J. T. Sappenfield got even with his Originator of the A.R. Rev. Wm.

J. Rutledge, originator of friend, Frank 3illiter When the former was married, the latter headed the pro cession in an old fashioned serenade, which waked the natives, and brought the groom from his happy retreat. J. T. accepted the situation and treated the boys royally, assuring their captain that he would get even with him.

Not de The Roll Call in Heaven. This story is related by an army chaplain: "The hospital tents had been filled up as fast as the wounded men had been brought to the rear. Among the number was a young man mortally wounded and not able to speak. It was near midnight, and many a loved one from our homes lay sleeping on the battlefield that sleep that knows no waking until Jesus shall call for them. "The surgeons had been their round of duty, and for a moment all was quiet.

Suddenly this young man, before speechless, calls, in a clear, distinct voiae, The surgeon hastened to his side and asked what he wished. said he. 'They are calling the roll in heaven, and I was answering to my He turned his head and was gone to join the army whose uniform is washed white in the blood of the Lamb. In the great roll call of eternity will your, name be heard? Can you answer, Are you one of the soldiers of salvation?" The rain on the last day of school was the cause of many having to eat their good dinner at home. For information concerning the tabernacle see Rev's.

bolds its monthly meeting at Baptist church next Sunday night, May 6th. An interesting program is being prepared. Some writer has said, "That which a man is, is the sum total of his beliefs, purposes, affections, tastes and habits, manifested in all that he does and does not, is continually photographing itself on other minds. If light is in the soul it must shine, if darkness reigns it must shade." Milan has not a few resident pupils who should take advanced studies another year. But with the employment of present methods there is no place for new studies.

Then what shall be done for them? To give them their just deserts, there are but two open doors First, send them off to some neighboring trwn where they have provisions for higher studies, or to some college center, thereby sending home money from the district. Second, add another teacher, thus giving greater inducements to pupils from adjacent districts to continue advanced studies at home. It seems to the Grand Army of the Republic, past to his reward, April 17. While John Logan was the promoter, the plan and inspiration came from Chaplain Rutledge, whose memory will ever be cherished by the passing and coming generations. A Virginian by' birth, a Puritan by choice, he stood with Clay and Webster, advocating national soverignty as against state soverignty, and when these disputed questions were transfered from the halls of congress to the battlefield, Wm.

J. Rutledge, with Grant and Logan Palmer answered to Abraham Lincoln's first call for 75,000 men. A typical Christian soldier was he; willing to give his life to protect the flag of the fathers. He looked out on the moral evil and gauged its ravages on human character, domestic life, and civil liberty. He saw it generating sighs of sorrow, unsheathing the sword, digging graves, and surging like an ever ebbing tide against the nation's perpetuity.

To wipe this stain from the nation's escutcheona brother in bonds he gave four years of the prime of his life. And after the appalling curse of the nation was wiped out in the blood of the brave Rev. Rutledge returned to his former field of labor, the pastorate. This recently translated veteran loved to relate the stories of Grant and Sherman, of Sheridan and Thomas, of Mead and Logan, of McPherson and Farragut, and Foote; and to rehearse the daring deeds of the soldier in the rank and file. Father Rutledge was laid to rest in the Jacksonville, (111.) cemetery, where sleep in hallowed graves many of his old comrades, waiting the bugle call of heaven.

In the language of Bryant we can but pay this tribute to the dead soldiers: "Thy task is done, the bond are free, We bear the to an honored grave Whose proudest monument shall be, The broken fetters of a LOCAL AND PERSONAL Gents' furnishing goods at a bargain at Hugh Harlan's.

George Hough left last Wednesday for Colorado to visit her daughter, her husband accompanying her as far as Newton. The pupils and friends of Prof. O. W. siring to break the Sabbath, the boys waited until after midnight.

Then, whh anvils and powder, they proceeded to the residence of Mr. Wood, and, Boerlike, planted their battery between the house and the water (the well) and for a time the very earth shook under their teet. Upon demand the groom surrendered to his friends. The boys were courteously received and returned to the village a hilarious crowd. Another book in the annals of home-life has been consummated; may the record show much of happiness and but little sorrow from the union just formed, Friday, April 27, was the last day of the Milan public school, with Prof.

O. W. Julian as principal, and Miss Lettie Canon as primary teacher. The eight months just closed has made history for many a youth that it will take years to develop. Most of the pupils have made good progress, as their examination papers show.

Both teachers have been aituful to their trust, not from a monetary stand-point only, but for a love for the work. It was planned to have a picnic on the last day, but the rain necessitated a return to the school house, where a bountiful dinner was served to all, many of the parents and friends spending the day with the pupils. After dinner some of the patrons sprung a pleasant surprise on the school by treating them to oranges and ice cream. It was a gala-day, and yet sorrow filled the hearts of some who had learned to more than respect their teacher. The teachers gave up their trust with the respect ef the pupils and patrons.
