Moultrie Banner Last Friday as the CON
federate veterans were having badges pinned
on and falling INTO line to march, man who
we are reliable informed never did go TO the
front with the boys, but lay hidden in
swamps to keep out Of duty, had the cheek
TO allow badge pinned to the lapel of his
coat and dared to 90 Into the ranks to march
with the brave fellows who went untlinching
to the front. How ashamed he must have
felt, II he had any conscience at all. We will
withhold his name-not on his own account,
but on account Of connection who had man
hood enough to go to the front and share
hardsh1ps' victory and spoils with all who
had true manhood. We trust that this will
come before his eyes and his conscience may
trouble him sufficient that he may never put
himself again in the ranks OF the Confederate
Veterans Association Of Colquitt county.

the plantation and the hands hurriedly
mounted their animals and started

Brooks mare" was going in a
fast lope across the field when she stumbled
and fell. When she recovered and rose to
her feet again her rider was horrified by the
discovery that she had lost both her front
feet. She had actually thrown both fore feet
of, the members becoming unjointed at the
ankle, and when she stood up the feet were
dangling by the skin and the ends of the now
footless legs went through the skin into the
ground. The poor animal was, OF course,
killed and relieved OF her misery.
