more welcome visitor than any other
for It has the news that Is close to-
home.

the ono In which Mr. Her Is seeking
the restitution of the premises on the

erty , except that occupied by the In

There Is In Norfolk an old flag with
a history behind It The banner , a
huge 24-foot American flag made of
bunting , was made nt the time of the
organization of the republican partjr
and was used during the first Fremont-
Dayton campaign back In an old Now
England village. It alao served to
cheer on many n soldier In the war of
the rebellion. It is now In the posses
sion of L. Sessions , whoso father
brought the flag to Norfolk thirty years
ago. The big banner Is made of bunt
ing and was strung across the street
of the village back in Connecticut , be
ing hung from the building occupied
by the father of Mr. Sessions. Col.
Mathowson was a part owner of the
flag , as were several others who were
known In Norfolk. When Mr. Ses
sions came west there were none of
the original owners left in the little
eastern village , and so it was brought
to Norfolk. Mr. Sessions' father paint
ed all of the campaign banners that
were hung from this flag. During the
enlistment of soldiers and the elder
Sessions would have been n soldier
but for the fact that he failed to pass
the physical examination hundreds
and hundreds of men who fought and
bled for their country , were cheered
on to patriotic struggle by this old
flag that lies rolled up today in a Nor
folk homo.
