| There is out one Grear n. Williams
in this or any anybody else's state.
and he lives, moves and has his being
Just over in the edge of Franklin town
ship. President Lincoln once asked
Grear what command he belonged to,
and he answered, THE long mans
regiment, (which was true for he was
company B man of the gallant old 18th,
commanded by General Sol. Meredith.
Grear, like most ordinary people, has
birthday about every eleven or
twelve months, and he also has wife
and good one, too, and as he crossed
the meridian line on the down grade,
Sunday, Nav 1st, she concluded TO
make the day one he would not forget,
so she passed the word along the line,
and his old comrades and friends, from
far an near, came pouring in by dele
cations till the crowd looked like
camp-meeting. and all hands brought
stacks and loads of good things to eat,
aud there was more than five baskets
full when the feast was over. Long
tables were hastily arranged and nearly
two hundred sat down to dinner.
1t was complete surprise
to the husband. He was not
looking for any one, but he is not the
kind tn 1t becomes ratified at little
thing like two or three hundred people
falling down on him, and was as
happy az clam at nigh tide The
DAY was an IDEAL FIRST or May, whom
nature clothes herself in her gaudiest
attire, and one must be a nisanthrope
indeed who could not enjoy such an
occasion, and it proved a most pleas
ant one indeed. Your scribe was I'M
able to obtain full list of those pres
ent, but will give a partial one, and
