'I Comrades of the 60's Meet at Festive Board and Talk Old Times. ^ Taft, October 21:?Fair Aurora's 9 cheeks blushed with pride on the jT morning: of October 12, when a few & old Confederate veterans met at the ^ over-welcoming: home of Mr S E Meff Cullou?h near Taft, to celebrate B their third reunion. The day was inB deed one of rare loveliress and aid$ ed well the representatives of South\ era independence to spend an enj? ? chanted anniversary of retrospec ^ tion away back into the "Sixties." TV old soldiers who enjoyed this J c^^ion were: , Mr, J P Shaw of | Ri^rstree, Mr T A McCants of Anil ft drews and Mr W A Cooper, (famill ,f iarly^nown as "Uncle Bully") of r -SJlKns. These are the only sur- j I viving members of a detachment j of thirteen of Capt Gaillard's con> tpyfiy. stationed at McCIellanville. these knights of chivalry showIt ed the true valor of their young * 1 * * ? f Uair I (mannooa 111 ioviuk aci?iw w mui country, her liberties and their fellowinen. As we look upon these old soldiers we quickly recall the flight of years, for 'tis but a short time ago, that this little band of comrades numbered four instead of three. Now, as they come together to spend the loyal day of war times, there is a silence, a sudden stillness, as each old # "Vet" grasps the hand of his com|L rade. A dear old face has left them, jP a voice is hushed and still, the ReapB er. Death, has touched the eyelids into sleep.

Tho' | from the princely casket one of the j purest gems ha3 gone, 'tis sweet to see the memory linger in the hearts that loved him well. It is, indeed, a great pleasure to ? gather around Mr Shaw and "Uncle fcsjCifallv" and listen to the stories jc< oj^nte-bellum days, flavored with 8* rS spicy jokes. Their very coun' L 1 te^ances oespeaK sucn aim we mjC? that7Bey~could tell 'em. All that kept the guests from thinking that the stories told were exaggerated memories from "Grimm's Fairy Tales," was that they did not begin with "Once upon a time." Then, too, after four years of struggle the last goblin got us, "which was not at pall natural for those ancient days*'? when all children were good. (?) W These three old soldiers whom I I have named set forth on the mornB ing of youth, full of vigor and ex[ pectation, when the world to them seemed robed in brightness. Yet for the cause of the dear old Soutn Nr they ventured into days -that were l^ldarker than night to serve in defence their country.

Hope rises up and presses them onward they once more dream of the golden chrysalis, wherefrom the brightness of the future will take wings. As the soldiers sit around :n the stillness of the evening camp-fire their thoughts wander to the happy scenes at home, where supper is being served. No such luck is the soldiers' joy, so with empty knapsacks away they go to the fields of green corn. The voice of each young Apollo is heard "'way down yonder in the corn field," as he gathers his roasting ears While these old "Vets" had us so entranced in the days of the"3ixtles" we heard a familiar sound, we almost mistook it for the bugle's call. but no fooling Mr Shaw and Mr Cooper; they were ready volunteers, for 'twas the tocsin of the dinner bell. They were ushered to the fesj tive board where, to say the least, the table swayed with good things to eat. The ladies, always the pride of our fair Southland, were most ardent in all tender graces that pertain to a charming day, their gracious tokens of Southern hospitality were seen in the superlative degree, and especially in the dining-room. As the guests left the room each paid a smiling tribute to Pacchus and was rewarded with a refreshing glass of punch. ' Then the sweet strains of music I IpH iis all to the Dorch. where we sat listening to the soft melody of songs refining, inspiring and patriotic. At last the stirring strains oi "Dixie" sent us back to the four long years of blood-shed and sorrow, ' which ended ir defeat and humiliation?hope and faith were crushed to the earth, the flag of the Confederacy that had created many a wave sank into the sea of glory to rise no more. Now, as we look upon the old Con; federate veterans knowing that #> tUa u?arl<^ non mertr is uui a ju? mc ? uiiv* ! give like that it takes away," it is with a feeling of greatest pride that j we give to them our hearts' gladdest rays, for before us come those epic , days of nob*le heroism when each ' soldier was conspicuous for his gallantry. Love and reason should blend and arch the pathway of each far 'into the years time has marched them, as the call of their country sent them to war. : After planning for just another 1 such reunion day next October our j living monuments of the past spoke ! the saddest word of life's lexicon, i "farewell"?with hearts full of joy that almost blotted each doubt, came j the bright hope that we will meet j another day.
