One of the Daughters of tho Confed eracy who worked hardest for tho suc cess of Memorial Day celebration and who is always relied upon to do a largo share of the work of the Daughters is Mrs. J. H. Nolan, the secretary. By a stupid piece of oversight the young man who reported the oelebrat'on for TH? Advertiser and several dally papers did not mention Mrs. Nolan. However, tho people of Laurens know that Mrs. Nolan is always earnestly, faithfully and devotedly doing her full share in these matters whether the newspapers say so or not. At any rate, the editor | is very much ashamed of the oversight I of the reporter who should have been | more attentive to his business,?and ail the more bocause Mrs. Nolan Is one of the laet women in the world to de sire or expect any public recognition of her efforts to honor the Lost Causo.

He was always ready to help the needy and appeals to charity were not turned away by h'm. Though a poor man he was public spirited and when anything was suggested for tho improvement of Laupens or a sub scription was being taken for a good cause it was noticeable that he sub- j soribed in a proportion far more lib eral than most men of larger means. Laurens had a kindly feeljng for him and he deserved it. City Opera House TO NIGHT! TO-NIGHT!! WAGES FAMILY TO-NIGHTI POPULAR^PRICES!

IIis Life was Full of Good Works. Dr. Parker was His Devoted Frieud aud Comrade?Tribute Added from a Departed Comrade. The memorial boiow was written and presented at tho reeont reunion in Columbia by Dr. Francis L. Parker, dean of S. C. Medical College, Char leston. It will bo read with interest | by tho friends of Dr. Bozeinan in Lau rens and thoy will bo grateful to Dr. Parker for his lino oxprossion of son timonts in which they all share. In prosenting a memorial to tbo mem ory of my friend and comrade, the late Dr. Bo/.eman of Ninety-Six, a veteran surgeon of the Confederate States army of Northern Virginia, and a comrade of Camp J. Poster Marshall, I beg leave to say thaf. apart from the pleasuro of meeting and greeting with myoid com rades, U. C. V., my chief objpet in coming to this grand reunion of vete rans was to pay the tribute of a friend and my comrade in the late "War Be tween tho States.'' In a life of somewhat varied expert-1 eures for over 60 years,and in that time I associated, socially or professionally in the tented field and iu private llf<i with I nearly every olaat In life and with all kinds of people, in the various grades I of BOOiety, I have yet to meet with a purer or a hotter man?a gentleman of | the old school?a braver or more hon orable soldier, or a more devoted sur geon and physician than the subject of | this brief sketch. In tho several notices of his death which I have seen, among other strong and noble characteristics accorded to him, he is unanimously epoken of as 'a good man." The phrase ''good man" though short, means a combina tion of many many vlrtures- aud when honestly deserved Is an opltaph in it self. It would be like tho "balm of Gllead" to the deceased If he could only see or hear it; aud ought to be sweet and lasting consolation to bis] family, relatives and friends. In the whole, range of my acquaintance from boyhood to our throe score years, I have yet to meet the man who "in the the gross and scope of my opinion, more truly deserves this epitaph. Here lies the body of "a good man, a good physician and surgeon, and a good sol- | dler." taking his rest "with his martial cloak around him;" safe in tho bosom of his God." The estimate of hie- friend's charac-| tor by Hamlet to his friend Horatio in tho quaint language of that period, in tended to describe as perfect a man as could be moulded, may well bo applied to our lato comrade, Dr. John J. Boze man: "Thou art e'on as just a man As o'er my conversation coped withal." "A man that fortune's buffets and re wards Has ta'en with equal thanks; and blossed are those Whose blood aod judgment aro so well oomrainglod That arc not a pipe for fortune's finger Tosonnd what stop she pleases." Dr. Bozeman was born and reared In Andorson county and recoived bis | early education In that county. He graduated at the Medical col logo of the State of South Caro'ina in Cbarloston in 1857 and practiced his profession till tho calls to arms sounded In 1801. He promptly ynjuntoercd, as a private in the ranks? all honor to him and hun dreds of educated gentlemoi in the south who did the same?and joined the first company, which was after wards known as Co.?, Hampton Le gion Legion, subsequently commanded by Ool. M. W. Gary from 1802 to 1865. This regiment fought at the First Ma nassas and in every important battle of Lee's army with the exception of Fred ericksburg, when it was on detached service with Longstroji's command about Suffolk, Dr. Bo^eman'a services ijs physician and surgeon were soon repognlzed. He I was first appointed physician to hl.? company-and soon after the first Ma tiasgas was commissioned assistant! surgeon of the regiment, but really served as surgeon n,ore than half of the time, till 180?, when tho regiment was mounted and incorporated into Gary's brigade of cavalry, serving in tho vicinity of Richmond as a guard to the capital of tho Confederacy till the end of tho war. He served most of that time as surgeon of Gary's brigade and finally surrendered at Appomattox, havfng been in continuous active ser vice from IPitl to 180?. During this entire service of n>ej years he never had a furlough tlm\ I oan recall, and never saw his homo or I people, except in the short months in 1803, when his regiment was sent to | Mouth Carolina to be mounted as av airy. He was never sick,' always at Vis post; no surgeon in Lee's army saw'or did more continuous hard service. ,Ie was constitutionally a man of remaaa ble equipoise. Amiable and oheerul; a pleasant smllo and kind word for everyone; a skillful surgeon, a g/od| physician; a sympathetic, tender nose, , combining a certain natural unohrn* | give dignity and a certain gentle ftm rjknt ness; a conscientious discharge of duty, an unselfish devotion to his sick and wounded, were oharaoteristios which distinguished him under all circum stances, "in hall, iu sunshine and in rain." Dr. Bo/.eman was a modest man and reticent, but observant among strangers. "Speak not of another's faults"waa a eortof natural maxim with him; if he had not anything good to say about a man ho did not say any thing bad about him, or said nothing. But he had a certain quaint humor about him in commenting upon tho little vanities and conceits of some of our messmates and stalT which some times afforded me much amusement. He was a man sincero and serene In his pioty, which was unobtrusive, and never have I known any one who was loss corrupted by tho usages and li censes of oamp and army life. Few of us surgooDS escaped calumny la tho army, "toorr is human." Doubt less many of U3 in the honest discharge of duty made errors. Many of us were sometimes censured unjustly; "a mean man with a lax and plausiblo tonguo" could toar a doctor's reputation into tatters. I have referrci to this only to cm l>hus;/. j tho fact that our lamented friend and comrade commanded the love and rospect of all the troops ho served with, and I do not believe that even "the shirkers" he sometimes had to forco into a fight, bore him malice. I think the survivors of Hampton's Legion infantry, Gary's and Jenkins' and Bratton's brigados, who knew Dr. Bo/.eman iu active sorvico, will bear me out in the pen sketch which I havo astempted to make of h's good, noble and unselfish character. Liko all the rest of us old voterans, Dr. Bo/.eman returned to South Caro'ina after Ap pomattox sad at heart and broken in fortune. He was not a man to repine over lost hope?, but sot himself to work lie settled in Nlnety-Sx and was soon In the active and successful practice of of his profession. In 1806 he married Miss Lila Wil - on, a charming young woman, who made I him a devoted, helpful, wif?. Their married life was full of blissful happi ness and contentment as I can testify, being often their welcome gueat. By her he had four ohildroi, ono son and three daughter', all now of age. Unfortuoatcly for him, Mrs. Ho/.eman died some 20 years ago. He did not marry again and was true lo the mem ory of the wife who hai made his home blessed and happy. Little more remxins fjr me 'o say. How he was esteemed as a good physi cian, as a useful and wise elf /, in; how he was a modest but active pillar In the Interest of his church: how the whole community in which ho lived mourned his death and followed en masse his remains and buried him I with honors and lovo, has been already ' and well said in the several notices of the press at the time of h!s death, Feb ruary, 1002. His death about a year ago prevented him from being present witli his old comrades at Urs grand reunion. In over five yours in active service in crnips and battlefields and tho 38 years which have passed since that sad and event r il surrender at Appomattox, not the slightest shadow has over dimmed our friendship or appreciation of each o.ln r. I close th\s grateful though heavy task by adding tho following brief appreciation und affectionate no tice of his death by Col. B. W. Ball, a member of Gen. M. VV. Gary's staff, who served with him from tho first Manas sas to Appomattax. "John J. Bo/.eman, M. D., Surgeon P. A. C. S. (From the Lvirons Adver tiser.; This prominent surgeon and good man died on tho 10 h instant, (February 10, 1002), at hishome,Ninety 8ix. Wherever there is a survivor of the Hampton Legion and Gary's bri gade, the news of the death of tnlB gen tleman will f til as the loss of a brother. He was an able, devotod and con scientious surgeon and nhysiclan, and as a friend as true as the noedle to tho pole, "It can be truthfully said of bim that ?None knew him but to love him.' -The writer was for four years his mefst mato in the tented fio!d, and knew his noble, self-sacrificing character. It was, his nature i > think of and love him self last. Peace to his ashes and rest to an tender and noble a soul as was ever called to meet a last earthly sum mons." I am sure that the surviving com rades of the commands which I havo mentioned and who knew hlrp. will join Col. 15 v!I and myself in saying sin cerely and affectionately, "Peace to his ashes. Rost our friend in peace, safe in the bosom of his God.'* A little life inay be saorlfiocd to a sudden attack of oroup, if you don't have Dr. Thomas' Elootric Oil on hand for the emergenoy.
