TO ERECT SHAFT
TO FALLEN HEROES
Will be Unveiled on Next Memo*
rial Day in Marietta.
In honor of 3,000 Confederate
soldiers buried at Marietta, the
Kennesaw Chapter of the Daugh
| t ors of the Confederacy Memorial will erect day,
and on the next
April 20, will unveil a handsome
! memorial shaft.
Since ,1900 the members of this
chapter have been working in¬
dustriously to secure funds with
which to erect this shaft. On
account of the fact that this chap¬
ter has had the burden of the
work and has had to bear the bur¬
den of the expense in keeping up
the cemetery and in improving
upon it, erecting a speakers’
stand and other structures on it,
the task of securing funds for
this shaft proved a gigantic one.
The shaft will cost $2,500 and
of this amount just a little less
than $2,000 is now in hand. This
money was raised in part by small
contributions from all over the
globe, and by hard work and en¬
tertainments cf all kinds.
The Kennesaw Chapter is com¬
posed principally of Daughters
of the Confederacy in Marietta.
The designer is now at work
on the shaft and soon bids will he
asked. There will be three bas¬
es of graduated sizes, the largest
one 12 feet square. On each
base will be a die, and on each
die a cap.
On these caps will be erected
the shaft, which will be octagon¬
al, and will be built of the best
granite abtanable, The mon¬
ument will contain an inscrip
tion of the confederate banner,
the Cross of Honor, the badge of
the Daughters of the Confedera¬
cy and insignia emblematic of
the war and of the Confederacy.
The shaft will be on a splendid
eminence, .just in front to the
speakers’ stand, in view of the
city, the railroad and the street
car line.
The cemetery is now owned by
the state and a bill will be be¬
fore the legislature soon asking
for aid in keeping up this city of
the Confederate dead.
There is no more historic spot
in the state than Marietta, which
lay directly in the path of Sher¬
man’s famous march, and which
is now the home of 8,000 of the
Confederate dead from every
s j- a ^ e j n the South, including
m Missouri and Maryland.
-
The shaft, upon which work
will soon begin and which will be
unveiled April 26, will be at
once a splendid addition to the
ceme £ er .* y.and a fitting 6 memorial
to those d - 000 brave men who
fell in the defense of their prm
giples and their homes, and who
ar e buried within its coniines.—

SCOTSMEN IN KILTS.
That Is One Sight You Will Not Seo
In Edinburgh.
A writer of the London Tatler has
been in Edinburgh and reports as fol¬
lows: There Is one thing that always
disappoints the visitor to Edinburgh,
and that is a complete absence of kilts,
or, rather, the absence of Scotsmen In
kilts. If you meet a man wearing a
kilt in the streets of the Queen City of
the Forth it will be a grave mistake to
Suppose that he is the laird of Gor
ipuck or some other equally famous
highland chieftain. He is nothing of
the sort. As a matter of fact, his name
is Hodgkins, and he is employed dur¬
ing eleven months of the year licking
up envelopes for a firm on the shady
side of Lothbury avenue, London, E. C.
Another mistake which strangers are
apt to make lies in supposing that the
good people of Scotland talk Scotch. I
shall never forget my surprise ou the
occasion of my first visit to Edinburgh,
when a policeman at the corner of
Frederic street, to whom I remarked
pleasantly that tt was "bra tv, brleut
nlcht the nicht, whateffer,’’ told me to
push off and stop asking him conun¬
drums. Scotsmen do not as a rule talk
at all. They possess the gift of silence
to u really remarkable degree. I know
a gillie named Donald, who lives in
Perthshire, in whose society I have
sometimes spent whole days stalking
the elusive stag without his ever
vouchsafing a single remark of any
kind. I remonstrated with him once,
pointing out that such silence as his
almost amounted to taciturnity. He
promised to try and cultivate a certain
measure of garrulity, and after we had
walked across the heather for five
hours, during which time I couhl see
that his brain was working feverishly,
he suddenly turned to me and exclaim¬
ed, “Ton’s a fearfu’ earthquake, they
had in Jamaica!” after which striking
effort lie relapsed once more into his
habitual attitude of respectful silence.
“OLD GLORY.”
The Way This Name For the Star* and
Stripes Originated.
The term “Old Glory,” used to desig¬
nate the Hug of our country, Is a favor¬
ite, aud the expression is a very happy
one.
It is said by those who claim to be
well Informed that the name originat¬
ed with William Driver, captain of the
hark Charles Daggett. This statement
appears in a history of the Driver
family, and from this we find the fol¬
lowing facts:
Driver was a successful deep sea
sailor and was at the time making his
vessel ready tor a voyage to the south¬
ern Pacific. In 1831, just as the brig
was about to set sail, a young man at
the head of a party of the captain’s
friends saluted Driver ou the deck of
the Doggett and presented to him a
handsome American flag 19 by 38 feet
iu size. The banner Vas done up in
stops, and when It went aloft aud was
flung to the breeze Captain Driver,
says the tradition, then and there
named It “Old Glory.” The flag was
carried to the south seas and ever aft¬
erward treasured by Us owner.
Driver removed to Nashville, Tenn.,
In 1837 and there died In 1880. Before
the outbreak of hostilities between the
north and south Old Glory flew daily
from a window In the captain’s Nash¬
ville house, but when the rumors of
war bocame facts it was carefully se¬
creted.
When the war broke out the precious
flag was quilted into an innocent look¬
ing comfortable and used on the cap¬
tain’s lied until Feb. 27, 1802, when the
Sixth Ohio marched into Nashville.
Then the flag came out of its cover¬
ing, and the captain presented it to the
regiment to be hoisted over the capi
tol.
There it floated until it began to tear
in ribbons, when It was taken down
and a new one placed on the building.
After the death of Captain Driver the
first Old Glory was given to the Es¬
sex institute at Salem, where it is still
preserved and may bo seen by the curi¬
ous—Kansas City Journal.
Too Much to Expect.
Camp Meeting John Allen, the grand
falher of Mme. Nordiea, was for many
years a picturesque figure among the
Methodist ministers in the state of
Maine. He was a good deal of a wag,
and ills utterances were muefi appre¬
ciated by botli saint and sinner. At
one time, having gone to Lewiston to
attend a quarterly meeting, fie was ap¬
proached in the stroet by several young
men who were evidently out for a good
time. “Camp Meeting John,” said the
spokesman, “who was the devil’s
grandmother?” replied
“The devil’s grandmother,”
the old man in the quick, sharp tone
so characteristic of his speech, “the
devil’s grandmother—how do you ex¬
pect me to keep your family record?”

Peanut Meal Bread.
Peanut meal has been for a long
time a staple article in the dietary
of the poor classes in Spain. Bread
made from pure peanut meal is light
and porous, but it is said to be un¬
palatable because of a persistent, pop¬
pylike taste. Bye bread containing 25
per cent of peanut meal cannot lie dis¬
tinguished from ordinary rye bread,
while far more nutritious. Skim mim
cheese is the only ordinary meal article of
diet comparable to. peaput in Ha
percentage, of pltrogepoua matter.

working in some parts of this

of corn juice with a little mixt¬
ure of another ingredient in

Don’t fear the darn snake,
Simon, on account of the corn
juice. From every day scenes
it must be ever near reptiles.
If it is for snake bites there
must be several bit in our bend

Cured of Bright’s Disease.
Mr. Robert O. Burke, Elnora,
N. Y., writes: “Before I started
to use Foley’s Kidney Ourel had
to get up from twelve to twenty
times a night, and I was all
bloated up with dropsy and iny
eyesight was so impaired I could
scarcely see one of my family
across the rsom. I had given
up hope of living, when a friend
recommended Foley’s Kidney
Cure. One 50 cent bottle worked
wonders and before I had taken
the third bottle the dropsy had
gone, as well as all other symp¬
toms of Bright’s disease.” G.
