Wanted No Talk.
A blustering, self important
gentleman walked into a barber
shop at I’eck and wanted his hair
cut. He didn’t want any talk—
just a plain hair cut, and lie
wanted it right now.
The modest and unpretentious
old gentleman in tho shop at¬
tempted to explain, but was told
roughly to go ahead without a
word.
After (lie job was finished the
man who knew everything looked
in tho glaes and was horrified at
his appearance. Ho fairly storm¬

ask the barber. He'll ho in pres-

n hair cut myself, but you would
not give me a chance to explain.”

A False Report
-
flnrnesvillo, On.. Mar. 4, 1004.
•—Our attention has been called
* to 4 the i r fact #1 flint f h (bo rumor J,ns |
been circulated to some extent in
,fone» county that Thng. G. Mid-
did,rooks (Rig Tom) was not in
the Confederate r , We . ■
service. can-
not be silent when injuslbe is be-
ing done to a bravo and true sol-
of the sixties,
When our company, “The
lotvny Greys,” entered service
August, 10(H, “Rig Tom,” then a
tall slender youth of 18, stood tit
the head of otir company next
the first corporal. Ho came focftir
company from Jones county and
enlisted because his mother’s
brother, Dr. JL F. Childs, was the
first sergeant of the company, and
afterwards its first lieutenant.
This company, 'Tho Holloway
Greys, was organized at “The
Rock” in Upson county, Ga.,
ing the months of June and July',
1801, by Cnpt. Andrew J. White,
wilh tbe fo | !ow j ng officers: E. H.
Hloo{hvortll) first lieutenant ; J.
Mnrphey, second lieutenant;
T|jomBt R. Kendall, brevet sec-
lieutenant; Benjamin F,
C)li)dSf flrat Borg „ ant . The com¬
pany was mustered into the Con¬
federate service at “Ilig Shanty”
in Cobb county, Ga., on the 9ih
day of August, 1801, by Capt. A.
J. White, with four commission¬
ed officers, nine non-commissioned
officers, two musicians and eighty
privates. Wo were assigned to the
Third Georgia Battalion, Col. M,
A. Stovall commanding, and or¬
dered at once to Lynchburg, Yu.,
where wo remained about three
months, being drilled and prepar¬
ed for active service.
We wore then ordered to Wil¬
mington, N. C., and then back to
East Tennesssee to prevent the
burning of railroad bridges be¬
tween Knoxville and Bristol. We
spent most of tho winter along
this lino of railroad, where we
were continually harrassed by
j U nion bushwhackers. From there
we were ordered to Cumberland
Gap to face an enemy threaten¬
ing to cross tho mountains from
Kentucky. We were then under
Brigadier General Janies E Raines
of Tennessee. We then invaded
Kentucky tinder General Kirby
Smith nml went as far as Lexing¬
ton and Ilavrodshurg, where thcr^
was a sharp engagement. After¬
wards we abandoned
and crossed tho mountains again
into Tennessee. Our command
fought the first Murfreesboro bat¬
tle on December 31st, 1802, un¬
der General Braxton Bragg. After
this battle wo fell back to Shel-
byville, Tenn.
In the spring of 1863 we left
rihelbyville and fell back t,u Chat¬
tanooga. After fighting the bat¬
tles of Chickaniauga and Mission¬
ary llidge we fell back to Dalton
and spent tin winter of 18(53. In
tho spring of 1801 we commenced
llie famous retreat from Dalton
to Atlanta, being engaged in sev¬
eral battles on tho route. In tin-
battle of Atlanta on July 22,1804,
wo lost several men. We then re¬
turned northward into Alabama
and fought the battle of Decatur,
forced tho enemy bach to Colum¬
bia, Tenn., and then to Franklin,
where we were severely crippled.
Later we wore engaged in the sec¬
ond Murfreesboro battle. We fol¬
lowed the enemy to Nashville,
where we were completely routed
on December 31st, 1864, after
which we retreated into South
Carolina, where tho final roll was
called.
Thoe. G. Middlebrooks w as al¬
ways at bis post from the time lie
left “The lloik” ip Upson comi¬
ty till the battle of Nashville,
where he was captured. He was
ever a good friend, and a faithful
and brave soldier. He was wound-
ed at Chickamauga and at Atlan¬
ta. and was captured at Nashville
' n December 1864,
He went out as a private but in
1863 had risen to the rank of fee¬
ond lieutenant.
He who says Thomas G. Mid-
dlebroaks was not in the
,,t e service has < it her been misin-
formed or has designedly and imi-
ijcious’y uttered a viio slander
