OUR WOMEN IN THE
WAR.

EY MRS. JAMES KYLE, CLYNCH CO., GA.
correspondence of the Charleston News.l
As the United States Arsenal was
situated at Fayetteville, the first act
WIS the order that the militia should
be sent out. The Independent Com
pmy (organized in 1889 and the
l. L.Fayette Company were the two
organized companies of the town,
and they marched to the Arsenal
April the 10th, 1859. Col. Ander-
son was in command, but he being
sick, the command devolved upon
Col. De Lagnal, who, finding it use
less to make any resistance, asked
permission to salute the flag, which
was granted, and he then turned
the Arsenal over to the forces. The
Arsenal was then garrisoned by the
ln;lependent Company, and this
COMPANY and the Lafayette Com
panv offered their services to Gov
ernor Vance and entered for six
months. My husband and cousin
w.re both members Of the lndepend-
cnt Company.
On the day the companies marched
away our work commenced. " t
Immediately organized our Soldiers
Aid Association, determining, with
the help of God, that no soldier 5
family should suffer. Our first act
was tn write to Raleigh. n. c., for
a contract to make drawers and
shirts. The material was furnished
us and we cut the garments, giving
them to the soldiers wives to make.
The Independent and Lafayette
Companies were sent on to Virginia
and took part in the memorable bat
tie of Bethel, which occurred June
10, 1861. Of course our town was
filled with mourning and lamenta-
tions when the news of the battle
reached us, for so many from our
midst were there that we could not
help thinking that part Of them
ut least had fallen. Our mourning
was soon turned into JOY, however,
as we heard that we had not lost a
single man from either OF our COM
plnles.
In a few davs [ left my mother
for our summer home in Wytheville,
Va. where | found plenty OF work
to do, as Floyd's Brigade was quar-
tered near the town. The measles,
one of the evils of camp life, broke
out. Mrs. Alex. Stuart, a slster-ln7
law of J. +. B. Stewart, and as no.
bic a woman as he was great man,
and myself rented rooms III the old
Hallar House, and sent word to
Gen. Floyd that we were ready to
take charge Of the sick. We had
ti,irty-two cases of measles from the
Patrick Company at one time. Al
ter his command left the building
was turned into a Wayside Hospital
and taken charge of by the ladies
of the town. AS it was right on the
railroad troops were constantly pass
ING. and it was a haven OF rest to
many poor, weary soldier. When
ever we received kilograms saying
that troops were coming we were al
ways at the depot with lunch for
them. -,
returned home with my mother
the lst of October, and then 1T was
that our work for the soldiers COM
menced in earnest. Every carpet
and curtain that was available was
turned in blankets, as we felt we
must make every effort to have ev-
erything in readiness for the winter
campaign. We worked then with
willing hands and light hearts.
With Lee and Jackson as our lead
ers how could we think of anything
bnt victory? Everything seemed SO
bright and hopeful. Our six months

Cholera in Europe.

Up to now the cholera has slain
1892 persons in Europe. This is
the work of the plague for IA period
of less than four months. Nearly
one-half of these deaths occurred in
the Province of Naples, although the
pestilence first fell upon the Medi-
terranean cities of France. Owing
to the great ignorance and super
stition of the people, and the accu-
mutation Of filth in the places where
they live, the disease appears to have
run its course in cities and villages
alike, and to have defied the labors
of the authorities. In the last week
it. has been found in three addition
al departments of France, and it IS
now knocking at the gates OF Paris.

York's Union Blood.

DR.. York said here last Saturday
that he was opposed to the war, and
that he was a staunch Union man
throughout the struggle. He said
he sent his wife's relations to the
war, and he staid home to take care
of the poor boys when they were
sent back from the army. Twas a
rich mans war, he said, brought on
by ''broken down, secesh Demo-
crats,' the same men who were now
trying to get control of the Gov
ernment.
In reply Col. Morehead said such
assertions from such a source was
unworthy of notice, but as Il COM
plete answer to all such such stuff he
would read the following certificate: !:
WILKEsBORO, N. G., Sept. II,
STATE of North CAROLINA,
WILKES COUNTY.
We, the undersigned, certify that we
were members of Col. w. F. BARRIERS
company of Confederate soldiers, and
were present at it's organization, and
that Dr. Tyre York ran for first lieuten-
ant of said company, and in his speech
he said there had been false reports cir
culated against him; "that he was a
Union man or entertained Union senti
ments; that such a report was false and
slanderous, and that if he knew he had
4 drop Of Union blood in him he would
open vein himself and let it out " or
words to this effect.
[Signed1 JAMES 1IICKERSON,
GEO. w. SALE,
w. u. SHAW.
Turning to DR.. York, he asked
him if he knew the men who signed
the certificate.
He answered, Yes.
Are they reliable men?
No answer.
Are they truthful men?
No answer.
Does this certificate speak the
truth?
No answer
Answer. Doctor does it speak the
truth?
No answer.
Tell these Guilford people, Doctor,
does it express the truth, or is it a
lie?
He answered at last, lit does not
express the truth.
All right, Doctor, said Col. More
head, | know the men who signed
this certificate to be honorable and
truthful men, and they shall know
your answer.
In his rejoinder DR.. York said
the men who signed that certificate
were 'secesh Democrats" men he
had whipped for the last eighteen
years in Wilkes county, and that
the charges against his loyalty to
the Union was "as false as hell and
black as midnight" ."-P0t,1ot.

plest and best ways of cooking is to cut the
stalks into small pieces, about an inch in
length; put the ends, which are always lit

put very little pinch of soda in the water.
Boil in sailed water just sufficient to cover.
so that when done very little will be left.
Stir in piece of butter and serve hot. Some
times the stalks are laid on slices of buttered
toast.
Foaming Sauce: Cream half cup of butter
till very light, and add heaping cup of SUI
gar, beating both till white Set the bowl in
which it was beaten into a pan of boiling
water, and allow it to melt slowly. Just be-
fore, but not before, pour into it slowly half
