ABNER 83 YEARS OLD SPENT FOUR YEARS IN THE WAR OF 60’s. Mr. J. W. Abner, who lives in Winder and who has always been a citizen of Jackson, Gwinnett, and Barrow counties, is now 83 ; years old and still quite active. Four years of his life were spent in the service of the South as a brave Confederate soldier, and 12 months of this time he was a pri soner of war at Fort Deleware, where he endured with thousands of other Confederate soldiers, the hardships imposed on them at this prison. They suffered much from the severe cold weather and for the lack of something nourishing to eat. Had it not been, he says, for making rings and other trinkets from bones that they sold to the federal soldiers, in exchange for things to eat, they would have had hardly enough to prevent starv ing. Mr. Abner was in Capt. Tim Thompson’s company, which went from Jefferson, and very few of those who enlisted with him are now living. The roll call of these old vet erans finds fewer of them every year, and we who have come on since that period, too often for get their sacrifices and their suf ferings and pass them almost un noticed.

DeLay to stand side by side just in front of the pulpit, while Messrs. A. A. Thomas, W. L. Mayne, 11. E. Ilaynie and I. E.

The ordination ceremony was simple but solemn and im pressive, as the minister, with J. M. Jackson assisting, placed his hands upon the heads of Messrs. Lamar and DeLay and pronounc ed the words setting them apart as elders of the church. Then having the four elders upon the pulpit to place their hands upon the four deacons-eleet, the minis ter ordained them likewise.
