 What is prettier, any how, than pretty woman on horseback? These flashing, pretty, witty and sprightly girls have cost many fellow his heart' who will fight the harder as he thinks of them.
 When Curtis Yankees occupied Batesville, they were treated with scorn by these contemptuous little beauties, and although the place was held by an army of occupation, the people were never sub jugated. This fact proves the LADIES are really the soul of The Confectionery. A true woman al- ways dures assert cause she loves Their spirit is invincible. Their quiet influence. their cheerful sacrifices, their noble grief, their generous sympa- thy, form the palladium ot our liberties i'll this struggle.
 Even in it's distress country has cause of con graduation. The sons of the South march to glory on fields crimsoned and consecrated by their prec- ious blood while our homes are honored by women, patterns of patience and tdelity-models for the nobest ill any age of this world, or even q much better world than this has been.
