A XETEKAN, INDEED.

few years ago the Dispatch made an
industrious, but fruitless, effort to ind
out who was the youngest person to en-
list as a soldier in the Confederate army.
For weeks our columns were filled with
letters upon the subject. and the discus
sion ended about where it began.
Now. the question has been raised by
some Of our contemporaries, Who is the
Oldest living Confederate veteran? That
distinction is claimed by some for Sey-
mour Garner, Of Wilcox county, Ala,
who is SAID to be Jos years Of age, and
still is alert and remarkably well pre-
served"
If Mr.. Garner be verify los years Of age,
he should be advertised as one of the
wonders of the world. He must have
been 20 years of age when the war broke
out and a when it ended.
AIR. Garner must have been volunteer
in the truest sense He was not liable
to duty for service al the front, which
called for men between the ages Of Is
and As. Nor was he subject 20 duty in
the reserves. the members of which We're
between the ages of 10 ana IS and %
and So.
BY the way. in this part of The country
at least. when people speak Of "the war;
they mean the civil war" That was
"the war; of modern times. In expendi-
ture of life and money. in losses inflicted
upon the defeated party. and in far
reaching results. none other recently
fought is TO be compared to 1t. Hence,
when our people refer TO "the war
everybody hereabout knows what they
mean.
And speaking OF the reserves" or
"second-class militia as they were Of
toner called. II may be said that in some
localities they were seldom ordered into
service but not so here in Richmond
and in most parts of Virginia. During
the latter part of the war the demands
u,on the time Of the reserves was in
cessant and at last they we're kept in
tho field continually, and with them
Soma NJ the battalions formed of clerks
IN the departments OF the Confederate
Government. And so we had many young
soldiers In the trenches before Richmond
and Petersburg. and many old ones, too.
Rut we recall none so old as Seymour
Garner is reported 10 have been when
he took Mp arms In the Intellectual strug-
Gle for southern Independence.

MONTEREY. VA, September S.-tSpe-
cial.)-In response to the advertisements
OF bridge letting" nine companies met
the Highland County Supervisors at the
proposed location. some miles north OF
Monterey. The span Is across the south
branch Of the Potomac. and will be %
feet long. The bids were all in excess
Of what had been contemplated by the
board, and, as yet. none of the conf
panies represented has been awarded the
contract.
A runaway horse. attached TO an empty
lumber wagon by means of one trace
and a 10-year-old boy hanging IN the
harness by one foot, was a scene on Main
street which thrilled eye-witnesses with
horror until lucky elimination ended
the strain. The horse belonged to Mr.
William Hiner, of the county, who had
brought lumber TO town, and the boy
was Master Bruce Slaven, who had got
ten permission to ride the horse TO stable
Finding himself fast by the one trace,
the horse began plunging and runnihg'
throwing the young rider in such a POSI-
ton as that he hung by one foot, as
stated. The boys peril created great
excitement. and the dozen or more citi-
gems who rushed to the street succeeded
in checking the runaway in time TO save
the boy from an awful death, his head
swinging in close proximity TO both the
macadamized street and the flying hoofs
of the horse.
