KELTON Kelton, April 16.?I attended the Union County Field Day last Saturday and found a large gathering of young people and many old ones. All were enjoying themselves. I like to see people enjoy themselves. I was at the park but a short time, only to see two or three races. The looked-for cyclone in the person of W. D. Upshaw arrived in due time time and gave the Pea Ridge people and interesting talk on prohibition. Tie is a very interesting speaker, having something to say and no trouble to say it. At times he would have his audience in an uproar of laughter, and the next minute having them seriously thinking. We don't think enough, we sit idle and let others do our thinking: We had better have been bencte tVmw I have minds and not use them, right. I heard in Union Saturday that the Johnson Rifles would leave for camp life Sunday, the 15th. That carries my mind back 56 years and two days when the Pea Ridge left Union for Confederate service on the 13th day of April, 1861, many of them never to return to see their loved ones again. I will give your readers the names of one family connection that fell on the battlefields or died with disease during the four years of a dreadful war, most of them belonged to the same company, all of them first cousins except one. I will begin at the family that suffered heaviest: John Gallman, four sons, three killed on the battlefields, nnd one died with disease. Daniel Gallman, three sons, one killed, one died and one came through. George Gallman, one son survived the war. Lemuel Gallman and onlv son Abram: he is livinp today but his father was killed in the first battle that he was in. Reuben Gallman, only one son, killed. David Gallman, only one son, died since the war. Waters Farr, five sons, one or two died or were killed durinp the war, only one livinp. D. J. FaTr, Abram Free, one only son still livinp. G. W. Gault, three sons, one died since the war, two still livinp. Twenty in all, 19 first cousins and one uncle; ten killed or died durinp the war, five still livinp. You will see one-half lost, one-fourth still livinp. These fipures show you the fruits of war; all of them in the bloom of life, save one?and brave men, not one of them havinp a blot on his fair name. When you Tead such records who wouldn't say war is terrible. Our dear boys who are enlistinp in the arrny now and leavinp may fare even worse than the families named above. I hope that none of our boys will be called to po across the preat deep for the vessels mipht strike a mine or be torpedoed and whole companies or repiments be sent to the bottom. These are serious thinps to think about, especially we who have had war experience. We hear much talk of the hiph cost ' i:^j i? * ui living uui some 01 us Know what ? high prices were during the Civil war. HMMMfalMBkhmond, Va., I paid 50 cents for one medium sized cooked sweet potato and in camp T have paid $3.00 for a single loaf of bread not near i as light as we can get now for 10 g cents. As soon as war was declared s the president should have issued a j proclamation calling on all the cotton 1 States to make onjy five bales of cot- s ton tft the plow and if they made over 1 that it should be taxed 10 cents a c pound as a war tax. With all the r pleas for the Southern farmers to raise more food stufF the greater part j of them are going to plant much land in cotton and it is as much a duty for j the farmers to raise something to eat as it is to send men to the front, for 1 if they can't get something to eat in the army and something for their 1 lved ones at home to eat the war would soo nend or we would have Bel- ? gium's suffering women and children in out country. If there is not a stop t to supplying Europe with our food supplies. If they haven't got supplies 7 let them stop fighting. G. T. G. P.
