Williams, of Snell ville, has left with us for perusal the muster roll of Capt. B. P. Weaver’s Co. 8., 42nd regular Georgia volunteers. The little book contains the names of all the officers and pri vates from their enlistment to the close of the great conflict, together with a record of deaths in each year. Mr. Williams was 2nd Lieutenant of this Company, hav ing been among the first to enlist, and was with it all through the many hard struggles aud battles in which it was engaged. The roster of deaths shows that a large num ber of this company died of wounds and disease, the record showing the place of death and the date. The names of survivors are few iu number as compared to those who have gone to join the “great ma jority.” Lieut Williams prizes this relic of the war most highly, and says he will keep it the jynuaiuder of his life as Bible. In future News- Herald we may roster of this company as forth to battle in 1862, togew&r with the death roll, as noted iu the little book during the progress of the war. _ _____ (JEORGiA —Gwinnett County.
