last week. He was a Confederate vet
eran, a warm hearted man and a
sufferer. During the war Tom and
JOt ElstOn, another Talladega man,
were In Richmond and wanted to goI
outside the lines. They borrowed the
passes OF DR.. William Taylor, still liv-
Ing at Talladega, and then a division
and of the late NJ H. Cruik-
shank, member of congress from the
Talladega district. Tom and Jot spent
the day outside and did not look likel
or surgeons when they
got to the sentries on their return. 1t

them as they came up and presented
their passes. The officer took Toms
pass and looked at it long and steadily
and then looked at Tom and said:
What is your name?"
Now Tom had forgotten which pass
he had and was in distress. But he was
bold. He looked back in the officers
eyes and said:
'Dddang it, can't you read Pr
