THE ORDER OF THE GOLD STAR
In memory of the boys who have
given up their lives to the end that
human liberty might be preserved,
Rev. T. J. Mackay, of Omaha, has
founded the Order of the Golden Star.
It is to become a national organization
and every relative who has a golden
star among the blue, is entitled to
membership. The order is open to
| everyone, no matter their creed or
color. Fortunately for us, we know
of but one Colored family here who
has a golden star and we hope that it
identifies itself with tlhe new order.
I It is a beautiful way to memoralize
our soldier boys and the day may
! come when to be a member will be a
| proud distinction and an honorable
| amemnity.
