CHEERS FOR THE LIVING TEARS FOR THE DEAO CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Os all the qualities that enter into the making of a noble character, and of all the possessions we may have In life, no one thing is more highly prized by every right-thinking man than his honor. In defense of the nation's honor you who wear the blue went forth to suffer and to die. When President Lincoln on April 15, 1861, issued his call for 75,000 volunteers, history tells us he said it was “to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of the national union." Nothing so quickly stirs the right-

I eous indignation of any person as to ' II have their honor questioned. And i 'yet, no matter how clean the record of the past “eternal vigilance is the : | price of success” if we would keep our records clean to the end of our days. As with individuals, so with govern- > ments, both local and national. The I . errors of some and the unprincipled >! conduct of others may be quite | enough to call in question the honor ,■ of the city, state or nation. Ohio pro- . tects her fair name at the expense, ,! of sending some of her sons to the I pen for twenty-year periods, and disfranchising many others for a shorter time. Our own city will ere long want ! to know if the business prosperity we are said to enjoy is really worth ! the price we are compelled to pay in depraved morals and debauched men.

Official records show that during the sixty-one days of April and May, 1910, four men were committed to the Adams county jail, all for drunkenness. But during the forty-one days from April 13th to May 24th, this year, no less than twenty-seven persons were committed to the same jail—eighteen for drunkenness and most of the others for vagrancy, the fruit of drunkenness. Six and one-fourth times as much business (for the sheriff and the police courts) in two-thirds as much time. But, how about our city's honor a year ago and now? Has that increased in the same ratio? Today as ever, honor is the most highly-prized possession of any person or group of persons. The individual must exercise eternal vigilance for its protection, and the community,

| or the nation, must ever be on their ' guard least the base and the immoral undermine it The war of the 6O's is over and won. The nation is united, the black man is free and equal with his white brother. It cost millions in money and millions in men to settle forever that awful struggle. Gettysburg can never be erased from the pages of America’s history, for it is written with the blood of 46,000 men. The blacks are free from the shackles of slavery, but how about our children and grandchildren. Are they, will they, -be free? What a relief it would be if some assurance could be given us that in the years to come our nation's honor would ever be held sacred? Such assurance is held out to us in the language of the text. It hinges on one condition only. "Them that honor me I will honor." It is a promise from the God of men and nations. To be honored of God, and that means to be divinely guided that the world too shall honor us, we need first only to honor God. Is not this the cheapest, safest, and beet insurance against the possible destruction of our nation’s honor? It will eliminate at least a part of the cost of naval academies and dreadnaughts, standing armies and sham battles; it will protect coming generations against degeneracy and vice; it will insure the nation s future; and to the very end of time it will protect her honor. i The Rev. Ehie then drew illustrations from history to show how that in forgetting God and disregarding his teachings, several nations had decayed and ceased to exist. In contrast with this it was shown that as a nation our republic has honored God- from its very beginning and is today “the biggest thing on top of the globe." Continuing he said: Why did these members of the Grand Army of the Republic go forth from home and comfort to battle and death? To aid the down-trodden; to help the oppressed. They thought not of what men might say or history record a half century hence. Let a cry go up today for men to defend the helpless and nowhere under the shining sun will there be a more unanimous response than in the U. S. A. I To maintain that record and to keep our honor unspotted to the end of time, we need to make men feel the need of men loyal and true to the right always, fearless of the foe, men who will stand shoulder to shoulder • in the great conflict against wrong. Cause men to see things as they are, and to feel the need of a united, con- ' certed action against the citadel of and there will yet be a response equal to. or greater than, the response to Lincoln’s call for volunteers. . They finally won the day because they were on God's side and fighting for the right. So eventually —I know not how soon or remote the time —eventually this new army of men, led by "the Captain of our salvation," conquering by the power qf love, will win the day and their glad I song of victory will shake the very gates of glory. All who took part in this war of righteousness will receive a just reward, and because of cur honoring him, God will protect our nation's honor, through generations yet to come.

It is said the young lady’s 1 mother objected on account of the age I of the girl, and also because she did not exactly fancy the young man. ■ They are very well known people and ! highly esteemed.

Man Found 111 in This County Passes Away. ■ Joseph Slattery, the aged man from Dayton, Ohio, who was found sick ip a barn near Linn Grove, and who was then taken to the Adams county infrmary and later to the St. Joseph hosI pltal at Fort Wayne a week or so ago, died at the hospital Monday morning at 5 o’clock. The Fort Wayne Jour-nal-Gazette says: “Joseph Slattery, sixty-six years of age, died Monday morning at 5 o’clock at the St. Joseph hospital. Death was due to complications. Surviving the deceased are the widow, two sons and one daughter, as follows: James Slattery, Loraine, Ohio; Joseph Slattery, Alliance, Ohio, and Mary Slattery, the daughter, who arrived in this city last evening to make arrangements for the removal of the body. The same will be shipped to Dayton. Ohio. Wednesday.”

VISITS OLD GROUND Rev. H. Theo. Wilken. Who Served as Carpenter in the South During War FOR GOVERNMENT Describes His Recent Trip to Nashville After FortySeven Years. During the days of the civil war, the Rev. H. Theo. Wilken, who has for over a quarter century served in charge of the St. Mary s church here.j was a government carpenter, and as such was sent with a number of comrades to Nashville, Tenn., where he ( worked for some time in the buildinof hospitals and barracks. Recently! he decided to re-visit that place and the following written by himself, tells the story in his own words: It had been my desire to see Nash ville, Tenn., once more after fortyseven years' absence, so I carried out | my wish on May 16th last. Great was my surprise at the changes. Forty seven years ago we landed at the old depot near the Cumberland river and were hurried into a high building with many rooms, and in it we met with more bed-bugs than rebels in Nashville. That old depot is gone now and replaced by a grand one further up in the city. I did not know Nashville again, and all traces of our former work, the building of barracks and hospitals, were gone. Even the capitol looked to me as having been moved, but the interior was at once familiar to me. I was happy to hear that now there is perfect harmony between the southerners and northerners, and that old southerners willingly admit that the result of the civil war was a benefit to them. On returning home in broad daylight, I passed through the cemetery north of Nashville, where those fallen in the last battle of Nashville were buried. Thousands of white slabs marks their graves. Although the cemetery is kept nice and clean, it was a sad reminder of by-gone days. I REV. H. THEO. WILKEN. 8080 M. E. MEMORIAL. — Rev. W. J. Myers Delivered the Day's Address. The Memorial day exercises at ■ Bobo Sunday were well attended. Rev. W. J. Myers delivered a splendid address to the soldiers and relatives.
