At the rate the United States ia now growing, if a stripe were added for every new State admitted it would soon be im passible to find a mast or pole tall enough on which to hoist the flag.” The noted John Paul Jones has been givn credit for having been the first person to float the flag on the high seas when he ran the tricolored flag up over his vessel, the Ranger, in the year 1777. “The first salute given by a for eign power to our flag was in Qui- beron Bay, on the coast of Brittany. “Our government takes great pride in its collection of flags so carefully preserved in the great National Mus eum. Here one may see thirty Ameri can flags, each having a special bit of history to make it worthy of a place in the collection. One will find this history on a label on each flag. Some of these highly prized flags are from battle fields, and some floated during fights at sea. “Of all flags in the National Mus eum, none has a significance than the one that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the "Star-Spangled Banner” wue ee fffto Elbe!

It is older than the flag of Spain, and we of America feel sure that it stands for more than any other flag in the world. Nothing is so sure to meet with sharp and instant rebuke as any insult to the flag, and we permit no flag in all the world to afloat above it in our country. At garrisons where the flag is taken down at the close of each day the banner is never allowed to touch the ground, and the troops are taught to handle it with the ut most reverence and respect. It is probable that many people see in the flag only pretty stripes of red and whit* sewed together, with a group of white stars on a blue field in one com er, but all people should stop to think Hay. Mr. Dick Gantt paid a flying visit to Springfield a few days ago. Master John and little Rachel Stem- meyer, of Beaufort, are spending some time here with relatives. The farmers of this section are now busy marketing their melon crop*, which are, as a rule, very promising. Mr. Hughe Fowke left on Thurs day for Durham, N. C., to accept a po sition as electrician. Mr. Fowkis is a very popular young man and his many friends are reluctant to give him up. Mrs. T. B. Ellis, of Martin, was tbe week-end guest of her nephew, Mr. T. B. Ellis, Jr., and Family.
