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.

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?

In this twilight of yours glorious day, when your brilliant life is forced to surrender to the God who gave it, may the recollec tion of your chivalrous deeds, your saintly 1 ife, and vour chris tain character be an inspiration 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.
