young soldier OF whom I have been
talking. As he came up, and halted
moment to talk, noted his striking
appearance. His clothing was 30 dusty
that it looked more like confederate gray
than Union blue; his face was stained
with smoke; he had tied white hand
kerchief about his neck. and it's loose
folds fell down his back; but In his walk
and bearing there was no trace OF either
fatigue or lassitude. His step was even
firmer, his bearing more erect than usual;
his brave eyes sparkled with the excite
ment of the near approaching fight.
In less than half an hour he was in the
midst of it, and all day long, as the battle
ebbed and flowed, and the air was turned
to powder and smoke, and shells tore
through the woods, and the roar Of musk
etry grew so dense that it drowned the
thunder of the cannon, his courage and
enthusiasm were conspicuously illus
trated. At dusk our division was re-
lieved, and he marched his company to
the field assigned for our bivOuac.
Over fifty per cent. of his men had been
killed or wounded, but he was unhurt.
An hour later, after the command had
had cooked and eaten hasty meal, the
first since morning, he came to me and
asked permission to take q small squad
of his company and 60 to the front. 81
think" he said, that I may be able to
fluid some of my boys who are wounded"
I gave the requested permission, but
warned him not to 60 too far, calling his
attention to the constant firing OF the
picket lines. A bright smile lighted up
his face as he said: "Oh, I'll be careful.
But that rattle is feeble after the roar of
to-day" And giving his usual quick,
graceful military salute, he wheeled and
walked away out of the light of the camp
fire into the darkness.
never saw him again. An hour later
the men he had taken with him returned
and reported that he had run into squad
of the enemy; that the captain had been
shot through the heart and instantly
killed; and that they were unable to
bring in his body.
Thus ended the life of young Edgar P.
Trego, ga soldier without fear and with
out reproach." From the dull level of
everyday walks and ways he stepped at
once into the great events of great era,
and became hero aud martyr for q
great cause. One of the counties OF this
state bears his name, and is hOnOred by
it. His remains, recovered months after
his death, repose in the beautiful national
| cemetery at Chattanooga, with those OF
| nearly 10000 other soldiers who gave up
their lives that the country might live.
Brave, good and true,
see him stand before me now,
And read again on that young brow,
Where every hope was new,
How sweet were life! Yet by the mouth hrm-set
And 1ooE do for nj
I could divine he knew
That death within the sulphurous hostile lines,
In the mere wreck of nobly pitched designs,
Plucks hearts ease and not rue"

Last Monday serious pitch battle
was fought near the north line of this
county, but whether in Ness or Trego we
could not learn. Some time ago two
families by the name of Hiatt and Rogers
had some difficulty concerning some
wheat that was spilled by a runaway
team at Ransom. Monday morning the
contention was renewed, when Hiatt and
two sons attacked Ivan Rogers and his
boy, using them up 80 badly that it was
necessary to call in the services OF
physician to dress the wounds inflicted.
The elder Rogers had his head split open
with some kind of an implement, while
his boy was so seriously injured as to be
insensible-Ness Cozaty Neas,
