The fascinating game of euchre has
struck our town in a more interesting
form than ever, which is attributable, no
| doubt, to the fact that we have so many
| experts in that line. Just who is the
champion is yet unsettled but at last
accounts L. Wheeler and Otto bunker
led the van.
The annual town meeting will be
| held in this place on Tuesday, March 2,
1886. A full set of officers are to be
elected this year and Judging from the
smooth and satisfactory n in
which the affairs of our town have been
conducted the past year we a per
ceiye no particular reaSOn for making
| any material changes in any of the Of
fees. The present board of supervisors
will doubtless be reelected unless some
of them positively decline to accept.
w. |. Steere, town clerk, has always
filled that office with credit to himself
and if he wants the office another year
his friends will see that nc gets it. The
treaSuryship is one of the most import
ant offices in the town and from present
appearances we are inclined to the
| opinion that the present incumbent, j.
E. Humphrey, will be returned at least
another year. The a~ssessoTial office is
one that u people cannot we'll afford
to overlook and as MIR. Bryan filled the
bill so well. last year, why not tender
r. F. Won Tobel fulfil their positions as
justices of the peaoe very acceptably
and to retain them in office would only
be a natural consequence. AS the town
will be divided into eight road districts
there will be eight road Overseers to
elect instead of two as formerly. This
concludes the ticket with the exception
of the election of an Overseer of the
poor, but a boy ten years old could act
in that capacity, inasmuch as business
in that line is, we are happy to state,
decidedly limited. Due notice of caucus
| will be given.

Colorcd Confederate Soldiers,

Washington Republican.
There was u colored man, John
Downs, | believe his name was), who
was cook to one OF the companies OF
the Seventeenth Virginia regiment.
Just before the brigade was ordered
into the fight and they were almost
starved, he came to the front while
the were huggihg the g"ound pre-.
paratory to n forward movement,
with two bigpots ofsoup swinging from
his shoulders b. q bar.
He had scarcely reached the line
when q round shot struck one OF his
cans, and smashed il into pieces. With
a comical look he took off his hat and
said to the captain Of the company IN
whose service he was: 81 suppose
you'll have to go Oh hall rations
again. These Yankees don't want us
to eat nothing. That's the best soup
that ever was split" Now, although
this mar was under heavy fire at the
tlme-bullets whlstling all around him
he stopped and told the boys what a
nice mess of soup he had made for
them, and how he had managed to get
the onions, vegetables, etc, which
went into its component parts. He
set med utterly oblivious ofthe danger
he was III, except to look toward the
Federal batteries, and shake bis fist
at them for knocking over his soup
pot. You may be sure that John was
a lion III the regiment.
Another instance. We used to have
a coiored man who rejoiced in the cog
nomon of Zip" He was generally
liked throughout the regiment for his
courteous bearing and his ready wit.
He was q servant OF one OF the Off
GERS, but at this date | forget which.
At the battle OF Antietam, when the
fight was ct its worst for the Con-
federate side, Zip" crept up to the.
battle line, above the stone bridge
where Burnside's corps charged over,
and he found one of the Seventh Regi-
ment propped against q tree
and fast bleeding to death from
n wound in the femoral artery.
He did his best to stop the flow OF
blood; and when General A. p. Hills
men came TO the rescue it was found
that he was still holding the bandage
to the wound of the dead man, and
he had himself been wounded in two
places. You may be sure that that
fellow never wanted for anything
either in the hospital or when he re.
joined us that "a possible for us to
give him.
Another case. There was a young
colored man who followed his master
from South Carolina. At the battle
Of Cold Harbor, after the Wilderness
fight, where his master was ensign OF
his regiment when the fight was the
heaviest and thickest, The ensign fell
and the colored man, who had been
lying on his face in the rear of the
fighting line, as soon rs he saw the
flag fall, rushed forward and snatched
it from the hands OF the color guard
whose duty it was next to bear il
aloit, and he was permitted to hold
it up as he stood behind the earth
works with one foot on either side OF
his dead. p. j.. MURRAY.

to them that this gentle old man was
surrounded by invisible ones in whose
gentle ministrations they two could
have no part. Till at sunset d won
derful thing happened; the gray mists
rose from the valley, and lifting slow
ly rolled from the far a~,ountain tops.
The shining river became visible once
more; n barge went down with gIeam-
ing lights-toward the sea-toward
some landing. A chamber OF gold and
crimson light opened in the west, a
great glory streamed out OF it and
flooded all the earth. This beautiful
wonder of light rolled en-, until it
streamed slanting through the null
lioned window, making the hall radi-
ant.
James Milton turned his pale face TO
the warm red andyellow color; and so
1t was that a door opened in that
flood of light. and the gentle stranger
passed through it out OF the old house
forever.
When Guy came homeland he did

ending, swapping short always like the
old forgotten songs.
Guy grew confused; heconsoled him.

Dorothy now-and she Is mine"
But don't you think now, Guy"

and up there, hand inland, they have

How to Make Winter Evenings
Profitable.

This is the season of short days
and long evenings, the best time of all
the year for study and Improvement.
Perhaps you are a young nan desir-
Gus OF obtaining commercial employ
ment. One OF the best passports in
that direction, next togood character,
is good handwriting. OF course, you
know how to write, but like the great
majority, probably, you have never
trained yourself to write well. No
merchant wants his books disfigured
by awkward and illegible scrawling.
No lawyer viii submit to badly writ
ten copies. We suggest you devote
yourself this winter to preserving en-
deavors to improve your pen
mauship. You will be surprised at the
Improvement which zeal effort in this
line viii achieve. Maybe YOU would
like to learn stenography and type
writing. The faithful employment OF
your winter evenings in this work may
make you n first class graduate before
the long days come again and enable
you to earn q handsome support. Do
yva wish to become expert as a me-
chanical draughtsman? There are
excellent instruction books sold very
cheaply. The industrious occupation
of your evening hours as a learner
viii surely be fruitful OF resuivS. We
know OF excellent draughtsmen now
enjoying good salaries who taught
themselves to draw in evening hours,
while companions idled away their
timein smoking. cards, or gossip. Are
you OF an Inventive turn of mind?
The best of all times to study up and
think out plans for new contri.
vances is in tho quietude OF
evening. The results of earnest
thought i'm the production OF
inventions are simply astonishing. In
general, il isthe improvements in SIM
pie devices, things Of every day use
and that everybody wants which arc
tho most profitable. The patent for
the little invention OF the spring VIM
dos Stakeholder. now so generally EN-
ployed IN all dwellings,, has brought
great wealthto the fortunate inventor.
lie is now a millionaire. His device
was truly ahappythought. Weknowof

the invention of n moving belt for
drying eggs, albumen, etc. have revo-
intionized certain great branches OF
trade and now bring her a great in

but it is open to everybody. There

The First Alarms at Fort Nor
gan.

From the Americas (Ga.) Recorder.
When the Madison Rifles first reach.
ed Fort Morgan, Ala, in April, 1861,
they werenot provided with tents, and
slept out on the white sand around
.hefort. There was AN Irishmaniu the
company named Anthony Judge, as
witty a fellow as ever hailed from old
Erin. About 10 O'Clock of the first
night after arrival, while all the com
pany except picket guards, stationed
4 mile of, were asleep, q still breeze
sprang up and the loose sand dritted
swiftly over the sleepers, and soonhad
some OF them covered. Anthony was
the first TO awaken, aud not seeing all
the forms OF the sleeping men, yelled:
Captain Coltart! Captain! Wake
up a HI of n shnow starm has ris,
and the last mothers son If We will be
entirely drowned il We amt up" The
drummer heard theEoise, beat lifelong
coll, and in afew minutes 1t resounded
m every camp around. The guards
were doubled, companies hurried over
the beach, but as it was feared Colonel
Hardee, who was then commandant
there, would punish Anthony, he was
never reported.
About an hour later another yell
was heard from the gulf side OF the
beach from one ofthe piCkeJs, who had
been posted while the tide was out,
and ordered not to leave his post.
The poor fellow had never been in
sight Of salt water before, and when
the tide came rolling in. stood TO his
post. When the water had risen TO
his waist, lie commenced yellingforthe
corporal of the guard. The corporal
was ut the other end OF the line. sotte
officer OF the guard went to the call.
He found his man in water up to his
neck, but still determined TO stay I'M
I'll he was ordered back. He said to
the officer: There has been the d.
biggest rain somewhere youns has
heard OF; this erik has ris twenty foot
