Every profession has IU Ignoram- and Ananias* h, and the Journa list h world Ih no exception. The "fel ler who writ the piece" about the tournament In a recent l.mue of the Anniaton Hot Bias’ combines the two qualification* in an unusual degree, and we have no doubt that investiga tion would prove him to be an adoles cent youth unhappily and unwisely asking the MinaatioiiMl In Journalism. The "yellow atreak" la certainly man- Ifmited In abundance. The Codartown and Anniaton fire men have exchanged hoNpItalitlea, and are very well pleas* d with one an other. The two Anniaton com pan lea were ao well pleased, in fact, that IkiUi wanted to come, and aa a result of the squabble among themaelvea that enaued, we regret that It ia pro bable that neither can come. The Hot lllaat’a "kid reporter"' says the price* offered are "entirely too atnall." Well, they are a little over twice aa large aa Anniaton offered when the tournament wah held there, ho "noiiny boy" la entitled lo "another| think" before lie thua Indirectly re- flecta on hla own town. The Annin- ton firemen ahould turn the hooc on the liuddlng youth, and cool down hla Imagination a little. He makea hla paper and hla town ridiculous. In apeaklng of the Hot Blast's tuU- repreaentatlon of the tournament indent and affalra generally, iheGads- den (Ala.) Dally Times-Neirs aaya: "The Hot Bloat atory that Tallade ga Ih balking la not credited here,and la believed to be the outcome of the dlaaenalona In the ranka of Anniston's firemen Information received here today la exactly to the contrary. At any rate, the* Gadsden firemen, their braaa band and hall team will Invade the Georgia city with thetr nerve and the uaiial fair racing tcama." And Cedartowu la glad that Oada- den and Talladega are eoming, and hopea the Anniaton boy a will arrange to come also and bring that kid re- IKirter along to aee hour * Imdly he la "Off.” MEMORIAL BAY HEKK. The observance here of Memorial Day waa becomingly celebrated at the 0|H*ra houae by our people under the direction of that patriotic organiza tion, the Dauglitera of the Confederacy The day waa threatening, but a good)) number of veterana and other citizens turned out, and the program aH announced In the Standard waa car rled out. The exercises were Intercat- ing throughout, and the apeech of Hon.] G. It. Hutchena proved a happy effort. That gentleman, alwuya pleaalng In ad..**i» rod entertaining on the plat form, "did htmaelf proud” Friday af ternoon In hla tribute to Southern valor ri.d hla touching reiiuirka to the old tiddlers present. He brushed a- aide the old ^Ontejitlona over which .the, civil war was waged, and breathed a commendable spirit of liar- mopy and peace as befUtlng only a -united country. The oration was appropriate, timely and patriotic, and was appreciated and applauded by Ills hearerM. The conferring of Crosses of Honor on .some veterans by Mesdames G. 8. Borders and W. A. Chapman, pres ident and vice-president respectively of local chapter of the Dauglitera, waa i^h uauiil an impressive scene. After the exercises at the lmU. the Veterans, Dauglitera and Children of Confederacy repaired to Greenwood cemetery where the graves of nearly fifty Confederate soldiers were dec orated wjth wroutha of evergreen add flowers. HOW MUCH LONGER.’ Cedartowu has shown a remarkable degree of patience with the Central Kallwity'n fyiiftcrablc depot accommo dations, when other towns are apply- ing’to the State Railroad Commission for new depots and getting them! We greatly appreciate the splendid Improvements that road Is making here with Itu fine shops, and are glad to know that these Improve ments will be even more extensive than originally planned, but -Cedar- town Is entitled to a good railway sta lion on this line, and we are of the opinion that we ought to have it right away. The present chicken-coop structure, with Its utter lack of civil ian! conveniences, Is a discredit to both city and the great Central Hall way system. How much longer must we wait for a now one? It Is with genuine regret that the patrons of our city public schools will learn that we will soon lose the servl et's of Miss Susie Gammon, one of our most efficient teachers. At the close of the present term she will go to New York to accept a much more lucrative position in that city, and where her many friends confidently predict for her a highly successful career.

It Is tho oldest known Symbol In the world, and la found In pre-hlstoric graves and ruins in all quarters of the globe. It Is carved upon the solid rock in the mountains of India.and painted up on the walls of the canyons of Arizona. It la dug up out of the ruins or the ancient Greece, and from the gravis of the Mound Builder Indians In Ohio. It is found * on Cliff Dwellers’ pottery In North America, aud upon prehis toric pottery in Brazil. It Is common In China uhd Japan. It appears on Che forehead’ of gods In the temples, and on the walls oY the rock cut and carved temples of the UuiMltas, and ulso on Bruhmlu monuments. It Is placed o*n the brehkt of thd detfd In Thibet, and ornaments the petticoats of the women of that country. It has been found In Berkshire, Kiiglnnd. and in Peru. It Is 'shown In the ruins of Algeria* and on the bronze ingots of aborigines In Aahantee. Many spec imens lmve been obtained from the Indian Burial- * Mounds of the Mis sissippi Valley, and mounds of Tenn essee And Georgia. At the present time s6me of Cite A- merltqtn Indian* use tlie SWastfVa as a sacred Symbol,* as well as In or naments or Ceremony; among them ar the Kansas or Sac Indians, and’partic ularly tin* Navajos, Pi mas and Pue blos. The Navajos weave It Into their blankets and manufacture It from sli ver. Tbi »uus \' ilson. Curator of the IT. 8. Natit.i. 1 Museum. In his book "The Swastika," says of It: "Whar .seems to have been at ell timer an attribute of the Swastika, Is Its eiu acter as a charm or amulet, as a sign or benediction, blessing, long life, good fortune, good luck This character has continued Into modern times, and while the Swastika Is recognized as a holy and sacred symbol, by at least one Buddhistic re ligious sect, it Is still used by tho common people of India, China and Japan as a sign of long life, good wishes and good fortune. “Thus was shown that In far as well as near countries. In modern as well as ancient times, this sign stood for blessing, good wishes, and, by a slight extension, for good luck.” You will find Swastika at W. W. Turner’s, the jeweler, made up lu all styles of brooches, pins, hat pins, stickpins, fobs and link buttons. Col. C. B. Willingham, of Marietta, has been here this week at the City Court of Polk as the official stenogra pher. POPULAR MAIL CARRIER YleUd to Berth—Mr. Colbert** Friend* Ketr *t HI* I fitimely llextb. Mr. Thurmond Colbert, the popular 1 mail carrier on rural route So. 5.1 passed away at noon Monday after a severe Hint a* of several day* from I measles. His wife and their four lit tle onea were all III at one time with j thfta disease, ihqf others convalescing nicely, but In the case of the husband and father the malady settled on his brain and death ensued. Mr. Colbert was Just thirty-four ! years of age. and was a member of one yf Polk's oldest and moat respect ed 'families, being a son of the late Mr. and Airs. Thompson Colbert. He i was the youngest of eleven children, j all of whom have preceded him to the other world except the eldest brother, Mr. W. R.. Colbert, now of Leakaville, Mlaa. HU wif? was Mias Pearl,daughter of Mrs. Toll Hammond of Htllesboro. whose husband died last year. Three little aon-i and one daughter—the oldest e’even and the youngest three years of age- have bleaaid their union. Funeral service* were conducted Tue«da> afternoon at the home on College street by hla pastor, Dr. C.K. Henderaou, of the lat Baptist church. Mr. "Colbert wan an enthusiastic fir man. ahd the Department attended the funeral In a body to honor the mem ory of their departed comrade. The floral tributes were many and beau tiful. Mr. Colbert was an accommodating and efficient employee in the rural postal service, and the patrona of No. csiieclally regret hla death. Strlck- n down in the prime of young man hood. his death la Indeed n sad one, I and the sympathy of the entire com munity goes out to the bereaved. GRADE CEMETERY HILL. One of the worst hills in this vi cinity In that on Rockmarl street, which la ho high and steep as to be a serious hindrance to country peo ple coming Into town with heavy-loads from that direction. The hill la com- l*os'd of excellent road-making ma terial which could be profitably used lsewhere. We would not favor cut ting the hill to any great extent,both on account of the great expense and the poaalble damage to adjacent prop erty, but the grade can and should be considerably lowered. The County Commissioners are anx ious to secure the chert from this hill for building up some low places on the Cave Spring road, where it ia badly needed, and we hope that the Commissioners and our city authori ties can make a deal that will be mu tually profitable to both the county and the municipality. The editors of The Standard had the pleasant opportunity Qne day last w*e»lc of "feeling like millionaires," thanks to the kindness of General Superinten dent Witt,of the Gulnesboro Telephone Co., who let us see a njee section, of Folk county scenery in hla fine aiito- Ynobile. Rev. A. A. Pittman of Lime Branch, the President of the Polk Farmers’ Union, aud Rev. W. A. Cheat wood, of Kockmart, the Cqunty Organizer,were here Saturday to organize the Cedar- town Local of that growing order. Mr. W. C. V. Schliestett was elected President, and Mr. W. O. Cornelius as Vice President, and both of these ex cellent farmers were selected to at tend the County meeting at Rockmart tomorrow,—the former as a delegate und the latter as warehouse repre sentative. ' Klsewhert* ih this issue we publish a card from citizens' of the Ellis Chapel 'community complaining of the disgraceful actions of a cyowd of drunken men and boys on the high way Inst Sunday. .The Legislature recently passed one of the best laws ever enacted In Georgia for the pro-* tection of country people, making drunkenness on'the highway a mis demeanor. Judgelrwln has given good fines for this very offence at the pres ent term of the City Court.and aa thla was on Sunday and in the vicinity of a church, we are sure the miscreants will "wish they hadn’t" If brought before his court. Ex-Governor R. B. Blalock.tho Chief Executive of Georgia during the stormy days of reconstruction, died Saturday at Albion. N. Y. He came South before the war. and when hos tilities began cast his fortunes with the people of his adopted home. After the war, like Gen. Longstreet and a lew others, he believed it to be the best policy for the South to adopt the politics of the then dominant party, and was made Governor of Georgia. Himself an upright gentleman, his administration was scandalized by an Ignorant and venal Legislature and the horde of unscrupulous carpet-baggers which then infested every Southern capital. After his retirement from office, he remained as a resident of Atlanta, and ranked a3 one of Geor gia's most progressive and public- spirited citizens. me NEW PERFECTION Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove The different 00 Stove The improved On Stove Give* best results.
