MR. B. Y. Ar<(U?WN'S VISIT TO BKOTHEll. Laurons was honored Monday by a visit from Mr. 13. V. McQuown, of Clin ton, who has just returned from a trip to see his brother, Mr. J. M. McQuown, in Columbus. Miss. This was the first timo the brothers have met in twenty two years, vir. .1. M. McQuown having visited here then. Numbers of people in Laurons county enjoy the friendship of or acquaintance with Mr. McQuown, especially the readers of The Adver tiser, for many years he being a regu lar contributor to the columns of tins paper under the pen name of "Slocum Gilson." While in the city Monday lie talked very interestingly of his trip to Mississippi and the genuine pleasure o/ the visit to his brother. "II was the greatest time of my life," said he. "To say that 1 enjoyed myself does not express it at all; it was simply grand and I was happy every minute of my time. My brother and 1 were both in the war, although not in the same company or even the same regiment, he enlisting in Company K, 10th Mississippi, at Baldwin, while 1 was a member of Company K, 11th South Carolina. He moved to his pres ent home just forty-two years ago and engaged in tho manufacture of wagons, buggies, etc., in which business he has made quite a success and is now well fixed so far as this world's goods is con cerned. Needless to say that he did all a man could do to make me enjoy my stay with him; he was a host royal." Continuing the narration of his visit, Mr. McQuown said that the greatest day of his life was Thursday, the 13th of August, when he witnessed a sham battle between parts of the United States troops, then in camp near the city of Columbus. "Hut," said lie, '"the battle was not the greatest feat ure of the day; it was the banquet ten dered the old Confederate soldiers at Li o'clock after the battlewasovcr. There were ninety-four of us old soldiers there and I have never in my life sat down to such a spread as was ours that day; but the best of all was that we were served by the oflicers of the United Slates army. They waited on us. 1 .shall never forget that day so long as I live." McQuown savs that the crops out in Mississippi are not very promising, the corn being quite poor and the cot ton suffering from the extremely wet weather. The writer was much inter ested in the conversation with Mr McQuown even when it turned to poli tics and the plain-spoken, honest old veteran differed widely with him on some questions and even censured him for ome of his views. Hut tho differ ence of opinion did not prevent them becoming friends and will not likely de stroy the pleasant acquaintance newly made. Mr. McQuown is a reader and a strong friend of The Advertiser; he did not take his departure before speak ing in glowing terms of Col. W. W. Ball, now of ( harlcston. Thinks it Saved His Life. Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Maine, says in a recent letter: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery many years for COUgllH and colds and I think it saved my lifo. I have found it u reliable rem edy for throat and lung complaints and would no more be without a bottle than I would be without food."
