At the residence of an old lady,
who appeared very patriotic, was to be
seen hung up over the doorway the
following sentiment, printed in large
though rough and unsymmetrical let
tiers, THE United States of America

nois passed by it's regimental band
struck up Yankee Doodle" which
pleased the aged matron exceedingly
During the march through the pine
forest section of LAWYER Alabama, some
of the comrades of the Ninety fifth
Illinois decided that in the absence of
articles of forage usually found along
the route of such expeditions, they
would partake of a rare bit of food
| which came into their possession in
| the following manner: The Forty
| fourth Missouri after getting into
camp one evening, had slain a huge
rattlesnake, which measured full six
feet in length and whose tail con-
tanned a dozen rattles. 1t was a mon
strous reptile of the kind. fat, sleek
and venomous, it's appearance fully
demonstrating that if human beings
could not find enough in that wilder
| ness to grow fat on, rattlesnakes
could.
Later in the evening some of these
comrades brought a piece of their
cooked rattlesnake up to regimentaI
headquarters and offered it to the
| colonel and staff, but we thanked the
| boys for their kindness, assured them
we had already eaten, to the full, our
evening meal of common army ra-
tions,'' and that we did not care to
indulge in their. kindly-proffered dish,
not even as a dessert.

pursued and forced to abandon the
stolen engine and take to the woods
near Lafayette, Ga. Within week
every member of the band was cap
tured and placed in the dungeon of an
old negro prison at Chattanooga, Tenn
Two weeks later IL of the men were
taken to Knoxville, Tenn, to be court
martialed as spies.
In the meantime, J. J. Andrews, the
leader, for whom the band was named,
was sentenced to be hanged. On the
It'll of June the ten men left at Chat
tanooga were transferred to and
placed on the second floor of an old
prison at Atlanta, Ga, and Andrews
was executed there on the day of their
arrival Four days later the IL men
were taken to Knoxville. Seven had
been court-martialed, and four days
later they were taken out and exc
cuted without an hours warning.

The IA men left, well realizing their
doom if they remained, decided to
make their escape or die in the effort
On October 16, following, eight of the
IA escaped and reached the union
lines about a month later, travelling at
night and hiding in the day time
They rejoined their command at Nash
vile. Tenn, the latter part of Novem-
Der and went with Sherman to the
sea and were discharged at Colds
boro, N. c., March 81, 1865
The six men who failed to escape
from prison were never executed, but
we're kept in various rebel prisons un-
til the 18th of May, 1854, when they
were exchanged at City Point. Va
The reason they were not executed
was because President Lincoln, 1t is
said. on learning the true condition
of affair, notified jeff" Davis that if
these men were executed he would
hang two confederates for each man
executed by the southerners.
There are now only six OF the 2z
members of the band living. The In

follows: John r. Porter, at Wind

RArTLEsnAKE SUPPER.
Some "reminiscences of the March
From Mobile to Montgomery, Ala.

Directly after the capture OF Mobile,
the Sixteenth corps received orders
to proceed by land to Montgomery,
about 200 miles distant, and on April
IS. 1865, we moved out from near Fort
Blakely for long march to the first
capital of the confederacy, writes a
Belvidere correspondent of the Ma
tional Tribune in relating his war
time experience.
The route taken was over the old
post line, and lay, for most part.
through a lonesome and almost in
terminable pine forest, for which this
section of Alabama was then noted.
The country through which the march
was made was rich, indeed, in stately
pine trees, but still was the poorest
part of the state, from the fact that
it was only slightly cultivated in
places few and far between, very
sparsely inhabited by occasional
poor Whites and seemed but one
vast, almost unbroken pinery and soil
| tude for the distance of more than 100
miles after 1eaviCg BlakeIy- The
| weather was hot, the roads were
rough and dusty, and many of the men
| were afflicted with sore feet before
| arriving at the journeys end 1t was
reported, at first, that the troops
would pass through Selma, Ala, and
as the regiments were toiling along
one day some waggish soldier had
/ placed sign on tree where al
could easily read it the following no
tice: ITO Selma, $50 miles, sore fee1
or no sore feet"
Still further on, another pioneer
guideboard appeared in conspicuous
1 position having this announcement
ITO good living 10 miles,, and thu
scarcity of chickens, pigs and forag'
of all kinds in that particular vicinity
with the abundance in which the.

slipped away A few minutes after
Kelly left the anterooms of the grand
jury's headquarters his absence was
discovered and deputy sheriffs were
sent in every direction to find him and
bring him In Kelly probably never
will forget his experiences of the next
IL hours He was held prisoner by
the men he was about to betray, and

was put on a train at one of the SUI

that three days before his 12-year-old

and that his wife was then lying al

The Time to Buy.

This is the time to buy produc-
tons. Property which a few months
g were held at sos 900 can now be
had for $4,000, Mny men and ON
panies are in tight places. They would
not see the danger, and as fast as
money came in from oil sold, the
drilled more wells. Now the price
has gone down, they have more oil
than they can sell, they owe the sup
ply companies and others and their
creditors are pushing them. They
are up against it and unless they a
make a quick turn or the market
goes up, they stand in the way for
heavy losses. Many of them, too,
are very fine properties. Leases are
also selling very much cheaper than
they were. II has ben said that the
Prairie was buying up everything
they could get, but the testimony of
men who have tried to sell good
productions at any price the Prairie
would name, would indicate to the
contrary.
