Mex EMILE ITEMS.

The Ladies Aid held it's regular
meeting at the church on Saturday at
which full reports were made for the
proceedings on July 4th. The net re-
suits from refreshments served that
day were about SIS, which will be ap-
piled on the pastors salary.
| Several resolutions of thanks were
offered, including one to the energetic
sister who scrubbed the church, one to
our most efficient president, Mrs. A.
M. Thompson, for her mastery plan
ming and supervision of the work; one
to the gentlemen who so ably assisted
in every way; one to the young ladies
who SO cheerfully served at the tables;
one to our courteous patrons who
showed such genuine appreciation Of
the good things set before them; and
another to the generous donors who
made the feast possible. II;
In short, it was agreed that we
thank everyone concerned except the
hilarious young stranger who repeat
eddy joggled one table to see the cof-
fee spill on the white table cloth. AS
the one discourteous act observed in a
most trying and fatiguing day, this
was especially noticeable. r.
The social part Of the enterprise
was so very enjoyable that believe
the. ladies would have felt amply re-
paid for their efforts had their fin
ancial success been much less.
The next meeting will be on satur-
day, July 10Th with Mr.. and Mrs. John
/ Rodgers.
There was very pleasant gathering
OF friends at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dave Thompson, last Wednesday even,
Ing. 1t is uncertain whether they VII
give up the place to the proprietor at
once and 60 west, or remain till after
! the; season closes, but in any event
have the best wishes of their large
circle Of friends.
The Item club gave one of its enjoy.
joyable receptions on Friday evening
at the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. W. R.
King, Menoken. 1t was a public OBJ
portunity to say farewell to Mr.. and
Mrs. 3. w. Ross and family who ex-
pect to leave for Duluth next week,
Mr.. Ross has been for some years
the, popular and efficient manager OF
Dr.. Adams extensive land and stock
investments near. here and will be
greatly missed both in a personal and
business way.
The family have all been. active in
promoting the success of the. Item
club which feels, that their loss will
be irreparable.

that bloody slope, either killed or
wounded. Father and son both es-
capped the enemy's missiles. May fol-
lowing found father and son along
with the writer in the woods at Chan
cellorsville. While advancing into
the woods to meet Longstreet's veter-
ans young Black was again with the
company and near his father. The de-
voted boy was urged by others and the
writer to retire. Again he said he
would go where father went The
writer stopped long enough to seize the
hoy and throw him to the rear a few
feet, and there we got down to solid
business for about two hours, and
lost sight of him until the end Of that
time. His father, however, received
his Geath wounds that day, and there
after the spirited boy was filled with
sorrow. Later on, near Culpeper Court
House, Black prevented stampede Of
our forces by placing his horse mid
way CT the road and firing shot after
shot into the head of the retreating
column. A shell burst, killing his
horse, wounding the lad in one wrist,
and the horse falling upon him broke
the ether arm. Later on the hero of
our tale could be seen upon the streets
of Washington city with both arms in
sings. Much more could be written
concerning this lad that would interest
the patriotic people of this day, but
time and space forbid.

A BOY HERO.
Young Drummer Of tho Civil War
Who Was Made Of the Right
Kind of Stuff.

A Philadelphia boy, George Black by
name, was less than IL years of age at
date of enlistment and muster into serv-
ice as a musician, in the fall of 1861,
writes William G. Reiff, to the Nation
al Tribune. His father, George w.
Black, was first lieutenant of my COM

Our division CA. A. Humphrey's) Of
the Fifth corps made the final charge
against Marye's Heights, Fredericks-
burg, Va, on Saturday evening, De-
cember 13, 1862.
Young Black insisted upon keeping
in the front line and as near his father
as the conditions allowed. When re-
monstrated with by his company fell
lows to retire, he responded that wher-
ever his father went he would go, too.
This he did, though his tent-mate, Jim
Thompson, took hold of the little fell
low and threw him to the rear of the
line; yet Black still pushed on, and
went as far as the division as body
advanced. Out of less than 800 men
in this command over 100 lay upon

dered the Union.

"Stories of the Squirrel Hunters"
said the sergeant, in the Chicago In
ter Ocean, always remind me of the
Bucktails of Pennsylvania. The orig
inal Bucktails were as picturesque and
of as good stock as the Squirrel Hunt
ers, and as deserving of remembrance.
When the war broke out in 1861 Roy
Stone, who died not long ago, was
living in the heavily wooded district
Of Warren county. "He organized a
company of woodsmen, and, as the
authorities at Washington were slow
in accepting his offer of 100 men, he
put them on fiatboats and started down
the Allegheny river to join Mcclellan
in West Virginia.
Stones men furnished their own
rifles, and each wore bucktail to in
olcate that he was a good marksman
and had killed his deer. They start
ed for the front on their own flat
beats, without being mustered and
without promise of pay. They were
five days making the run to Pttsbu:g,
end there Stone was authorized to or
ganlze a Bucktail regiment. In the
advance on Richmond the marks
manship of the Bucktails was SO ef-
fective that Stone was asked to organ
ize a Bucktail brigade.
$50 the Bucktails grew into the ia
nous brigade of good marksmen that
won high honors at Charlottesville
and Gettysburg. From first to last
their story was exciting and romantic,
and they figured in more romances or
stories of the war than any other
eastern troops. The fact that the
original Bucktails started for the front
hundreds of miles away, instead of 60
ing TO the state capital for muster,
end that they decided to push their
way into the service without regard
TO rule or pay, gave all the Bucktails
a strong hold on the people"
