Southern woman's Experience.

Writing in the Raleigh News and

this fragment OF civil war history:
zone of our war experiences was
keeping house for two weeks in a box
car. We were coming back home
from Georgia. The journey consumed
two weeks, because our engine al.
ways stopped rs at night, and also at
all the cities for day or two. The
car next ours brought the servants
We bought provisions in the towns
and they cooked nice hot meals along.
side the track. We had beds, tables,
rocking chairs, books, and work bas-
kets Even the cat had not been left
behind, she belonged to the naval
branch OF the service, and was given
me by one of Capt. Eggleston's sailors.
She personally had never smelled gun.
powder, but all her family, her mother,
brothers, and sisters. had gone down
TO the fight in Mobile bay. and been
captured by the Northern fleet. In the
gunboat Gaines.
1T seems a strange thing 10 say,
but all that party look back on that
trip as the most comfortable ever
made by rail. While We were eating
and sleeping and talking. and now and
then receiving a visitor, our serv.
ants were improving the fleeting
moments by the most tremendous re.
ligious revival. The sound OF their
prayers, eXhortations, and singing
overpowered the noise of the engine
