Columbus claims also the distinction
of being the first to decorate the

The "Index" further comments upon
the spirit which instigated this mag
unanimous act and states that it was
at the suggestion of "a lady-one OF
the sweetest women with whom God
ever blessed the earth-who volunteer

Grace Augusta Ogden, Of Atlanta
the little granddaughter of Mrs. Au.
lguta Cox. to whose spirit such tri.
butte is paid, heard for the first time
rumor of this episode and wrote to
have it substantiated. The reply, in
the daintiest feminine tracery, of a
generation past, lies before rae, and
is. in part, as follows:
Just after the first decoration of
our Confederate soldiers graves,
was on a committee with dear
friend, Miss Matt Morton; and we had
large quantity of flowers in excess
of what we needed for our own dead.
The graves of the Federal soldiers
looked SO bare and desolate, | said to
my friuld, Let US drop a flower on
each of their graves for their Moth
er's sakes each mound represents
some Mothers darling She responded
cheerfully, so we led off, followed by
a few, but now it. has become a Gus
tom TO remember, the Blue and the
Gray and we know Jesus would have
us forgive as we hope to be forgiven
He loved every che and we are to fol-
low His example or we cannot be His
disciples.
"This was long time ago, but how
good Good is allowing me to tell one
of my own dear grandchildren; and
surely it is easier for you to forgive
who know only through others of the
horrows Of war. Let us strive to for
get the past and remember that God
is love-"
So this brave little woman, who
buried the love of her young life with
"a Confederate soldier, and turned to
drop flower on the grave Of. q fallen
foe. still lives a silver-haired, great
grandmother, to inculcate lessons of
peace and forgiving love IN the hearts
of the fourth generation. G. A. 0.

Editor Star Mirror:
On the Waunscher gulch grade
about half way between Kendrick and
Cameron is a spot known as the
Devils Slide. This is where, in some
remote period of the past, thousands
Of tons of basalt rock and earth have
slidden from the mountain side above
and stopped only when the bottom of
the canyon was reached From the
bottom of this slide issues small
spring, the temperature of the water
of which is about that of ice-32 de-
greco fahrenheit. Will some man or
woman who is well versed in geolog-
ical science rise up and explain,
through the columns of the Star
Mirror, wah caused such a phenome-
non The basalt rock was, of course,
the result of volcanic action-of hav-
ing come in contact with fire or great
heat. But did the flow from the erup-
ton swoop down upon an immense
iceberg, and is that iceberg still
slowly melting? or is the ice spring
the result of chemical action-of
chemical mixture? The writer had
often heard of this ice spring, but I'M
til last week had never partaken of its
liquid freshness. 1t is within one rod
of the county road-yet no doubt
thousands of others like the writer,
have passed by it hundreds of times,
not knowing of it's location. Why does
not some enterprising business firm
of Kendrick put up a sign something
like this: One rod below is the ice
