"The historian and poet is yet to
bo horn who will justly tell the world
the whole story of the bravery and
heroism of the men of iron nerve who
composed the Confederate army."?
Rev. A. A, James in memorial address.
It is a matter of congratulation
that so many of our people turned
out to hear the address of Rev. A. A.
Jamos at the memorial exercises
Wednesday, The speech was a capital
one, and the spirit that shows
appreciation for heroism is one of the
sure foundations of a free manhood.
mere may do some wao iooj mat a i
this talk and oratory and placing of
Mowers is unnecessary. There have
always been such mercenary spirits
in the world. But those who perpetuate
our free institutions and in
whose hands our liberties arc s.ifc,
are those who do not forget to h it.or
the memory of our dead heroes.
The terrible disaster that devastated
Topeka, ^Kansas, hist, week
brings to light a fact that has boon
demonstrated a thousand times before:
There arc heroes everywhere.
The brave work of rescue, tlie seifforgetfulness
manifested by those engaged
in it, the fearful personal risk
that many took in trying to save the
helpless and the aged reveal to the
world the fact that heroes abound.
There is another striking tiling
b'ought to light by the horrors of the I
Moods and fires. In tho full account
of the disasters there was mention
made of but one looter. Usually
there are many of these ghouls following
in tho wake of these fearful
calamities. They pillcoge houses,
rob dead bodies, and commit many j
shameful abuses. It is refreshing to :
read that in all the upheaval eager.- !
dered by the Topeka Mood in whi h 1
two hundred lives arc I )st and mil- j
lions of dollars worth of property de- ;
stroyed, there was seen but one brute
who thought of his rier-iinnl /Mir' -U.
mont and was willing to help it on by
robbing the dead, while hundreds
were throwing themselves heroically
into the work of rescue.
Two brothers, John and Bill were
on their way to a Baptist association.
John said to Bill: "I aint never
heard you make a speech; now, I
want you to make one today." Sure
enough, Bill got up that day and
launched into a Hood of oratory. He
yelled, foamed at the mouth, mopped
olT the perspiration, gesticulated?in
short, went through the whole thing,
and that too in a way that highly
pleased his brother John. . When
they got out on the grounds for dinner
John said: "Bill I'm proud of
you. You did splendid. I didn't
know it was in you," To these
highly complimentary remarks
Bill replied: "Huh! That aint
nothin' to what I kin do."
Maybe this good brother unconsciously
showed what is doubtless pretty
deeply rooted in human hearts?conceit.
Most Of US havfl lenrnftrl fn
hide it from tho world's gaze, but in
large or small degree, it is lodged
within our breasts. Possibly it was
not conceit in Bill. It may have
been a confidence born of effort. The
young boy tries to learn to swim. It
is when considerable < tTort is put
forth that ho finally reaches the point,
that he is willing to plunge in and
trust himself to tho water. Tho
moment he does so, he finds that he
can swim, and tho act of swimming
a few strokes brings into his little
breast a flood of confidence and satisfaction.
To learn that one Is able,
creates within the mind n sense of
* ability that readies beyond past i
achievements. Doubtless much of
the world's progress is owing to this
very fact.

FA'J. KY 1. I HI?.'
Several years n?ro a small nieture
came out in some of tlie papers. The
picture showed nn oM sheep, lean t
and lank with eyo plashes on hcrj
nose and her knitting in her hinds. !
? I
She was seated on a broken down
fence and looking out nt half a dozen
lambs that were gamboling out in
the nearby meadow. One was reared
on its fore feet, nnothcr on its hi 111:
feet, one was leaping in mid-air, another
stood on its head, while various
other positions were assumed by the;
rest of them. The old sheep was j
looking on with a frown upon her
faco and underneath the picture were;
these words: "We never did th.it
way when I was a girl." It is too
often the case that older people fur- ;j
get that they wore once children. |
They have allowed the struggles of j,
life to harden them. Now and then I
one meets an elderly man or woinv.n ! ;
that seems to ho really provoked that "
| anybody should he pleasant and
i should seem to be having a good .
time. These poor souls have had the ,
j sweets of their hearts turned into
vinegar. They are a burden to the
world. They carry a cloud with
j them wherever they go. They delight,
to talk of funerals and fusses and of
| the good old daj s that have forever
passed. Some of these sober souls
\ think it a sin to laugh and have
j pulled down the corners of their
I mourns uritn tJicy look a fright.
These very same sober, solemn sheep
were once as frisky lambs us any
to be found in the flock. They have
forgotten?and, what is worse, grown
hard. This is bad for the lambs,
and worse for the old sheep. The
heart must be kept young. Let grey
hairs come, let the body stoop and
diminish with the passing of the
years, But keep the heart young,
i Stay in touch with the young people.
Smile with them in their homeless
mirth. By doing this you may save
them from the real dangers that
arise, and will certainly have a more
delightful journey yourself. There
are old people in the world whose
grey hairs do not drive away the
children, but on the other hand, seem
j to attract them. There are sweet
old grandmothers whose ready smile
and general sympathy makes the
young heart how before them in willing
homage. Thero aro dear old
grandfathers whoso sereno and subdued
gentleness is the delight of children.
They can see somo good in the
rising generation, and tho rising genoration
sees some good in thorn. It
is not every one that grows old gracefully,
but is a gcodiy thing to do,
and gives to age a power and influence
over the young that is good to
behold.

List Wednesday and Thursday
there were good showers of rain in
mis community winch tint much
good to crops and gardens. Stands
of cotton on red ground arc not good,
but it is hoped the late rains wijl
bring up the seeds in the ground and
complete the stands.
I did not get in a letter to Tin:
Timf.s last week as I did not return
from New Orleans in time. I traveled
by the Southern ltailway which
cirried me by Birmingham and Mobile
and I lay over niglrs in these
fdaces and also lay over in Atlanta
and Woodstock, Ga., on my return.
The crops all the way lrom Joursville
to New Orleans, except a email
belt about Sclma, Ala, are very
p? or, much of the cotton crop had
just been planted and a great deal of
corn land bad not been planted.
There is but little wheat to be seen
Bong the road and the same can he
said of oats. I did see, however, a
few line fields of each.
The New Oileans reunion hvs

and read bv the pe pie and is now a
thing of the past, but I will say a
few things about it and other things
I saw on the way. I did not mret

from the West. These old familiar
faces all seem to be well presetved
and indicate prosperity.

of Union, attended the reunion, also
Mrs. Dr. M. W. Chambers, of Joncsville.
New Orleans is a large, quaint
old city whose business is great, but
the city looks old and wanting in
modern architecture. I did not see
a single sky scraper in the city. The
city was more than equal to the task
of entertaining the great crowds and
the reunion committee surpassed anything
I have yet seen in feeding the
veterans at uic great mess hall at
the fair grounds free of charge. The
daily rations consisted of 800 pounds
coftec, four tons of fresh meats, six
thousand pounds of bread, 3 barrels
of sugar, 50 cases of canned goods,
75 sacks of Irish potatoes, 4 sacks
of onions, 1,800 pounds of sausage,
2,000 pounds of boiled ham, 315
bottles of catsup, besides prunes and
bananas in great quantity, which
continued for four days.
