The President bade them look, and, blowing

SYNOPSIS

SYNOPSIS
The author of this narrative was young
man living in the southwestern corner OF
Virginia at the breaking out of the war
and was conscripted into the 5Sth n. {. lie
deserted. was captured, and returned TO his
regiment after few days in Jail. He de
serted a second time, and after perilous
journey reaches his home. Learning that
the Home Guards had received orders not
to return him TO his regiment but to shoot
him on sight. he went into Tennessee. where
he joined other Union men IN hiding IN
the mountains. He soon tires of this life,
and decides TO join rebel artillery com
pany. He makes an appointment with an
officer of the company, both TO come un-
armed, and the opening of this install
ment finds the author at the meeting place.
We arrived almost at the same time.
He greeted me cordially and expressed
himself as pleased to meet me. He was a
young man of fine address, about four or
five years my senior. He wore an artillery
uniform with the rank of Captain. We
sat down on log and began to talk of
the war and the condition OF the country.
Said his battery was doing garrison duty,
and was not at the front; that he had eight
or ten recruits, and in day or two would
start to his command. and, by the way, "
said he, Il understand you are deserter;
have deserted twice, and the authorities
over in your State have offered reward
for your capture; and, further that if they
get you, they will not send you back to
your regiment, but will make an example
of you, as warning TO others"
Captain" said |, your information is
correct. l have deserted twice from
the 5Sth n. c.. and | have under
stood the local authorities over in my
State intend TO kill me if they can get
sight of me. Do You know whether or
not this is actually their intention?
Yes" said he, Il know OF my own know,l-
edge that it is a fact, and there is but one
way of safety for You, and tn I is to
get out of this country. Your r. simept
does not want You, and will never loo;s
for you, and l viii make this suggestion:
that you enlist and 50 with me. | VIII
accept you as a ccnScript, muster You
into the service again, and | will guar
Rntee that you will never be disturbed.
Captain" said /, that is just what | am
thinking of doing, provided that you will
guarantee to protect ME from punishment for
anything that has happened in the past"
Clasping my hand he said: q pledge
you my honor that ] viii use every means
In my power to protect you, and / assure
you you shall never be disturbed
while in my company; and, further, there is
a vacancy IN my company, and | will
appoint YOU Second Sergeant, and put YOU
in line for promotion. The reason | do
this is that a man who has suffered for
his own errors, as You have, 1 believe will
yet make a good soldier"

MORE ABOUT WOLFORD'S MEN.
Col. Allen Tells How They and the 7th Ohio
Cav. Did Some Fighting Together.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have
read with increasing interest each line in
the article contributed by Comrade j. p
Logan descriptive Of the 1st Ky. Cav, as
published in your issue of Nov. 16.
Comrade Logan has slipped cog in
attributing to me any unfriendly criticism
of Col. Wolford and his famous regiment
What | have said regarding Col. Wolford
was with the highest regard for his ca
pacity, but none the less with due regard
for his numerous eccentricities. 1t is true
quite true-that / omitted to state in my
contribution that Col. Wolford was capable
of licking the end of his nose; this, how
ever, was entirely an oversight on my
part, and am inclined to believe Comrade
Logan when he says Col. Wolford was
capable OF performing this extraordinary
act; as the ends of his chin and nose were
not far apart, am prepared to believe that
he could lick them both with one lick.
l desire to confirm from my personal
observation all that Comrade Logan has
said regarding the valuable services of
Wolford's 1st KY. Cav. They were a gal.

Remarkable Sale.

The best price real estate in this coun-
ty has brought for years was secured
last Tuesday, January 10th, 1889, when
seventy seven acres Of unimproved land
belonging to the estate of G. w. Haigh,
deceased, and lying near Belfast, eas
sold for $3.50 In 1893 this same tract
was set off to Mr.. Hsigh at value OF
$1,000. and for this sale was appraised at
$l4OO. It shows an increase of nearly
800 per cent in value in six years and
q sale price more than double its ap-
praised value. For the last few years il
has been the exception and not the rule
for real estate to bring more than its
appraised value in this county, and this
is taken by many as one indication oi
