HE GOT A TURLOUGH.
From the Athens Banner.

From the Athens Banner
Charlie Duncan, now living in Jackson
county, was a member of the Banks County
Guards, and as gallant soldier as ever pulled
O trigger.
Charlie wanted furlough, and wanted it
bad, but how to get it was the question. In
the battles around Richmond he could not
even get clipped by a bullet After the battle
Of Malvern Hill was fought and the wounded
charge of Charlie with orders to carry them to
hospital.
When Charlie arrived 1t the hospital with
about twenty Of the Banks county Guards who
had been wounded in the fight he saw that
the surgeons were giving every one a furlough
who had slight wound. Here
was his chance, and he took
advantage OF it. He had got blood all over his
clothing from assisting the wounded, and las
each one marched UP and was questioned by
the surgeons, a furlough for thirty or sixty
days was filled out. 1T last came to Charles
time. as he brought up the rear Of tho squad,
and doubling himself up into knot and groan-
ing terribly, said: doctor, / am shot through
the side with aminnie ball"
The surgeon asked him If he thought he
could make the trip to his home. Charlie in
formed him that he was suffering considerably,
but thought that if he had sixty DAYS fur
ough he could stand the ride home although
it was long way. He still kept his hands to
his side and groaned piteously.
A furlough was filed out and Charlie was
soon aboard the train speeding towards the
dear ones at home. He fooled the surgeons
good, and after staying out his furIough, came
back, and was with the gallant few at the sur
