AN OHIOAN
RESTRICTS A PLEASANT INCIDENT
OF THE WAR.

MIR. 1. h, Scroggy, prominent LAWYER
of Zenia, Ohio, was in the city Saturday
until Tuesday. During the wsr he was
badly wounded and lay in a hospital, at
Marietta, one OF our churches being used
for that purpose. In the hospital, was a
wounded Confederate soldier named
Albert Pilgrim. A strong attachment
sprung up between the two, and they
promised to write to each other when the
war ended If they recovered, which looked
doubtful to both of them, as their wounds
were of serious nature. Mrs. w. B
Pilgrim, Of this place, an aunt Of the
wounded Confederate, visited him every
day carrying him some dainty morsel.
She likewise gave the same attention to
the Federel soldier. After these many
years, Mr.. Scroggy few months ago pub

making enquiries about his wounded Con-
tederate friend. This brought him re-
Spouse from Mrs. w. B. Pilgrim, telling
him of the existence Of his friend Mr..
Scroggy's visit to Georgia, with the Ohio
excursionists last week, gave him the de-
sired opportunity OF meeting Mrs. Pilgrim
and family, who were so kind to him when
he was wounded. The meeting was very
pleasant and will doubtless be cherished
with the kindest of feelings.
While in the city, Mr.. Scroggy visited
the battle grounds around Marietta, Ken
nesaw mountain and Concord. At the
latter place, during the war, was where
the murdeous minnie came near termina-
ting his earthly career After quarter of
a century it was hard to locate the spot
where he fell, but it is thought he identi-
fed the place. 60.
Mr.. Scroggy is gentleman Of culture

A STOLEN SADDLE.

owner of the animal and he appeared in
the person of Milton Wrinkle, negro, who
lives in the country He claimed the
horse, but he did not know how his Old
saddle got on Mr.. Casey's horse, nor how
Mr.. Casey's new saddle got on his horse.
He said he sent a negro named Josh after
his horse and he must have made the ex>

and Wrinkle arrested, but the case was
finally compromised by Wrinkle paying the

THAT OLD BRIDGE.
An Arabic Poem Translated from the ORR
ginal Greek by Remraf 81. Caeb

When strangers come TO inspect our town,
The Gem, of such far-famed renown,
What is it cools their ardor down
'Tis that Old Bridge.
Your all" they say, is mild and pure,
Your climate will good health insure,
But one thing we cannot endure
Tis that Old Bridge"
~ GU have, we see, the electric light
Which lights the town, (sometimes) at
night,
But there is one appalling sight,
'Tis that Old Bridge"
odd kennesaw, SO grand and high,
Majestic, rises to the sky,
We turn from that-what meets our eye?
IT'S that Old Bridge"
Your town, with beauty SO engirt,
Has just one horror on her skirt,
Which stays there to her lasting hurt,
IT'S that Old Bridge"
Come, city fathers! We are proud
OF each one liz the official crowd,
But, if you'd hear your praise sound loud,
Build-a-New Bridge.
You boast about your Kennesaw,
About your homes OF beauty,-pshaw
There's one thing Kenne never saw,
Tis that New Bridge.
From city out to Powder Springs,
And back again, the echo rings,
This is the song each traveller sings,
Where's that new bridge p
Come winds Come fire Come swift de-
cay!
Ye powers that be, come quickly, pray
Come, take that ugly bridge away
Come, New Iron Bridge

The Wholesale grocers of the
country have formed a combination
to put up the price of sugar Is cents
barrel. They say they have been
losing for the last four or five years
from s1.90 to $3.50 on every barrel
of sugar they have sold. The pro-
posed increase will, of course, come
out of the pockets of the consumers.
The amount of sugar now used in
this country is so great-about fifty
eight pounds per capita-that the
proposed increase will take yearly
about 100000 out of the pockets
of consumers.

from twenty-five to thirty little silver
