REPLY TO INQUIRY
OF HEZEKIAH THOMPSON

I know Hezekiah Thompson. and know
him to have belonged to Co. E., Seventh
Georgia cavalry, first under Captain
Banks as an independent company, then
under Captain II. K. Harrison, near Sa-
vannah. Up to few years ago 1 could
call the roll alphabetically, beginning
with Altman, Atwood, Brannon, Crimson,
Calhoun, Cavano, Cunningham, Joe Ex-
ley, Bat Exley, Frank Exley, and so on to
the end. know all the boys whom
Thompson mentioned. 1 thought when he
spoke Of Henry Taylor l would learn
what became Of Taylor. He was captured
at or about the same time Thompson was
and we never learned what became Of
him. Wonder II Thompson knows? Taylor
was a cousin of mine, and suffered pretty
bad Levi Sapp is an uncle of mine, and
now lives near Abel, Ga. Troy Thompson
and 1 were in the smallpox hospital to-
gether. We nursed Henry Crosby, and af-
ter he died Troy and 1 were both taken
down with the disease.

ECHOES OF RAILROAD RULES
OF HALF A CENTURY AGO
numerous other minor duties.

and numerous other minor duties.
One of the rules for conductors IS:
GAS a general rule when trains meet be-
tween stations the train nearest the turn
out will run back. Any dispute as to
which train is to retire is to be deter
mined at once by the conductors, without
any interference on the part of the en-
ginemen. This rule is required to be va
ried in favor of the heaviest loaded engine
or worst grades, If they meet near the
center. In case of backing a man must
be placed on the lookout, so that any dan
ger to the rearmost part of the train may
Oe seen and the engineman at once receive
notice. The backing must also be done
very cautiously"
Where there is an accident and train
is stopped fires are required to be built at
night at either end of the train. When
trains get behind time they stop and wait
an hour and then proceed, so that If a
train is fifteen minutes late you will know
it is to be an hour and fifteen minutes
late.
In no line. perhaps. has there been more
advancement in the last so years than the
railroad and some of these old orders
bring clearly to mind the great progress
that has been made.

GET MAD
When Friends Tell the Truth.

Many people become. coffee topers be-
fore they realize it, and would be angry
If thus described even by close friend.
1t will pay anyone to examine carefully
into whether or not coffee has gained the
mastery over them. A coffee topper may
suspect that his or her ails come from
coffee linking, but they will invariably
charge the disease to some other cause.
for right down in the heart they realize
that II would be practically impossible to
give up coffee, so they hope against hope
that IT does not hurt them, but 1T goes on
with its work just the same and the re-
suit is complete collapse and nervous
prostration, lasting sometimes for years,
unless the poison that causes the disease
is discontinued.
There are hundreds Of thousands OF IL
Illustrations of the truth of this statement.
Any person addicted to coffee can make
the change from common coffee to Pos
tum, Food Coffee without trouble pro-
vided the Postum is properly prepared so
as to bring out the color, flavor and food
value. 1t has a rich black-brown color
and changes to the golden brown when
good cream is added.
The change will work wonders In any
one whose nervous system or stomach
has been unbalanced or disturbed by
coffee.

Did you ever read Peters first epistle
with the view of knowing Peter in his
old age? Study it in that way. How there
his noble personality looms up a tower of
strength, a rock OF refuge, a fortress.
Your heart will be touched as you discov-
err how Peters advises his brethren against
those faults he exhibited after CONVEX
sion Really the letter Is both confess
sion on the one hand and an exhortation
and warning on the other. Peter the
aged, recalling the errors of Peter the
young and the middle-aged, tenderly and
affectionately dissuades the disciples from
like foIlies. Bengel called Peter the 'apos-
tie of growth" Peter was not sanctified
IN a spasm of religious emotion but grew
in grace to the last. Patience he had very
little of in early life, but the epistle
breathes the spirit Of patience, patience
in suffering. Humility was not apparent
in Peter at first and, yet, becoming hum

der the mighty hand of God that he may
exalt you in due time Consistency did
not, at first. shine in Peter and so he ex-
horts: BE steadfast in the faith; stand
fast" Watchfulness was not natural to
Peter so now he says: Watch and be
SOBER ''be We therefore sober and watch
unto prayer" Compare Paurs letters
with Peters and you VIII observe one
great difference. Paul seldom quotes
Christ but puts Christ's thoughts into his
own words! Peters letters. on the other
hand, abound in quotations from our
Lords own words. Christ's had burned
deep in Peters soul and Peter, the aged.

resurrection morning. 1t was Peter Whom
Christ restored and reinstated after the
resurrection. 1t was Peter who preached
on the day of Pentecost opening the doors
of the kingdom to the Jews. 1t was Peter
who preached to Cornelius and opened
the doors of the kingdom to the Gentlles
in Caesarea. 1t was Peter, in company
with John. who stood the threats and per-
secution of the government, and. Fearless
of all consequences, firmly established the
first church at Jerusalem.
Let us not forget that Christ does not,
by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit
change a mans personality in all re-
spects, but rather the intent or purpose
of his life. The old Simon, as matter
of fact, persisted in the being Of the
new Cephas. 1t is interesting to note that
when the apostle was in a bad mood or
backslidden condition, our Lord always
called him Simon. Whenever the son of
Jonah was in spiritual mood and hV-
ing right. the Master called him Peter.
Peter was a new man in an old nature,
but the old nature was always strug-
Cling with the new man. Let us not de-
ny that new men in Christ Jesus may
fall into sin for a time, and yet rise
up to duty. How weak poor human nature
is, even after conversion! How much
evil is mixed with the good! How near
to the finest fibre is often the fiawl Alas.

Gen. Mahone's Cow.

A story was told during the war of a
COW that General Malone, of Virginia In
sisted on taking with him, because he was
a confirmed dyspeptic and thought he was
obliged to have a milk diet or maybe die,
for the lack of IL.
General Lee was often bothered with
the COW. One day he said: General Ma
hone. we viii be obliged to leave that COW
behind"
cant do it, sir. If the COW stays be-
hind, must resign"
So the cow was actually along on the
day General Grant received the surrender
at Appomattox, and the cow went along
home with General Malone to Peters
burg.
The little general carried cooking uten-
sils and bedding with him and was noted
for his comfortable way of eating and
sleeping in the army
He said very often that If he had to go
through another war he would go the
same way. according to Chicago Times
Herald.

Species Of Watercress Turns somer

London Times.
One species Of watercress possesses the power
of locomotion, changing its place on a river
bank by leaps and bounds says the Golden
Penny: From the stems OF the cress grow root
ike hbres which, when Of a sufficient length,
drop 70 the bottom OF the water and there take
root. The plant gradually settles upon its new
footing and the strength. Of the new hbres is
such that the old ones lose their hold and the
tuft of creSs performs a somersault. In time
the old roots die away, fresh ones are devel-
oped and the cress dances merrily on its way.
There is a species of bearded cat which viii

tihe exploration In Dalecarlia, province Of his
native country, records the interesting fact that
he found the Dalecarlians taking full advan-
tage Of this valuable quality IN their oats. AZ
ter being duly reaped the crop was left 70 its
own devices in the barns until such times as
the husks emptied themselves. The spiral beard
is contracted or extended according to the
amount Of moisture In. the atmosphere, and
when the beard contracts II drags the cat along
with It; when II expands the cat does not go
back to its original position, the roughness OF
the beard the contrary way preventing It,
Another species OF bearded cat, the Avena
Sterilis. has earned for itself the name Of
Animal Oat," from. the eccentric fashion in
which II crawls backward and forward when
ripe and when falling from the husk pro-
of the beard. A seed of this oat is sometimes
used instead Of an artificial fly for trout fishing.
A still more startling effect is produced by
the, stiff black down on the seed OF the Cen
taurea Crupina, plant OF the eorn-fower
Species found wild in Italy. II one OF these
seeds be placed between the foot and the
stocking it will in a short time travel over the

The name Cupina is derived from Dutch word
signifying to creep.

MORTGAGE 100 YEARS OLD.
A Philadelphia Incum5rance That No
One Has Ever Sought to
Satisfy.

A sale of property at 213 Fitzwater
street was recently made, and in go
ing back over the old records il was
discovered that a mortgage which
antedated the administrati tion of
President Washington was still an in
cumbrance on the property, says a
Philadelphia report. The paper was
executed by James Glow and wife n
favor of Archibald Mccall. The con-
sideratiOn named was 333 1-3 Spanish
milled dollars, a coin which was the
standard of value during the reVolu-
tionary period. The value of the
milled dollar exceeded by a few cents
the value of the silver dollar now in
use
Mccall transferred the mortgage in
the year 1894 to John Houck, and 1t
does not appear on the records again.
The attorney for the petitioner has
served notice by advertisement on
Houck OF his heirs to appear in the
court of common pleas No. l on De-
cember l, and show cause, if any ex-
list. why the mortgage should not be
satisfied by an order of the court. 1t
is not anticipated that any defendants
will appear, but the legal formula
must be gone through with before
the title may be perfected.
Even if any of Mr.. Houck's heirs
should appear in court it would be
necessary, if they designed making a
valid claim for money due, to show
that the debt had been recognized
ISe mo the m - % -aorc naxmauf
of interest or part of the principal is
the b@st evidence of such acknOwl-
edgment. and there is no record of any
payment having been made for more
than 100 years.
