General John B. Gordon.
Tlis death of General John B.
Gordon removes from the ranks
of southern heroes one of the most
illustrious members. The sponta¬
neous outburst of grief expressed
by the peoplo of Georgia and of
the South gives touching evidence
of the esteem end love in which
Gordon was held.
Mingled With the sorrow for the
death of a man who was great in
war is the poignant grief ot a peo¬
ple for ft man who was great in
peace. We loved him for his he-
Toic defense of the the lost ruuse,
and honored him for his master¬
ful efforts to rehabilitate a wast¬
ed country. He was the embodi¬
ment «f honor, the ideal of nobil¬
ity and a pure type of Christian
gentleman.
Those who followed him from
Manassas to Appomattox and
with him snw the Stars and Bars
furlod for the last time on the
field of battle aguut feel in the
death of their leader something of
the agony which dimmed their
©yes and choked their utterance
on that memorable occasion.
Gordon is dead but Ins memory
will be cheri»licd‘aH long as there
v
are southern lips to tell of his de¬
votion to his country in time of
peace and his inspiring courage in
time sf war.
With matchless courage and
cheerful mien lie bore the shock
of Seven Pinos, Malvern Ilill nml
Chancelloraville; through the
Wilderness the voice of Gordon
©heered the Georgia legions to vic¬
tory; he was the Blucher of Get¬
tysburg, and at Appomattox the
overpowered general but the un¬
crowned king’of countless south¬
ern hearts.
He came out of the war
one of the youngest of the
lieutenant generals, but in the
hearts of the south h > occupied a
position next to that of Lee him¬
self. Georgia needed Gordon and
theservico ho performed for the
state as n statesman wus above
reproach. The career that the
dead chieftain made was duo to
his love and understanding of the
peoplo ho served-
No more heroic figure ever faced
giim-visagod war, and no greater
genius ever strove to heal its
wounds. 11 is heart was the tem¬
ple of truth and justice and to
these his life gav utterance.

Mr i»kah Lieutenant:
I am very much indebted to you
r nr your favor of the 25th nit. iii
reply to mine of the 25th of Sep¬
tember, anont the nl.eged capture
of the colors of the 12th Georgia
regiment by the 102nd New York
Volunteers at the battle of Chan-
cellorsville May, 1853.
11 is not true that our colors
were captured on the ilrd of May,
1808. 4 4 Tlio tattered flng was
worthless as material, but pre¬
cious to the hearts of those who
carried it,” and not one man who
fought beneath its folds that
would not rather have yielded his
life than surrender the flag.
It is true that Gen. Geary of
the United Slates Army in his re¬
port to be found in Series 1, Vol.
25, part one, page 731, in the Re¬
cords of the Union and Confeder¬
ate Armie* says: “These two regi¬
ments (the GOth and 102nd New
York Volunteers) had captured
sum* thirty prisoners and a battle
flag of the enemy, the 102nd hav¬
ing captured that of the 12th
Georgia. > >
You will find in the volume re¬
ferred to the reports of General
Rhodes, General Doles, Col, Mer¬
cer, Co). Estes, Col. Funk and
others, in all of which reference
is made to the gallant conduct of
the 12th Georgia regiment; no
mention or hint of the loss of the
colors of this regiment is made by
any of them.
The reports made by Col. Ed¬
ward Willis and myself, to which
Gen. Doles refers in his report,
were lor some reason not publish¬
ed in the volume above referred
to. 1 enclose copies of these re¬
ports taken from a pamphlet en¬
titled “Memorials of Gon. Ed¬
ward Willis, C. S. Army, Com¬
mandant of the 12th Georgia Reg¬
iment,” and for which I am in¬
dented to C-ipt. A. S. Uoid and
Mr. Robert Young, both of whom
were members of the 12th Geor¬
gia and took part in the battle of
Chancellorsvill*. They both deny
the loss of tlie (lag of the 12th
Georgia.
It may bo interesting to you to
know that among the names sent
to the war departments the Con¬
federate states of those who best
displayed theircouruge and devo¬
tion on this field of butt I le appear
the names of Second Lieuten¬
ant J. A. Walkeraud l’rivateabel
Jaiiiea, Company “B,”12tli Geor¬
gia regiment. But this was not
the ouly time when Lieutenant
Walker displayed most distin-
guiahed service oil the field of bat¬
tle. That, was hi» roxird in every
engagement in which the 12th
Georgia took an active part.
With bout wishes for long life
and happiness,
Very truly yours,
Isaac Haudkman.
Dislocated Her Shoulder.
Mr*. Johanna Sodarholm, of
Fergus Fall*, Minu., fall and dis¬
located her shoulder. She had a
Burgeon get ii back in place as
s >on as possible, but it was quite
sore and pained Imr very much.
Her son mentioned that he had
seen Chamberlain’s Pain Balm ad-
vertised for sprains and soreness,
and slm asked him to buy her a
bottle of it, which he did. 7i
quickly relieved her and enabled
her to sleep, which she had not
done for several days. The sen
was so much pleased with the re-
lief it gave his mother that he has

A lieaiitifnl ClirlatmaH
Tree.
The Christinas service held at
Liberty school Thursday, Decem¬
ber 24, was thsFmost beautiful ev¬
er seen in this community. Tlie
walls of the’schoolroom were ar-
tiaeically decorated with holly and
overgreen vines, Beautiful pic-
tures, “The Birth of Christ,”
“Tlie Risen Lord,” and others
that seemed to speak so plainly of
God's handiwork were hung'upon
the walls, The evergreen vines
were draped over tlie windows and
pictures and^Rwingingf inching
graceful curves from window to
picturo’and from'picture to"fwin-
dow, forming’ unconnected chain
of green very nearly Jaround the
room. Over each door the vines
were twisted and curved in beau¬
tiful arches. High above the ros¬
trum on each side of the tree were
I irgo arches of the viius. Beneath
the uieht-s hung beautiful pic¬
tures and below the pictures were
the words: “Merry Christmas,”
the letters of which were made of
white paper and pasted on red
cardboard. The tree was beauti¬
fully draped with white popcorn
and lighted with candles.
Rev. John P. Erwin gave a
most touching talk on the birth-
of Christ. Everybody seemed vory
much interested, and as he spoke
in tender tones of the infant Jems
the spirit of peace seemed to rest
upon the audience, and tears
mingled with smiles could be seeu
on many faces. When lie had fin-
ishsd his sermon there was an in-
termission of a few minutes, after
which the schoolroom was dark¬
ened and the candles lighted.
The school then assembled and
sang a song of welcome, which was
followed by recitations, dialogues
and other songs appropriate for
the occasion. In connection with
the closing dialogue the curtains
were drawn »nd dear old Santa
Glaus came forward, congratulat¬
ed the children and wished for
them a ir.errv Christmas and hap¬
py New Year. The presents were
then distributed. Jack Frost came
to me the First Grade, bringing
them large balls of popcorn.
Nearly everyone present receiv¬
ed a present and many hearts
were insde happy.
We extend hearty oongraiula-
tiens to our teacher, Miss Jarrell,
and wish her much success.
HOW TO PREVENT CROUP.
It will be good news to the
mothers of small ,childrei to

tlie attack the child become*
hoarse. This is soon followed by
a pocular rough cough. Give

comes hoarse, or even after the
rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of cough. In
tins way avoided. alt danger and anxiety

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.
This is the season of the year
when the prudent find careful
housewife replenishes her supply
of Chamberlain’s Cough Reiuedv.
It is certain to be needed before
the winter is over, and results are
much more prompt and satisfac¬
tory when it is kept at hand and
given as soon as the cold is con¬
tracted and before it has become
settled in the system. In almost
every instance a severe cold may
be warded off by taking this rem¬
edy freely as soon as the first in¬
dication of the cold appears,
There is no danger in giving it to
children for it contains no harm¬
ful substance. It is pleasant to
take—both adults and children
like it. Buy it. and you will get
the best. It always cures.
