Cabell, of Dalian, Texas, the commander of the Trans- Mississippi department of the United Confederate Veterans, makes an ex ceedingly interesting contribution to the literature of the Conquered Banner by telling of the circumstances under which the historic emblem was adopted. The account is best rendered in the ex act language of Gen. Cabell himself. Says he: “When the Confederate army, com manded by Gen. Beauregard, and the Federal army confronted each other at Manassas, it was seen that the Confed erate flag and the Stars and Stripes looked at a distance so much alike that it was hard to distinguish one from the other. Gen. Beauregard, after the bat tie of July 18, at Blackburn Ford, or dered that a small red badge should be worn or, the leftshouider of our troops, and, as I was chief quartermaster, or dered me to purchase a large quantity of red flannel and to distribute it to each regiment. “During the battle at Bull Run it was plain to be seen that a large num ber of Federal soldiers wore a similar red badge. Gens. Johnston and Beaure gard met at Fairfax, C. H., in the lat ter part of August or early Sedtembcr ■ and determined to have a battle flag for every regiment or detached com mand. “Gen. Johnston’s flag was in the shape of an ellipse—red flag with blue St. Andrew’s cross and stars on the cross (white) to represent the different Southern states. (No white border of any kind was attached to the cross). Gen. Beauregard’s was a rectangle, red, with St Andrew’s cross and white stars, similar to Gen. Johnston’s. “After we had discussed fully the two styles, taking into consideration the cost of material and the care of making the same, it was decided the eliptical flag won id be harder to make; that it would take more cloth, and it could not be seen so plainly at a distance; that the rectangular flag, drawn and sug gested by Gen. Beauregard, should be Johnston yielded at but we three until an order was issued adopting the Beauregard Hag, as it was culled, and directing me, as chief quar termaster, to have the flag made as soon as it could be done. 1 immediate ly issued an address to the good ladies of the South to give me their red and blue silk dresses, and to send them to Capt. Colin McRae Smitn, quartermas ter, at Richmond, Va. (Capt. Smith is now living at Nlw Orleans). He was assisted by two elegant young ladies, the Misses Carey, from Baltimore, and Mrs. Hennington, of ISavannah, and Mrs. Hopkins, of Alabama. “The Misses Carey made battle flags for Gens. Beauregard and Van Dorn, and I think, for Gen. J. E. Johnston. They made Gen. Beauregard’s out of their own silk dresses. This flag is now in Memorial hall, New Orleans, with a statement of that fact from General Beauregard. Gen. Van Dorn’s flog was made of heavier material, but very pretty. “The statement going around that this flag was designed by Federal pris oners is false. Gen. Beauregard’s bat tle flag is in Memorial hall, at New Orleans. The Washington artillery bat tle flag can be seen at the Washington artillery hall.” GEORGIA McDuffie County: Notine is hereby given that the un- j dersigned has applied to the Ordinary of said county for leave to sell land belonging to the estate of M.

Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 000 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many dis eases and symptoms—pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregu lar heart, debility, drowsinessj^lropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys. George E. Collins, of Warrenton, Ga., says: “For several months I had pains in the small of my back, and there were other symptoms which showed that my kidneys were disordered. Knowing Doan’s Kidney Pills to be a good rem edy for such troubles, I procured a box and began their use. Since then my back has not bothered me and my kid neys have been strong. Doan’s Kidney Pills have been of great benefit to me and I do not hesitate to give them my recommendation. ’ ’ For sale by all dealers. Price 60 cents.
