We lived at the Newberry place
(which we now call the Htill
place) two year*. It wan one of the
bent—if not the beat—coniniuuitieH
in the county. Our neighbors were
intelligent, well-to-do farmers, had
good residences, good farm* and
every thing had the ap(K*arniice of
an advanced state of cultivation and
civilization. New Ho|>e wan a pop

With what veneration I lookback
to such men as He vs. Win. Hayes,
John H. Wilkins, J. J. Sessions,
Cunada Turner, T. H. Jordan, and
John C. Simmons. I believe they
are all dead, except Mr. Simmons,
who is still preaching in California,
where the conference sent him
1862.
• The church officers, class-leaders,
etc., were Messrs. Moses W. Mur
ray, J. J. Wimberly, John Hunch,
Irn£ Hradlcy, (Huptist,) and others.
These men, too, have passed away;
but their sons have taken their
pluces, arc carrying on the good
work, nnd now have their grown up
sous and daughters, and some of
them grund-children. Some of
them have grown gray with years
and cares, and much resemble their
futiiers at the time we first knew
them, so much so that it seems
strange wiieu I compare them witli
the jolly, clever young boys who ac
companied us in our daily and
nightly rambles.
Many a time in the summer we
scoured the woods and |H>nds for
rabbits, squirrels, snakes and alli
gators, trap|M>d the part ridges, and
i “coursed” the bees to their trees,
which wc cut down and robbed
them of their honey; and during
the winter nights we would hunt
! the ’possums and the coons. Home
j nights, when not very successful, (•,
we would strike camp, build a tire,
and some of the Itoys would go in
one house and some to another, aud
return with arms full of potatoes,
sugar earn* and any thing else we
could put our hands on without dis
turbing the old folks, and while sit

legei and liberties which were de
nied Ilia comrades. He became so
popular with the enemy that they
would divide any tiling that they
had with him, gave him any amount
of tobacco aud other luxuries, which
he would divide with his company,
and they all enjoyed them very
J much, and encouraged him in his
£ood work. Jim would often have
•to many “blue coats” round him as
could get within the sound of his
banjo and voice. They allowed
him the lil>erties of the camp, and
lie could have made his escape, hut
preferred to remain with ids friends
and comrades, and assist in render
ing them comfortable, especially in
their sickness, and many members
of the 55th (la. Kegt. remember and
bless him till this day.
Soon after the war—In 1887—Jim
also went to Texas, and has never
returned.
Hob, while yet a boy, joined the
“Yancy Inde|»endciits,” at Isabella,
Worth county, then commanded by
(’apt. Wm. A. Harris, which com
pany was assigned to the 14th (In.
Kegt., Thomas’ Brigade, A. P.
Hill’s division, Stonewall Jackson’s
corps, ami he served through tlie
war, being in all those hard fought
battles, was twice wounded, twice
promoted—once on the Held, for
gallantry or bravery inaction—and,
on (’apt. Harris being promoted to
Major, was elected Captain of his
company. He also went to Texas,
in 1888.
I, also a ln»y, left home for the
war, on the 7thJ day of May, 1881,
with the Dawson Volunteers, 5th.
(la. Hcgt., and served faithfully to
the bitter end. I was wounded
twice, was elected first Lieutenant
at Corinth, Miss., and Captain at
Hardstown, Ky., and surrend*d at
(Jreenburg, N. C., with Gen. John
ston.
Lawson joined Colonel (after
wards General) Debray’s Kegt. of
Texas Cavalry, was elected Lieu
tenant, and afterwards Captain of
his company, was twice wounded
and had two fine horses killed unde
him, but survived as the rest of us
did.
After the war lie entered into
polities, lias (Hied several important
offices In his adopted Htate, and is
now serving his fourth term as
Mayor of the city of Galveston; and
it Is predicted by nearly all his
friends and many of his enemies
that at the expiration of Gov. Boss
term, (I say two terms) he will Ik*
elected Governor of the Htate of
Texas.
Having left all my old school and
playmates, my brothers having left
me and gone so faraway, my sisters
having nil married off except one,
and my best of mothers having gone
to that better world last January,
and having only one present to talk
over these reminiscences with, it 1
not strange that I desired to put
them before the public, believing
tliut some of tlie friends of my youth
would read and enjoy them, and
that others would not consider the
time required in |H*nisihg them cn
tirely waited.
I believe that some who have read
these sketches will think of them
and of the writer occasionally dur
ing [the long, hot days of next
summer, and for many summers
to come, when they hear the shrill
whistle of tlie partridge, as he
seems to say:
