pomattox Courthouse, Virginia, Gen
eral Robert +. Lee. surrendered to
General Ulysses S. Grant. This
marked the virtual close of the Civil
War.
The Confederate hero and his cour-
ageous boys in gray had made
their last stand.
Today the boys in blue" are max
ing their last stand. In Marion
County there are perhaps 400 OF
them. or this number. only about
200 are able to leave their homes,
to gather with their comrades at the
C y. r. Home. 512 n. Illinois st.

again the battles of more than half
a century ago. For these boys"
who knew no surrender when they
were fighting behind Grant, are re-
treating before two enemies who

for the election of seven commissions
