FOR IK MY
W. A Shackleford. a well known
citizen of Omen, brought to the Com-
ler-Times office today several oak
boards* which he made some days
ago.
These boards will be placed on ex-
hibition Trades Day. next Monday,
and will no douibt prove an interest-
ing sight to many iieople who, In
this day and time, never see such
things. Time was, many years ago,
when nothing else was used for cov-
ering houses except oak boards
made right on the ground as the
house was being built. Shingles
have superseded the old fashioned
oak boards and they are not general-
ly used now. It is probable that the
next generation will not know what
an oak board is.
Another exhibit for Trades Day.
that was brought to the Courier-
Times office yesterday, was a very
line pear weighing 1 1-2 pounds,
svown in the orchard of W. M. Kee,
living two miles southwest of Tyler.

Catarrh is not merely an affection
of the mucous membranes; it is a
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part of
the system are involved. It is more
commonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because of the sensi-
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
rcached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca-
tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat clogged
and dry, hacking cough, etc., show
that the tiny blood vessels of the mu-
cous membranes are badly congested
and inflamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per-
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed of all un-
healthy matter. Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. It attacks
the disease at its
head, goes down
to the bottom of
the trouble and
makes a complete
and lasting cure
by PURIFYING
the blood. Then
the inflamed
membranes begin
to heal, the head is cleared, breathing
becomes natural and easy, the throat
is no longer clogged, and every un-

J. C. Cox, (UncJe John, as he is
best known) was yesterday, bythc aid
of a crutch, on the streets-.. Asid-.-
from the laneness which is caused
from wounds reeled Ij ins the
civil war, Mr. Co\, thou.?:, 75 years
old, enjoys<feood health,
Mr. Cox said to the Courier-Times
man, "This is my anniversary."
"What do you mean, Mr. Cox, by
jour anniversary," asked' the Courier-
Times man.
"Yesterday, 47 years ago," said Mi-.
Cox, "I was shot down on the 'battle-
field of Chickamau'ga. The battle
raged two days, the 19th and 20th. I
did not get hurt the first day and I
got through the second day until 5
o'clock, when I received the minie
hall.' Mr. Cox here exhibited a large
lead minie ball which be carried in
his body 30 years, 4 months and 5
days, and which he now carries in
M pocket
"I was the last flag-bearer of the
day," said Mr. Cox. "Well it was in
1874, at a reunion in Galveston, Mrs.
M. J. Young presented the old fhug
I was bearing when wonnded, to
Hood's Texas Brigade. In giving
something of the history of the flag
my name was called as one who was
•hot down while carrying it. Com-
rades shouted out that I was present
and before I knew it they had borne
me to the front. Mrs. Young clipped
eff and gave me a piece of the
flag which I bave here." Mr. Cox ex-
hibited a piece of red alpaca cloth,
old and scarred with bullets.
Mr. Cox exhibited a silver star,
made in 1861, by Peter Colstaid, hese
in Tyler, from a silver dollar. The
star baers the woids "J. C. Oox, 5th
Texas Regiment, ithI 'T-B-X-A-®' the
letters spelling Texas, being in the
R pointu o the star Tins star Mr.
Cox wore all through the war.
Mr. Cox will exhibit all these rslics
nt the coming fair. We reproduce a
special to the Dallas News, front
Sweetwater, where Mr. Cox then liv-
ed, of February 15, 1894:
"Sweetwater, Nolan Co., Tex,, Feb.
15.—Considerable interest was mani-
fested on the streets today, when the
report became current that an old
yankee minie ball had been brought
to light by Drs. Moody and Archcr
from the body of TJncle John C. Cox.
"Uncle John is an old Confederate
having been a member of companv
C, fifth Texas, Hlbod's Texas brigade,
under Capt. J. E. Anderson. He was
wounded several times during the
war, having lost a finger at the b.it-
tle of Sharpsburg, Md„ and was
wounded again at Gettysburg, Pa.,
CO. BAP-
hut the ball which he has ran ied for
thirty years, four months and twenty-
five days was received at the battle
of Chickamaugua, Sept. 20, 18l¡3, in
the last day's fighting, and the last
charge on Thomas' corps. He was
the first man to cross t he temporal y
breast work and fell wounded early
in the fight. He was color bearer ai d
fell with the colors flying in his
hand. He lay for seven days on the
field of .battle attended by army sur-
geons, Drs. Crawford and Ware, and
was finally removed from the field
by a cousin, E. C. Cox, who is now
living in Atlanta, Ga., where Uncle
John has many relatives and friends.
'Uncle John,' as he is familiarly
known, still carries with pride a
hickory stick that was cut from the
tree under which he lay while wound-
ed on the battle field,
"Mr. Cox came to Texas In the.
early days and was for many years a
resident of Smith county, Texas. He
has lived in this, Nolan county, for
the |>ast ten years. He was appoint^
ed district clerk of the county in
1885, and county clerk in August,
1887, which position he has held with
honor and credit ever since. He wa*
first married to a Miss Allen, by
whom he has four boys and two g'rls,
who are still living and secondly to
a Miss Eugenia Barron, by whom he
has one girl, a golden haired girl of
C years.
"The ball which luis caused him
much suffering for several years, en-
tered bis body a little to the left of
the median line of the sacrum, cut
ting its way through the rectum an '
striking the right pubic bone about
center of its shaft, tattering th"
front end of the ball and the lar<?n
end turning downwarn ind resting
three-fourths of an inch to the left of
the femoral artery and almost direct-
ly over the ureal, saphenous vein.
"The removal of the ball was a
successful operation and the doctors
entertain geral hopes of his complete
lecovery. When the leaden chunk
was removed Uncle John remarked:
'Now, more than ever, I 'am ready to
make peace with the yanflees.' He is
resting perfectly easy at this hour,
chatting pleasantly as lie enjoys his
favorite pipe with the minie twill un-
der his head in a little velvet ban
made for the purpose by his Joyous
wife.
"Dr. Archer, one of the attending
physicians, is also an old Confederate
surgeon, having enlisted and served
as surgeon of the thirty-second Mis-
sissippi regiment. J. W. Germany,
ex-county judge of this county, and
