Colonel +. II. Ripple and Warden w.
G. Simpson returned last night from a
southern trip, which was chiefly visit
to the old backgrounds where both
had fought in the Civil war. 1t will
be remembered that Colonel Ripple,
then but Il youth, spent eight months
in southern prisons. Florence. Ander-
sonville and Charleston, where he suf-
fered almost incredible hardshiDs.
This week he went over the ground
again where some of these awful
months We're passed. In Florence, now
Il thriving town, he located the bur-
row which he had followed out during
his incarceration in that most terrible
prison. 1t was from it that he made
the escape among the dramatic scenes
Of which was his pursuit by blood
hounds the marks of whose teeth he
will always carry. He visited the ceme-
terry the other day where are buried
5000 Union soldiers, most of whom died
in Florence prison.
Colonel Ripple feels we'll pleased
with his trip over the historic places
which he last saw thirty-five years
ago.

on the native names OF streams and
sections. and In some instances they
we're not happy in their originality.
