OHIOAN WROTE DIXIE Whenever the stirring tune of “Dixie” is played,:. particularly in. the ‘South, it is met with hearty applause. Thus do Southerners pay tribute, uncon- sciously as a rule, to an Ohio Yankee. For “Dixie” was composed by Daniel Decatur Emmet, born in Mount Vernon, Ohio, in 1818. Emmet, like that other writer of Southern songs, Stephen Foster, never lived in the South. ‘ Emmet was one of the organizers of, the first negro minstrel company to tour; the country, formed in 1842, when it opened in Chatham Square Theater, New York. He was afterward associated with Dan Bryant, and in 1865 he formed his own company. He retired in 1878 and died in 1904 at the age of 89. The song “Dixie” was written in 1859 and instantly became popular. The South adopted it and now after 75 years it stirs its hearers with undiminished en- thusiasm. In 1927 a tablet to Emmet’s memory was unveiled in the churchyard of fhe |. Calyary Episcopal Churgh at Fletcher,,N. C., the first memorial erected to himeoin the South, marking another link in the chain which binds the reunited country. Similarly trade union rules that re- duce the effectiveness of tabor resul! ina smaller supply of consumable commodities and essential services, and thus retard the attainment of the high standard of living that goes with economical production.

News from London tells us that the House of Lords was recently “startled” when the Earl of Lothian asserted that the United States was responsible for the Brit- ish victory in the World War. Why were the Lords astonished? Surely, they could have known that the Americans won the war if they had taken the trouble to listen to the speeches of our war veterans or read some of the news- papers from this side of the Atlantic. | any other securities or valuable documents, FIPIPILEL SL 2 2 THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF KEY WEST Member of the FDIC a Member of the Federal Reserve KOOL SD.
