While my heart beams with patriotism and I could shake the hands of my fellow comrades with emotional love, how about the distinction of having been a soldier if bv chance your name does not appear on the company or regimental roll?

Mr 1 YV Tillman, of Dresden, Texas, recently visited his old home and refreshed his memory of bygone days in a ramble over the hills and joined in with his friends in a feast of nice fresh iish. His greeting, by both white! and colored, wmh a manifestation of joy fully demonstrated, as his jireaence was crowded. Even a general hand shake with all the African sons of his old community had to be had, and a very little persuasion on his part would cause many of them to turn their faces westward. 1 hope friend Tillman, before this, has reached his home in safety. With true regards to you Mr K., 1 remain as ever, Ci.uk The Beer Case. We stated Friday that Mr. H. I IB.

I n I unlay and the case was sent up , S for trial in the higher court. Mr , Howie gave bond. Walker Car , ! roll, his clerk, was discharged. This "privilege" was probably operated in about the same wnv that many others in the state ate.

Howie inquired of Walker why ho had , j bought the bottle of beer that , 1 day. The reply was that it was i 1 for the purpose of making a test case as to the legality of a beer dispensary here. Opprobrious words were applied hv Mr Howie 1 ,! and Mr Walker turned to go baek into his store. Mr Howie tired his pistol, the first hall grazing : Mr Walker's left eye brow, the j second ei tering near the left el- ( , how and passing between the , I hones of the lower arm was ex- ( traded near the wrist.
