During the Confederate reunion held
at Nnahville thla year It will be remem
bered that Mr. A. T. Holt, of Mac on
acted ns color bearer of the General

Bonn following the funeral the flog

From now until the Rome reunion of
tha Georgia veteruna Macon will preaa
tha Invitation to the state veteruna to
hold their next reunion here. In con
Junction with the local camps the ma
yor, the board of trade, utul the city
council will strive to bring nUtut the
much wished for end. From a nuin
tier of sources It In learned that Macon
stands by far the best chance of se
curing the 1906 reunion.
Just before the meeting adjourned
OapL A. K. Pnrrott. of the 14th Smith
Carolina Infantry, who Is one of the
most enthusiastic members of the
amp. read the following pbper. writ
ten by himself, describing s somewhat
ludicrous yet true state of affairs that
happened during the civil war:
The old boys asembled here will re
member that Dee's army went Into
winter quarters when the roads got so
bad the artillery could not be driven
over them, for It waa a standing Joke
with the Infantry that a horse was
worth more than a man. If one could
Judge by the way the cavalry were
favored: yet 1 would pot reflect on
that branch of the service, for Hamp
ton, and Stewart, und Forest, with
others, stand prominent In the history
of the Civil War. 1 only call the nt
tent Ion of the boys to the “gags" which
the cavalry Invariably received while
passing n column of Infantry.
Many of you will recall that the
latter classed them “butter »nl!k rang
ere" nnd doubtless fulled to give them
the credit they deserved: as the onv
airy figure In my story, any who avrv
ed In that branch will please defend
them. If Indeed they need any defen:

the vldctte line on the third relief.
Hunting the off-side of a tree and hug
ging It close, I stood there thinking
of horns and jnreetheart and hoping
for daylight, for it was dark—dark
good—and everything was so still a cat

leaves without my hearing It. All of a
sudden, without rhyme or reason,
mmol Ion started In the enemy's line
only a fsw hundred ynrds In front of
moment later the flash of an
Knfleld rifle, followed by others, sent
the mlnnle balls whistling our way,
cutting the bark from the trees and
bringing our return Are.
"Now, pnrd. you know a man on the
vldette line haa a right to fall bnck on
the skirmishers, or he would be be
tween two fires. 80 dropping the butt
of my old gun to the ground, I about-
faced and started on the run, while I
felt for a cartridge. You couldn't
anything, but you could hear the brush
cracking and the dry leaves flying in
the air like a cyclone was coming, so
I dug my way through the dark woods
as best I could and fell over In a pit.
Rut facing danger when you can
und know what It is and hearing the
confoundedest noise ohe ever went up
against and knowing It Is coming right
nt you when you can't see It all is an
other thing.
“I reckon the boya reason that way,

so glancing over my shoulder. I felt the
hot breath of what looked like a column
of cavalry mounted on horses sixteen
feet high with sabres half aa long, I
believed my time had come. With the
hot air from their nostrlla blowing on
my hack, I made one more desperate
plunge Into darkness and went one way
over u log while my gun went another.
I felt his hoofs on my legs and a side
swipe of his sabre through my akull
and I luy there dead—scared to death.
How long 1 lay there I cannot tell, but
when I woke up It was daylight and I
could see the men on the battle line
running and hollering like so many Co
manche Indiana. I struggled to my
knees and felt for the blood and brains
which I was sure had matted my hair,
but much to my surprise, the blood was
not there. I could not understand It. I
got on my feet and felt my arms nnd
shoulders, but no blood could 1 And. I
uld not understsnd It all. so I Just sat
down on that log to think, and was still
sitting there about half dated when a
lieutenant in my company came up and
asked If 1 was hurt.
I replied. “Yes, hut I can't find
where." Mo after looking me over, he
tried to shake what little life waa left
out of me aa he told me that the cav
alry which had made so much unearth
ly noise was 2.600 long horned wild
Texas cattle which Hampton’s cavalry
ha<l stampeded and run Into opr line.
“Now, you think those fellows have
not been laughing at us ever since?

wouldn't have run under the aame cir

And to humor my friend I agreed
with him. Now If any of you doubt It
even' In these peaceful days you might
experiment a little with a ghost, for In

Engineer W. 8. Griffin, who lives on
Second street, was pleased yesterday
when be was Informed that hie check
for a month's salary, which had been
stolen from his room several weeks
ago, was found under the house by one
of the occupants. It will be remem
bered that Mr. Griffin was one of the
victims of a robbery which was com
mitted at his boarding place some
weeks ago. His purse was stolen from
his room some time during the night
and his money with the check were
taken. Yesterday the purse was found
under the house and the check was
Picked up from the trash. The detec
tives were put to work on the robbery
but no discovery was made until yes
terday when the check and purse were
picked up.
When the robbery occurred one of
the occupants of the house was arrest
ed and carried before the recorder, but
there was not sufficient evidence to
convict and he was released. A num
ber of the ocupants of the house were
relieved of their money on the same
night in which Engineer Griffin was
made a victim. Money was the ob
ject sought and it was made known by
the discovery of yesterday. The robber
was not willing to risk himself with
the check.
