REUNION AT LEESVILLE
ON JUNE THIRD

While | am not an official in the
Leesville Confederate Veterans, | fee
that it is our duty to let the lac,ies who
entertained us and the visiting com
rades from other parishes know thru
public channels that we very highly ap-
preciate their splendid work. Nothing
was left undone to make us and our
visiting comrades enjoy the occasion.
While we do not know all the undivid
ual workers for our pleasure, we do
know that their labor and foresight
accomplished a perfect success fo-
their enterprise. Most Of the old Veter-
ans were surprised to meet such well
come and in the winding up of the
program at the Court House there was
music by the band from Llano Colony,
that reused feelings in the hearts Of
most of the Veterans that had lain dor
mant in them SO odd years.
When the band struck up THE Bon
ME Blue Flag" one of our old march
ing songs adapted to the South un-
der the name of "The Home-spun
Dress the spirit of the COS return
ed to our bosoms and little noise from
old voices gave proof that old recoI-
lections were still in our hearts, When
Dixie" followed, few Of the old Vets
could still give what the old-timers call
the Rebel Yell"
The people of Llano Colony should
be proud of their band, which includes
artists almost "from the cradle to the
grave" 1t is a pity that so much tai
end as exists in the world should go
through life undeveIoped. The Col
ony at Newllano will have accomplish
ID good work if it does no more
han prove that development of the
mind and refinement of the soul can
90 hand in hand with labor that sus-
aims the physical body.
Again, the Daughters Of the Confed
'racy have our thanks for their kind
Efforts in our behalf.
Respectfully,

A MECHANICAL GENIUS

]. w. Dowden was born in Vernon
Parish So years ago; unobtrusive in
manners yet friend to all. What we
have to say about him here is the very
remarkable mechanical skill with which
he is endowed. He is the one man that
we have met who can fix anything Of
mechanical nature that can be fixed
with ordinary tools-and fix it right.
He is not a jack of all trades and mas
ter Of none; but a very unusual gem
ius when it comes to repair work. He
is also an inventor of considerable skill
having five government seals or patents
the latest being an automatic shct
gun, and another pending for an au-
be made in any size that will make
butter in from one to five minutes. Not
long ago a Ford car that allied in such
peculiar manner that it would not
respond to the usual treatment, Mr.
Dowden was given a chance to apply
his magic touch and the Ford was al
right again. He repairs fine jeweled
watches, musical Instruments, sewing
machines, gas engines, monographs,
organs, dynamos, motors, shot guns and
rifles, locks, clocks. bicycles, type writ
ers, and printing presses. He is also
fine wood carver and cabinet maker.
In his home life, Mr.. Dowden is most
fortunate. Owing to handicaps in early
life, he missed the education he should
have had, but in his accomplished and
devoted wife he finds an able assistant.
They have an interesting flock of seven
children: Ellie, II; Luther, Is; Mar
win, IA; Mittie, II; Harvey. 10; Paul,

A SPLENDID PROGRAM
AT THE DIXIE PRIDE

entertainment Sunday night, June 4.
at the community theater. In spite Of
a fifty-mile round-trip to the Sabine
river and a concert at that point in

lie Ewell was highly appreciated and
called Tor an encore, readily respond

colonists.

VETERANS REUNION
MEMORABLE SUCCESS
Thirty Old Soldiers Are Royalty Enter
tanned in LeesviTle

Amid the strains Of the good old
tunes of '6I, reunion of veterans Of
the ancient strife was held at the Lees
vile Court House last Saturday, under
the auspices of the Pickett Chapter Of
the Daughters of the Confederacy.
Three parishes joined in the reunion
and the veteran soldiers from Sabine,
IDesoto and, Vernon mingled with each
other and re-told once more the tales
OF heroism and hardship Of the days of
Mr.. ], S. johnson was chairman Of
the meeting.
The program was in charge Of Mrs.
DR.. Jones and Mrs. Dr.. Smith, and the
assembly was called to order by the
chairman. Rev. Voyles opened the
meeting with prayer. Mayor Morris
was then asked to welcome the soldiers
to Leesville, which he did in a few well
chosen words.
Mr.. Richardson responded in a splen-
did talk showing that the men who had
fought and died in the war of 81 to '65
did so because they believed they were
lighting fo right. Today, he said, men
of the north and South could mingle
without any hard feelings. all the old
animositIes being wiped out long ago.
And yet, even tho the South may re-
joice with the North in the reunion of
the two, the South will never forget,
never fail to honor the men who, believ-
ing they were right, were willing to lay
down their lives that right may prevail. |
They lost and today we are glad that
they lost, yet the South is grateful and
will honor the spirit. the courage and
the ideals Of the men of '6l.
Two crosses were presented by Mrs.
Dr.. Smith.
The music was provided very kindly
by the Newllano orchestra, under the
of Prof. w. E. Martin and
some of the pieces rendered touched
he old timers in tender spots, bringing
streams of tears to their faces.
A banquet for the veterans and their
wives was rendered at the Masonic Hall

WHO PAYS UNCLE
SANS DEBTS?


Our Federal Government which we
call Uncle Sam is merely an agent of
the people. At least that is the case
50 long as democracy is our method
of rule.
Uncle Sam doing business for the
people is supposed to serve the people
IN every act. That being the case, In
Gle Sam pays no debts-he has no
debts. The expense Of running the
government falls upon the people and
they do the paying.
When Uncle Sam first began doing
business for the people. of course he
had not money with which to pay the
various officials and employees But
some Of the people had brought some
gold and silver from Europe and some
had mined little here in America, SO
Uncle Sam printed lot Of promises
to pay" called them bonds and traded
them to these people for their geld and
silver. Then he melted this up into
small coins and with these he paid off
the officials and employees for their ser
vices. These coins were called money
and the officials could take them and
go among the people and swap them
for work or products such as they need
ed. This use Of gold and silver coins
was necessary at that time when the
people had no factories and had little
export trade and had TO buy much that
they used from other countries.
But. on account Of the great power
which the few gold and silver owners
thus acquired over both the government
and the people. such money system
was very Objectionable and should not
have been prolonged after the govern
ment became well organized and be-
came supplied with its own factories
and many export products.
The gold and silver coins of course
were Of no use to the people generally
except as a medium Of exchange and
the promises to pay which Uncle
Sam had swapped to the gold and silver
owners could have been issued to his
and his employees who could
have then presented them among the
people and received their real pay in
