Nev.snaper readers I'm this section have
lost sight Of General J. II. Wilson during
the last thirty years or more, but there
was a time when his name was on the TIPS
of thousands Of people in Georgia and
Alabama. to say moth ng OF several other
southern states.
The general was born in Illinois in 1888.
He is West Pointer and entered the
uniou army early in the He was in
the Povt ROYAL expedition, and was made
a ma ior in April lSG2, for his services in
tho raptrire Of Fort Pulaski Then he
served on McClellan's staff at South noun
tain and Antietam. In the Nicksburg cam
paign he was Inspector general OF the
army Of Tennessee. After the battle or
Chattanooga he WAS made lieutenant COLO
mel and from May. 1864. until August he
commanded the Third cavalry division of
the army of the Potomac. lie was made
colonel after the battle OF the Wilderness
and commanded the cavalry division of
the Missouri from October. 1864. to July,
1864 The battle of Nashville caused him
to be made a brovet brsad;cr general.
In the latter part of the war he was
very active in command of the federal
cavalry in Alabama and Georgia. on his
side he was regarded very much as Wheel
or was by the confedcrates. Like his
foeman in gray. he was noted for the ra-
njaitv and boIdness of his movements, and
as a raider he had few equals.
Wilson was captured near Macon in the
snring of 1863, hut was speedily exchanged,
and took possession of that city on the
Goth of April in that year. President DAVIS
was overtaken and captured by him a few
days later.
Ar the conclusion of the war he was
made a major general of volunteers, and
WAS then appointed lieutenant colonel Of
the Thirty-tifth infantry in the regular
army He retired in 1870. and for some
wears has been quite prominent a rail
wav manager in this country and in China.
Major General Wilson Will be expected
to make a fine record during our present
war. and the fact that his old adversary,
Wheeler now holds the same rank will
cause him to strain every nerve to win an
euual share of the hOnors of the campaign.
The two great raiders are hard to beat In
their fields of action, and their movements
Will be watched with intense interest.

1874 Mr.. Thomas opened drug store
in Montfort which he conducted for
many years. He was appointed post
master during Grants second term in

A military company is being enlisted
IN Lancaster, with the object in view
OF becoming part of the Wisconsin
National Guard.
The movement, understand, has
received the unqualified endorsement
of Grand Army men and all of our
most influential citizens That the
young men take a genuine interest in
the matter is shown by the fact that
twenty-seven have already signed the
agreement to apply to the state
authorities for admission to member
ship in the state militia.
At the squad drills, already held,
they show they are in earnest, by
their rapid progress in learning the
foot movements.
Since the subject OF forming COM
pany has been agitated, several of our
young men have been discovered
who are more or less proficient in
present day infantry tactics, and it is
thought that the company. when
thoroughly organized, will not lack
for ability in its higher officers.
The advantage that such an organi-
cation will be to Lancaster and Grant
county are not few or hard to see.
We have not heretofore been repre-
sented IN the National Guard of the
state and it is high time that we show
our patriotism in some such way as
this; and especially at this crisis
should we show the Boys of GU
that the same spirit animates our
young men today which enthused
them in the perilous times of the
rebellion.
But aside from any possible need
there might be for them Eat the front"
and aside from the good to our COM
munity of such an organization, there
is no doubt that the members them
selves will receive more than ample
recompense for any labor they may
find necessary to become proficient in
the drill, in the incalculable value
that drill and discipline will be to
them personally.
Wisconsin provides literally for her
National Guards and in return exacts
but a reasonable amount Of attention
and proficiency from the guardsnlen.
Let the good move 60 on and let US
have a company that will be a credit
to our city and t. our state

A little over a year ago she accidently
ran against sewing machine with
sufficient force to produce quite
painful bruise, which few weeks
later developed into a cancer. Every

furnish was given her but all could
not stay the ravages of the fatal mall
ady that had fastened itself upon her.
