T JUST saw a nice write up and
.1 Chauncey Depew’s picture in all
the papers where he told of his first
watch which was an Kljrin. Said he
kept it for years and somebody stole
it on a New York Central train.
(That’s what he gets for riding on
his own Railroad.) What does he
need a watch foranyway, time means
nothing to him. HewasinT he hollies
the other day, and I introduced him
and made him make a speech, he
said, ‘‘I have been entertaining au-
diences for 91 years and have never
found it necessary to use a Lariat yet”.
The old rascal hung one on me.
Now the moral of his story as 1
could gather it is don’t have an Elgi-n
Watch, somebody will steal it. So my
story is carry ‘Bull’ Durham, they
may borrow it, but nobody will
steal it.
Now after looking at this I don’t
know whether it is an ad for Elgin
Watches, Chauncey Depew, T he
Follies or ‘Bull’ Durham.
Well, they are all good.
P. S. I’m going to write some more piece*
that will appear in this paper. Reef) iook

MORE OF EVERYTHING

That’s the net of this

sition. More flavor—
more enjoyment—and

It seems that Ma Ferguson is
going to solve the penitentiary
problem by exercise of the par-
doning power in the Governor’s
hands. So, if you happen to
get caught red-handed in your
devilment, and get a peniten-
tiary sentence, don't worry,
you are yet a long way from
having to serve your time.
Coming next week—"White
U Sister," by Ullian Gish.
1860
l!> G. \Y. White.
The annual reunion of the
('nut cdei ate veterans in Dallas,
Texas, in May, recalls to the
minds of some'of us older peo-
ple the stirring days of the
early sixties.
The writer was eleven years
old ;ii IStid when the South be-
gan to organize its forces to
meet the invading armies of the
I’nhed States government at
Washington City.
Southeast Alabama, lyisg in
i iv so-ealled Mark in It, was
settled up mostly by wealthy
niauters who owned large es-
tates and many slaves.
When the war clouds began
■to gather over the South in
'Sth*, this section ws a hot-bed
of wosion. From the forum
and pulpit, in the schools and
homes of the people, the all ab-
sorbing- question was—seces-
-o,|j from the old Union. An
election was called, and when
the ballots were counted the
State had seceded from the Un-
ion. and began immediately to
make preparation to meet the
consequences.
The State soon became a
iraining camp, and volunteer
companies were organized ev-
erywhere. Early in the year a
volunteer company was organ-
ized at Midway, in the North-
western part of Barbour Coun-
ty. consisting almost entirely of
young men—-many of them in
their teens. They were a gay,
gallant set of fellows and full
of the fighting spirit.
It used to be a great treat to
us hoys to be permitted to go
to town on Saturdays and
watch the company training on
the common on their nice gray
uniforms, decorated with
stripes and brass buttons, their
gay plumes, flashing swords
and bright guns; the marshall
music of fife, drum and brass
hand, it was all to us boys in-
deed the very pride and pomp
of war.
The ladies of Midway pre-
sented the company with a
beautiful flag made of their
silk dresses. The day the flag
was presented to the company
the writer stood within ten
paces of a fine looking woman
who presented the flag and
made the presentation speech.
Standing before that large au-
dience in the charm and prime
of her splendid womanhood,
with flushed cheeks and flash-
ing eyes, she spoke to the sol-
diers while the flag staff rest-
ed against her bosom and its
soft folds floated above her
crown of raven black hair.
Many pictures, have faded
from my memory, but that one
remain** as bright and vivid as
when I saw it sixty-five years
ago.
The heroism and devotion of
Southern women at this period
was equal to that of the women
of Sparta or Carthage.
The officer that received the
flag promised that it would
never trail in the dust as long
as there was a man left to car-
ry it. It went through many
bloody conflicts in old Virgin-
ia, and only a few of the origi-
nal company returned to tell
the sad story of final defeat. *
The writer had an uncle in
the company “who came
through without a wound. My
brother fell at the Battle of the
Wilderness in May, 1864.
I shall never forget the day
the Company left Midway for
the seat of war. On the fronts
of stores and other public
buildings was a poster bearing
this message, “War, War,
War. Virginia has 60,000
troops In the field, and calls
to her sister Southern States
for aid td repel the invading
foe."
There was' much speech-
making, music and noiae, but
amid 4t all there wae a sad
note as mothers parted with
sons, sisters with brothers,
sweethearts looked into each
others eye that day for the
last time. But the hour of de-
parture came, and with the
hand playing “Lord Ulin’s
Daughter,” they marched awaj
to join Stonewall Jackson in the
valley of Virginia.
1 like to sit in the twilight of
declining years and think of the
old ante-bellum South, of her
glorious traditions, of her noble
manhood and womanhood, of
their devotion to the right as
it was given them to know the
light. 1 rememhtr the faithful-
ness and fidelity of the old time
slave negroes who took care of
the women and children while
the men wen; in the war, and
whose labor provided susten
ance for the Southern army
when they must have knowji
that the North was fighting for
their freedom.
I lov e the memory of it all.
If I were a young man and
my services were needed I
would willingly fight for my

BIRTHDAY OF LUNA
CITIZEN OBSERVED
Luna, April 19.—Another
birthday ofr B. H. Knight has
passed, he being 69 today.
There was a large crowd of
relatives and friends present.
His children gave him a sur-
prise dinner, which was enjoy-
ed by all present, there being
between 50 and f5 present.
No one esjoyed the day more
than B. H. #nd his wife, to see
all their children and their
friends at the old home once
more, it being eight years
since they were all togeth-
er. But n o w the day i s
gone and wife and I are
alone. We are lonesome, but
we can’t have all joy in this
life. When I came from Ten-
nessee in ’76 there was plenty
of game here, and I enojyed my
part of the sport with hounds
and shotgun, A. A. Stroud and
W. D. Ezell generally being
oftenest with me.
We are needing rain badly
at present, but health is good.
B. H. Knight.
Children's Fatal Diseases
Worms and parasites in the in-
testines of children undermine
health and so weakens their vital-
ity that they are unable to resist
the diseases so fatal to child life.
The safe course is to give a few
doses of White’s Cream Vermifuge.
It destroys and expels the worms
without the slightest injury to the
health or activity cf the child.
