We take pleasure in transferring to
our space the following from the April
number Of the Confederate Veteran:
"MIssIssIPPIANs AT THE WILDERNESS
Capt. Il. c. Holiday, Of Aberdeen,
Miss, a staff officer to Gen. Joseph R.
Davis, was killed while bearing mes
sage across tho battlefield during the
desperate engagement in the Wilder
ness, May 8, 1864. Capt, Holiday was
conspicuous for gallantry during the
entire engagement, and his fall was
deeply regretted by all who knew him,
az he was general favorite. Inspired
by his sublime courage, those brave
soldiers again rushed into battle, re-
inforcing the right and driving the
enemy before them as they shouted
Tom Hollidayr Gen. Davis being alb
sent at Richmond, Col. John NJ, Stone
commanded the brigade, and re-took,
on the second day of the battle, posi-
tion from which he had been driven the
day before. The Second Mississippi
regiment, commanded by Capt. Thomas
j. Crawford, of Pontotoc, lost over
half its number, and Col. Stone him
self, although severely wounded, re-
fused to leave the field, and it is said
he burst into tears as he looked over
the field on the bodies Of his fallen COM
rades. After the battle Gen. Hill rode
up and saluted Col Stone, saying; Col.
Stone, you have won laurels today. I
hope soon to see you a major-general.
To which the modest Stone replied:
Gen Hill, have only done my duty,
and if you have any compliments to be-
stow, give them to those men standing
here and their comrades left on the
field; they did the fighting, and they
deserve the laurels.'"

She has $40, ,O0J0O now. Six thousand

reason for the intense local pride that

every evidence of her growth.

The topophone is not exactly new
invention. but this one presents a new
application of the idea. II is we'll
known that sounds AT sea are very err
ratic in foggy weather. and a sound
that may be heard in one direction Is
sometimes inaudible in another. This
invention, however. locates the sound
with exactncss. IL consists of two
acoustic receivers mounted on ver-
tical shaft and two rubber tubes con.
nected with earpieces. An earpiece is
placed in each ear and the shaft is held
vertically. If the observer hears a
sound louder in one ear. than in the
