1861.
The fire was burning all over the South,
and IN some places it had reached white
heat. My father, BROTHER and myself were
known as Union men. In the language of a
true rebel, we were known as white-livered
1ankees ana the heat mat WAS predominant

OF the country was the one object in view,
which we were not long in putting into

Time went on, and had been sent several
times TO Wilson County with my company,

Ii old Buck had had the courage at that

what he could have done so. My men that
were still on horseback rolled off on the
ground. Those that were dismounted fell
down also. and such a laugh-well, there
never was before, or since, a laugh like that
in Co. c, and it was kept up for an hour.
But we took old Buck just the same. We
also succeeded in getting his horse, bride
and saddle, and it was a fine one.
We took him to Nashville, turned him
over to Gen. Alvin c. Gillem, and returned
to camp. Until the close of the war. on the

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: James
Hamilton. an uncle of mine, lived is miles
from Nashville, Tenn, in Wilson County,
and when the Cumberland River would get
lew in the Summer time and the boats that
piled its waters would lay mp at Nashville, l
very often would make visit to my Uncle
Jim, and take in the camp-meetlngs, fish,
hunt and work on the farm for two or three
months-take in all the corn-shuckings, log
rollings, eat gingerbread, drink cider, 90 to
all the dances within a radius Of 10 miles,
and have real good time.
In short, half a mile from Uncle Jlms
n gentleman lived by the name of Buck
Sanders. He had daughter 10y the
name of Mary Jane. 1t somehow happened
that / and Mary Jane were in each others
company quite often. After blowing or hoe
ing all day / would saddle fresh mule,
leaving the blanket out behind the saddle,
ride over TO old Bucks, aud Mary Jane
would mount up behind me on the mule,
and in that way 60 to some dance, stay I'M
Gil daylight, and then back home in time for
breakfast, then work all day just the same
A dance was not worth going to If Mary
Jane was not going to be there, and some of
the young fellows said if you wanted TO get
Mary Jane TO a dance all you had to say was
that Henry was coming. i don't vouch for
the truth of that much of this story, but it's
O fact that every dance i went to Mary Jane
was there, and / believe every one she at
tended was there, il knew anything about
It. and generally did.

Electric BItters,

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed, when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and alternative is felt
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the hialaria1
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
