 My Dear Old Comrades: Being un- able from i'll health to attend the great reunion at Richmond of the brave men who followed the flag of the Confederacy until it was furled and laid away, and knowing that 1 was growing old and feeble, and that I had been honored as the command CT of the Mississippi Depart ment for seventeen years, l deemed IL but right and proper that l should re- turn the commission you gave me in 1890, and every succeeding year to the present time in order that you might elect younger and more vigorous man to command the Trans Mississip pi Department but my comrades from all the great states and territories of the South and West, the greatest country that the sun shines upon, by a unanimous vote have reelected me. No greater honor, my old comrades, could be conferred upon me. It fills me with love and affection for the brave old heroes who followed the flag of the Confederacy until it was furled, though not i'll dishonor, and forever laid away. 1 thank you, my old comrades, from the bottom Of an honest heart, for this great honor, of which 1 feel more proud than if l had been elected President of the United States. promise you it shall be the effort of my life to keep the cam? fires burning during my life. and that II shall as l have ever done, do all ton and to urge the gallant old he roes, "the unpaid soldiers of immortal principle' to keep in touch with each other the few short years left to us here.
 Recollect my old comrades, that the great Column of Gray, every member of which received his baptism of blood and fire over forty years ago-this column, the echoes of whose guns 1 were heard all over the civilized world, making crown heads, rulers and despots tremble, arousing the people to throw off the yoke of tyran- ny. and to contend for republican form of government, is growing small CT every year. and that but few years must intervent until taps will , be sounded and all will have crossed over the river to the Great Beyond, to hold our great reunion on that eternal shore.
 Let us then ask 8 kind Providence to spread His sheltering wings over us, So that We may meet in reunion these remaining years.
 Thanking you again, my old com- rades from ever part of our great Southland, for the great honor you !! have conferred upon me. pray kind and merciful God to continue His ! blessings upon our noble association and to bless you and all dear to yod, with good health and grant them all the pleasures and comforts incident to long and happy life.
 May God bless you all for many years to come will be the daily pray CT Of your old commander,

the past couple of years, We have had
considerable complaint from the resi-

down the river, and to obviate all such
complaints in the future We have just
flushed log gateway that we have
put in through the rack, that is nine
feet wide IN the clear and should be
sufficient to pass through, at ease, the
largest timber that is ever foated down
