all tired, WORKOUT and dispirted, struggled

Confederate cavalry was covering the pike
leading by Columbia and Pulaski. Some
times it was necessary TO leave only a
company until the brigade had gone some
distance In tho rear TO take up good po-
sition where they could check the enemy s
advance until they we're fianked out OF po-
sition. This procedure usually delayed
the Yankees several hours.
On one OF these occasions. company II.
Twenty eighth Mississippi cavalry, was
formed across the pike. They did not have
long to wait for soon regiment OF Fed
erai cavalry appeared and seeing the small
number OF their opponents the Yankees
raised yell and charged in column down
ON the company Of Confederate, who
poured in a volley and wheeling into col

Confederate company was commanded by

that he did not decide the city's lien

the city against County Auditor Browne
to prevent the forfeited land sale next
month. Judge Williston says that that
question did not enter the case The
city council is anxious to ascertain just
where the city stands in this matter,
there being large number of unpaid as
sessments standing against some of the
property to be sold, and If absolute title
to the lands is given by the May sale the
council fears that the city will lose a
form no part of the taxes for which the
lands are to be sold, and it is more than
likely that the question VIII have to be
