OLD SOLDIERS' REUNION.
'I Comrades of the 60's Meet at Festive
Board and Talk Old Times.
^ Taft, October 21:?Fair Aurora's
9 cheeks blushed with pride on the
jT morning: of October 12, when a few
& old Confederate veterans met at the
^ over-welcoming: home of Mr S E Meff
Cullou?h near Taft, to celebrate
B their third reunion. The day was inB
deed one of rare loveliress and aid$
ed well the representatives of South\
era independence to spend an enj?
? chanted anniversary of retrospec
^ tion away back into the "Sixties."
TV old soldiers who enjoyed this
J c^^ion were: , Mr, J P Shaw of
| Ri^rstree, Mr T A McCants of Anil
ft drews and Mr W A Cooper, (famill
,f iarly^nown as "Uncle Bully") of
r -SJlKns. These are the only sur- j

of thirteen of Capt Gaillard's con>

As we look upon these old soldiers
we quickly recall the flight of years,
for 'tis but a short time ago, that
this little band of comrades numbered
four instead of three. Now, as
they come together to spend the loyal
day of war times, there is a silence,
a sudden stillness, as each old
# "Vet" grasps the hand of his com|L
rade. A dear old face has left them,
jP a voice is hushed and still, the ReapB

into sleep. The roll in the camp

kept the guests from thinking that

memories from "Grimm's Fairy

with "Once upon a time." Then,
too, after four years of struggle the
last goblin got us, "which was not at

when all children were good. (?)
W These three old soldiers whom I
I have named set forth on the mornB

seemed robed in brightness. Yet
for the cause of the dear old Soutn

no hallowed scenes would greet his
eye; each heart is filled with '"memories
that bless and burn." Hope
rises up and presses them onward
they once more dream of the golden
chrysalis, wherefrom the brightness
of the future will take wings.
As the soldiers sit around :n the
stillness of the evening camp-fire
their thoughts wander to the happy
scenes at home, where supper is being
served. No such luck is the soldiers'
joy, so with empty knapsacks
away they go to the fields of green
corn. The voice of each young Apollo
is heard "'way down yonder in
the corn field," as he gathers his
roasting ears

but no fooling Mr Shaw and Mr
Cooper; they were ready volunteers,
for 'twas the tocsin of the dinner
bell. They were ushered to the fesj
tive board where, to say the least,
the table swayed with good things to
eat. The ladies, always the pride
of our fair Southland, were most
ardent in all tender graces that pertain
to a charming day, their gracious
tokens of Southern hospitality
were seen in the superlative degree,
and especially in the dining-room.
As the guests left the room each
paid a smiling tribute to Pacchus
and was rewarded with a refreshing
glass of punch.
' Then the sweet strains of music
I IpH iis all to the Dorch. where we
sat listening to the soft melody of
songs refining, inspiring and patriotic.
At last the stirring strains oi
"Dixie" sent us back to the four long
years of blood-shed and sorrow,
' which ended ir defeat and humiliation?hope
and faith were crushed
to the earth, the flag of the Confederacy
that had created many a wave
sank into the sea of glory to rise no
more.
Now, as we look upon the old Con;
federate veterans knowing that

with a feeling of greatest pride that
j we give to them our hearts' gladdest
rays, for before us come those epic
, days of nob*le heroism when each
' soldier was conspicuous for his gallantry.
Love and reason should blend
and arch the pathway of each far
'into the years time has marched
them, as the call of their country
sent them to war.
: After planning for just another
1 such reunion day next October our
j living monuments of the past spoke
! the saddest word of life's lexicon,
i "farewell"?with hearts full of joy
that almost blotted each doubt, came
j the bright hope that we will meet
j another day. May sunbeams glad

flowers of chivalry, the Confederate

HELD FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.
Former Express Messenger Indicted
at Asbeville.
AshevilJe, N C, October 22:?At
to-day's session of the criminal term
of Superior Court the grand jury returned
a true bill charging E FCarr,

by the Southern Express company,

the car on which he was employed
during the latter part of August,
and the express company will assist
in his prosecution at this term of
Court. The case will be called during
the early part of next week.
On the night of the robbery Carr
was found locked in a chest used for
the transportation of valuables when
the train arrived at the local station
about midnight. He stated that he
had been held up by a highwayman
and forced to surrender the valuables
in his possession. He was arrested a
short time after the alleged robbery.
When you have a b \d cold you
want the best medicine obtainable
so as to cure it with as little delay as ?
possible. Here is a druggist's opin
ion: "I have soia .-fcnamueriajn s
Cough Remedy for fifteen years,"
says Enos Lollar of Saratoga, Ind,
and consider it the best on the market."
For sale by all dealers.
