Confederate Flags.
Magazine of American History*
The first Confederate flag was the
stars and liars, a blue field and three

erate flng and the stars and stripes
looked at a distance bo much alike that
it was hard to distinguish one from the
other. Gen. Beauregard, thinking that
serious mistakes might be made in rec
ognizing our troops, after the battle of
.July 18, at Blackburn Ford, ordered
that a small badge should be worn
the left shoulder by our troops, and
I was chief quartermaster, ordered me
to purchase a large amount of red flan
nel and to distribute it to each regi
ment.
"This Confederate batt ; e-flag was
adopted in September, 1861, and was
designed by Generals Johnston and
Beauregard. Red was its color, with a
blue St. Andrew’s cross reaching from
corner to corner and white stars on the
cross representing the different South
ern States. The women of the South
made these flags by hundreds out of
their red and blue silk dresses. Miss
Constance Cary, who afterwards be
came Mrs. Burton Harrison, the well-
known novelist, was one of the three
Southern girls who made the first three
battle-flags
"I saw such a pretty woman at a dis
advantage the other night,” the little
real widow was saying. "She was
married. She was sitting at a table
with some other pretty women and
handsome men and her husband. Her
husband began to flirt outrageously
with one of the women. I wish you
could have seen the look that came
over her face. Everybody in the room
saw how distressed she was.
"Now, what I want to know is this:
Why didn’t she go to work and flirt
with one of the handsome men to get
even? Anyone of them was quite ready
and willing; but, no, wives never seem
to be able to do that. They just sit
ready to cry, with everybody noticing.
"That’s the advantage we real wid
ows have over wives. We don’t have
to sit and watch our husbands flirting
with other women. We know where
they are, and we also know that \yhat-
ever they may chance to be doing, they
are probably not llirting.”
Of Pablo Sarasate, the famous vio-
lin'st, who died at Biarritz, a New
York musician said the other day :
"I dined with Sarasate during his
last American tour. We talked of suc
cess, and he declared that success was
due in the main to exceedingly hard
work.
" ‘To become a great violinist or a
great pianist,’ he declared, ‘one must
have the exaggerated ideas of work
that prevail among Scottish farmers.’
"He said that a young boy got a job
with a Scottish farmer once.
" ‘ "Ye’ll sleep in the barn,” the
farmer said, "and I’ll expect ye out in
the field lika morn at four o’clock.”
Very well, sir,” said the boy.
" ‘But the first morning he overslept
a little and it was half-past four when
he reached the field.
" ‘The farmer, leaning on his hoe,
gave him a blank look.
Where have ye been all the fore
noon??” he growled,” ’ ”
A minister's wife, a doctor’s wife
and a traveling man’s wife met one
day recently, and were talking about
the forgetfulness of their husbands.
The minister’s wife thought her hus
band was the most forgetful man liv
ing because he would go to church and
forget his notes, and no one could make
out what he was trying to preach
about.
The doctor’s wife thought her hus
band was the most forgetful, for he
would often start out to see a patient
and forget his medicine case, and,
therefore, travel miles for nothing.
“Well,” said the traveling man’s
wife, "my husband beats that. He
came home the other day and patted
me on the cheek and said: ‘I believe I
have seen you before, little girl. What
is your name?’ ”
It is told of a Michigan editor that he
grew tired of lying about people in
obituary notices, and then have people
call him a hypocrite, so he wrote up one

FOR AGED PEOPLE.
Old People Should be Careful in
Their Selection of Regulative
Medicine.
With advanced age comes inactive
bowel movement and sluggish liver.
Nature ie unable to perform her proper
functions and requires assistance. Oth
erwise, there is constant suffering
from constipation and its attendant
evils. Old foiks should never use
physic that is harsh and irritating.
We have a safe, dependable and alto
gether ideal remedy that is particular
ly adapted to the requirements of aged
people and persons of weak constitu
tions who suffer from constipation or
other bowel disorder. We are so cer
tain that it will cure these complaints
and give absolute satisfaction in every
particular that we offer them with our
personal guarantee that they shall
cost the user nothing if they fail to
substantiate our claims. This remedy
is ealed Rexall Orderlies.
Rexall Orderlies have a soothing,
healing, strengthening, tonic and regu
lative action upon the dry, relax mus
cular coat of the bowel. They produce
a natural, successive contraction and
relaxation of the muscular fibres of the
bowel walls, generating a wave-like
motion which forces their contents on
ward and outward; thus simulating
nature in perfect bowel movement.
They also remove all irritation, dry
ness, soreness and weakness. They tone
time without inconvenience, do not
cause any griping, nausea, diarrhoea,
excessive looseness, flatulence or other
disagreeable effect. Try Rexall Order

The constant going back and forth of
Italian wage-earners and their almost
ceaseless carriage or transmission of
cash give them special interest in the
financial view. Other immigrants send
their savings to help parents and de
pendents in the old country. The Ital
ians do that, too, but they also send
accumulations for their own establish
ment in their own sunny land. The
transfer of $62,000,000 in a single year,
as indicated by the above figures for
1908, becomes of important effect on
the national prosperity of Italy.
“A Pretty Posy.”
New York Times.
Whether it was a mistake or a joke,
or simply an example of bad taste, is a
question that is still puzzling most of
the passengers. But no matter about
that; it certainly was a floral master
piece. Full four feet it stood from the
ground, in the form of a cross. Roses
white and roses red composed the body
of the cross and dainty white blossoms
and green leaves formed the trimmings.
In the center the word "Peace” was
spelled out in rosebuds.
Everybody in the car admired the
offering, and when the boy set it down
on the floor all leaned forward to ex
amine it more closely. At length one
old gentleman stood up and readjusted
his glasses in order to get a better
look at it.
"That is a mighty pretty posy you’ve
got there,” he said. "Who, may I
ask, is dead?”
The boy giggled.
"Nobody ’t I know of,” he said.
“This ain’t for a funeral; it’s for a
wedding.”
The old gentleman sat down heavily.
"Good Lord!” he said. "What idiot
ever ordered ‘Peace’ inscribed on a
wedding decoration?”
The rest of the passengers smiled,
and many of them, being married,
wondered as well, but nobody ventured
an explanation.
Mrs. W—— went shopping one after
noon, and little George, taking advan
tage of her absence, committed many
misdeeds. On being told later of his
misbehavior, she promised the little
truant a whipping.
Evidently pondering over the punish
ment which was to visit his bad con
duct, never once did the guilty boy
raise his head during the entire 3upper,
but when the meal was finished he im
mediately stole up to bed.
His mother walked softly behind.
Kneeling at the bedside, his little hands
joined and the little face turned up,
she heard the boy’s prayer: "Oh, God,
mamma says you like little children. If
you want to help a little boy now is a
good time.”
Both God and mamma heard the
prayer, and George’s request was
granted.
A clergyman in Chillicothe, O., was
summoned in haste by a woman who had
been taken suddenly ill. The reverend
gentleman went in some wonder, for
he knew that she was not of his parish,
and was, moreover, said to be devoted
to her own minister, the Rev. Mr. —
While he was waiting in the parlor,
before being shown to the sick room,
he fell to talking with the little girl of
the house.
‘It is very gratifying to know that
your mother thought of me in her ill
ness,” said he. "Is Dr. — out of
town?”
“Oh, no,” answered the child, in a
matter-of-fact tone. "Dr. — isn’t
away. Only we thought it might be
something contagious, and we didn’t
want to take any risk.”
Commencement day at Dothem Hall,
the famous seminary for young ladies.
“Papa,” said the pretty girl in white,
let me present you to Miss Dothem,
our principal.”
Miss Dothem beamed on the old man.
"I congratulate you, sir,” she said,
"upon your extremely large and affec
tionate family.”
‘Large and affectionate?” he stam
mered.
‘Yes, indeed,” said Miss Dothem.
"No less than twelve of May’s brothers
have come steadily during the winter
to take her driving and sleighing, while
the two older ones were most assiduous
in escorting her to the theatre twice a
week.”

all classes of live stock, for horticultur

any agricultural specialty, managed
with skill and thoroughness will bring
its reward.
The reason a man hates to buy [hie

was born in the State of Connecticut on
the 23d day of September, in the year
1826. He died at Newnan, Ga., on the
23d flay of November, in the year 1908,
at the advanced Hge of 82 years and 2
months. He came to Newnan and be
came a citizen of this city and State in
April, 1865, and united by initiation
with this lodge Jan. 1, 1859; passed
Feb. 5, 1859, and raised Feb. 19, 1859.
Shortly after his removal to Georgia,
he ceased to practice dentistry, anti
associated himself with the late Dr. J.
T. Reese, in the drug business, in
which he continued up to a few years
before his death. Thus for more than
fifty years he was thoroughly identified
with the business people of this sec
tion, and was held in highest esteem as
an upright, faithful, just and honest
husines man and citizen. As a drug
gist, he was very careful, painstaking
and accurate. A business man of un
qualified integrity, he held the confi
dence of all who dealt with him at
home and abroad.
It is with pleasure we speak of him
as a brother Mason. "Worthy and
well qualified,” he loved our "Ancient
Order,” and held most sacred its un
surpassed moral obligation, while the
emblems, the "white aprons,” "white
gloves,” and the “Evergreen,” togeth
er with ail other emblems, were to him
monitors of Love, Purity and Fidelity,
while he recognized in the "working
tools” of a MnHon our obligation of
fairness and faithfulness to one anoth
er and to all men. He likewise recog
nized in the "Three Great Lights” of
our order, to-wit: the Worshipful Mas
ter, the open Bible, and God, the Su
premo Architect of the Universe, light
and duties sublime and commanding.
The Eternity of God the future State
—and the immortality of the Soul, were
truths which he fully accepted and
called forth his most earnest research
and utmost endeavor.
But after his long life ho has nn-
swerod to the body’s last call, “Dust
thou art.'and unto dust shall thou re
turn.” He has viewed the designs on
the tressel board for the last time in
this life. In conclusion, may wo not
he allowed to express a hope that at
some future time, on some future oc
casion, we may meet him in the tem
ple above—the "Home not made with
hands, and which is eternal.”
Resoled, 1. That in the death of Bro.
Pease this lodge has lost an efficient,
true and faithful member.
Resolved, 2. That we wear for 30
days the usual badge of mourning.
Resolved, 3. That this memorial and
these resolutions he, by the Secretary
of the Lodge, entered upon a page of
the Lodge Record reserved for that
purpose, that a copy of them be given
to the city papers for publication, and
a copy he sent to the nephews and
nieces of our deceased brother at Bos

FOR
8BAD BLOOD
The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus
cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour
ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each
to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very
“engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since
so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen liow
necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the
blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments
of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities,,
humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow-
complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with
unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a
sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and
glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers,
which break out on the flesh, often
from a very insignificant bruise or
even scatcli or abrasion. If the blood
was pure and healthy the place would
heal at once, but being loaded with
impurities, which are discharged into
the wound, irritation and inflamma
tion are set up and the sore continues.
Bad blood is also responsible for
Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the
weak, polluted circulation cannot fur
nish the nourishment and strength
required to sustain the body, and a
general run-down condition of health
results. S. S. S. is nature’s blood
purifier and tonic; made entirely of
healing, cleansing roots and herbs.
It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity,
humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones
up the entire system. It adds to the blood the healthful properties it is in
need of, and in every way assists in the cure of disease. S. S. S. neutral
izes any excess of acid in the blood, making it fresh and pure, and perma
nently cures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and eruptions.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, and all
other diseases or disordtrs arising from bad blood. Book on the blood and.
any medical advice desired free to all who write.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GJL
Your S. S. S., in my opinion, is as good a
medicine as can be had; it simply cannot be
i mproved upon as a remedy to purify and enrich
the blood and to invigorate and tone up the
system. This spring my blood was bad and I
was run down in health, and having seen your
medicine highly advertised I commenced its use.
Today my blood is in fine condition and my
general health is of the best. Am filling posi
tion as fireman for a large concern here, and
if I was not in good physical condition it would
be impossible for me to fill the place. Your
S. S. S. has been of great service to me and I do
not hesitate to give it the credit it deserves.
