f m- w A TRUE THAT To Get The Flag*. [Columbia Reginier ] Richland county will soon have some historic flags within its borders. General Kershaw is going to give some of the most famous battle flags of the war c*pt*i» to the Survivors’ Association. I These old and tattered flags will be treasured by veterans as they should be, and in the years to No one WO ni.i come will be as well preserved Sofia wa» a shrew as they are to-day. The following letter from Gen eral Kershaw speaks for itself. Camdbn, 8. C., 1 August 31, 1891. / S. W. Rowan, Esq., Columbia, 8. C., Dear Rowan: Your favor of the 28th of July reached here while I was absent on circuit, and before 1 received it the time for your meeting had nassed. 1 have, for presentation to the Survivors of Richland, two in teresting flags, one Magruder’s battle flag, under which we fought the battle of Big Bethel. The battle flag adopted by our army subsequently superceded the u s e of this. They were turned in to the quartermaster and 1 got this and used it for a headquarter’s flag. The other flag is a battle flag of the Con federate army picked up on the battlefield of Chicamauga at the close of that fight. I made diligent inquiry, but could never find the owners. I thought it must belong to some regiment of Grace’s Brigade, who fought about where it was found, but they all disclaimed it. These flags you must let me send to you. I would (as you suggest) present them in person, but shall be fully occupied with official duties for many months to come. Joseph B. Kershaw. Trying to Get a Fit, [Alabama Soldier.] With Stonewall Jackson straggling, especially during a forward march, was an unpar donable offence; but there was one instance in which it was promptly condoned. During one of the forced marches, along in the summer of ’62, through the pine and ’simmmon regions, he stopped to consult with some general officers till the whole command had passed some dis tance. Riding forward to the front he discovered a private of his ,old brigade up a ’simmon tree. “What are you doing so far in the rear?’’ cried the general. “I’m eating ’simmons,” said the soldier. “Why, they’re not ripe,” said the general, with some sarcasm “I know it,” said the soldier, “I want ’em green.” “Why do you eat green ’sim mons?” said old Blue Light. “To draw my stomach up to fit my rations,” said old Web Foot. Enough! The hero drew the old slouch cap down over his eyes and rode on abashed and subdued into silence. PARTED BY HIS VIOLIN. STORY OF YOUNO LOVE DIO NOT RUN SMOOTH.

Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keepers of the Gov. Light house aj Sand Beach, Mich, and are blessed with a daughter, four years old. Last April she was taken down with Measles, followed with a dreadful Cough and turning into a Fever. Doc tors at home and at Detroit treated her, but in vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she was a mere “handful of bones”.—Then she tried Dr. King's New Dis covery and after the use of two and a half bottles, was com pletely cured. They say Dr. King’s New Discovery is worth its weight in gold, yet you may get a trial bottle free at Will- cox & Co’s Drugstore.
