strenuously endeavored to keep his

in the civil war. He enlisted as cap

FIsTlcUFFs ON PICKET LINE
An Entertaining Diversion Between
Soldiers of Opposing Armies Dur
ing Lull in Hostilities.

THE funniest thing that ever oca
Cured in my experience" said an old
officer, took place in the summer of
64 on the picket-line in front of the
Tenth corps.
L had not been promoted then, ana
was out on the line as a sergeant. The
firing was so sharp and heavy that we
would have called 1t battle two years
before. The pictets on our extreme
right at Bermuda Hundred were so
close to each other that the line was
only relieved at nights, and we keut
quiet about it, too, for at the least
noise the Johnnies would fire at the
sound; so that each man would crawl
out to his station and drop into lit
tie pit, while the man he relieved
would crawl back as cautiously to
safety.
"One mighty hot day, some time IN
July, 1t seemed that all the boys on
each side drew so heavily on their can
teens that they ran out of water, and
along in the afternoon everybody
seemed to be thirsty as blazes. The
lines were not over 40 yards apart,
but just between us and the rebs a
little branch ran down toward the
James river, and the water looked
mighty tempting. After while one
of our boys sang out to the man across
the creek: Johnny, give me a drink!'
Jonny yelled back All right; come
after it. That raised a laugh along
both lines, but in minute our man
sang out: Blamed if 1 won't do it if
you won't shoot! 'Flirt your shirt,
then, and come ahead Honest
Yes, indeed, and well all fill our can
teens
The proposition took, and in spite
of the yelling of the officers on each
line, pretty nearly every bayonet on
each side showed up something white,
and in less than ten minutes nearly
every man, Yank and Johnny, was fill
ing his canteen. Then came the usual
trading of coffee, tobacco and newspa-
pers, and then some good-natured
chatting.
much later than any of his reb
comrades, long-legged, thin, red
headed and frecllled Johnny came
GOWN Jne Dank, ana a smart AleCh OIL
the One Hundredth New York sang
out: Hello, Tar Heel, why didn't you
come sooner?' Johnny walked straight
up to him and drawled out: Say,
how'd You know, stranger, that I'm
from Moth K'liny? Well said Mr..
Smarty, you look more like razor
back than anything I've seen this side
of New Berne.' Tar Heel smacked him
square in the mouth, and before the
| laugh quieted both went at it hot and
heavy, give and take. Our man was
pretty healthy fellow with plenty of
ability to take care of himself but in
about ten minutes, while all hands
formed a ring, Tar Heel had licked him
till he hollered. While the fight was
| going on the Johnnies kept betting all
the tobacco they had against our to-
bacco and sugar, and when the affair
was over told us that their man was
known all through their division as a
lively fighter although he didn't look
it by a blamed sight
Both men cleaned off in the branch,
and while they were still shaking
hands one of our shells burst close by,
and IL two minutes Ill the men were
back III their burrows and as anxious
to shoot the stuf1ng out of each other
as they had been friendly just before. ;"

That Raceway Again.

If Mount Holly escapes the season with
out the appearance of any sickness,
because of the stagnant condition of
the raceway back of Mill street the theory
of Prof Smith, the state entomologist that
mosquitoes carry the germs of contagious
diseases, will receive somewhat of a jar,
as the raceway is breeder of mosquitoes
on par with many of the marshes in the
pines.
The citizens of Northampton township
having stated their desire in the matter of
assisting the Mount Holly Water Company
in erecting dam on the upper creek, it is
now up to the township committee to do
something, and it is more than likely that
the members of that body will take favor
able action They have before them
petition bearing the signatures Of many
citizens and taxpayers, which was pre-
sented at the meeting held Tuesday even
ing, when some verbal utterances on the
subject were made by several persons.
The Township Committee has the right
to consider the appropriation of money for
this purpose, it being on the same basis as
expenditures for flushing the sewers. The
stencil that arises from Buttonwood run
is something fearful, and there should not
be any delay in making move to remedy
this as well as to flush the raceway. We
do not want any epidemic here The
Water Company is reported to have said
it cannot do anything for year, but it
should not wait that long Work should
be commenced at once The people of
Mount Holly have been very patient in
this matter. A grand jury inquired into
the condition of the racewaY and found
there were good grounds for an indictment
for maintaining nuisance. Immediate
action was delayed because there was some
chance of sale Of the dam to the Water
Company This has been contaminated and
now we are told we must wait another
year This Is not right. The complaint
still stands against the nuisance regardless
of ownership and there should be move
to remedy the evil and protect the com

has an eye towards the Office of Steward Of
the Almshouse, but does not care to enter
the race this time for fear of hurting Johr
Norcross' chances Well, if that is al
that is keeping him out he might as vel
get in.
William 2. Younker, of Lumberton. has

he meant and that what he meant he
would stick to through thick and thin.
He was tall, broad of shoulder, and
his homely face radiated good nature.
Although the bulk Of the great Parkin-
son fortune was his, he sat daily before
man. The fact that fellow had q
little money did not render him exempt
from honest work, said Parkinson, and
this was why the foreign accounts Of

why Parkinson received SIS at noon

and cigars.
