chestnuts to be found anywhere in the
country are al J. w. Recess at his home
near Holly Springs, in this county. Ger
tain they are the Oldest we ever saw, heard
of or ate. In the fall Of 1850 I'll. c. Hughes,
then living near where Holly Springs is now
located, gathered a lot Of chestnuts as he
was accustomed to do every year. Some of
these he put in small pouch or sack and
laid them away When the war began be
sholldered his musset and went to battle
for his home and loved ones, but
unfortunately never returned, having been
mortaliy wounded on the battle field. His
sister, Mrs. j. w. Reece, gathered his
things up and put them away, and among
them was this little sack OF ca stnuts,
which were shown us last Friday by Mr..

as sound as they ever were; there are no
worm holes in them, and they are not
shriveled up more than any you may now
buy that were gathered last fall.
