llirotigli you will think it would
have saved a great deal of hard
ship and uneasiness. On the 16th
aliout sunrise the enemy advanc
ed driving in our line of skir
mishers in disorder, killing Wm.
Tidd and I. T. II. Smith. I re
treated back through a deep ditch
that went back to our line. The
euemy did not charge onr lines,
but advanced some nearer than
onr pickets were, and began shell
ing us heavy. I was ordered to
take tbe place of a picket, station
ed 15 or 20 |>aces from our breast
works, who had run in at the time
of the shelling. I went, but had
never gone to a place I haled to
go worse, as I had no idea of get
ting hack alive, feeling sure the
shells would get me, but thank
God I got back safe. After awhile
the firing ceased to a great extent,
though fighting was still going
on, to onr right, some fresh troops
having arrived and gone over
there. We remained here all day
and nearly all night, leaving jnat
before day, and falling back half
ibcearlh considerably, and killing
a good many of oar men. They
then charged our line so soon af
ter the explosion that some ot the
dirt fell on them. 1 was where I
could see them marching in lino
of battle to our line, hut two lines
were in and fighting almost by the
time I saw them. They captured
about half a miieof our works and
held them until 3 o'clock when we
companion weut to the woods and
slop|>ed. It was night, and that
was the reason we did not want to
go hack. We remained iu Hie
woods till sometime in the night,
wliea we heard troops marching,
and on going lo see found that it
was our soldiers going hack to
Petersburg; so we went along and
found our command in the city,
and camped till morning. Tliese
brigades captured aliout 2,500
prisoners in this fight. Our com-
pauy had two wounded, Lieuten-
auls Teat and Cody. We went
back next day to onr same old po
sition on Mortar Hill, remaining
here until the 2‘Jth of September.
Wc failed to drive the enemy from
the Weldon railroad, and left them
in possession, much to our disad
vantage.
Our company lost only four by
death, during the year 1864, which
was quite light.

advertisement announcing that
Swift’s Specific had cured Mr.

cured thirteen bottles at once and
began its use. At the end of sev

Sir. Leroy A. Jester is a sub
stanlial farmer of Glcnalla, Tay
lor county. A few days ago be
s.iid: Eleven years ago w hen I
moved to Glenaita I was $1,000 in
debt. I could have plowed ail
the land I owned with a steer.
The first year I farmed I did not
use anr fertilizers, and made
about a b:Je of cotton to seven
acres of laud, ami about six bush
els of corn to the acre. The
next year 1 used guano and did
better. By using from 100 to
to 150 pounds per acre it was not
long before my land produced a
bale of cotton to two or two and a
half acres, and I made from
twelve to fifteen bushels of corn
without aov trouble. I find that

The reporter had the picasnre
of handling Colonel Davy Crock
ett’s old grin yesterday. It was
in the state treasurer's offlee.
where It had been left hv “Colonel
lioli,” Davy's grandson, now in
the Arkansas senate. The gun is
a long Irarreled, silver mounted
affair, and along the top of the
barrel, in gold letters, reads the
inscription: “Presented by lire
young men of Philadelphia to
Hon. David Crockett, of Tennes
see.” Near the muzzle, just back
of tbe bead, Was tbe Coloners
motto: “Go Ahead.” Many of
the letters were so worn as to be
almost indistinguishable, and
some of them were gone complete
ly. The gun has come down fmra
sire to son in the Crockett family
ever since it was presented in
1834. To the re|>orter “Colonel
Bob,’’ who now owns the gun,
said: “There is not a gun in
Arkansas to day which will shoot
truer. I killed hundreds of deer
w ith it, and think more of it than
I can tell. My grandlather left it
at home when lie went to Texas,
taking with him his old Hint-lock,
it is a rare old gun, and a great
curiosity. I have been requested
to send it lo the exposition at
New Orleans, and shall do so in a
short time.”—Little Hock Ga
