THE VETERAN'S CROSS OF HONOR.
How clrnr to tho heart of ouch HXny-hentlwl noUHur
Aro tho thouKhta of Iho days when all wore tho
firnty,
Whilo memory rccnlla ovory trial and damror.
And aconov of tho pnHt llvo In battlo array!
Though lory since discarding his arms and equip
ment,
There'll one thing n votornn most auroly will
note:
The first thing ho hccb on the form of a comrade
Is tho llttlo bronze cross ho wears on his cottt,
"How much did it cost?" anld n man to a noldlor.
' That little Hat cross you wear on your contj?"
A fortune In money," he answered the Htrnnger«
"And four years of marching, and fighting to
boot;
The wealth of the world cannot purchase this em
blem,
Except that tho buyer onco wore tho gray, too;
For it shows to mankind tho full marks of n hero—
A man who to honor and country was true."
Thon let uh be proud of this emblem of honor,
And wear it with spirit both loyal and bold;
Fraternally wolcomo each ano who supports It,
With love in our hearts for tho comrades of oldj
Each day musters out whole battalions of wenrors,
And soon will be missed this token so dear;
But hko* to como will remember with honor
Tho man who’d tho right this bronjeo ornblom to
wear.
Sketch of Major Meredith Kendrick.
In 1860 Meredith Kendrick, a promi
nent young member of the Newnan bar,
was elected Solicitor-General of the
Tallapoosa (now Coweta) circuit, over
Hon. Henry Merrill, of Carrollton. Ho
filled this position with marked ability
until the inauguration of tho Lincoln
administration in 1861, which event
threatened the peace of our beloved
Southland, when the gallant Kendrick
laid down nil civic honors ai\d raised a
company from the counties of Coweta,
Campbell and Carroll, and in June fol
lowing went into camp at Big Shanty,
(now Kennesaw,) Cobb county, for
drill. It being the policy of the Con
federate authorities to receive no
•oops for a less term of service than
three years or the war,” caused this
mpany to disband, leaving Capt. Ken-
ick but a remnant of his first enlist-
ient. But, undiscouraged, he went to
Atlanta, where ho found Capt. S. C.
Rose with a like number of men, whom
he induced to return with him, and
they were mustered into Bervice as Co.
C, 3d Battalion Georgia Volunteers,
with M. Kendrick captuin, S. C. Rose
1st lieutenant, Thos. D. Wright 2d
lieutenant, and Jesse D. Gilbert 3d
lieutenant. After a short drill sorvice
ail troops at this camp were ordered to
Lynchburg, Vn., tlienco to Richmond,
and from there quite a numbor were
sent to Goldsboro, N. C. From here
the 3d Georgia Battalion wits ordered
to Greenville, Tenn., and in tho early
part of 1S62 joined the command of
Gen. James E. Rains’ at Cumberland
Gap, who was commandant of thin im
portant post. Gen. Rains and Capt.
Kendrick being of tho same profession
in civil life, (biwyern,) and holding the
same position, (that of Solicitors-Gen-
eral of 1 their respective circuits,) a
mutual admiration soon sprang up be
tween them, which lasted during life.
After Gen. Bragg’s invasion of Ken
tucky the army returned in the fall of
1862 to Middle Tennessee, where it
fought the great battle of Murfrees
boro on Dec. 31, and whore tho dash
ing Rains was killed and tho gallant
Kendrick severely wounded. After the
fall of Rains, Gen. W. B. Bate (after
wards Governor of Tennesseo and U.
S. Senator,) succeeded to tho command
of tlie brigude. He, too, soon learned
the worth of the chivalrie Kendrick, as
will hereafter be seen. After the bat
tle of Murfreesboro the 3d and !)th
Georgia battalions were consolidated,
making the 37th Georgia regiment.
Col. M. A. Stovall, of the 3d battalion,
was promoted to brigadier and assigned
to a brigado in the Mississippi army;
Mifjor A. I 1 '. Rudler was made colonel,
Lt.-Col. Joe Smith, of the 9th Georgia
battalion, was made lieutenant-colonel
of the 37th Georgia regiment, Capt.
Kendrick, of Co. C, became major, und
Lieut. Thos. D. Wright was made cap
tain of Co. I, a new regiment. Resign
ing soon after, Lieut. Wm. Hutcheson
I became captain of Co. I, 37th Georgia
regiment, and was mortally wounded
I in the battle of Jonesboro, Ga., on Aug.
31, dying at Barnesvillo on Nov. 23,
1864.
Tho battle of Hoover’s Gap came
next, followed by the great battle of
Chickamnuga on the 19th and 20th of
September, 1863, and in November
enmo the battlo of Missionary Ridge,
after which our army established win
ter quarters ni Dalton, until tho John-
ston-Sherman campaign began in May,
1864. Gen. Bragg having been called to
Richmond for Bervice in tho War De
partment, when he took leave of tho
army for Richmond Gen. Bates ac
companied him, carrying with him tho
name of Major Kendrick for promotion
to brigadior-goneral. But, alas!—on
the morning of tho 14th of Juno, 1864,
while in command of the brigade picket
lino noar.LoBt Mountain, Cobb county,
Ga., very near tho place and in ,iho
game county where he bad enlisted in
Itho service about throo yeftVS before,
ho fell mortally woiifided. Ho WhS
borne/into camp to the regimental sur
geon’s tent. Dr. Calloway made a
hasty examination of tho wound, hut
his sad face and hesitating manner only
brought a shadow of gloom over tho
handsome face of the heroic sufferer,
and the hearts of devoted friends and
comrades around him. An ambulance
was brought and the matchless Ken
drick was sent to the vacated home of
a Mr. Hardage, where, after intenscst
Buffering of mind and body until about
midnight of June 16, 1864, and within
about three miles of Marietta, the gal
lant soul of Major Kendrick went home
to the God who gave it and his mag
nificent form to his home in Newnan,
where in waiting was one of the deep
est sorrows ever poured forth from a
crushed and bleeding heart over tho
handsome and beloved form of an idol
ized and devoted husband. After tho
sad homecoming, and the solemn rites
wero over, all that was mortal of iho
brilliant and matchlesB Kondrick wns
laid to rest in tho family cemotery there,
to await the last roll-call of the count
less dead. Jos. Hutcheson.
Decatur, Ga., April 11th.
Is It True?
Wonder how many readers have no
ticed the difference between tho man
who has boen married hut a .short, time
and one who lias been married several
years? You can always tell a young
husband from an old one. When a man
has been niarriud a few months you
will generally see him working in the
garden or fixing up about the house, and
while he works he whistles or sings, or
occasionally looks upward to iho win
dow to see if anyone is watching him,
A year later he is still working in the
garden, but the smile bus been ex
changed for a frown and lie occasional
ly looks up towards the houso, wonder
ing why in the thunder breakfast iH not
ready. Another year rolls by and his
looks would sour milk, hut ho is still at
work, stopping occasionally to kick the
dog or throw a hrick at the cat. Tho
next year we find him Bitting on the
front porch smoking u pipe, while his
wife does tho digging in the garden.
Now just watch, our young mpn as, one
by one, they are caught in Cupid’s net,
and see if this rule docs not work out
the problem correctly.
Tho Sound Sloop of Good Health.
The restorative power of sound sleep
cannot be over-estimated, and any ail
ment that prevents it is a menace to
health. J. L. Southcrs, Eau Claire,
Wis., says: “For a long time I have
been unuble to sleep soundly nights, be
cause of pains across ray hack and sore
ness of my kidneys. My appetite was
very poor and my general condition was
much run down. 1 have been taking
Foley’s Kidney Pills but u short time
and now sleep ns sound as a rock. I
eat and enjoy my meals, and my gen
eral condition is greatly improved. I
can honestly recommend Foley’s Kidney
Pills, as I know they have cured me.”

Lure of the City vi. Call of the
Country.
Chrintlan Sclcnca Monitor.
The poets, as a class, apparently have
found much pleasure in singing the de-
lightsof country life; of tho jocund far
mer driving hia team afield; of the bare
foot boy following tho oowa to pasture
of a rosy morning, along a biossom-
hmbroidered way; of the mowors swing
ing their scythes and sickles through
the greon grass or the golden grain; of
Maud Muller, with her rosy cheeks,
raking the new-mown hay. These are
tlie things that tho poets have delighted
to put into their verseB. And, what 1b
more, many of them have portrayed
their charming pictures of the country
and of couptry 1(£q while liv’-" in dense
ly populated cities, and not infrequent
ly in an upper tenement from the win
dows of which perhaps not a square foot
of green sod was visible, “God madq
the countty and man made the town,”
Cowpor tolls us, and nearly nil the mem
bers of tho fine company of poets have
sung in a similar strain. Yjt, notwith*
standing all the good things that have
been said of the country, to the dispar
agement of tho city, the latter is not
without its champions and its admirers.
There is a lure that, apparently, many
cannot resist. In an increasing ratio do
the cities of this and other countries
outgrow, in population, the country dis
tricts surrounding them.
In Massachusetts the percentage of
peopio living in the cities and large
towns increased from 65.9 por cent, in
1880 to 86.9 per cent, in 1909, and it is
believed that the forthcoming census
will show nn increase of 90 per cent. It
is predicted that if the present census
classes the unincorporated villages as
towns it will show that between 60 and
66 por cent, of the nation’s total popu
lation living in cities and towns. There
must bo a reason for all of this. This
trend from the country to tho city is
not confined to any one peopio or race,
but applies to all peopio in all countries.
It is quite obvious that if tho effects of
tho congestion of population in cities
nre to ho overcome, there must be spe
cial inducement offered t > get people to
reside in the country. Loft to their
own choice in tho matter it is seen that
they naturally drift toward tho cities.
Perhaps now that nil farm products
have risen in price and seem destined to
remain more profitable to tho farmer
than heretofore, more peopio will en
gage in agriculture. But that tho guy,
brilliantly-lighted streets, the line parks,
the crowds of people, schools, churches,
places of amusement, uml that intimate
touch of follow-beingH, is liked by muny,
is beyond all doubt,
KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Newnan People Know How
to Save It.
Many Newnan people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting tho kidneys
when' they know these organs need help.
Sick kidneys aro responsible for a vast
amount of suffering and ill health, hut
there is no need to suffer nor to remain
in danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak Itidnuys can be
quickly and permanently cured by the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a
Newnnn citizen’s recommendation:
C. L. Baker, 112 Jackson St., New
nan. Ga., says: "Riding over rough
roads has been a severe strain on my
kidneys, and as a result 1 suffered off
and on for years frnn a dull aching in
my hank. The kidney secretions wero
also disordered and from this 1 realized
that my kidneys wero in an unhealthy
condition. A short time ago I learned
about Doan’s Kidney Pills and procur
ing a box at Lee Bros.’ drug store, I
began their use. They relieved me
promptly and I am grateful to them.”
