offices, with % years service, recently
took leave and overstayed his leave by
nine days. He was called on for an ex-

There were present 80 Southern girls and
45 Union soldiers. Next, at Paint Rock, a
refugee house between the opposing lines
where rebels and Union men all danced
together. He carried it with him at the
battles OF Resaca and Allatoona. The

present, with his staff, from the fort, and
told the boys to sleep on their arms Al
o'clock the battle opened, and he carried
it with him into the fort, when the neck
was shot off. Then an ammunition wagon
ran over it. While lying in the hospital at
Nashville he hired a negro to get him a
piece of white thorn, from which he made
a new neck. On reaching home, Just before
Christmas, 1864, he put the pieces together
and played at his wedding-day.
