The letter from Wrighlsv JR re¬
garding the flag «<f tlie Dixie Boys
has aroused a great deal of inter-
ost among the few survivors of
that loyal hand, Before the ink
had hardly dried on the first art
c!e, Mr. T. J. Humphries, a Dixie
Bov, was readv with all the mis«-
ing details of the story.
It was Miss Mattie Seward, now
Mrs. .Johmon of Los Angeles, Cal ,
that presented the flag fo the
Dixie Boys, Mrs. II. W, Iloj>-
kins is a sister of Mrs. Johnson’s.
Wm. Barcaloo of Brunswick
was colonel of the regiment and
Hence Guyton was its Lieutenant
Oohuiel. Lucius Bryan one of
the fathers of the Times Enter¬
prise, commanded the Dixie Boys
us captain.
Mr. Humphries says that the
story alwiys accepted about the
saving of the colors was t) the
feet that they were brought out
by Mr. Underwood between the
folds of an officer’s saddle blan-
kel. Thepjiiit that everybody
is interested in however is that
they were saved.—Times-Enter¬

The Cotton Acreage.
The Journal of Commerce says:
“A strictly preliminary esti¬
mate of the cotton acreage of the
United States, especially pre¬
pared l*y this journal, indicates
an increase of not less than 10
I>er cent, over 1903. This increase
is smaller than anticipated. Last
year the cot!on acreage of the
United States, according to the
Department of Agriculture, was
28,907,000 acres, and an increase
of 10 per cent, would mean an
addition of about 2,900 acres.
“The increases by states are as
follow s:
“North Carolina, 14 48; South
Carolina, 8; Georgia, 0.4; Flori¬
da, 18.1; Alabama, 7.3; Mississ¬
ippi, 8.0; Lousinna, 14.2; Texas,
0; A rkansas, 8.8; Tennesee, 13.9
Missouri, 19.4; Indian Territory,
30.4; Oklahoma, 25.7.

THE OLD HYMNS.
There 'k lots o' music iu’em—the
of Ion# ago,
An' when some gray-haired brot hoc
the oiKis I used to know
I sorter want to take a handj-l
o* days gone by:—
'On Jordan's shm iy banks I stand
cast a wistful eye I **
There's lots u’ music iu ’em—those dear
sweet liynms of old,—
Wifli visions bright of lands of light, and
shining streets of gold ;
And I hoar cm’ ringing—singing, where
Mem’rv dreaming, strands,
“From Greenland’s icy mormtaius t0
India's coral strands.”
They seems to sing forever of hotter
sweeter days,
When the lillies of the love of God
bloomed white in all the ways;
And I want to hear their music from the
old-time moorin' s rise
Till “I cau read my title clear to mnu-
slows in the skies.”
Wo never uoetlod singia' books m them
old days—we knew
The words—the tunes of every one the
dear old hymn-book rhrongh!
We didn't have no truniphets then—no
organ's hnilt for show:
We only sang to praise the Lord 4 ‘from
whom all blessings flow.”
An so, I love the good old hymns, and
when my time shnll come—
Before the light has left me, and my
singing lips are dumb,
If I cau oniy hear ’em then, I’ll l>ass
without a sigh

where my possessions lie i'*

Cured his Mother of Rheumatism.
“My mo,her had been a suffer¬
er for many years with
tism,” suvs \V. II. Howard, of
Husband Pn. “At times she was
unable to move at all, while at
all times was walking painful. I
presented her with a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Pain B'-dtn and af¬
ter a few applications slti decided
it was the most wonderful pain
reliever she had ever tried, in
fact, she is never without it now
and is at all times able to walk.
An occasional application of Pain
Balm keeps a way the pain that
she was formerly troubled with.”
