not whence he came, but only that
his death marks him with the ever
lasting glory of an American dying
for his country.

Of millions of American homes. Some

derness Of her most cherished hopes.

public. If we give rein to- fancy, a
score Of sympathetic chords are
touched, for in this body there once
glowed the soul of an American with
the aspirations and ambitions of a
citizen who cherished life and it's op-
portunities, he may have been a ma
tive or an adopted son; that matters
little, because they glorif1ed the same

We do not know his station in life
because from every station came the

I recall the days OF creating armies
and the departing of caravans which
braved the murderous seas to reach
the battle lines for maintained ma

Service Flag Marked Homes
The service flag marked mansion
and cottage alike and riches were
common to all homes in the con-
sciousness of service to country.
We do not know the eminence o.
his birth, but we do know the gior,
Of his death. He died for his coun-
try and greater devotion hath no maj
than this. He died unquestioning, un
complaining with faith in his hear
and hope on his lips, that his country
should triumph and its civilization

Hatred for War.
This American soldier went forth
to battle with no hatred for any peo-
pie in the world, but hating war and
conquest. He cherished our national
rights and abhorred the threat of
armed domination: and in the nael-
strom of destruction and suffering and
death he fired his shot for liberation
of the captive conscience of the
world. IN advancing toward his OBJ
jective was somewhere a thought of
a world awakened; and we are hero
to testify undying gratitude and rev.
erence TOR that thought of wider
freedom.
On such an occasion as this. amid
such a. scene, our thoughts alternate
between defenders living and defend
ers dead. A grateful republic will

dead by making a better republic for
the living.
Sleeping in these hallowed grounds
are thousands Of Americans who have
given their blood for the baptism of
freedom and its maintenance, armed
exponents of the nations conscience
It is better and nob!er for their deeds
Burial here is rather more than q
sign of the governments favor, it is
a suggestion of a tomb in the hear:
of the nation sorrowing for its noble
dead. r,

Caving banks along the Bossier Par
isl front have time and again caused
the moving back of levees, residences,
cabins, barns, and even railroad tracks
In few instances. At South River
side plantation, three miles south Of
Benton, the encroachment Of the river
Is going to necessitate more changes In
the near future. At that point the
leyee, graveled road and railroad (Cot-
ton Relt's) are In close proximity. All
will have to be moved hack.
According to Mr.. J. e. White, local
section foreman for the Cotton Belt
Company, the railroad company will
have to construct run-around track
2h miles in length. which viii cost ap-
proxiimately $1O0,O0 The survey has
been made and the new rightOfway
staked Oh. The work is to be under
taken and completed within the next
several months this winter, Mr.. White
said.
The South Riverside place is now re-
ferred to as Dukedale (since being nc
quired by Mr.. George w. Duke, Of
Shrevep0rt) and, fortunately, 1t will

residence on the place be again moved

be between the new levee and the rail-
road, the levee to the west and the rail-
road to the east.
About a two-mile stretch OF new
levee must be constructed and the new
stretch Of gravel road will, We judge,
be 2H miles, or more, in length. These
two Items Of cost will also be con-
siderable
The new leyee would cross the Cot
ton Belts trucks at the Dukedale res
stdence and aka1n inst sOGith 0f the
Buckhall plantation hne, which makes
1t plain to the reader why the railroad
company must move back, ana the
same may be said about the graveled
highway. The Cotton Belts new track,

present right0fway just north OF the
Dukedale residence and again Join 1t
just south Of the Bnckhail plantation
line. 1t Is to be seen that much valu-
able land must be sacrificed. The river
has given us many acres Of the finest
kind Of farming soil, but annually 1t
claims hack its toll Of acres.

It is with a feeling OF genuine COM

passing OF an old friend, Mr.. w. n.

Tuesday afternoon at his home In
Hanghton. The funeral services were
I'VE Think conducted at his home and
the hterment, yesterday afternoon at
three o'clock, was In the family burial
grounds at the Bledsoe old place, near

Mr.. Blelsoe, almost totally blind at
the time OF his death, had been in fail
Ing health for some years past, hut he
patiently bore his afiiictioils. He was
not man OF the stamp who give con-

but, rather, was always most con-

Miss Key. perhaps also a native Of
Georgia. His first wife was Miss
Sallie Arnold, daughter Of william

lowing the close Of the Confederate

tlnsn twenty years ago. AS result or
