No county has made such a sacrifice, scarce¬ ly a family that has not laid a loved and honored member on its alter. When our minds revert to those days of carnage and privn- tions, we are for a while unroeon- ntructed. It is well the human mind adverts with the times, oth- j erwisewe would be a nation de¬ mented with grief and sorrow, Let us then consider their deeds of valor, aside from the carnage and suffering. The iofty charac¬ ter and vicarious punishment of Mr. Davis was a deserving theme, omitted hv most of the speakers.

The funniest thing I’ve seen since Polly j inert t he masons, was a half drunk fellow trying to chew a rusty J screw, which had been purposely given him with a half dozen cloves lie was walloping around in his verba! sausage mill in order to disguise tin' scent of the do-me-good, of which he had too freely imbibed. 1 thought “in my soul” the fool would break ev¬ ery tooth he had trying to grind up the screw. He would shut first one eye, then the other, then both. His neck veins looked like they would burst, while he frowned his face into wrinkles that looked like a tobacco bag when the string is pulled to close it. It was too f inny to see t! © poor follow come down on the screw with his teeth, with both hands under his chin, periling up with all his might, while lie trembled all over like a leaf, jerked up first one foot then the other, as if on a hot rock, and bent over like he was going to sneeze. After all the cloves had been ground into powder, except the screw, my limber friend spat it out and said: “That blamed green ” one aint no good.’’ p Jiigt here the , crowd . the , , saw real ex- tract. „t , lh..j..k.. , . , ........in**) . . , , . “©""TT cuuluu ., »,«• hies.

I suggested to her the of falling in love with some fellow in order to excite her heart to its normal condition. “Mr. Smarty,suppose I try you,” said. I told her I was all right, Scollup, and could stand from a sickly smile to TJio stands of corn and cotton not only fine in this section, but in every other where I have or heard from.
