A Little Glrl;s bravery

A Confederate officer, Cen Dabney
Maury in his "Recollections of the Civil
War gives many examples of the
courage and patience shown by suffer-
ing women and children in the south
during the long struggle. One anec-
dote of little girl, Emma Samson, re-
calls the story of the brave 'segg gath
erer,' child who risked her life dur
ing the revolution for the cause of
freedom, and whose story has been
told in the Companion.
Gen. Nathan Forrest with four hun
dred men was in pursuit Of Gen.
Straight in Georgia, and had reached
the bridge over the Oostanaula when a
little country girl of fourteen ran out
into the road and signed to him to
halt. .u -: H. .-5
"The enemy" she said, shave gath
cred in great force beyond the bridge.
You cannot cross it," ...;1-
is there no ford across the river?"
demanded the officer. ..
Yes, a mile above the bridge is a
good ford.'' ~" f. IN.
Can you guide me to it?'' 49,
EYES,
He took the child up on the horse,
and she pointed the way through the
woods until they reached the ford. Dis
mounting Forrest with his officers adj
vanced cautiously through the trees to
find that the Federal troops were in
possession of the ford. They opened
fire on the Confederates, the bullets
Whlzzing around Forrest, when to his
amazement the child darted forward,
and spreading out her little frock,
cried:
Get behind me! Get behind me-!
They won't shoot at me-"
He picked her up and carried her to
place of safety, where, unframed, she
saw the skirmish which followed.
Gen. Maury gives us glimpses of in
cidents in the war unrecorded in any
history. He shows us southern Off
GERS while undergoing amputation, re-
fusing to use the scarce ether which
was contraband of war, in order to
save it for men whose wounds were
more serious, and tells us of General
Grants kindness to southern women
and prisoners.
1t Is good for us now to recognize in
Federal or Confederate soldiers only
our American brother, brave, generous
and loyal to the cause he believed to be
just.

not eat the lime, but it's fumes are very

Unsightly finger marks disappear
from vanished furniture when rubbed

steaming ceases; if necessary, repeat
the process remembering that one an

weeks ago to hold farmers institute in
connection with the festival. A commit
tee to prepare program was appointed,
and the dates fixed for September 30 and
80. No pains will be spared to make it a
great success. 1t is the legitimate work

vatory, flock or herd as well as art and
fine needlework; the products of the

curiosities. The pupils of the public
schools are invited to place on exhibi-
ton drawings and specimens of penman-
ship Other features will be added.
The grange has secured for lecture

Pacific"
Fuller particulars will be made public

lie spirited citizen should be anxious to
see them and contribute something
towards the fair. Aside from the busi-

ber of citizens to call on the committee
and subscribe small amounts.

no more than they will clean up. An
other very important matter is to pro-
