He was. however, soon promoted to be Archer's Brigade. A. P. Hill's Division and Jackson's Corps. He served the Confectionery from the beginning to the close. of the war, and served with dis tinction.

 While suffering from this wound and while on his way home he first met with Judge Thomas e. Jones and be- gan in an unusual way a friendship that continued through life. Judge Jones had been badly wounded in the leg and foot at Spottsylvania The two met on the train on the iong jour ney--Captain Ashurst suffering from the dangerous wound in his head that affected his eyesight so that he could barely see large objects and Judge Jones hurt so that he could hardly walk with the help of crutches. They struck a compact and each sup piled the others deficiencies on the long trip to Alabama.

 As result of this wonnd Captain Ashurst was retired from active ser vice in the army, but at bis request he was given enrolling duty in Cal houn County until the close of Ehe war.

In the death of Capt. J. V. Ashurst a feky days ago at his home near East Tallassee, long and fruitful life end ed and strong and interesting figure disappeared from the walks of men.
 The son of an old and wealthy fam fly, a Confederate soldier, he was, too a man of strong character. who re- fused to be overwhelmed with the mis- fortunes that befell the South. when it became a conquered province after the war He was one of the strong men who adapted themselves to conditions, who went into new and unknown fields and wrested good fortune from adver-
 He was a successful planter. And under adverse circumstances he was a successful man of affairs. Three miles east of Tailassee he lived the years of his manhood in fine old country place where old fashioned hospitality had it's home.

His life WAS a connecting link be- tween Alabama of the Twentieth Gen. tury and the pioneer period. for he was born March 2S 1887. The planta- tion home at which he was born stood not far from Old Elam Church, but like 50 many other old time holnes 1t long since went up in flames.

His wife. who was Miss Gillie V. Henderson. survives him. He is also survived by four sons and two daugh- ters. His eldest son is James H Ash urst. a well known business man of East Tallassee.
 Captain Ashurst was a representa- tive type of fast disappearing class --that class made up of Southern gen. tlemen who had the privilege of spend ing their youth and young manhood in the surroundings and among the conditions of the old South--conditions which made for character building in forwardness.
 One who knew him well said of him:
 'In his family he was affectionate "a good husband and an indulgent father. To the outside world he was honest, even and just."

IT Has PASSED Us BY.

There is an accumulation Of graft
ficatlou in the comparisons daily made
by visitors of the financial and bust
ness conditions of Phoenix with those
parts Of the country from which the
visitors have come. Though the panic
through which the country has pass
ed as been widespread and in some
respects the most disastrous of the
generation. we have had nothing of it
here except Il slight reflection. II
has not lessened the value of any Of
the products of the valley. of labor,
nor has il decreased the volume of
business of the merchants whose trade
has been heavier than it was year
ago. We have of course felt indirect
Il the effect of the reduced activity
in the mines in other parts of the ter
ritory. but that reduction may not be
regarded as a result of the panic and
only more or less remotely associated
with it. That effect therefore would
have been felt in the same degree if
there had been no panic
There have possibly been instances
Of interrupted local transactions in
consequence Of the arrangement OF
outside plans of the persons concern

suited. only disappointment and delay.
There may have been a few timid
souls who feared without cause that
the pinch would come to us later. not
because there was any prospective
danger, but because of a superstitious
notion that a panic is necessarily all
pervading. Such persons may now
dismiss their fears for there are daily
assurances that the crisis has been
passed. the worst is over and that the
whole country has entered upon the
upturn.
There will be from this time for

reports OF the failure of banks and
commercial houses. Such reports will
perhaps be no more numerous than
they have been in the most prosperous
periods when they would have had no
significance and would hardly have

BLUE AND DRY

Newspaper men should be discrinl-
mating and accurate with their adjec-
tives and other qualifying terms. In
the popular estimation a dry town or
a dry Sunday means a town or sun
day in or on which liquor is not sold;
while blue" town or Sunday is one
when or where certain amusements
are prescribed. But some papers are
already using these terms promiscu-
ously. as IL they significd the same
thing. For example. 1t was announced
that a certain town in which the sale
of liquor on the 18th was TO be for
hidden was 10 have blue" Christ
mas. Why not say dry" Christmas i?
in a sense blue laws" comprehend
prohibition as well as the barring Of
anusements. But in current speech a
blue" Sunday is not secured simply
by closing the saloons. To get a blue"
Sunday or town the theaters and all
show places must DO closed also.

AMT 1T THE TRUTH

Those Californians oft regale

OF how each plant and animal
Grows best and biggest out in Cal
And If you venture a remark
About our splendid valley,
They answer with the same old bark.
We've better far in 'Callie.'"
Just anything you choose to name
Upon this globe terrestrial,
No matter what its size or fame.
It's been exceeded out in Cal"
And when they leave this world of woe
And reach old Nick's corral.
They'll say. "Oh. yes. it's hot l know.
But it's hotter back in CAL
But there's one product Of our town
In which we are supreme:
