The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1906-07-19


In conversation, the other day,
with an aged ex-Confederate sol
der, he directed our attention to
the fewness of the men past the age
of seventy, in this section, who had
seen service through the entire war
period-1861 to '65. The MAI talking
with us had passed his seventy-fifth
| birthday. and was one of those who
had seen such service. The argu-
ment will hold good, not only as to
this section but throughout the en-
| tire Southland-the men past sew
enty who served through the entire
war period are becoming few and
far between.
