An Old Comrades Tribute to

days when the good old State of

Jewels in her crown of jewels than
in that worn by any other State in
this great Union of States. Then,
IN up to 1850, when the bright and
handsome Edgefeld boys donned
the blue cockade of the Minute
Men, whose motto was, Equality
IN the Union or independence o'a

us to the 9Th day of Janua y. 1851,
when Capt. Cicero Adams march

field Rifles, one hundred ard three
of the gamest boys that ever went
to war, most of them from fifteen
to twenty-five years of age, going
to Charleston in response to Gov.
Pickt ps's call for troops to capture
Fort Sumter. Seventy.fye pei
