allow me space in one
o f your columns to express my
re , r ets in seeing our dear boys

to the East Rome depot and
boarded the train, to say fare
well to their home and loved
on<‘s. They all seemed perfectly
willing to go with their beloved
captain.
Capt. Stewart is a gentleman .
who is respected and beloved by .
all who have had the privilege
of being acquainted with him.
Men of all parties and opinions 1
will unite in this sentiment. It i
is perfectly natural that his men
should love and honor him * for
they all know that there never
beat a warmer or kindlier heart; I
full of an extraordinary gentle
ness, he is not cold or harsh but
patient, forebearing, ever ready
to answer his co intry’s call.
May Heaven bless him.
Boys, obey’ your officers. You
all stand exposed to so many
evils. Do away’ with your deck I
of cards, with all the varieties
of exciting plays that are tempt
ing, set before you to lure you
into the jaws of a whole pack of
hungry furies.
The yellow back novels are
nothing but a low mass of liter

venomous serpents into your'
soulsand pin their poisonous l
fangs upon the very vitals o r
your character. This evil is so
subtle in it? i* fluence t b at
America will never know how
many of her noble boys have
gone down under its influence.
Boys, take the book that moth
er gave you before you left home,
the Bible. Take it for your guide
if you do and if you should be
called to the front to face the
enemy and should fall on the
field never to see ycur mother’s
face again, there will be a crown
awaiting you in Glory.
Oh, how many poor mother’s
heart is aching today, but when
she thinks for a moment “his
country” calls how quickly she
bids him go, then puts all her
trust in the Lord that her boy
some day will return to her
again.

its golden key will unlock the

again You soldier boys who have
left home can only look back at
the happy days of childhood :
Beautiful ye seean,
Fair as the springtime tide-fl .wore,
Bright as -he summer’s beams.
The world grows old, but the
stars will burn out their bril
liancy, the moon’s brightness
will fade into oblivion and the
sun will throw from it so many
planets that there will cease to
be a sun—yet home and mother’s
influence will go before all this
and enter into the silver gates
of the golden eternity to brighten
Heavenitself. Have mercy ten
