ton was made Of them there is no
account As to Macfarlane, he was
ordred to be taken to the execution
ground and an order read to him as
follows: "In consideration for the
noble stand taken for the right by
your brother, Captain Macarlane of
the Ninth Missouri State Militia, the
commanding general is pleased to
order that your life be spared and
your sentence committed TO confine-
ment during the war" Amidst great
excitment of the people of Mexico
AMI a large crowd which had gathered
there that day to witness the execu-
ton of DIR. Macfarlane, as well as
three others, he was led to the execu-
ton grounds, where all necessary prep
arations for this execution had been
made. Standing IN his place, the
order was read to him, whereupon he

Audrain Civil War Stories

By Betty Earle

By Betty Earle
One hundred years-and in the place
Of wilderness, a wheat-held space
With fields fuIl-golden make the run
Of acres countless in the sun :
And rich as sunlight's W vast face.
Such is the State. Hef arms embrace
The food Of multitudes, her pace
Moves upward among visions spun
One hundred years.
Scom not her patience in the race
For saintliness. While footsteps trace
A path of service nobly done,
Mute on her brow, as on a nun,
Calm gotden-rod has wreathed a grace
One hundred years.
