Mr. Leaphart has only recently started to work life insurance and overlooking the fact that he represents one of the strongest companies in the world it speaks well for him to have qualified a9 a successful agent so early. Cotton Growers. We have received cotton blooms from several of ourjsubscribers during the week since going to press last Wednesday, when we announced the first receipt of a bloom.

Gettysburg, Pa., June 30.?Over the field of Gettysburg where the blue and gray fought 50 years ago the soldiers of peace from the North and South, th6 East and West trooped today to the tented city of brown where they will live in the four days of semicentennial celebration. It was an army united in sentiment and united intact, for the blue linked arms with the gray. They marched the dusty roads together from the village; they^sat down at the same mess tables and they talked oyer the war tonight. If there was any rancor in any heart, any feeling of bitterness, it did not comeAto the surface and over the broad expanse of the "city'' reunions of former foes went on hour after hour. Officials of the regular army in charge of the camp tonight estimated that nearly 15:000 veterans came in during the day, bringing the total close to 40,000, probably the greatest assembly that ever met on Gettysburg field after Lee and Meade left it to glory and to history.
