor of their hero,
The monument in all is about 6l
feet in height, and cost sixty-five
Thousand dollars. It represents tho
General mounted upon his war
horse Traveller
The unwilling of the monument
in Richmond, Va, was on Friday,
May 20, 1890. A multitude of peo-
pie was there.
Seldom had men looked upon
such a scene before, but at last
.the crowd went slowly away
leaving their hero in bronze to
keep silent watch over the city he
loved SO we'll.
tThe above was written by
Miss Cora Mae Talley, a pu-
pil in Rutledge high school.)

The LIFE OF GENERAL
ROBERT E. LEE

DOBERT Edward Lee was born
II at Stratford, Westmoreland
County, Virginia, on the 18th OF
January, 1907.
His father died while he was
yet very young and his mother
lived only to train her children
in the right way.
When he was eighteen years old
he went to West Point to learn
to be a soldier. He waas there
four years and in that time never
got a black mark or a demerlt.
In 1929, when twenty-five years
old, he entered the Engineer Corp
of the United States, and became
Lieutenant Lee.
In 1876 a war broke out between
the United States and Mexico.
Captain Lee did many brave
deeds during this war.
At the beginning of the Civil
war, he was offered the Chief
command fthe United States ar
my if he would remain in the u
Mon Service, He loved the Union
and had lived nearly all of his
life in it's service but he knew
that he sould not fight against
Virginia, his native state.
The Battle of Charlottesville
was Lees Greatest battle, but its
glory was clouded by the death
of Stonewalf Jackson, called the
right arm Of Lee"
In all the battles that Lee
fought he was never really de-
feated, but he gave up because he
had only eight thousand men, and
no more feed, while Grants army
numbered about two hundred
thousand. With a heart bursting
with grief, he once more did his
duty. He went to General Grant
and surrendered himself and his
few remaining men

More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THE SOONER THE BETTER.
When e'er l hear a bachelor
OF thirty or above,
Express his utter lOathing for
The malady called love,
And vow with an expression grim
That not Jane eXtant
Can throw the halter over him,
l say, The deuce she can't"
a kid OF twenty-five can flirt
And run away again,
He's half in love with every skirt
That sweeps into his ken.
But just rs he begins TO sigh
For Gladys or for Rose,
Comes Amaryllis dancing by.
And off for her he goes.
But on attaining thirty years.
He well may take alarm
When any pretty girl appears
And pats him on the arm;
For If she's marked him for her
own,
Though she be fat or slim.
In vain It is 10 writhe or moan.
The Jig is up for him.
Best fall in love at twenty-five
When you can pick and choose,
And when il matters not TO you
II you should win or lose.
For after thirty you will fall
For some determined dame
And though she's not your choice
at all
She'll get you. just the same.
