there was never real enmity between
them. A certain Virginian lived near

in the summer of 1862. This man went
out to the field. after the northern
troops had retired from it, and noticed
little fellow lying. wounded. in the
hot sun. AS he looked pityingly at
the boy, the young fellow gained cour-
age To make request: "Neighbor,
won't you get ME drink of water?
I'm very thirsty" "Of course, I WILL"
said the man, and he brought tho
water. The little fellow was encour-
aged by this, and he asked again:
Won't you get me taken to the hos
pital? I'm badly wounded" well,
now, my boy" said the man, III ! get
YOU taken care of, and you are we'll
enough TO go home again. are you COM

hard test for a wounded prisoner, but
the boy stood 1t. He looked his captor
firmly In the eye, and said: THAT I

the Virginian afterward, II liked his

county was the recipient Of two beau
tiful bouquets from the employees of

membered Mr.. Beverly. Burns of

moved that all bouquets be placed on
the speakers desk, but Mr.. Beverly
put in an appearance soon enough to
rescue his flowers.

His Life Away.
William Bootland, n man who has
been familiar figure in Ashland for
nearly a quarter of a century, died re-
Gently under painful circumstances.
In early life he had been an actor and
travelling Snowman but drifted TO this
place many years ago and remained.
He followed shoe making, but for years
his old life and habits would manifest
themselves in performances of various
kinds. Every one knew him as hard
drinker and dissipatcd man. About
ten years ago he took the cure. lie
reformed entirely and became another
man. His quiet, genial ways won him
new friends and he has been constant
ly seen at church and at social gather
ings of all kinds. Every one was gil nd
to help him in the fight he was so sue
cessfully making. A month or more
ago some scoundrel came to him pre-
tending to be prosperous farmer up
in the county and proposed to set him
up in the boot and shoe business. He
deceived the old man and got him ex-
cited. Then he got him to drinking
and robbed him of every dollar Of his
hard.saved earnings and fed. When
the old man found that he was deceived
and robbed and disgraced it was all
over with him. He gave himself up to
the old passion again and died of
tremens, n delerium he has had for
many years. IL is not known that he
has relative on earth or a friend TO
mourn his death, but there is genera |
sorrow and pity for the kindly old
man for the sad ending of his gallant
fight and universal horror of the wretch
who caused his failure and death.
