In continuing ray renrniscential
chit-chat I reprodnce from an old
bcJiramed and mutilated copy of the
l?iih-uoml Examiner of May 13,
1804, an account ?f the wounding
and death of Gen'l J. E. B. Stuart,
vh'ch no d' ubt our readers will ap
predate, It 33p:
"Major General J. E. B. Stuart,
t' e m niel of Virginia cavalries, the
da-lung chieftain, whose name was
a t.aror to the enemy, and familiar
as u ho isehold word in two contiv
nents is dead, struck down by a bullet
from a dastardly foe, and the
whole Confederacy unurr.s him. lie
breathed out his gallant spirit resignedly,
an?l in fu'l possession of
all his remarkable faculties of m'nd
a id body, at twenty-two iniuutes to
eight o'clock. Thursday night, at the
residence of Dr. Brewer, a rclati'.e,
on Grace street, in the piesence of
Dr3. Brewer, Garnett, Gibson and
Fountaine, ofhisstafT; Rev. Mess's.
Peterkin and Ivcpler, and a circle of
sorrow stricken comrades and friends.
"We learn from the physicians in
attendance upon the General that
his condition during tho day was
very changeable, with occasional delerium,
and other unmistakable symptoms
of speedy dissolution. In the
moments of delirium the General's
mind wandered, and like the immorJ

4 his faculties were busied with the
.details of his command. lie reviewed,
in broken sentences, all his glorious
campaigns around McClellan's
rear on the Pcninsu'a, bevend the
Potomac, and upon the llapidan,
quoting his orders and issuing new
ones to his couriers, with a last in
junction to 'make haste.'
% ''About noon, Thursday, President
Davis visited his bedside, and
spent some fifteen minutes in the
chamber of his dying favorite chief
tain. The President, taking his
hand, 6aid, 'General, how do you
f?.eT He replied, 'Easy, but willing
to die, if God and my country think
I have fulfilled my destiny and done
my duty.' As the evening approached,

cd to the battlefields, over which he
|k had fought, then off to his wife and
children, and iff again to the front.
A telegraphic message had been sent
to his wife, who was in the country,
W :h the injunction to make all haste
as the General was dangerously
woundod. Some thoughtless, but
unauthorized person, thinking probably
to spare his wife pain altered
the dispatch to 'slightly wounded,'
and it was thus she received it, and
Odid not puake that haste which she
otherwise would have done to reach
his side,
"As evening woro on the paroxysms
of pain increased, and mortification
set in rapidly. Though suffering
the greatest agony at times, the
General was calm, and applied to
the wound, with his own hand, the
ice intended to relieve the pain.
During the evening ho asked Dr.
. Brewer how long he thought he could
live, and whether it was possiblo for
him to survive through the night.
The doctor, knowing he did not like
to be buoved by false hones, told
him fraukly that death, the last
. enemy, was fast approaching. The
General nodded and said, *1 am re<
signed if it be God's will; but I would
like to s.e my wife. But God's will
be done.' Several times ho roused
up and asked if she had come.
*To tho doctor, who sat holding
? his wrist, and counting the fleeting,
weakening pulse, he remarked: 'Doctor,
I suppose I ain going fast now.
It will so >n be over. But God's
will be done. I hope I have fula
filled my destiny to my country and
^ ?ny duty to my God.'
'At half past seven o'clock it was
evident to the physicians that death
was setting its clammy seal upon the
brave, open brow of the General, and
/
tiiey to'.d him so?isked if ho h
any last message to gi*o. The G<

out I believe it is cheaper to feelsor

to cure it for dry feed, and buy corn

economical mule or horse, doing little

can't. It may be troublesome, but
in hard times, short crops, and other
things, I believe in using green feed
if I have it, until frost cuts me off

I have heard people, farmers, say
it is better and cheap'r to buy meet
than to raise hogs. If one is prepared
fir it, it is cheaper to raise it.
They can bo better prepared even if
they are renters. A small pasture
and various soiling crops help. When
bacon is up in the top notch and no
prospect for it coming down for some
tine, l believe it is far cheaper to
raise it than to buy, or learn to do
without. If one dopendi on buying
he will have to do without some.

It is tny pad duty to record the
death of J. G. llam s, Sr., one of
Cherokee's oldest and most highly
respected citizens, which occurred
Sept. 21st. 1902. Mr. Ilauies was
born near Mt. Moriah, Union county,
S. C , Feb 3, 1814. Ou reaching
manhood he settled on Pacolet river
two miles west of where he was born
and began, life for himself. After
remaining a bachelor for five years
and at the age of thirty-one he took
unto himself a wife, a Miss Sallie
Allen, the beautiful sixteen vear old
daughtei of Mr. Willis Allen, of
Bowldensville, S. C. This might bo
termed a May and December marriage,
nevertheless it was a happy
and prosperous one. Four sons and
two daughters blessed this union and
when each one of them married he
presented them with a traot of land
and a suit of household furniture.
lie remained on Packet river for
fourteen years, then in the year '59
moved one mile west of his old home
to what was then known as the "Cook
place," and for the exception of one
year's absence in tho Civil War he
remained in two miles of where he
was born until the hour of his death,
a noble living example for others.
In 1863 ho was elected Lieutenant
of tho S. C. State troops and remained
in the army one year but
taking no active part in any of the
battles being over age, ncveitheless
he was as true and loyal to his country
as those who fought iu the iercest
battles. In life ho was ever ready
to respond to duty's call, so it was in

flames' death was caused pan'y from
