The Old Co. ssE.V

lnauspiciOus as was Saturday the
Northern blizzard did not affect the
ardor OF the "Briars," old Co. G.. of the
3rd South Carolina Regiment. They
met in their 18th consecutive re-un-
ION, n 4Otb anniversary Of their leav-
ing their home for the defence of their
State. Their meeting was at GRAY
Court this year where most hospitable
preparations had been made for their
reception. In the circumstances of such
a rude day u goodly number of the old
survivors faced the blizzard with a
number of the fair daughters and sons
OF the old grizz,ed braves Judge Allen
Barksdale, Orderly OF the Company
n q gallant MANNED survivor had
como all the way from his Southern
nome In Louisiana to once more touch
elbows with his comrades. The old
boys listened with moistened ewes to
his pathetic story Of incidents by flood
and field from Bull Run to Chicka-
manga, where he left his right arm.
Judge B~arksda!e's story full of the pa
thetic was told with moistened eyes,
but with all his %elOquence he could not
refrain from the humorous side, and a
fair picture OF the indomitable spirit of
the Confederate soldier and the frolic,
fun and CAVITY which illustrated his
camp lfe. Judge Barksdale holds a
distinguished position on the staff OF
General Gordon as commander of
the L. G v. That noble survivor, Rev.
j: *. Mccain, and also Col. j. r., Har-
rison. another grizzled vet, made ap-
propriate talks and told how fields
were won. Letters were read from
Coils. j. N. Brown and Richard Simp-
son, of Anderson. Private o G..
Thompson who was four years with
the boys and is well marked up, pre-
sided. Lieut.. b. w. Lauford, the last
Surviving officer, read the Roll of
Honor amid silence and bowed heads.
The ladies and the noble n%eighbors ad-
minlstered Il beautiful hospitality and
the day was greatly enioyed.

The little Kingdom of Japan to all

istence some half a century ago. Only
recently has she made herself known to
Westcrncrs, but then in her might.
Her people ART not SaXons, but a race
OF M~onSolanS or something of the sort
and of no great account among the
masters of mankind. Less than a de-
cade ago she displayed her power in
a tWinklinS, and since all the Powers
are bowling and scraping and paying
Difference TO this l0ng-drawn-out little
Kingdom towards the rising sun. The
miniature nation has recently put up
her briStles and the Russian Bear forth
with puts on pacific manners, and it
would seem now as due to her manly
bearing that, we are almost assured of
peace in the Orient.
