that there was 20 fighting. The regi-

plateau and went into camp. 1t had

into the hottest of the fight by a private,
and that it should have brought off the

Duke Wyle was no coward. There

covered from his surprise and was now
willing to take all the credit extended.
"Yes, you did a power 10 help drive
'em back, replied the officer, land
I'll see that you arc properly rewarded.
By the way, Ike, what are the men say
ing about that Yankee?"
"Ho un cant be no Yank."
"Why not?"
why, he IN fout dead agin 'em.
They all is sayin that he's a shorter to

Look here, Ike, don't you be taken

Exactly. You had him boxed up
that night. He wasn't ready to skip,
and he was afraid Of being coated. He
reckoned on deserving to his friends

Then why didn't we uns fix 'em?"
I'VE had our eyes on him, but he was
too sharp for US. He knew we were
watching him, and he didn't dar' to
bolt. He had a letter plan than that.
When he grabbed that flag and led you

first to follow-do you know what his
plan was?"
ITO git that cannon, reckon"

"Yo' doan' say!"
But | do! 1 know all about it. If
| hadn't followed ON with the rest of

got back alive"
Then, dod rot his Yankee hide, why
doan' W. lbs jump right onto him
~heavy?" shouted the excited Ike.
N'Because we've no positive proofs,
you see. Hes been too deep and sly thus
far. You see, he's even fooled almost
every man in our company. You

why doan' yo' un git him out?"
asked Ike after q moment reflection.
I'D like to, but how can /? I've
just come IRON brigade headquarters,
where General Jackson asked after him

he made the usual arguments in support

to clear mountain stream. His answer
to the assertion that morals could not be

was for the better control and not for the

That while the exhibit will be essentially

it. This is a proper subject for the cham
Der of commerce to take up, a few dollars
spent by them in securing an exhibit

not expect anything from that source, for
half OF them have not paid the "two-bits"
membership fees due last January, and
so we appeal to patriotic individuals to
make an effort to send something to add
to the exhibit. If the ranchers and gard
eners will send exhibits of fruits, vcgeta-
bles, grains and grasses, as good an ex-
hibit can be made as from any part of the
