BARNESVILLE, OA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 14. 1904.
GORDON HONORED.
API* KOI ’ll 1 ATE KXKKCIKKS AT
THE AUDITORIUM TUESDAY
AFTERNOON.
All Bartlesville assembled at the
auditorium Tuesday afternoon at
2 o’clock to join the old Confed
erate veterans in paying tribute
to the memory of their deceased
and beloved general, John B. Gor
don The exercises were in charge
of Major John T. Hunt and were
opened with music by a quartet
and prayer by Rev. J. N. Snow.
A committee of veterans was ap
pointed to adopt resolut. ons on
the death of Gen. Gordon. The
committee reported the following
which was read by Mr. J. W.
Stafford :
‘I in 1 evanoe to yourcommanda,
w• your committee submit the
f iovi:iig memorial and resolu
i mis. Comrades, Ladies and Gen
t n Our grand, glorious, cour
u o ms, mid dauntless leader and
friend. Gen. John B. Gordon is

w i; at means to you and to
in.-? N ver again shall we behold
ti eu uideur of his commanding
form imver again look into his
hat tie--eaired face, never again
feel (In magic in the grasp of his
hand, never (gain listen to the
rlntlimie truism of his eloquent
tongue
In the abandon of our grief the
pangs of pam are too great for 11s
to enumerate the records of his
glorious deeds. We know full well
the daring, tlm valor, the chivalry
of ourgreat elieiftain. and we have
told ourehildren athousnnd t imes
that Gordon next to Lee was our
ideal incarnate. History will tell
the rest.
Gordon, Gordon, Gordon, what
a name to conjure with. When you
hear it you can close your eyes
and see his dashing form leading
the charge at Sharps burg, Gettys
burg, Chancellorsville, and Ildar
his clarion voice like a bugle call
when on the field at Spottsylvania
he orders Lee to the rear, and tak
ing command leads the troops to
glorious victory. Shut your eyes,
and you se<i 4 again the battle of
Seven Pines;' foal vern Hill, Cedar
Creek, Fisher’s Hill, Fort Sted
man, and Appomattox. You see
this veritable god of war on his
black charger, you hear his com
mands urging his men on, you see
hear the thunder of the cannon,
the roar of the musketry, you see
your comrades fall one by one by
your side. You see the tattered
flag literally riddled with bullets,
and yet you move on an on fight
ing and fighting, forgetting self
and wife and children, forgetting
all save the command of Gordon.
BiU Goidon is dead to-day. The
smoke hn all cleared away, and
we are bleeding hearts
to pay tribute to the memory of
hitUjfJVe Wived so well.
AVhat can we say of him that
if!- nt )ot | K; ,.paid? Why should we
a'iftiunpt in our feeble way to give
expression to the love and respect
we*bore for him while yet alive,
and the sorrow we feel at his un
timely d* h.

Oh matchless Gordon, Oh peer i

You are with Lee and Jackson

led you along the golden streets.
Amid the shouts and glad hosan.

dead who were your comrades in
war we see you led to the great
white throne where God places on
your knightly brow the richest
rarest diadem in all his glorious

life is forced to surrender to the
God who gave it, may the recollec

your saintly 1 ife, and vour chris

to your comrades left behind that
shall lead us on through this life,
and bring us face to face with you
again in the world beyond.

This showing is one of which the
management of this institution
should he proud and the people
of town feel gratified at the suc

advertisment of the business of
Barnesville and this section. At
the close of business Dec. 81,
there was on deposit the tnag
niticent stint of $116,686.80 and
the other portions of the state
ment are in keeping with this.
This shows what liberal and con
servative dealings can do and
Mr. C. 11. Humphrey, the cashier,
and the other ollieials of the
hank are to lie congratulated on
their success.
