AN ADVERTISING DODGE.
The latest method of adver
tising as employed by a big de
partment store in New York is
ingenious if nothing else. The
other day a young miss was dis
covered in one of the central
through fares of the city crying
>-*i if her heart would break.
More than one person stopped
to comfort the poor girl, and in
a short time quite a crowd of
sympathizers had gathered on
the pavement. At last the foun
tain of tears was stopped, and
the girl exclaimed, “1 want to
be taken to Brown’s store on
Hugh street, who is selling good
corsets at $1 and the finest silk
hose at L’S cents a pair, i want
to be taken there at once.” And
then she darted away to repeat
the same performance in anoth
er part of the city.
A minister in Kansas wanted
to deliver a sermon. He had
heard of sensational methods
and wanted to give his congre
gation a surprise. A negro boy
was taken into his confidence as
a confederate, and -talior.ed on
the roof just above the pulpit.
In the lads keeping was intrust
ed a pigeon, which was to he let
loose in the church through a
coit'.enient hole at the proper
moment. The church was pack
ed and the preacher, having
stormed his denouncement rais
ed his voice and cried: “And
the Holy Ghost decended in the
form of a dove,” but no dov*
appeared. He repeated his sen
tence. Still no dove. At the
third outcry a black face appear
ed at the hole in the roof and
the qtiary came: ‘‘Pahson s
cat done gone and eat de Holy
Ghost; but I got de cat. Shall
I frow her down?” —Ex.

Dear Sir; As the President
of the 42nd Ga., Veteran's As
sociation, and by request of the
Executive committee of the
same, we would be very much
gratified if you would publish
your address in full, as deliv
ered at Norcross before the As
sociation on July 22nd.
L. P. Thomas,
President.
I concur in above request.
R. L. Roikiers.
Fellow Soldiers:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is always a pleasure to me
to mingle with the old Confed
erate soldiers, There are ties—
peculiar ties—which bind men
together who have undergone
the same suffering, toil and
danger, in the same cause, in
the long ago. And as the years
roll by I am glad to see that
these ties grow stronger. And
the men of IBG- r >, and their
children who come after them,
are disposed to unite in recog
nizing the services of the men
who rallied around the “bonnie
blue flag” that represented
Southern chivalry in the days
that tried men’s souls.
I am glad to-day to meet the
mrviving veterans of the old
42nd Ga., Regt.,of Confederate
soldiers, who assemble on this
peaceful and quiet day to cele
irate the anniversary of one of
the great battles fought on
Georgia’s soil, in which this
regiment took so gallant and
•onspieimus a part.
Thirty-three years ago we
were in the midst of a terrible
war, in which men of the saint*
dood and ancestry inet in mor
tal combat. The trtfhd of hos
tile armies shook the earth, and
the boom of cannon and rattle
if musketry waked the echoes
over these old hills and along
these valleys.
From where I stand the roar
>f battle around Atlanta could
lie beard; and no regiment bore
i more gallant and heroic part
in that deadly conflict than
the men who followed that, shot
riddled battle (lag that floats
over us to-day. And it droops
around its stall' now as though
it could weep over the fall of a
•‘storm cradled nation” that
went down forever and is num
bered among the nations of the
dead.
Thut old smoke-stained ban
ner, so dear to the hearts of
these men, led the last charge
in the last great battle of the
war. Ami as these men who
had followed it, at Vicksburg,
Baker’sCreek,M issionary Ridge,
Acworth, Jonesboro und Atlan
ta saw it go down in defeat at
Bentonville, N. C., they felt
that
"The star of hope, which shoue
brightest in the West,
The hope of liberty, the last
the best;
That, too, hud sunk upon the
darkened shore.
And hope und freedom light up
earth no more.”
I am glad to greet on this
occasion this immense gather
ing of people, who have as
sembled from the surrounding
country to take part in this
re union of Confederate braves
To honor the living heroes of
that conflict, and the memory
id' their dead comrades; w hether
they fell in the tierce combat,
amid the roar of buttle, or were
carried from some lonely hns
pitul to fill a soldier’s grave
where they sleep to-day far
away from the bright skies of
their Cleorgia homes; und
their spirits are gathered with
the heroes of all nations ou
“fame’s eternal camping
ground." He was as much a
hero who patiently and bravely
met death on his lonely cot as
those who went down in the
gallant charge into the jaws of
death.
This gathering of the men
and women, the youth and
beauty of the laud, to partici
pate in this the IHth re-union
of this regiment, illustrates the
deep feeling, of admiration
which swells in the bosom of
the Southern people for the
xusu who wore the gray. And
LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 3rd 1897.
the sons of the old veterans,
and the generation that comes
after us will unite to honor the
services of the men who honor
ed the cause by their patriotic
devotion.
If a stranger, unacquainted
with our history, had happened
hero to-day and cast his eyes
over this large assemblage, he
would ask. ‘‘Whence comeg this
crowd ? Is this a public holi
day fixed by law ? Is tins some
ancient festival whieh has come
down from generation to gener
ation? I see here the aged
sire, bending on bis staff; the
gray-haired matron, the middle
aged,theyoung men, and blush
ing maidens, ami even the rosy
cheeked children. Why do
these people leave their homes
and daily pursuits to meet here
on this occasion ?” 1 trust
there are boys and girls here,
yet in their teens, who could
tell a weird story of how thirty
odd years ago, thirteen of the
States of lliis Union, which
they had helped to form, decid
ed peacefully to withdraw from
that Union; that people hud
been taught, from their infancy
to believe that each of these
States were sovereign States,
and that, in order to form a
more perfect Union they had
voluntarily surrendered to the
general government certain
rights, privileges and powers
which they deemed necessary
for the public welfare. But in
making such surrender of dele
gated powers, they reserved to
themselves all rights and pow
ers not specially delegated to
the general government. And
that whenever that government,
which was the creature of. these
sovereign States, became op
pressive upon the rights or in
terest of the people of any sec
tion, these States had the right
to withdraw the powers con
ferred on the government; and
were fre to mike such other
alliances as they deemed nec
essary for their own protection.
Acting on this honest convic
tion, and believing that the
time lmd come for a peaceful
separut ion,these thirteen States'
by peaceful ordinances of the
people, withdrew and formed
what was known as the Confed
erate States of America.
Tliis was a mistake—a great
mistake—but it was honestly
made and fearlessly maintained.
Among the inalienable rights of
every people are life, liberty
ami property and the pursuit
of happiu»ss, and these States
determined to defend these
rights “with their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred hou-
Then came war—war with all
its horrors. Great, armies were
mnrtialed and our homes inva
ded. They came with fire and
sword to devastate the land.
To meet this invading force our
men hud to quit the pursuits of
peace—the farm, the merchan
dise, the shops, and the offices
—and go to the front in their
country’s defense.
Fur four long, weary years
this conflict raged, with vary
ing fortuues, until our enemy
said Wo “were robbing the
cradle and the grave” to fill up
our depleted ranks.’ At last,
exhausted and overwhelmed by
inqading armies t hat come from
every point of. the compass, we
laid dowu our arms ami sur
rendered to the armies that
swept over the land.
The dangers, toil, privation
and suffering in that bloody
era will never be chronicled ou
the pages of histury. It would
require the pencil of an angel
and the broad blue canopy
above us as a scroll on which to
fully portray the sutferiug of
that conflict. And it was not
only the men who went to the
front that suffered privation
and hardship; the women of
ihut day nobly did their part.
It was their self-sacrificing de
votion that inspired the men to
deeds of daring, nerved their
anus for the fray and encour
aged tin r devotion to duty.
Justice has never been done
the wives and mothers of that
day who so cheerfully surren
dered husbands aud suns to
their country's cause.
1 <«t me draw you a picture,
and 1 am no artist in that line,
that will stir tender emotions
in the hearts of these gray
bearded men whose minds will
travel back with the speed of
electricity to the scenes of long
ago.
I will fix the time in the
spring of 18(52. The Co 'feder
ate government had call id on
tlie States for more tro. ps for
the coining campaign. There
was no conscript law th m, ev
ery soldier was a volunteer.
The Governor of the Slate had
issued his proclamation calling
for men to go to the front.
I see before me an immense
Held, and stretched ae oss it,
in line of battle, is the malitia
of Gwinnett, a thousand strong.
Hovering around on the out
skirts is an immense crowd,
watching eagerly that dark line
of men who stand at rest in the
open field. Do you ask me who
t hey are ? These are the fath
ers, mothers, wives, sisters and
sweethearts of the men in line.
There is an ominous stillness
over this crowd. This is no
holiday festival or dress pa
rade. It is stern reality.
The proclamation is read,
asking for UK) men to abandon
their homes and take their
chances on the battlefield.
The commanding officer di
rects that all who are willing
to volunteer shall step two paces
to the front.
A young man, in the vigor of
youth, with dashing eyes, is the
first to march out, and a mighty
shout goes down the line. His
aged father trembles with emo
tion as he sees his only boy, the
staff' of his old age, the first to
volunteer; his mother wipes the
unbidden tear from her cheek,
and hack in the rear a rosy
cheeked maiden tries to hide
her blushes—she wears an en
gagement ring on her linger.
Another steps to the f'r< nt.
and I see a young site das,
her first born close to h>-r hear
as she riulizes that she is to la*
separated from her husband,
perhaps forever. Anoiherand
another steps out unlit the
quota is full. The county liuh
done its duty, and tin shout
of the people makes the welkin
ring.
After a few days of prepara
lion comes the rendezvous, and
the men are to march awav to
take their places in the ranks
where death holds high carni
val.
1 would draw a veil over the
parting scene when the young
husband bids adieu to his wife
and child, to his father and
mother, while the good old wo
man gives him a Rilde and tells
him to wear it next to his heart
and he true to his flag.
With heavy heart lie marches
off. On some hill-top he sto, s
to take a last glance at the
houieof his youth. He sees the
green fields with crops half ma
tured, the grand old woods, the
play ground of his boyhood
days, but the object 'hat fixes
his attention is that blue col
umn of smoke that la/ily floats
upwards on the morning breeze.
That locates the happy home of
wife, parent and child. As he
turns away the thought flashes
upon him, “I may never s. e
t hat home again ' ”
And many of them never re
uirned to make glad ihe hearts
of kindred and friends. A lit
tle mound upon the Rapidan.
in Tennessee, or Mississippi,
without even a board to mark
their resting place, is their only
monument, except (hit monu
ment that is builded in the
liearts and memories of ho
comrades and a gra eful peo
pie.
Father Ryan has beautifully
said:
“A land without ruins
Is a land without memories;
And a laud without memories
Is a laud without patriotism,”
God bless tlie women of that
day, who made such sacrifices
and bore up so grandly amid
privation, suffering und danger.
Many of them worked in the
field to keep the wolf from the
door and furnish clothing for
their absent loved ones, and
saw their children go to bed
hungry. Silks and satins were
luid uway, they did not become
the times, and they upide their
qwq clothing. Kyei, the young
women spun and wove their
own dresses, and with artistic
skill they blended fie lines of
the rain bows in their home
spun gowns. Ami wheu the
boys come home on furlough,
they looked to them in their
homely garb as lovely as the
lily of the valley and as sweet
as a July peach. Let me tell
*
you, young Ilian, that if one of
these modern dudes, with his
(lerby hat, four-in-hand tie,
standing collar am! tooth-pick
shoes, had come gallanting
around those girls the old lady
would have run him out of the
house with a broom-stick and
the girls would have set the
dogs on him. *
I have often thought that
women suffered more nnxietv
thin the men in the field. Great
battles would lie fought and
they knew that husbands and
brothers were there, but with
our poor mail facilities it would
sometimes lie weeks before they
knew whether their 1 >ved ones
were safe, or in some hospital
or dead.
We had no telephones, and
but few telegraph lines, and
these were monopolized by the
government during a campaign.
Reliable news was hard to get.
But those despondent women
and- children had news. It
would lie called in this day a
grapephone. It was called then
grapevine dispatches, and it
beat the telegraph and tele
phone of this day.
These grapevine dispatches
carried the news before it hap
pened, and a great deal that
never happened.
Do you think these self-sac
rificing people were traitors to
their country and guilty of
treason? No! No! No! Lee
and Jackson, Johnson and Gor
don and the men who followed
them were not traitors. They
recognized t hat they owed their
first allegiance to their States
And a man could not in that
lay be true to the government
el true to his State.
Just after the war the de-
land came from the victors
hat “treason should be made
aliens” and our leaders hung
.is high as Human. Did they
o it ? Davis, Toombs and
Srecken ridge were lodged in
prison to be made examples of,
but the government to this day
lias never put one of them on
trial. The wise men in the
North knew that no conviction
could stand. Even in the flush
of victory they were not willing
to risk the Supreme court to
hold that men who recognized
I heir allegiance first to their
States were traitors; and a de
cent respect for the opinion of
mankind, who admired the gal
lantry of men who illustrated
-in un hundred fields tin* inde
pendent spirit of the Anglo-
Saxon race, would have pre
vented tuking these men to the
gallows.
My mission here to-day will
not be a failure if I can impress
upon the-rising generation that
y iiir ancestors wore patriots,
fighting ami suffering for home
rule ami what they believed to
b> light, and not traitors d<-
serving the hangman’s rope;
that they fought to protect
their homes from the devasta
tion of an invading army,
Hamiicur, the Cartlingean
general, swore his son, while
y t a youth, on the altar of his
g sis to undying enmity to
Rome. Ami in after years that
sou led his victorious batallions
to the gates of the eternal city.
I would not encourage in the
rising generation enmity to our
government; far from it. It is
a government conceived in the
bruin and established by the
heroism of our ancestors. It is
our father’s house, and we have
come back to stay. Georgia is
us true to the old flag to-day us

was as premature as myself. \Ve

would break our foolish necks,
and one evening when wt
mounted after sunset for our

was browsing on the edge of a
lonely piece of woods and at
first paid no attention to our
attempts to start it homeward.
Our horses shied at the animal,
ami it was all we could do to
manage them. My friend sug
gested that one of us dismount
and drive the ‘boviuo.’
“ Excuse me, I answered, ‘1

unwioldly calves is the least en

Lawrenceville auxiliary. ]
When Christ said “Go ye into
all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature” He
meant that the people needed
the gospel and that it is tin
duty of Christians to send it to
“all the world.” Now the Cal
vanists tell us that God, before
the foundation of the world,
elected certain people for salva
tion and that the Saviour died
for the redemption of that num
ber. But the Bible plainly
teaches that the Saviour tasted
death for all men and that sal
vation is free. Relieving in the
great doctrine of free grace, we
propose to help send the gospel
to all the world. There are
numbers of missionaries today
in heathen lands who are doing
a great work but there is room
for more workers. This work
must continue until there i 8
not a soul, in this country or
in Asia, Africa, Australia or
the islands of the sea, who has
not heard the gospel proucheil
There are those who say that
if God intends to save the
heathen He will do it without
our help, but there would never
lie unything accomplished if the
work was left to them, They
would throw their cold-water
Calvinism on the work which
God has assigned his people
here to do.
The Missionary Review of the
World says: “Paul is the
prince of missionaries and chap
ter viii. ot second Corinthians
is the most stirring passage re
lating to the missionary spirit
that his pen ever produced. It
the Christian church were only
to learn those 24 verses by heart
the world's redemption would
tie nigh, eveu at the doors.
The place of beginning should
be at the fifth verse, which
tells how the saints of Muco
donia first gave their own selves
to the Lord.”
Christianity lias muds hn*
mouse gains in the attention
and devotion of young people
It has identified in new ways
Christian character with good
citizenship. It is more aggres
sive in its spirit and more in
elusive in its aims. There is
much wider interest in apply
ing Christian principles to tin
solution of problems affecting
the present liuppiness and mu
tual helpfulness of mankind.
Interest in missions has broad
ened, not lessened.
Inquiries concerning the per
son ot Christ and men’s rela
tion with him are more uurner*
ous and more earnest than ever
before. There seems to be good
evidence thut the Christian’s
conscience is, in some direc
tions, not less sensitive, und is
more outspoken today titan in
the lust generation.—The Con
gregatioualist.
TICK I.OVK.
The concern manifested by
native couverts f«>r the salvation
of their heathen relatives and
friends is often very striking.
A remarkable instance of this
uppeurs in the case of a Matu
-1 110, who, becoming a servant in
t|n< mission family at Kuruman
was brought to a saving knowl
edge of the truth.
“Once,” says the missionary,
“visiting her in sickness, 1
found her silting with a part ol
tin- v.ord of God in lie;- hand,
bathed in t--urs. Addressing
her l said, ‘What is the caused
your sorrow? Is it the baby

‘No,’ ajie replied, ‘my baby is

“ ‘No, no,’ she replied, ‘it is

“Here again she gave vent to
her grief, and holding out the
gospel of Luke in a hand wet
with tears, she exclaimed, ’my

And swear to cling to him with

hidden heart, —

Condemn the woman and for
