TH E CHRIS T M A S STO R E Quartermaster General granted his request to be transferred to the Na tional Cemetery at Marietta, Georgia in 1892, where he spent the last years of his life, happy and content ed amongst the people whom he lov ed and claimed as amongst his best friends. As he so often wished, he died suddenly without pain, and also as he wished, and so often told those who have to stay behind, his bedy will await the resurrection under the grand old trees of Arlington near the grave of his beloved commander, General Sheridan. He often sang for his children an old cavalry song, “Wrap the fag arouna me, DOYS, To die were far more sweet with the starry emblem, boys, To be my winding sheet. In iife, I loved to see it wave, I love to follow where it led, !And now my dying hands would grasp It’s last bright shreds.” So he lies at Arlington wrapped in the flag of his country. tow To Give Quinine To Childres.

JOB PRINTING DEPARTMENT MARIETTA JOURNAL THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER TOO MUCH LAND IS BEING CULTIVATED IN THE SOUTH A writer in the Southern Farm Journal says: “The plain truth of the matter is, we are cultivating entirely too muca of our land anyway, ani getting too small returns from it. We need, and need badly, to have more of our farms in grass and to make the fields we tend in cultivated crops produce more to the acre. In stead of great areas of corn and wheat, or corn and cotton, with lit tle patches of grass here and there, we need to have great streches of grass, pastured by flocks and herds, with comparatively small fields of grain and cotton and tobbacco: and and with each of these fields pro ducing such crops as rich soils and intensive cultivation will bring.” PP £l = O " / ,g," -‘:;P" !
