After 43 Years

Mr. and Mrs. E St. John, O
Saginaw, Mich, were guests a
the Magnolia House a couple O
days this week. Through tn,
kindness of Mr.. j. r. Blanchet, i
was our pleasure to make the ac
quaintance of Mr.. st. John at OuI

John was Sergeant Major with

takapas country. 1t was his fate
to be taken sick with a fever
while on the march some few
miles below this city. After re-
naming under an oak over night
he was transferred to a hospital
at Franklin, where he renamed
till restored to health. Since his
confinement IN that hospital he
has ever remembered the angel of
mercy, then "Mlss Matte Bid
dell," of Franklin, who, by her
constant sOlicitude and careful
nursing, was largely instrumental
in mlnistering to his needs and
comfort, and to his speedy re
covery. He has for years looked
forward to the time when he
could again grasp his "rebel'
friend by the hand and again ex
press to her his never waning
gratitude for all she did for him
IN the long ago. Franklin was
on his itinerary.
In this city he remembered es-
pecially the Alma House and it's
spreading oaks. The home of the
Weeks, ''ShadOws on the Teche,"
and the home of Mr.. Max Mates
we're also remembered buildings
All others, of course, were strang-
ers to him. While here he had
