Tt was founght out In company, regi? mental, brigade, and "single handed" formation. No one was In command and it was a case of "every man for himself and the devil take the hind? most" until "turkey" was completely anlhllated and "wiped off the map." Thli delicious supper consisted of! the turkey aforesaid, with turkey gravy, steamed rice, turkey dressing, chicken salad, cranberry sauce, cele? ry, etc. Dellcloui coffee and chemically pure Sumter water were served as liquid refreshments as all of the "S.
