Harry Sluipo, aged tbirtj’, employed as a farm hand at Chardon, O., left last summer to secure a legacy, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. He returned recently. Shupe ordered a room with a fire at the Park hotel. The clerk in formed Shupe that the fire would be extra.

On the other side, the landlords South .. oppressed with sorrow Ye.. "ofSL^se.^; % whTthe* the civilized world will pause in the orchard3 wou i d do wen, it would be mad rush of life and bestow a thought their delight to see all their renters upon his heroic deeds and his pure, come and get fruit. The renters felt lofty character and heave a regretful sigh that he shall walk this earth with martial tread no more. How our heroes are passing from our sight! How the silent camps on the invisible shore are growing, and the thin gray line on this |side of the river is dwindling and falling away! Hampton, Long- street, Gordon ! These are no longer men but only names. Yet names that will conjure up memories of that they had a right to go and get fruit from “the big house,” but they had no more right to get that fruit than to plant trees on their rented farms. I am quite sure that the land own- anmndin? and er8 would have had no objection to " that, and, on the other hand, it would " ' show that the renters were not afraid to do something for themselves for fear that thty might do something for the land owners. Mr. Wm. Jefferies, of Home, has one of the best orchards, or did have about fifteen years ago, in this county, and he was one of the grand characters and knightly deeds 1 most generous men with his fruit that —names that will live forever in their country’s history as synonyms for patriotism and deathless valor. We associate these three because they were associated in life, and be cause they have not long been divid ed in daeth. We would that we could apeak of all three in terms of equal admiration. But though, in our opinion ,the subsequent conduct of one was unworthy of his fame, we fshould not utter a word of reproach over his silent dust. Death has laid him as low as the humblest of mankind And God and his country will do him justice. Gordon was the last of the lieuten ant generals of the Southern Con federacy and the most conspicuous representative, since Hampton, of a grand and chivalric race that has now well-nigh passed away. He entered the war as a captain, and though without a military education, by his gallantry and sheer force of character he rose rapidly through all the gradations of otlice, until at the close of the war he was lieutenant general and in command of a corps. His utterly unselfish nature made him brave almost to recklessness. He was always in the thickest of the tight, and hie dash and daring in spired his men with enthusiastic courage. At Sharpsburg he received five severe wounds, but never left bis post until shot through the face and brought to the ground. At Seven Pines his clothing was riddled with bullets, and indeed in all the great battles in Virginia be was ever at I ever saw. His renters used to go to his orchards and get fruit by the wagon load. I hope that there will be more friendship among the landlords and tenants and that we all will have bet ter times generally. That is my wish for the new year of 1904. W. G. Patterson. Sunday School Program.
