with his mule in the public square
Thursday night, gazing out toward
the roseate hued western sky, remarked
to a passer-by, with a ring of jubilant
satisfaction in the intonation of his
voice: “We old Confeds. air gwine ter

Prophet or no prophet the old sol
dier’s heart must have been gladdened
when he awoke Friday morning to sun
shine and an almost cloudless sky, to
take part in the reunion of what re
mains of the once gallant 43d and 52d
regiments of infantry, C. S. A For
weeks the yeterans have been prepar

was to have been held last Tuesday,
but the president of the veterans’ asso
ciation, Col. Hiram P. Bell, after a con
ference with leading members of the
two regiments, concluded to postpone
the celebration until yesterday.
Under the active management of
Clerk of the Superior Court Thomas M.
Bell, Jno. A. Smith, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, and
Secretary of the Association Warren H.
Campbell, elaborate preparations had
been made for the reception and enter
tainment of the veterans, their wives,
daughters and descendants to the third
generation—for these men who once
marched awav to the war in their

Mr. A^ley saw him sink the third time

aid to the drowning man.
One of the horses managed to drag
himself out of the torrent, but the

Mr. Alley made all possible haste for
assistance and soon searchers were

drowned man. Up to this time no news
of the recovery of the body has reached
here.
Mr. Black leaves a family and many
friends to mourn his untimely death.

The Buford team came up yesterday
and crossed bats with the Gainesville
team. .
again their battles. Particularly were
the meetings pathetic when old gray-
bearded men, bent with the infirmities
of age, recognized a former commander
among the other gray beards and the
two clasped hands with moistened eyes
and chatted garrulously of the days
that tried men’s souls.
It was about half past ten o'clock
when the veterans and their friends
gathered in the pi*etty grove next to
the fair grounds, where a platform had
been erected for the speakers and seats
arranged for their auditors. Upwards
of two thousand persons were present,
and you could pick out the vets, when
ever the band began to play ‘‘Dixie/'
or the chorus, under the leadership of
Mr. F. H. Logan, started to sing “The
Bonnie Blue Flag.”
The ceremonial observance of the day
began when Mrs. S. C. Shewmake, rep
resenting the Daughters of the Confed
eracy, welcomed the visitors on behalf
of that order and introduced Mr.
Thomas M. Bell, who made a stirring
address of welcome on behalf of the
city, frequent yells of applause—that
old, familiar yell—greeting his bursts
of patriotic eloquence.
At the ctmclusion of his remarks the
Queen City band struck up “The Bon
nie Blue Flag,” and, as the soul-stir
ring strains rang out, two little maids
in white, who had places on. the
stand, waved majestically to and fro
the bullet gashed battiflags of the 43d
and 52d regiments, while the men who
had followed the old banners yelled
themselves hoarse, while their eyes
flashed, their bent forms straightened
and the old lust, born of carnage, and
which only a soldier can feel, held pos-
session of their very souls, . r~~i
EfCol. H. A. Bell, the old commander
of the 43d, responded to Mr. Bell’s
speech of welcome - on behalf of the
survivors of his regiment, and Capt. R.
R. Asbury did a similar service for the
men of the 52d. There was more mu

SUGAR CANE CULTURE'
Information Given by the State Agt
riculturai Department.
Question.—Some time since Isawfl
stated that good cans could be grow$
from, the top third of cane. PleaM
write me if this theory can be relied os*
Any other information touching canj
culture -will interest south Geoigil
planters.
Answer.—It has been demonstrated
by Dr. W. C. Stubbs, of the LouisiaB*
Sugar Experiment Station, as well si
other directors, that the top third of fill
cane stalk is not as good, but snp9rioi
for seed purposes. Dr. Stubbs recoa#
mends that only this portion of fill
plant be used for seed. The tops, how 1
ever, should not be banked, as is th{
custom where the whole cane is used foi
seed purposes. The land upon wbni
cane is to be grown another season

Stubbs, ^should be cut off and P* 811 *
