Dr. Robert H. Harris is the now pas tor of the Greenville Baptist church. Though bom in Jefferson county, Dr. Harris is best known as a South Geor gian, haviug long been a resident of! Thomasville, in tliat section of the state, j —Meriwether Vindicator. Colors of the Dixie Boys Lost at Vicks burg are Found. Rev. Alex W. Bealer 1ms received a letter that will bring glad tidings to the few surviving “Dixie Boys.” This com pany was one of the famous ones that entered the Confederate service from Thomas county. A few of the gallant command still survive and their annual reunion at Boston is one of the events of the year. The letter follows: Wrightsville, Ga., April 26,1904. Dear Brother Bealer:—Today I found something that may interest the Vete rans of yonr section. The camp of Vet-; erans here had in the parade an old rag ged Confederate Hag, torn by shells and ent by ballots, the result of the soige of Vicksburg. I found out the history of the flag, which is as follows: It was the company flag of the “Dixie Boys’’ of Thomasville, and when the 57th. Georgia Regiment was organized the colors of the “Dixio Boys was lected as the regimental colors. ThiB regiment was at Vicksburg when Grant captnrecj the place. At that time “Luce'’ Tucker was the captain. Sence Guyton was , the Colonel of the regiment. When the men found that the place was surrendered, ;the arms stacked, etc., one man determined to save the colors. This was E. R. Under wood, now living near here, in Johnsou county. He stole the flag wrapped it round his body under his clothing and brought it home, and today I saw it and learned its history. The men handle the old ragged flag as tenderly as if it were a new born baby. Perhaps some of the ' Dixie Boys” are alive, living in or near Thomasville who would like to know that their old company colors never fell iutotho hands of the Yankees, and are still in the Imuds of one of 57th Ga. and that the i that saved them at Vicksburg is yet in the laud of the living. On the flag is painted, “Dixio Boys” August 18(11 the day of mouth being shot out; also ‘ Victory or Death.” Mr. Underwood knows nothing about tho history of the flag previous to the regi mental formation, but it.no doubt was presented by some Southern woman as was customary. Geo. A. Blount. Au effort was made yesterday to see au old Dixie Boy but none could be found, of any additions can be made to Mr. Blount’s history of the flag Hhe Times-Enterprise will tako pleasure in publishing them. In this connection it will be au inter sting addition to the story to know that the old battle flag exhibited here on last Memorial Day by Captain Triplett wbb saved from Vicksbutg in exactly the same May. The Captain had one of liis men to wear it out under his clothes, and he was until recently of the opin ion that it was the only flag saved from the Yankees. A GOOD THIHII -FOR- FARMERS.
