Rev. J.B. Shoup Will Start On His
Trip to ST. Louis Saturday.
Rev. j. B. Shoup, mamber of the
Old Soldiers Colony, located at Fitz-
gerald, Ga, intends to take a long
walking during the summer. At sun
rise on June II he will start opposite
a marker set up to designate the start
ing point of the old National Pike
and walk the entire length of the old
road TO St Louis-some 900 miles.
After spending sometime at the
great show the old minister expects
to attend the national &. 4. R. en-
campment at Boston, August 10;
then take another tramp down
through Maine, across New Hamp-
shire and Vermont to the st. Law
renee, ascend that stream by boat,
cross New York and attend the an
nual reunion of his old regiment, the
Third Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery,
at Gettysburg in October; then, per-
haps, return on foot to his home in
Georgia.
Rev. Mr.. Shoup formerly served
Lutheran churches in Garrett county,
Md, but has lived for some 90 years
in Florida and Georgia. He served
two years during the CIVIL War and
was one of the Davis-Clay prison
guards at Fortress Monroe. Having
suffered sunstroke in '64 he is much
of his time unable to work in the min
istry, but must lead an out door life;
hence, in part, this pedestrian under
taking.

Dead HAN Not Ills Sea-.

Joyous was the meeting which took
place between NJ. G. Presley and his
son, whom the father had supposed to
be dead, several days ago at the fami.
ly home in Anderson county near Pied
mont.
The father had lost track OF the boy
and when the accounts Of an unknown
young man being found dead near the
Southern Railway track ct Central be-.
gan to circulate in the newspapers,
Mr.. Presley grew uneasy. The de-
scriptions cent out all seemed to point
to the body being that of hfs lost son,
and he etraightwsy boarded train
aud went to the grave Of the unknown
man near Central. He visited the
county authorities at Pickens and
told them of his fears, He begged to
have the grave opened in order that
he could be certain whether his son
was lying beneath the sod or not.
When the workmen drew the coffin
mp, the father gazed upon the corpse
and then turned away murmuring,
"My boy, it is my boy!" It was i'm
possible to change les resting place
aud the coffin was lowered again into
the grave. Mr.. Presley returned to
his home sad and broken hearted,
never dreaming that the son for whom
he mourned was alive and we'll and
scarcely 200 miles away.
Tue family OF the young man dis.
oarded colors for somber black gar.
inents,e o token OF sorrow, because Of
che death thse had taken away SON
And brother. -sAst
! Great WAS the surprise Of everyone
when Creighton Presley walked into
the house several days ago. or some
minutes the family was too excited to
toll hin what had happened and ho
was amazed ~ their extraordinary
emotion. Neighbors who bad come to
sympathize wsrs asked to join in cele-
brating the happy return Of cne who
had bean given up for dead but was
alive aud with them.
q GsW hose oody it is that rests in the
unknown grave at Pickens is again
mystery, and there is little or no hopes
OF the occupant Of the coffin ever be-
ing identified. Greenville News.
