HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE

After all. the world gives its highest regard
and its deepest affection to character
Lakeland is paying honor today to an old
resident of the community, an aged veteran of the
Civil war. and every heart in the community is
tender with thankfulness that General j. A. Cox
his eighty-fourth birthday is still with us. But
this is not merely because he has been with us
long time and fought calamity in cause that
many of US hold dear General Cox is loved by
these who fought with all their might on the OPP
posite side of the issue fer which he risked his
life. The facts that he was gallant soldier
and that he has lived long life throw glow
of romance about Lakelands affection for him,
but the affection itself is founded on something
deeper.
Lakeland loves General Cox because he is at
the same time enc of the strongest and one of the
sweetest characters the community has known.
Tried by the vicisstudcs CT warfare, he revealed
beth courage and foritude. The war was over
long ago Years have passed since then. bringing
to the gallant soldier the disappontments the af-
hictions and the griefs that none can escape and
to which many respond with bitterness and re-
bellion. But the generals nature has scftened and
meIlowed in the experiences of life To hold his
hand is to know that you are in the presence of
strong character; TO see the sunshiny wistfulncss
OF his smile is to know that he is a man who has
been stronger than the adversties of the world,
one who has wrcstled with life and obtained its
blessing Of spiritual nobility.

the BEST and you may shoot the bears and rats
that do your home infest, and wound them sorely
in the Stats, and send them to their rest"
Across the street l journeyed then to buy a
deadly tool; the store full of half baked men,
and little boys from school, they bought their
guns and bought again, and broke no law or rule

This would be valuable advertising for the city,
