back, until the end came. That march
of one hundred miles was made In one
hundred days, without the loss of lynch
pin. But 1t was one hundred days OF bat
tie.
The other day was attracted by the
sound of a bugle in front of the court
house of Whitfield county. Upon inves-
tigation 1t developed that Fred Crow was
sounding assembly for the Jos. e. john
ston Camp U. c. V.
Mr.. Crow had not forgotten how he
sounded the notes of victory and defeat
advance and retreat. while acting as bu-
gler for the battery of the late Judge
Falligant, of Savannah. 1t is privilege
TO meet with these old veterans and hear
their stories of hard fought battles and
amusing experiences OF their army days.

S. B. Felker. formerly OF "Wheeler's

The S4th Georgia regiment has been re-
cognized as one OF the hardest fighting
regiments in the Confederate army. Its
organization was due to Col. Jesse A.
Glenn. who is now a member Of the Dali
ton bar.
Col. Glenn organized this regiment in
1862 at Dalton, was made colonel and
served as such until 1864. He says that
he went into the battle of Bakers Creek
with seven hundred men and came out
with three hundred and fifty. But that
hts men got the battery they went after.
The Colonel later organized a brigade
of cavalry. and vas an acting brigadier
general until the surrender.
The Daughters Of the Confederacy paid
a tribute to one brave soldier when they
named the local organization the Bryan

was drawn up to witness the execution
of those few who had wearied in the hope

tailed for the execution, fourteen with
loaded guns and fourteen with blank
cartridges. A reserve of fourteen men
was placed behind the firing line. Upon
the first volley all fourteen fell dead

scratch on the hand. One man from the
reserve was called out placed his gun
against the prisoners breast, and fired.
He was his warm personal friend and

A TYPICAL WESTERNER
H. P. Rucker, Who Is an Authority
-~ on the Great West and Its
5- =. Advantages. <allzzz--7*@.- ~. 4

The West and Northwest have produced
great many hustling representatives,
persons whose years of experience in the
tunities, but theresis no one that better
represents the enterprises Of the west
or who is more fully inbued with its re-
suits than H. P. Rueker Of 164 Dearborn
street, Chicago, I'll. Mr. Rucker IS well
known for having the celebrated agricul-
tural exhibit at the World 8 Fair and rep
resented severaI:z northwestern states at
the Pan American exhibit, and was one of
the few. western men that impressed upon
the east that Minnesota and North Dakota
we're the bread baskets of the world. Mr..
Rucker has not only been identified with
these large national institutions, but he.
has in a great many ways been identified
with the prosperity and success of the
west, SO that he is well known, and where
he is known is well esteemed. Having
been SO closely identified with the west
it is natural that Mr.. Fuckers ambition
leads him to a business which is identified
in developing this country. He has, there
fore, become the general agent of the
Burchard- Hulburt Investment company, of
st. Paul, Mimi, representing them in the
state Of Illinois, having charge of their
agents and looking after emigration into
this country. The strength Of this COM
pany and its reputation is such that 1t
affords Mr.. Rucker an opportunity to use
to the best advantage his great ability.
Mr.. Rucker3 IS looking for live agents
who will devote their time to this COM
pany who own their own lands and who
have a million dollars invested in real es-
tate.
It will pay to write or see him, and dur
ing the State Fair he will be found at the
Exhibit Of the Burchard- Hulburt Invest
ment company, glad to meet people and
to tell them of his experience and the pros
poets Of the great west. The Burchard-
EIulburt Investment company is to be con-
graduated on having a man of Mr.. Ruck-
er's standing and ability associated with
them.
