THE DAYS THAT
ARE NO MORE.
The Presentation of the Old
Flag to tiie Burke Sharp
Shooters
BY COL, JOHN D. ASHTON ON TYBEE
ISLAND FORTV YEARS AGO.
Mrs. Annie It ivlunnerlyu in iook
ing over some old papers a few
days ago, came across a relic of the
past, that, to the people who lived
at the time the war broke out, it
brings a flood of tender memories.
To the writer,who was then a mem
ber of the Burke Sharp Shooters,
the first company to leave Burke
county for the war, it has far more
than a passing interest.
It is.a copy of ttm speech made
by Jno. D. Ashton receiving a flag
of Georgia, presented to the Burke
Sharp Shooters by the ladies of
Waynesboro more than forty years
ago. Every one who remembers
Ashton knows what an orator he
was and how beautifully he wrote
and spok9 the English language
He was certainly one of the most
gifted as well as one of the hand
somest. men of that day, He lived
many years after the war to often
times astonish the world about him
with the corruscations of his genius
He was a profound lawyer and as
brilliant and eloquent at the bar as
he was on the rostrum or in the
field of politics.
The flag presented was made by
the mothers,sisters and iady friends
of that famous company and was
of the finest blue satin elaborately
trimmed, everything about it being
of the most costly material. Ttc
company was at first Georgia
troops under the control of the state
authorities; for the Confederacy h id
not fully entered into its mighty
compact; but tbe states of vhe grand
old South were moving rapidly to
its consummation. Georgia passed
the ordinance of secession on the
19ch of January, 3SGI, and the whole
state at once flew to arms. The
Burke Sharp Shooters, anticipating
the conflict, had been organized be
fore from some of the best material
of young men in Burke county. Ii
was an enthusiastic body, led by
one of the bravest and most daring
military men in Georgia, Captain
Wm. R. Holmes of this county, af-
t'rwards lieutenant oTonel of the
2d Georgia Regiment, Killed d!s
puting the passage of Antietam
bridge at the battle of Sharp«burg.
We had no flag whan tbe state
seceeded, but when, on the 231 oi
January, 1SG1, the governor hud or
dered the arsenal at Augusta to be
taken, the Burke Sharp Shooters
were there, and for the first time
experienced a little actual warfare
yet without a company banner. Per
teatioQS war clouds hung gloomily
over the South and day by day they
grew more dark and more threat
ening. The arsenal had surrender
ed without bloodshed; Fort Pulaski
and the barracks at Savannah had
fallen and then followed the bom
bardment of Fort Sumpter at Char
leston. Actual war in reality burst
upon the devoted land of the South
when on April 13th, 1861, General
Beiim-gard entered the historic
walls of Sumpter.
On the J9th of April following
amidst the blessing and tears <>/
mothers, sisters and gray-haired
fathers the Burke Sharp Shooter-
left home for the then seat of wa-.
Tybee island, threatened from the
sea side. Determined not to allow
the United States to occupy that
Important post to'biockade Savan
nah easily, six Georgia companies
were landed below 7 Fort Pulaski
and garrisoned it, There on the
sandy shores beside the sounding
waters of the Atlantic ocean our
flag came to us from the dear hand- 1
of our beloved ones at home. Every
heart, at the sight of if, felt irrepres
sible emotions.
The commltee of young girls who
gave the flag to A-Iron to oresenf,
where are they to-day. Three alone
answer. Annie Mandeli, now Airs.
Munnerlyn; Julia Blount, now Mrs
Edgar S, Garlick; Florence Bvne,
now Mrs. A. G. Whitehead. The
others, God bless their true and
faithful souls! are in the great Be
yond. Beautiful they were every
one. In their eyes was the fire of
tbe South, iu their hearts the loye
that knew no change for the cau-e
of (heir people. They were ready
then to be immolated on the altar
of f hr ir country and the survivor ,
still true to their convictions, are to
day as faithful in disaster as they
were when the first gun fired.
As the writer again reads tbe elo
quent words of Ashton, the scene
on the shores at Tybee comes up
again vividly as if it were but yes
terday. It wa3 almost an impromp
}u ceremony of presentation, but
Ashton rose to tbe solemn duty ol
the occasion. His clear, ringing,
melodious voice, rising above the
roar of the tide breaking on the
beach, thrilled every heart. Years
afterwards when tramping to ihe
battle fields of Virginia, that short
oration at Tybse and its scenes
were remembered by all of us. The
flag was baptised in fire at York
town; at Garnett’s Farm; and in
the dreadful carnage of Malvern
Hill it went down in the hands of
Billy Whitehead, shot dead as we
moved upon the fierce guns of Fitz
John Porter. Another seized it ar.d
bore it through to the end of that
disastrous day.
Afterwards the battle flag of the
Confederacy was alone permitted
to be borne by regiments and we
kissed its dear folds tenderly and
sent it home, as we could no longer
bear it on the field. Its history does
not end here. When the maraud
ing vandals of Sherman’s army
came to Wayuesboro in 18(51, they
found and bore it away in triumph,
valiantly captured from a defence
less woman along wifh one of the
2d Georgia battle fligs that had
been shot to pieces and a new one
substituted for the old rag.
The waves still dash npon the
smooth sandy shores of Tybee; and
so they have, roaring in the flood
and murmuring in she ebb, day af
ter day in the long lapse of forty
years; but that little baud of sol
diers from Burke have been wreck
ed upon the shores of time, some
sleeping In unknown graves as far
north as the high tide of carnage at
Gettysburg—(he bloodiest field of
modern history.
Flag Presentation.
Col. John D. Ashton -Dear Sir: —
Permit the undersigned, as deputed
by the ladies, honorary members of
the Burke Sharp Shooters to confide
to you the presentation of ibis flag
to your volunteer corps,
The proverbialiry of your gener
ous gallantry in behalf of our sex,
we tender as the only apology, for
thus presuming upon your kindness.
The full assurance that you will ap
predate the design, and trace the
hearts benisons, which shed their
halo from its folds, imparts the con
viction that our gift will be receiv
ed in the eloquent pencilings of an
artistic genius and the bright colors
of a noble nature. We request you
to say it has beeu wrought by the
mothers, sisters and dearer ones of
the members of your company, and
as a common contribution, betokens
the tender guardianship of those
hearts you have left behind you
Tell them whether it shall wave o’er
•hem in the silver shine of Peace, or
the ghastly glare of war’s flame,
they will mark it as the Orifiamme
of the heart’s ceaseless aspirations
for their weal, and that their bright
est virtue may ever be a Southern
er's patriotism and their heroic di
vinity 7 , their country’s liberty. Mod
’•espectfully, we remain yours,
Sallie Jones,
BSomd.
We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor: there is little nutri
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take Scott’s Emulsion,
of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the
whole body going again—man
woman and child,
I f you have not tried it, send for free sample,
its agreeable taste will surprise you.

Committee of the lari': 3. h murary
members of the Burke Sharp
Shooters.
Camp Holmes, Tybee Island,
May 27fh, 1861.—At 9 o’clock this
morning our company formed to
receive the beautiful fltg given
them by tbe noble and patriotic
lady honorary members of this
corps. The company b iog formed
in two ranks and brought to a pa
rade rest. Mr. John D. Ashton, who
had been honored with the presen
tation of the banner spoke as fol
lows; —
Capt. Holmes and Brethren in
Arms of the Burke Sharp Shooters;
—I am sorry my feebleness will not
permit me to do justice to this in
teresting occasion. But as the ac
credited representative of the pure,
and noble and patriotic women of
our county, who are honorary mem
bers of this company, I present to
you, with their blessings and pray
ers, this beautiful flag. Believe me
it is no ordinary compliment they 7
pay you, Not only a mark of confi
dence ar.d pride in you, not only a
token of esteem and affection for
you, but it is a tribute to your cour
age and your high character, to your
lofty patriotism and chivalrie valor,
to your noble and unalterable re
solve to defend those altars render
ed holy and sacred by them alone,
even though every weapon should
be incarnadined to the hilt.
Soldiers, in thi3 fl :g I read the un
written history of our victory or
death. Already have we learned to
love it with tender and patriotic de
votion, for it came to us amid th *
privations and vicissitudes of the
camp, like a burst of sunllghj
through the darkness of the gather
ing storm. Love it and cherish it.
It is I lie handiwork of the noble
matron, upon whose brow sit the
dignify and pride of age; and of the
fair maiden upon whose castilian
cheek is waged ‘ the war of the lil-
lies and the roses,” I know, and ihe
fair heroic donors of this banner
kuow that you will make it to wave
triumphantly over many a victor!
ous scene, of ectioD, or die on a field
all “reeking and sodden with blood.”
When such patriotic demonstrations
as thi3 are exibited to the world.
“Well may the snhemers in office beware,
The swift retribution that waits upon crime
When the Lion, resistance, shall leap Iron:
liia lair,
With a fury that renders his vengeance
sublime.”
I seo that you are not unmoved by
those mingled emotions of love and
gratitude by which the heart of the
soldier is stirred; and it is a just and
eloquent acknowledgement of your
affection for those mothers and sis
ters?and “yet dearer ones” who re
member yon in their prayers and
see you in their dreams.
You remember now, as you wiilin
the future, remember with pride
and delight that this was the tire
military company formed in Geor
gia for the present crisis. We
thought we saw the “handwriting
on the wall,” that we heard the 3nl
earn and mysterious voice of proph
ecy foretelling the coming confi ct
and we entered the arena as all
good patriots should. The spirit of
resistance was thought not to be
strong in a majority of the South
ern States But Carolina took the
lead and ono by one the others foi
lowed, until Arkansas floated into
the galaxy, and now the soDgof her
Traveller steals down to mingle
with the music of the Gulf stream.
Soldiers, before us are many bat
tlefields. Already has the ‘Old
Dominion” drunk the blood of hei
noblest eon But he fell at no mean
price. To Virginia he gave the
fame of Rome, and to Liberty all he
had —his life. He left earth in the
arms of glory, and entered Heaven
in the arms of lmmorlaiiiy.
Capt. Holmes, to you. and through
you *0 your command, I confide this*
sacred standard, and when we shall
follow it with bounding hearts and
flashing eyes, to where the blazing
guns are hottest, and the conflict
deadliest, we will remember thr
noble women whose gift it is, and be
invincible.
Capt. Holmes replied:.
SiR:-In behalf of the Burke Sharp
Shooters whom I have the honor to
represent, I return siDtero thank
for this beautiful present, It is grat
ifying for us to receive from the
honorary lady members of our com
oaoythe standard, the flag of our
country.bearing upon it eleven stars
she emblem of Southern independ
ence of Northern rule and determi
nation to resist Northern aggres
-ion. This flag, sir, shall be defend
ed and never shall its bright folds
be soiled or desecrated by the touch
of a Northern faralie so long as
member of this corps survives.
Sir, we are proud that the women
of our country are equal to those o
ancient Rome and Sparta in their
heroism and devotion to their coun
ry, and it nerves us for the contest
o know that tve are encouraged b^
hem to contend for our rights
rights that have been trampled upon
by Northern fanatics for the last
‘orty years.
This flag shall be our rallying
point, around which every Shari
Shooter will claim no greater honor
than to die under its folds,
Ensign, take this flag. Never let
its beautiful folds trail in the dust.
Kiss the dust yourself firpt.

MARRIAGE LAST WEDNESDAY.
M : 8B Pearl Herrington, of Waynesboro,
and Mr. Walter Bowen, of Augusta, Hap
pily Married.
The autumnal weddings began
iast Wednesday moruingwhen Miss
Pearl Herrington was married to
Mr, Walter J Bowen, of Augusta,
Rev. F. A. Branch officiating
The day was an idea! odc as if to
tless the bride, that according to
the old saying is “Blessed whom tbe
.-un shines on.” A faint tinge o!
autumn was on the trees and the
season of the golden rod had arriv
ed. L was a Golden Rod Wedding,
and this beautiful an-1 universal
flower was irievidence on this festal,
tho solemn occasion.
The bridal breakfast had been
served at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs C. T. Her
rington, prior to the hour of tbe
wedding at the church.
The happy pair designed a wed
ding tour and timed this event
not to interfere with or delay the
ceremony at the Methodist church.
From the church they were to go
to meet the mornirg traiu from
Augusta, and via the Central Rail
road go westward on the happiest
journey of their lives.
There is a great deal of the con- '
ventional at ihe church, and on this
occasion the entrance and depart
ure from the church w 7 as very
much the same, but none have
been more in order, none more
systematic or beautiful than this.
The church was decorated to
please the eye of every one present,
in palms, ferns, &c., with the lovelj
and brilliant golden rod to light u\
and symbolise this wedding. T<
enhance the marvelous beautj
of the ceremony, the church wa.-
darkened and many lights, subdued
by transparent shades of colors,
ihrew 7 a softened bue over the scene.
It produced a beautiful effect, espe
cially as iho tableau formed at the
altar. This was a novel feature of
this lovely wedding.
A largo number of guest3 were
present to witness the happy and
solemn ceremony in which observ
ance two lives were to be united
into one for better or for worse, un
til death should separate them
Arriving at tb9 church the bridal
party fermqd the order of march a.-
follows:
The organ presided over by Mrs
A. G. Whitehead souadea the Men
delsohn wedding march and the
ushers entered and moved down
the main aisle. Then followed the
bridesmaids from tbe side aisic9 in
front of the altar crossed and form
ed half circle from the pulpit. They
were joined next by the grooms
men, The bride then came down
the center aisle on the arm of the
maid of honor, Miss Corinne Dick
insoD, and was met facing the
altar by the groom and his best
man, Lieutenant G. Allen Johnston
The tableaux formed presented »
rare sight flanked on a background
of decorations of palms, ferns and
flowers. Here tbe minister, who
was standing ready to meet them,
pronounced the matrimonial rites
of the Methonist church and Miss
Herrington, the beautiful bride,
merged her name into that of her
manly groom at her side ar.d the
twain became one in the mutual
obligations and vows of man and
wife.
The bride was gowned in a love
ly tan go away suit with hat to
match and the groom was dressed
in black suit for train.
The maid of honor and brides
maids were elegantly attired and
arranged as follows.
Maid of honor, Miss Corinne Dick
inson, with Lieut. Allen Johnston.
Miss Emmie Cates with Mr
James Brinson.
Miss May Chandler with Mr.
Sidney Bates.
Miss Mina Bates with Mr, John
F. McElmurray, Jr.
Miss Margarite Herrington with
Mr. Guy Bowen.
As soon as the ceremony conclud

by many friends to se3 them off.
left for the depot, from which thpy
took the 10 o’clock train bound for
Atlanta.
Long life and happiness to them.
Attempted Burglary.
There was a burglary here or an
attempt at one last Tuesday night
about l o’clock. It was at the
dwelling of Mr. Hal. Bateman or.
Baduly street. Mr. Bateman ssau
the light was burning in his bed
room dimly, whore water is conve
niently kept for the children should

about l o’clock this light was extin
guished, which awakened Mrs.
Bateman. Mr. Bateman was arous
ed but was afraid to shoot for fear
that he might kill one of his chil
dren. But he fired hi9 pistol up,
and the burglar fled. He pursued
and shot at him but tho burglar
got away in the dark. Several oth
er unsuccessful attempts were
made at the residences of Mr Frank
•Burton and Mr. Maurice Tinley on

A Burglary of tho Home of Mr. Jerry Lam
bert. Narrow Escape to Capture—A Bur

er Items.
Yn cspondence Citizen.
Oct. 17th. — (Special)— Monday
night in ihe “wee sma hours” when
our little town was wrapt in peace
ful slumber, it seems the burglars
deemed it a fitting time to move and
proceeded to enter two of our
homes. The house of Mr. Jerry
Lambert was the first object of in
terest to them, The blinds to the
parlor open to the floor and th“
would b9 burglar easily lifted them
from the hinges and entered the
window, not finding wbat he de
sired in the parlor he opened the
door to the bed room of Mr.and Mrs.
Lambert, the noise awakened them
and ?vlr. Lambert jumped up and
attempted to capture him, but as he
neglected to get his gun in tho ex
citement the man made an eas\
escape through (he open window.
The electric light was burning in
the hall and Mr. Lambert could see
the mar. quite well, but failed to re
cogn'ze him.
The house of Mr. Jim Racklej
wa3 next broken into. How they
effected an entrance he does not
know as when his sister’s screams
awakened him, both doors of the
hall was standing op9n. Mr. Rack
ley has had a great deal of sickness
in his family aud being suddenly
awakened he was under the impres
sion one of the children sleeping in
his sister’s room had been taken
suddenly 111, he too ran but without
any fire arms, Th’e negro ran
through the hall with Mr. Rack ey
close in his wake and he would
have succeeded in capturing him
had he not struck his knee in jump
ing the balustrade causing him to
fail hoaviiy in the yard thereby giv
ing the negro the advantage in tbe
race, his hinds brushed the burgiars
hack as he cleared the fence, but he
made good his escape. Several dar
kies have been arrested but were ai!
discharged except one. He is from
Macon and has only been in Miller:
a short time. Mr.Rackley is not sure
he can identify the man although
says he has seen him ofteD.
Mr. C. Daniel and family; Mrs J
H. Daniel; Mrs. C. H. Humphrey
and Mrs C.E Attaway were among
ihe visitors to Augusta this wet k.
The iecturp, by Dr. Clarke last
night was considered fine. He had
a small house owing to so much
sickness and the Merry Makers, bu
’hoso present enj >yed the evening
very much.
We are pleased to welcome Dr
Jasper Palmer home again. He
-pent the summer off on account of
his health, and his many friends arc-
glad *o see that he was greatly ben-
efitfel by the change.
