Wisconsin cavalryman,” said
C. J. Hihon of Madison. “It was at
Fleetwood HilL and the man discounted
the capture made at Ciudad Rodrigc by
Charles O’Malley's man, Mickey Urea.
The Wisconsin man rode out between
two great cavalry forces—Union and
Confederate—and attacked a lieutenant
and two men belonging to Jeb Stuart’s
force, and after a hand to hand saber
fight, lasting fully ten minutes, cap
tured the three aud brought them in. It
was the prettiest fight of the kind I ever
saw, and the Wisconsin trooper was
cheered by every man on our side who
witnessed his act and by some of Sm
art’s riders. I don’t know who the man
was, but my recollection is that he be
longed to the Second Wisconsin. ’ ’
A man who wore the Loyal Legion
button said he did not thiuk the Second
Wisconsin was in the fight with Stuart
at Brandy Station and Fleetwood Hill
He asked for the story, however:
*‘I was a member of the Eighth New
York,” said Mr. Hilton, “and our regi
ment was part of the cavalry command
sent under Pleascnton to look up Jeb
Stuart just before Gettysburg. Wo
found Stuart—yellow sash, black bat
plumes, gold spurs and all that-—at
Brandy Station, and with him were all
his riders. The fight was a hot one, and
we came very near being beautifully
whipped, although we claimed the vic
tory on the ground that we learned
what we wanted to know—where iDtu-
art was and what Lee was about. Some
of the heaviest fighting of the day was
at a spot called Fleetwood Hill, and it
was there that the Wisconsin trooper
captured his three men.
‘‘We had been afc it hammer and
tongs for two or three hours, when
there came one cf those let ups you all
have seen—for all the world like two
bulldogs looking for a fresh hold. While
both sides were waiting for the order to
advance a Confederate lientenant and
tw«* men rode out from their tents,
moving toward us as if searching for
something on the field. Everybody on
our side watched them and wondered
what they were looking for. The two
lines were fully two-thirds of a mile
apart, and the three had got about a
fhird of the way across toward us,
Then over on the right of our line was
a stir and commotion, and the excite
ment spread along until it reached us.
“The right of our line was concealed
from us by a little grove of oak trees.
A trooper in blue, mounted on a big bay
that looked and carried himself like a
thoroughbred, was riding out to meet
those three men in gray. He sat on his
horse like a riding school in_.ter. When
within 100 yards of Stuart’s three men
he halted, saluted with his saber and
dropped his carbine and revolver. The
three men from the other side had been
watching him, and, understanding the
challenge, dropped their arms.
“Then came the fight. It was a saber
contest, wifh three against one. That
Wisconsin man disarmed that lieuten
ant in two passes, hamstrung the horse
of another and put his blade through
the shoulder of the third. He brought
the three into our lines.
“What do you think of that?” he con
cluded.
“The story is all right,” said one of
the listeners, “but I don’t think you
would do to write history.”—Milwaa

A Famous Apple Tree.
The American Cultivator says that
the original greening apple tree is still
standing on the farm of Solomon
Drowne at Mount Hygeia in North
Foster, R. L The tree was a very old
one whdh the farm was sold in 1801.
The seller informed the purchaser that
it was a pity the old tree was going
into decay, as it produced the best fruit
of any tree in the orchard. The pur
chaser determined to see how long h«
could keep it alive, and it still survives,
after almost another century has been
added to its venerable years. But it
shows signs of final decay, and the par
ent of all the famous Rhode Island
greenings, which has set its grafts on
the orchards of almost all the world,
will soon be but a neighborhood memo
ry. It is doubtful if there is a more fa
mous apple tree to be found in all Po
mona’s groves from end to end of thi

Contemplated Changes on

Necessitates Stock deducing,
^Profits Jfcave tPeen
e llJ{ped jlwai/.
Within the next few weeks over one-half of the present
store will be given over to workmen to remodel and pre
pare for a removal of some departments to the new an
nex now being built on Hunter street. This necessitates
stock reducing, and we have decided to make this move
ment one of the greatest opportunities ever afforded
Georgia buyers for buying the various wares in our line
at low prices. Former prices and first cost have not
entered into the consideration of the new and inviting
prices we now name. Large and ample stocks must be
reduced to a mere nothing. That s the one thought
the one necessity that has had any weight in the making
of such absurdly low prices at this time. - It’s impossible
to mention every department in an advertisement of this
character, but only to mention a few of the many things
affected. Where we name one department there are
two, where we name one item there are a dozen. This
sale is now in effect, and should you desire to purchase
anything in the lines of Carpets, Furniture or Dry Goods,
it will richly pay you to write our mail order department
and get further information and prices. We quote a few
here:
Carpet ‘Department.
This department will offer the best values ever given to the trading
public of Georgia. Not on one or two lines have we thrown out bar
gains with the hopes of alluring you to buy something else, but anything
you may select in this mammoth stock can surely be had with a large
slice off the regular price. Carpets priced below includes the making,
laying and lining with padded paper, and any one desiring us to hold
same until the fall season can do so by paying for them now, at which
time they will be made and insured against a loss Dy fire at our expense.

Draperp Department.
Never since Draperies have been sold do we believe such Draperies
were sold at such prices. You can now drape any window or nook in
your home at an average of HALF PRICE. Every pair of Curtains
in the house has been handled within the past few days and marked at
prices that will surprise you. Those found to be sold down to one, two,
three pairs have been actually reduced so much we would almost hesi
tate to tell the price for fear you might suspect something wrong with
them. Be assured of this, though, that no unworthy, cheap Draperies
have been bought to help strengthen this sale—every pair mentioned is
our regular high-grade stock. These prices mean just what this sale
is intended for—to reduce stock prior to moving in the new quarters.
