gested from the siripes on the
coats of the continental soldiers
Some asserted that Washington’s
coat ot arms contained the stripes
and stars and thev were adopted
in compliment so him. However
Benjamin Franklin began the mov
ement for a nai n.nal flag symbo
lizing the union of the thirteen
colonies. He was the originator
of the “Grand Uniou” flag, which
was adopted from the English
ensign, under which the Ameri
cans had fought in the Indian and
French wars, and for which they
still had the sentiment of loyalty
born in the true soldier. Thisflag
has Six white and seven red stripes
designating the thirteen colonies
and the crosses of St. Georgia and
St Andrews, combined as in the
British Jack, were placed in an
upper corner. It was in 1775 that
Franklin designed the flag, and
it Ims been asserted that the 13
St' ipes were here first suggested
But there is another instance
wh ch the bqst authorities claim
is 1 0 ' first of mi Am ricau banner

THE ENTERPRISE, COVINGTON GA
presented to the Philadelphia
troop of Eight Horse a flag which
is still preserved by that organi¬
zation and displayed at it’s anni¬
versary banquets. The design of
this flag consists of an armorial
piece in the centre with the motto,
“For thee we strived,” and 13
small stripes arranged in an upper
corner. The Philadelphia troop
of Light Horse was organized in
1774, shortly after the first Con¬
tinental Congress assemblud.
When General Washington was
on his way to take command ot
the army at Cambridge in 1775 he
was escorted by the troop of Light
Horse from Philadelphia to New
York. It is therefore possible
that the design of the standard of
troop was impressed on his mind
and may have had something to
do with the selection of the 13
stripes that afterward appeared on
the national ensign.
But with all the varied stories
in regard to the origin of the stars
and stripes, all go >d Americans
raiee their hats to the fact that
the first flag was made by a wo
m &n. The design was worked into
practial form by a Philadelphia
seamstress, Mrs. John Ross, who
was tLe owner of a little upholst¬
ery store at 89—afterwards chan¬
ged to 239—Arch street. A draft
of the device that had been decid¬
ed upon was taken to Mrs. Ross
but she was doubtful as to whather
she could proparly make the flag.
It has been stated that she wanted
to see another drawing of the de¬
sign and that our great first presi¬
dent seated himself in her humble
back parlor and made a second
draft of the proposed banner.
There is one feature of the flag
that still remains as a cousiont
reminder ol the preference of
French rather than English style
by Mrs. Ross. She noticed that
the stars on the design had six
points, the same number that the
stars cu our coius bear today, and
she suggested that the five-pointed
star of the French was much neat¬
er. Since that time the stars on
the American flag have always
had the five stars. The first flag
was made by Mrs. Ross in 1776 and
after the design was adopted by
congress she receivedd regular
ployment from the government
and continued making flags for
many years, In this flag made
by Mrs. Ross the stars were ar¬
ranged in circular form to indicate
the perpetuity of the union, but
as states were added all demanfling
representation in the national ban¬
ner it became evident that our
flag world grow to enormous pro¬
portions, and so it was proposed
that the stars be increased with
the addition of each new State,
but that the stripes remain 13 in
number to correspond with the 18
original colonies. This plan has
continued up to the present.
Two New Traihs on Ga. R. R.
It has been rumored for some
time that the Georgia Railroad
would soon put on an accommo¬
dation train between Buckhead
and Atlanta, but now the rumor
is afloat and reported true that
two new accommoation trains will
be put on; one to run from Buck
j head to Atlanta and the other
from Buckhead to Augusta, Both
.
trains to leave early in the rnorn-
ing and return late in the after¬
noon.
A turn table for these train*
has already been built at Buck
head.
The putting on of the accom¬
modation to Atlanta will nnaiu
much to the citizens of Social Cir¬
cle, many of whom like to occas¬
ionally spend the day in the Gate
City, and who have heretofore
had to arise in the early morning
hours in order to catch the 3 o’¬
clock express.
Buckhead is only 21 miles below
Social Circle, the distance lrom
that point to Atlanta is 73 mile*
making a splendid and, we think,
most profitable run tor the Geor¬
gia Railroad Company-Social Cif
