Poem by E. Kiser from Chicago Times Herald lamenting a quiet town that changed as old friends faded, shops renamed, and the familiar street and church remained. The narrator returns after time to find only memories and strangers where family once gathered.
A narrator recalls childhood on a Russian estate during a thunderstorm when a lightning strike ignites a hut. He helps rescue a dying man, a woman, and a baby, while a boy is saved from the blaze. Ten years later he becomes a czar guard and survives a perilous Turko-Russian battle, saved by the same boy who later covers him during an attack. The tale ends with a note on silver production worldwide.
Chattanooga Tenn November 24 dedication of 107 Illinois monuments and markers on Civil War battlefields near the city drew more than 1000 Illinois residents and 3000 locals. Notables included Senator Cullom Governor Tanner and war official H Clay Evans with Gen Henry Loynton presiding. The program opened with the Fifth Regiment band of Atlanta and prayers by Rev Dr Pettis.
Governor Tanner of Illinois, speaking on behalf of the Illinois commissioners, hails the monuments as emblems of unity and peace from the Civil War era. Senator Cullom and others affirm the dedication at the Read House, praising Illinois veterans and the nation’s journey toward liberty and a unified republic.
