Flag Raising at Tabernacle. j + As announced in our last issuo Dixie Council, No. 42, Jr. O. U. A. M. presented a Bible nnd erect- j ed a tlag at Tabernacle school Aug 31st, 1904. The exercises opened at 11 o'clock n. m. Bro. A. C. Rowel 1 acted as master of cere- ( monies. At the hour named the Juniors assembled at the Woodman hall nnd formed a line clothed with the regalia of the order and marched to the speaker's stand. Tho exercises were opened by the school singing tho Star Spangled Banner. Chairman A. C. Rowell j then introduced Bro. W. C Winn -. f n;?:~ n -~:i ?- J * i/1 L>IA1? v/uuucil >VUU J)l'U8CIIie(l I the Bible and flag in a most suit-' able and appropriate speech, after I which the school sang the Red, White and Blue. At the conclusion of singiog the flag was slowly raised to the hoight of 50 feet in the air qmid loud cheers by the school boys. The chairman fhen introduced Mr. <J. N. S'ipp who had been chosen to represent the trustees to accept the Bible and flag who spoke in a most apptopriate way. Next came Professor Stewart in behalf of the school, who made a most beautiful aud instructive speech. The exercises theu closed with singing 14My Country," by the school. Benediction hv R?v. W C Winn Tho ortle?* then formed a line of march back to the hall. The chairman then announced that dinner would be sproad in the grove and nil were cordially invited to partake. Mr. Editor it ia needless for me to say that it jvas a success, for the word Junior seems to mean success, nt least a bountiful dinner was served. The' day passed off pleasantly and quietly, not one thing happening to mar the feelings of an^ one. The people of Tabernacle received us most courteously and did all in their power to make the day a* pleasant one for thh Junior Order. In behalf of Dixie council No. 43 Jr. O. U. A. M. I thank tho ' good people of Tabernacle for tho kind aud courteous manner in ' which they received us. Mr. Editor, in concluding my lettor 1 will sny that we found the people of Tabernacle a kind and generous hearted people, prosperous and energetic. Prof. Stewart, like Tillman und Z. P. Smith, is a born orator. A few words concerning the Junior Order. We believe in "the reading of the Holy Bible in our schools. Wo believe that our children should be educated in its teachings, but that no dogma or creed should be taugbt. At the same time we believe that patriot* ism, and love of country, should be instilled into the hearts of our children and the sacred words of "mother, home and heaven." Our children should be taught that our flag is the symbol of all that makes a home for us. Wo would place a flag upon every public school in our land, and n Bible within aod the object therein set forth should be a beacon light in every storm which threatens to engulf us. We believe in freedom of speech, in freedom at the ballotbox, in restricted immigration, and in this noble and patriotic work we ask i |> Art AV\AHrtl'/vM /* ^ I --A iuo V/U-U|IUIUUUU Ul Ull ^(IUU Clll? zens. Id this grand wflrk we need tby helping hand. We have no time for jealousies and bickering but with a united front we should march forward shoulder to shoulder remembering that, united wo stand but divided we fall. So come all ye good people and cast your lot with us and we will gi< e you a ride on "our billy" dressed in tho red, white and blue. 11. F. Adams, Recording secretary. ?Subscribe to The Ledger, [For The Ledger. It wns to do honor to one to l|| whom honor is due, that the neighbors, kinspcople and more distant friends of Mrs. Rachel Steele gathered at the home of her husband, Mr. Alex Steele, on Thursday, Sept. 1st, 1904. That day this venetarlo lady had attained her 71st birthday. The storm and stress of life were past, and new in tho evening of her days she would it ilioi- ?.i i 1 -, :i 1 IHVUUU I I I' I HIT I 1111dren, their children and their children, to 'ho 3rd generation. With hor, to whom man's allotted days had come, and more, it was good to meet and gieet each other; sons and daughters, grand-sons and grand-daughters. To the aged mother and grandmother the day was as one of the mile stone} on life's rugged road. She might point to the years that were past, with their struggle s, their trials, their periods of darkness and of light ? of sunshine and deepest 11! shadow, and in truth but with ^ humility exclaim *1 have fought the tight, have kept the faith,' und in Heaven's own time may hopo for the crown of eternal lifo. Do thou likewise." Upon occasions of this kind one of its chief features is the dinner; indeed, it is tho crowning triumph of tho event. Let us call it a feast an d be done with it, and so have that off our mind. Man is. some- ? bo w, so constituted that a good dinner is never a light matter with him. Somebody has said that the way to a man's heart is byway of n his stomach, and somebody else 8' says, or rather s:.ngs, that "We can live without books, what in knowledge but grieving? Weei.n li ve without hope, what is hope but deceiving ? We can live without love, what is passion but pining ? But where is the man that c.v live | 11 without dining ? ' > Sentiments similar, if not in 8 these exact terms, wc:o boubtless felt rty every one of the f.?ity?five souls who stood aroubd the flfty? foot table, spread under the trees. Talk about a table groaning under r its weight of good things! I have no/er to my snowledge, heaid 1 that n< t.: of grief as coming from a.table, but if such phenomena do occur, ibis particular table must have felt like shrieking aloud. And the company, giving heed to this cry of distress, and nothing 8 loalb, felt that among the goods *.1 /I _ J- ? * ' ? ? iuu vjoub pvoviue, not mo least is n dinner such as that upon which 1 they fell tooth and nail And a!- ] though the onslaught was vigorous and the havoc great, the number of baskets mentioned in a certain scriptural account of tho feeding of v a multitude, as having been gathered at tho close of tho feast, might easily havo been oxceeded. Neel it bo said that to every one?whose privilege it was to be tbere, it was an occasion to be re- | metubered as in overy respect most enjoyable. All joined in expressing the hope that the future may hold many repetitions of the eventful day, and bring together _ ? *_ ? i # ii again in a social ana irionaiy intercourse, all who were so happily united in an effort to testify their love and esteem for her to whom the shadows were lengthening, and before she has passed hence beyond the sunsets? beyond the hills ?far, far beyond the twilight judgments of this world, high above its mists and obscurities. In addition to the near and remote relatives of Mrs. Steole there were of friends and neighbors 1 present: Rev. W. F. Littlo and wife, Rev. Mr. Walters and son, Mr. ,jonn Lnttio, Mr. and Mrs. L?. R.
