|. N. Bramham was on one OF the
belated trains returning from Rich
mond last Saturday morning. Mr..
Bramham is one of the vets who
never misses reunion and he new
er fails to get his share of all the
real pleasure in them. This sea-
son ne made love TO one good look
ing widow in public and courted a
hundred more on the side, in proof
of which he brought home the sig-
natures in a memorandum book.
Mr.. Bramham says that this was
the greatest OF all the reunions.
He met lots of old comrades he
hadn't seen since the war. He met
one gentleman who knew him by
the name of "Bones" during the
war. This was Mr.. Haguewood,
father of Jas. L. Haguewood, of
this city, who did not recognize
him under the name of Bramham.
Mr.. Bramham was accompanied by
two little girls from Nashville on

the improvement has been very val
liable and ornamental to that part
OF the city.
The new home in which w. d.

has one of the prettiest places in
the city, and it has not been long
since it was very plain. Additional
new rooms and verandas, with col

the structure has been painted with
combination of green in different

proved with howerbeds and lawn
