Governor Smith. in opening his speech.
said that he had had hardly time enough

he was the fake. He had graduated from
the farm at least 30 years ago. and the
methods then in vogue-and he had for
gotten even them. were now back num-

A Regiment That Went to Battle
TarYnad

While they were in camp, before the
battle of Turfeesboro, the Forty-fourth
Missfssipps Regiment, more familiary
known among the men as Blythe's bri-
gade, was separated from the camp on
account of the measles. In order to
equip recuits, that were contantly COM
ing in with the sorely needed guns, the
Forty-fourth was practically disarmod,
the intention being to arm them later
with guns expected from the rear.
About this time the Federals began
the movement from Nashville which
brought on the celebrated battle at
Murfreesboro, and when the bregade
was ordered ito it position al effort ef6Ett Tfaass T"faass
made to arm the Forty-fourth, who
had now recovered their health, reco-
vsred their health, with the old smooth
bore m1skets. These the regiment
fatty declined to have. and were told
that they wonld have to 60 into fight
with out arms. This they did, and
when the order to charge was given
went yelling and bare-handed across
the field, but as soon fallen foe = or
friend either - was spied he was
promptly relived of his gun and accoun-
terments. So that by the time the
battle wasover the men were nearley all
