.
Dedicated to th Confederate SoMleia.
Time hn borne me from the legion,
I have passed from earthly strife,
Death has pierced the vita region
And I've yielded up my life,
Another roldier's gone, in dying
Perhaps you'll m'i88 me, comrades
brave,
Another foriqjs now lying
In a Confederate soldier's grave.
Well you know when we enlisted,
'Twa to gain our country's right,
And we faithfully asaiated.
Standing in the hottest fight
Yes, amid the cannon's rattle.
Where the Yankees poured, their
fire,
We have stood the awful Dattle,
Facing all the dreadful ire. . ;'.
Oh I my comrades, howl Joyed you,
Friends to all, but you "most, dear,
May the God of Battles keep you.
Still guard your life while here.
Long, my comrades, we've survived
The life our brothers gave.
Much we bore and long we waited,
But now we're going comrads brave.
Hark 1 1 thought the legion shouted I
What is that which greets my ear?
AH pur earthly toes are r6uted,
Cheer I my comr..des, cheer!
Comrades, triumph springs from
trouble,
Bravely, nobly, firmly stand.
Heaven will grant you more than
double,
Soon we'll meet in freedom's land.;
Stand up closer, comrades, closer,
The ranks are glowing thin,
Soon we'll meet beyond the river
Free from strife and earthly sin, .
Then -we'll meet our noble captain,
And our comrade gone before,
And we'll talk of all our triumphs,
Praise the God. of Battles evermore.

A Letter From St JebiiWajilngtoa.
Mb. Editor: Perhaps a few
lines from this part of the
"far.West'l.raayintereetyour
many readers: . The wheat
harvest here is about over
and nearly all the wheat is in
the warehouses;' Harvest be
gins in July and lasts until
the first of Oct. At Willada
there nre about 200,000
bushels. At St. John seven
miles East on the same line
of R. R. there are from 400
to 500,000 bushtls. Wheat
is selling from 70 to 75 cts,
per bu. so you see that mil
lions of dollars will come to
tbiscouutry for wheat this
ypar, One man at Willada
raised 17,000 bushels. It has
been dry for two mos., there
has not been enough rain in
Eight cents . a pound
what a young woman paid for
twelve pounds of flesh.
She was thin and weak and
paid one dollar for a bottle of
Scott's Emulsion, and by tak
ing regular doses had gained
twelve pounds in weight before
the bottle was finished
Eight cents a' pound is
cheap for such valuable ma
terial. -Some pay more, some
less, some get nothing for
their money. You get your
money's worth when you buy
Scott's Emulsion. . ,
We will send you a little
free. ,'' .' ' :

Men often cannot see the

on Sunday. We. hear the
sound cf the threshing ma
chine on Sunday, Sunday is
kept only by a law us a sa
cred dty. Stores ar kept o
pen for trade on Sunday, Al
though there is a law in this
stale prohibiting trade on
Sundays in stores, yet it is
violated every Sunday jnd
the officers of the country
appenr to encourage its vio
lation instead of punishing
offenders. As tbd nights are
growing long and cool the
revellers are beginning to
dance. There are da nces in
all the towns all through the
winter spason. Next season
the courts will havea harvest
of divorce cases. It is said
that thnre are more divorce
cases in the courts here than
there are marriages. Where
the marriage is only a tempo
rary convenience as it is here
in a majority of instances so
riety, slumbers over a moral
volcano. I think God's word
makes provision for divorce
for only one cause and that
is adultery or fornication
but makes no provision for
second marriage while the
parties are, living. When
(tod's lawa are violated some
body suffers. .

There is no one to sa
what is in the mind: of a Re
publican campaign manager
when, he makes a prophecy
or sends out a warning; and
so we do not know what Mr.
Babcock, chairman of the
Republican congressional
committee tneant a few days
ago when he warned the ad
ministration the fight for the
next House would be close,
or what he means now when
he says: ''As matters stand,
we are likly to Ipse the
Hourh of Representatives,"
It may b his purpose to stir
np his own people, if so, it
eould have the double pur
pose of. stirring h Domo

ly districts in the State in
which there are serious con
tests and for this reason they
are singled out. Supposing
a result of the presidential
e'ection which we do not at
all concede, viz: the election
of Mr.' Roosevelt, it is of the
last importance that the
Dein ocra ts con t ro' the nex t
House. With Mr. Roosevelt
elected President, with a Sen
ate and MouHe of bis party,
there would be everything to
inspire the gravest forebod"
ings in the p e o p I e of the
bouth, who know something
of his feeling toward them al

er, there is every reason to
believe that he would cause
things to go hard with us,
and tbe Southern man who
votes against him and a-
guinst every candidate for
Congress who represents his
patty, will be merely perform
ing an ordinary act of self d
fence. .A Democratic House

voters in the eighth and

When the. newspapers in
London refer to President
Roosevelt's call for an inter

a bit of political play inci
lent to the presidential cam

Great Britain, as well as the
United States, is going Dem
