New England and the old free
states, the name of Robert E. Lee
was inscribed by the side of that OF
Ulysses S. Grant in the Hall of
Fame for Great Americans. When
that was done the last barrier OF
partition between what were once
the discordant sections of our COM
mon country was broken down.
Now, after two-thirds of a cen
tury, it is profitable to recall that
the two great civilian protagonists
of our domestic conflict both sprang
from the dark and bloody ground
of Kentucky, only a few miles apart
in space and less than year apart
in time. To the one the whole ma
ton has paid such memorial trib-
utes as not more than one other in
all it's history has known. To the
other the nation will not begrudge
such monumental honors as his ma
tive state may bestow. When Hor-
ace Greely signed the bail bond OF
Jefferson Davis great was the DursI
Of wrath against him. He happened

Many Music Pupils.

Miss Sadie Harter, who has been
our music teacher for the past ten
years and who has entered upon an
other year, informs us that poor crop
conditions is reflected in her line
very little, if any at all. Her enroll
ment to date is we'll up to average
for this period of the year. That GER
tainlv sounds fine to an unframed
ear. Fine, for the reason that it is
indicative of a community with mu-
sical soul. Given that quality and a
sense of humor and we have pretty
good instruments with which to fight
general conditions which we hear
termed so often as hard-and it real
ly could hardly be called easy.

Alvah Morris has been in Olar for
the past few days, but is to return to
WATERFORD soon to take up work

Miss Mary Neeley, who is attend

Ray Barker is home from Colum-

OBELISK FOR DAVIS.
Memory of South's Leader To Be
HOnored.


Honored.
The erection of a stately obelisk
in memory of Jefferson Davis to mark
his birthplace attracts little atten-
ton. Yet not long ago protests would
have been voluminous and forceful.
Great has been the change. Multi
tudes who once would have frowned
upon the shaft will now regard it
with a degree of appreciation, as de-
noting not so much glorifcation of an
attempted secession as confirmation
of perpetual indisoluble union.
Jefferson Davis was for many years
an eminent and respected public SER
want of the United States, gallant in
war. wise in council, capable in ad-
ministering and pure in character,
and for four years was the head of a
government of a great people-a gov
yernment, which no matter how much
or how Justly we may condemn it as
unlawful, did exist de facto, exercis-
ed all tne functions of government
and commanded our own recognition
&c q belligerent power. Such ca
reer bulks large in American history
and is not unworthy of commemora-
ton.

Olar, Sept. 2S.-A few days ago
Frank Fail, who lives about three
miles from Olar, brought to town
quite healthy product of this COM
munity, same being in the form of
a real wild cat-very dead. The cat
weighed upwards Of twenty pounds,
measuring in length over thirty inch
es, and in height around twenty inch
es He showed signs of battle, as do
a number of dogs, who are given full
credit for making an end of the night

men is indicative of the crop of his

entertainment, for all those who,
through vegetation crop failures, can
not find any other diversion.

SUPERVISORS ADLouRN

After holding a session on Monday
the Board of Supervisors adjourned
their October meeting and will as
semble again on the morning Of the
seventh of November.
The matter claiming the attention
of the board on Monday was the let
ting Of road contracts in the Artesia
District. 1t seems that bids were
submitted for the construction Of
roads, and he lowest bidder did not
specify any certain sum but stated
that he would do the work For fifty
dollars less than the lowest bidder.
This was accepted by the road sup
ervisors, but the County Board Of
Supervisors looked upon the bid as
a little 'un-regular" as Hambone
would say. They decided to reject
all the bids and re-advertise for Other
bids.
