RETURN OF FLAGS. Zcmmanding General of Veterans Expresses Appreciation of the Action of Congress. The following general orders, of particular interest to the Confederate veterans, have been issued by Gen. Le-e: Rdqrs. United Confed. Vets., New Orleans, March i, i9o5. General Orders No. 26. i. The general commanding feels that he would be derelict in his duty to his old comrades who have honor ed him in making him commander-in chief of this great federation did he not give expressioni to the feeling of satisfaction that fills the heart of every Confederate veteran in contem plating the heartiness and unanimity in which the national legislature pass ed the bill restoring the Confederate datle flag to :he several states. and the readiness with which the measure a approved by the president. This action is buit a fresh evidence that there are now in our grand country no sectional lines-no south, no north east or west: but that we are all Americans, devoted to one common country. 2. The general commanding takes occasion, in view of this era of good jeeling shown by the congress of the 'United States and the president, to -rge upon all parties, north or south, who have colors in their possessi'on, -to return them at once to the state capitols. In such depositories these highly prized relics can be properly .cared for; and they should all be gathered there at the earliest moment *He indulges the hope that this wish may be complied with, and that pri vate parties many manifest as much brotherly feeling as the national au thorities. 3. The general commanding is sat isfied that the display in the various state capitols of these precious heir looms, which represent the highest devotion, the greatest self-sacrifice, the most persistent courage witness ed in modern warfare, will do a great deal to stimulate the patriosism of the rising generation. Theseevidences of bravery on the part of their fathers cannot but add to the pride that our children feel in the heroic and daring exploits of their ancestry, and it is the surest way to encourage and -magnify that feeling of love of coun try and willingness to die for her sake 'that should be fostered at all times by thte state. 4. The commanding general desires 'that some official acknowledgement -should be made to Hon. John Lamb (himself a Confederate soldier), who intt'oduced the measure in congress, to the senate and house of representa tives, who passed it without a dissent ing voice, and to the president, who immediately approved it; and he urg es camps everywhere to at once get together and formulate resolutions .expressive of their endorsement. By command of Stephen D. Lee, . General Commanding. -Official: Wm. E. Mhckle, Adjutant General and Chief of Staff. Hdgrs. United Confed. Vets., New Orleans, March 7, 1905. Special Orders No. 27. Another great Confederate leader has gone to his reward. Judge John H1. Reagan, the las;t survivor of the Confederate cabinet, passed into rest on Monday, March 6, at his home in Pal6stine, Tex., full of years and of hionors. He was born i,~ Sevier county, Tenn., Oct. 8, 1818, and was, there fore, at the time cf his death, in his 86th year. He began life under very adverse 'circumstances, but this fact only served to call forth that indomi rable pluck and determination that were ever marked features of his whole career. Whether engaged in the daily labor of the farm or fighting Indians on the border, or discharging the duties of an attorney at law, of administering justice from the bench, er serving the state or national leg islature, he was ever the same thorough painstaking patriot. By close application to all that he un dertook, he made a complete success of every detail, and won plaudits from -all with whom he wa's associated, 'whether of his own or the opposing -party. His wonderful ability was best shown in the management of the pos .?a .a.fis of the Confederate grovern Horses,N The best the State. F ceived. Pric( GQuati C men: when he was postmaster gen cral. With all the disadvantages with which he had to contend, by his dogged determination and unceas ing labors. he gave the south a fair service, and adopted a system that those qualified to judge, say was al most perfect, and c -ie that the gov ernment of tod.y -ould wisely and advantageously follow. He was devoted to his dear south land, and was never too weak or too weary :o take up pen to defend his people from attack.c of every nature. That he might meet his beloved as sociates, he would often, at great in convenience to himself, attend the annual. reunions of the United Con federate Veterans and always had something of importance to say to those whom he had journeyed so far to meet. Kindly in disposition, though naturally reserved; terse and expressive in speech; forcible and impressive as a writer-he was a southern patriot, pure and unstained in thought and utterance and has left a record which his Confederate as sociates will ever cherish, and the whole country can point to with the greatest pride. By command of Stephen D. Lee, General Commanding. ' Official: Wm. E. Mickle, Adjutant General and Chief of Staff. Hdqrs. United Confed. Vets., New Orleans, March T, 1905. General Orders No. 25. The general commanding learns, with the greatest pride and pleasure, of the efforts that are being made by the ladies of the Robert Patton chap ter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy of Cincinnati, Ohio, headed by that zealous and indefatiga ble worker, Mrs. Mary Ptton Hud son, to properly care for the Confed erate dead on Johnson's Island. Two hundred and six of our dead comrad es occupy this "God's Acre," far, re moved from their dear southland, and this little band of noble and patriotic women, located in a northern sute, has done much in the past to beautify these graves, and is now putting forth extra exertions to buy the cemetery,] improve it, and then build a monu ment over the dead. These "Daughters of the South" are the descendants of those glorious "Women of the Confederacy" who were the mainstay of our armies dur ing our mighty~ struggle, whose self sacriicing deeds will live through eternity, and the general command ing wishes to direct particular atten tion to this most laudable effort,-and to urge camps and private individuals to make such substantial contribu tions to these beloverd "Daughters" as will enable them to complete, in the near future, the work they have so much at heart. By command of Stephen D. Lee, IGeneral Commanding. Official: Win. E. Mickle, Adjutant General and Chief of Staff. A Period of Oratory. Hon. Joh:n E. Roche of Scranton, ws. a member of the legislature dur ir.g the first Pattison administration, says the Philadelphia Ledger. He used to tell a good story about how a pretentious orator was squelched. Two young lawyers from adjoining districts had been arying during an entire session to make reputations as orators. When tfle apportionment bill was taken up one of them spoke for three hours against the bill, and when he had concluded his harrangue lules,Bu assortment resh Car Loa :s and terms iebaum SUCCES! uattlebaum 4 Prosperit for a'other lengthy ebullition in fa vor of the measure. In his peroration he said he was sorry to find his brother on the wrong side, for there was every reason why they should agree. "Did I understand you to say that you were born on the same day?" in terrogated a member from Philadel phia. "Yes," came the prompt reply. "On the very same day?" "Yes, sir." "Then it must have been a very windy day." A Record Breaker. London Globe. Among the army of London car riage drivers is an Irishman noted for his native wit. It stood him in poor stead one day, however. Pat was en gaged by a gentleman to drive to a hydropathic establishment. On arrival at the gate the man in quired, "What's your fare, driver?" "Well, sir," said Pat, "the manest jintleman I ever drove here gave me 2 shillings." "Is that so?" exclaimed the gentle man, who was a bit of wag. "Well, here's a shilling for you, my man. I like the idea of breaking records." Thou, my friend, would like to know Why tair twin roses blush and blow In baby's cheeks? I'll tell thee, They're nourished by .'TEETHTNA." See?

The public is aroused to a knowledge of the curative merits of that great medicinal tonic, Electric Bitters, for sick stomach, liver and kidneys. Mary H. Walters, of 546 St. Clair Avenue, Columbus, 0., writes. "For several months, I was given up to die. I had fever and agu.e, my nerves were wrecked; I could not sleep, a-id my stomach was so weak, from useless doctor's drugs, that I could not eat. Soon after beginning to take Electric Bitters, I obtained relief, and in a short time I was entirely cured." Guaranteed at W. E. Pelham & Son's drug store; price 50c. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLE MENT.
