the crop is hardly an average but the
yield is far in excess of the local de-
mand and our two rice hullers, one
owned by Rast & Bro, and one by
Paul E Hutto, will do lively husi
ness for shipping and for home con-
sumption.

be did so, he said, "well your Lord
ship, I have two razsins why I talk
80 much to myself. In the first plsc !,

FOR SALE BY j. E. KAUFMANN,

the lamented Samuel MCGOWAN, the
man of large brain, large heart and
large enthusiasm-the man who
could, in half hours speech, gene
rate enough faith and enthusiasm in
the brigade to do them all summer.
At one Of these serenades in 1864,
on the line of the Rapidan, but a
few days before the campaign open
ed, he made US another enthusiastic
speech; he enumerated all the West
Pointers who had gone down in de
feat and lost their official heads be-
fore our army. And as a se7erer
resort they have imported from the
West one, Lieut.. Gen. Grant, to whip
US out, and now, men, when the cam
paign opens I want you to whip
them and drive them from Dan to
Btersheba. We knew very well
where the Dan was, for we we're en-
camped along its heights and had
bathed and sported in its limpid
waters, but where Bsersheba was
was somewhat indefinite, but we soon
found out it was Richmond ard
Petersburg.
Again in 1865 we serenaded G n.
MEG Gowan and got enthused again,
and in conclusion he said: "Now,
men, last spring I told you I wanted
you to drive the enemy from Dan to
Beersheba; that you have ga'lantly
and nobly done, and now, when the
campaign opens, I want you to drive
them back to the DAN" This, CON-
radee, we did do until we got to Ap-
pomattox, and there they refused TO
be driven any further, and when Gen
MCGOWAN led his division (he COM
manded a division thep) back to
biyouac and came ri ling around our
brigade the great tears were running
down his cheeks because they had
refused to be driven any more.
