I v^ant to say in connection with/vhat, I have already said about Mr. Beaver, that he is a % v wonder in every sense of the word. He has one of the mosi remarkable memories of anyone that it has ever been my pleasure to meet. I do not believe .1 ? 1:?? ?... iLitrit* 15 <i (imuu living ui kjii* that has died in that section ui the country, whom I have known many years since he lived there that he can't talk and tell of, who they were and who they married To 1q!1 the truth, I think he can take a sheet of paper and a pencil and draw a complete map oi that country, which was so familiar totme, and which 1 knew so well as a boy and young man. ' It was very refreshing to me to hear such vivid and accurate descriptions of the old settlement in which we were both brought up. Now to the great surprist of many who are now living there who knew Mr. Beaver is - *- -J !_ _ _l _ mai ne ana nis gooa wiie art both members of the Baptisi church, and are consistent Chris tians. He informs me that ht greatly detests any form of hy pocracy and believes that anj one who professes to be a Chris tian should show it by his ever} day life among those whom*heA live. There is no put on abou him. Every action of his life l! Ari.Yinal In Ifo xharaolur A main i^iuai iu no vuaiuviv.il xi^uiu I repeat he fs a wonder. Mr. Beaver by hard work, ir and out of season, rain or shine day or night, has accumulated i fortune and a* he ;ql<l math* when he atid my own aunt be gan planning for life, they de cided to work and saye unti they had enough to live out thei old age without becoming a bur den to any of his own connec tion, or any one else, and he hai that now but still persists in hi: ideas, and says that if he shouk live to be as old as his mothei who liked only nineteen days o being 102 when she died, that ht might run out of soap, so tc N speak. His mind is so clear or subjects connected with the war and he never tires of relating hi; experiences during those memo rable days, and of the .hardship; that he had to go through with that it was astonishing tc sit anc listen to him, and then to thinb he cannot read a line and that i was all from memory of wha /really happened, I could bu reach one conclusion, and tha was, what a pitv that such i wonderful mind could not have been given the advantage of ar education. He sayp be has seer the need of it thousands of times that it would have aided him sc much in a business way. Now I will ask a personal fa vor of his kinsmen and any oth ers who knew him, to write him He tells me that it would be s great pleasure to hear from them and as his good wile is a gooc writer he will answer any ant all correspondence. Now let m< bag all liberty loving kinsmer Who well remember him, to no / forget him and the manhood h< ' so courageously disnlaved ir those dark days when' the souls of men were put to test, and he was found right there. Write and render him every service L possible. Comfort the men whe I wore the Gray, in their last dayi I among as. Let ine beg of the I' men and women of today not tc I forget the soldiers of the war 01 I i the Sixties. Now let's see whi I will be the first to write him, at I he ba$ told me he would let me know. Senator Newberry "Resigns" The State > -Senator Tburman H. Newberry lias "resigned." He.has been booted out of his cj bought seat in the Senate by the indignant people ot the United , States, / sa Rut call it a "resignation." Even as a "resignation." it is a futile confession of corruption and a fatuous "gesture" of howing to the condemnation of the publiQ. It comes too late. The time for Newberry to have made 01 such a "gesture" passed when he decided to cling to his tainted m seat in the Senate after his conduct had been condemned by a ,, u Uj jury. It was arrogantly and superciliously stupid to await the tliunderous yeidict of the ballots against "Newberryism."
