I returned in time for the Atlanta cam
paign. On the march to the sea, what
remained of the 37th were divided into
squads and went to Quartermaster's head
quarters. The duty of my squad was to
pick up mules. We were out on the
flanks of the army for mics, and hardly
day passed without a brush with the
rebs. l was on the first skirmish line
that entered Fayetteville. l remember dis
tinctly that Levi Cochran and I took u?
q plank out of the sidewalk and used it
as door key to get into big storeroom.
When we reached Goldsbcro the different
squads Were called in and our company
was attached to the 22d Ind. We took
part in the Grand Review, and were in
the service few days lacking four years.

the one 1 remember best-because, per-
haps, it was pro.onged-occurred at Peach
Tree Creek. Wher my company, acting
as skirmishers, drove in the rebel sk.r-
mishers, Corp'l Mutt and on the extreme
right, in the woods, did not hear the order
to halt, but kept on right UP to the rebel
breastwcrks. When the rebs opened fire
with everything that would throw lead or
iron, and our main line, which had come
up. replied, Corp Mutt and 1 found our
selves between fires. We had to hug old
mother earth mighty close, and we had to
keep on hugging til dark. And when we

A Good Suggestion.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In prov.
ing up a soldiers widows pension claim,
the evidence which is most difficult to
get is that establishing the legality of
her widowhOod. She must prove not only
that size was married to the soldier, but
that there was no legal barrier to the mar
riage.
The evidence required is the testimony
of two credible persons who were
acquainted with both that they had
not married before their marriage to each
other; if the soldier had been married, the
death or divorce of former wife or wives
must be proved; if the widow had been
married, the death of or her divorce from
former husband must be proved. Wit
nesses must show their means of knowl-
edge of facts testified to; they must state
that their acquaintance with both soldier
and claimant was such that they would
have known if the marriage relation had
been entered into by them.
Most of the civil war veterans were
married 40 years nago, more or less,
and the most of those who possessed the
sight and acquaintance. Every veteran
who is interested in. the matter of his
wife's getting a pension, should she sur
vive him, ought to get this evidence now,
and save her from tiie effort and anxiety
and expense of getting it when it will
be very much mote1 difficult to do So.
Have this testimony carefully prepared by
n magistrate who is familiar with the
rules and practice OF the Pension Bureau,
and either fi.e in the Pension Office or
lay it away with your pension certificate.

Cavalry; was in Sherman's great march
from Atlanta to Savannah, baing actively
engaged in all the battles and skirmishes
of my command, which were almost Of
daily occurrence.
1 want to say here that whoever wrote
up the experience of ST and Shorty's squad
in the Carolinas was certainly present and
saw the whole racket. In our continued
march through the Carolinas we were in
many skirmishes. and the battles of
Averysboro and Bentonvilie, and fought

many claims" for big prizes during the
two weeks, all of which were false or mis-
taken, except one for $50 prize, which
was a true claim and allowed.
A "fake" claim is generally weak some
place or other. For instance, take this
one: James w. Barrett, of Grey Eagle,
Minn., by his attorney, r. H. Sitter, of
that place, Gains that on the 10th day
of January, 1903, he remitted to The Ma

ope in the presence of his wife, inclosed
guess on the receipts of the United States
Treasury for May IS, 1908, this guess be-
ing S2,319, ,5S3-within So of the bulrs-eye.
A guess within 50 of the buE's-eye would
win the ten-thousand-dolla prize. Mr..
Sitter wrote that the Assistant Postmast.,
also would attest to the fact, and that
they had other testimony if needed.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: have
been a reader of The National Tribune for
long time and my heart has been with

Georgia and the Carolinas, in the battle at
BentOnville, and wounded In the hospital,
when Sis dear mother came down to take
care of him.
Turn down the light little. can feel
mothers hand on my brow. 1t was the
home influence that kept US up to the
work.
1 was with 81 and Shorty at Stone
River, Chickamauga. and went up Mis-
sien Ridge with them in Sheridan's Divi-
sion, left in front, 26th Ohio.
When the boys get home in Posey Coun-
ty, Ind. get 81 Klegg nominated on the
Republican ticket for Sheriff of Posey
County, and we will elect him by the big
gest vote ever cast in the County. Then
81 can put Shorty in for his Deputy, and
when they get hold of a man he won't
get away, and no mob will be able to take
4 man out of Jail.
Mr.. Editor, this advice doesn't cost you
anything, and you can use it if you wish.
But think the boys ought to have some
civil honor bestowed on them after they
get home.-JoHN L. RICHARDSON, Wyome

with the Standard Oil Company? Well. 1t

in the grounds Of the Soldiers Home at

up-to-date in the entire OIL region" said
8. G. Hopkins Of the hoosier state to a
Star man at the Shoreham. 1.-The entire
plant Is Enclosed by high board fence,
and everything inside, like all parts Of the

thirty feet away would not know that the
pump was in operation II 1t were not for
seeing the beam work up and down. The
derrick Of this well Is forty-eight feet
high. and stands permanently over 1t for
the purpose Of drawing the pipes and outer
casing when 1t is necessary to clean them.
The pipes frequently become clogged- The
inmates Of the home get both oil and gas
