A party of old soldiers were aitting
about the front of the court house a day
or two ago discussing incidents of the
late war when one of the number, Mr.
H. H. Raiford, took from bis pocket s
battered minnie ball which he had car
ried there for more than thirty years,
The old relic was flattened and worn,
but will ever l>e treasured by its owner
as a memento of the battle of McDowell,
where he received it squarely in the face.
The Muckalee Guards, a gallant <
pany from Americus, was in that
gagement and many of them went into
their last light that morning. Lieut,
Turpin and a dozen others lost their
lives that day, and when Private Raiford
was shot in the face he fell across the
body of Lieut. Turpin, who had been
shot down a minute or two beforo. The
ball, weighing nearly one and a half
ounces, struck Prlvato Raiford in
tuft cheek and was flattened against
the upper jaw bone. Ho survived tbe
wound and fought with his company
until tbe close of the war, and ever since
has carried with him tho leaden messen
ger that came near cutting short his
earthly career.
