clerk in Dent county. He was born and
raised to manhood in Iron county, comes of

tended the unveiling of the soldier statue in
Judge Emerson's Park, on Monday of last
week, found three of their old regiment To-
Gated in and near lronton. These three are
Aaron Elliot, Joseph Hasty, and VIM. Jones,
but they were equal to whole company in
looking after and taking care of their old
comrades. 1t was reunion, in fact, with
them, and the parting would have been like
ne breaking up of happy family, had not

again and again, and renew old associations.
Let them come, and they will find the same
