The Herald and News some weeks igo published an article from Con ,ressman Aiken, stating that he found 'he Mexican War Medal in Washing ton which belonged to one John Shealy, and that if any of his relatives were legally -entitled to receive it, he would be v4ery glad to give the medal to same. The medal has been in the clerk of court's office, at Newberry or some tiie and Clerk Goggans has succeeded in locating a sister of the Mexican soldier, John Shealy. At the request of The Herald and News, Col. D. A. Dickert has furnish ed the following description of the medal and the history of these medals: "Some time ago Congressman Aiken learned that there was in the city of Washington, a soldier's medal, pur porting to belong to one John Shealy, :f South Carolina, a soldier of the exican war. Col. Aiken interested imself in the matter, and got the medal in his possession, and wrote to '.lerk of Court Goggans, to find out, f possible, to whom this heirloom be longed. After months of diligent in juiry, Mr. Goggans heard of a nephew >f the Mexican soldier, and after some :orrespondence, he discovered the whereabouts of a sister, now living in Lake City, Fla., a Mrs. Louisa Beden baugh. Saturday Mr. Goggans started by express -the long lost souvenir to %Irs. Bedenbaugh. There is some lit te history attached to the silver rinket. "In 1852 the legislature .of South' Zarolina .passed an act, appropriating $10,000 for the erection of a monument to the soldiers of the Mexican war Irom this State. The bronze palmetto tree now standing on the State house ;rounds, with the names of all mem bers of the Palmetto regiment there :m, is the outcome of that appropria ion. The legislature made a further i-ppropriation of several thousand dol lars, to have a silver medal struck off 'or each soldier, with his name there-! mn, to be deli'ered to the members of $ie regiment or their legal represeta ives. This was done. The badge is tbout onedhird larger than a si-lver iollar (enclosed in a neat velvet box) mn 'which is stamped in the centre a pametto tree, around which is in ~cribed "Vera Cruz," "Cherubusco" and 'Chapultapec," the battles in which e regiment was engaged. On the 'eve'rse side are the names "Butler," 'Dickinson and Gladden," the colonel mnd first and second majors, respec ively, of the Palmetto troop. On the 1 eft' is 1846, and to the right is 1847, 1 he beginning and ending of the 'war. t the bottom is the name of JohnC shealy, and Cherubusco, the battle in vhich he was killed. "It appears from subsequent events hat some soldier from Ohio, who was n Gen. Slocum's corps, leading the eft of Sherman's army, got posesion if this medal, took it -to his 'home in hio, and ferom thence It fc' md its vay to Washington. The possessor hen, no doubt, 'when reflecting how [early a soldier's family treasures any ittle 'memento of his. ervices to his ountry, determined to retur'n it to ts rightful owner. Hence Mr. Aiken s congressman from this State, be ame the legitiimate channel by which he rightf,ul owner could be traced, ndi barr:ing accident, e'er this goes n print 'the sister will be in posses ion of the long lost medal, a soirven r of .the brother's .devotion 'to his I ountry's cause. "John Shealy was from Edgefield ounty, but joined Capt. James H. Wil- ' [ams' Company "L," from this coun y', and was 'killed while Quitman's ivision was leading the charge in the torming of the heights of Cherubusco, ~ nd whose troops 'were 'the first to nter the city of Mexico. c "After the war the general govern-j en't brought back the bodies of all tie soldiers who 'were killed or diedI uring the service. John Shealy's ody was brought back at the same t ime, the occasion being 'the inspira ion of one of the finest poems in the :nglish language, 'by O'Hara, of Ken ucky, one verse being: On fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread, Vile glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead." Baraca Class.t The Baraca Sunday school class of I he First Baptist church will meet 'usday 8 p. mn., October 24, at the ' esidence of Mr. J. H. West for the iurpose of transacting some very im iortant business. All members are pected to be present. C. A.

He has won the prize in South Carolina for the month of September given to towns the size of Little .Mountain for the largest -num ber of subscribers. Master William Haskell began as an agent in July of this year. For the first two or three weeks he sold only ten 'to fifteen copies. From that ti,me he has gradu ally increased his sales and at present he is selling t,wo to three hundred copies each week. For the last two weeks he has been leading all the boys in the United States for the Shetland pony and outfit offered to boys in towns the size of'Little Mountain who may sell the largest number. William is 11 years old. He is a student in the Little Mountain high school and son of Mr. Joe B. Derrick.

"The iGri in the Taxi." "The Girl in the Taxi," which comes to the city opera house for an engage nent Thursday night, October 26, was ist produced in Paris under the title "Le Fils a Papa," which mnight be ren lered "Like Father Like Son." The piece created one of the grea-test sen Isations the French .metropolis has ever known and rag for more than 1,000 nights. It was originally written by Anthony Mars, that past master in the art of intrigue. The American daptation was made by Stanislaus Stange, and holds the record for the lo,g runso any similar play in New York, Chicago and Boston. The locale has been changed from Paris to New York, but the play retains all the hu-' mor and atmosphere of midnight life which made it so popular abroad. In the author's opinion, "The Girl in the Taxi" is by far the cleverest and funniest piece credited to his fa cile pen. It contains more wit and humor, more interesting and amusing characters, and more ludicrous, yet possible complications and embarras. ments than half a dozen of his other plays combined.
