Af ter the raid passed Columbus one morning, after a hot picket fight ail day, late in the afternoon the Federal picket line had charged the Confederates and was driving them back, Capt. Haygood had command of the picket line and had given orders to fall back on the next hill. Capt. Haygood re mained at his post watching the movements of the enemy, until fi nally he was forced to retreat to his picket line and as he was rid ing at breakneck speed a Federal soldier dashed up by his side. Down the road they ran for a quar ter of a mile with each of them looking the other in the eye. They were both heavily armed with two large horse pistols apiece and a sword. Capt. Haygood said that neither of them spoke or attempt ed to shoot the other, and that he has never been able to explain the feoling that came over him. Af ter they had riden for a quarter of a mile so close together that their legs rubbed together the Federal soldier stopped his horse and rode back. In the next charge Capt.

Mary had a.little lamb Its fleece wa? white as snow, It strayed away one summer day Where lambs should never go. Then Mary sat'her quickly down And tears streamed down her eyes She never found the lamb because She did not advertise. And Alary has a brother John, Who kepf a village store, He sat him down, smoked his pipe, And blinked his sleepy eyes. And so the sheriff closed him out, But still he lingered near, And Mary came to drop with him A sympathetic tear. “How is it sister, can you tell Why other merchants here Sell all their goods so readily And thrive from year to year?” Remembering her own bad luck The little maid replies: “Those other fellows get there John Because they advertise.” — St. Louis Republic.
