OBTAIN RELIC OF CIVIL WAR.
Anderson (lnd.) Men Receive Picture
OF Last Man Killed.


Captain B. B. Campbell and Daniel
F. Mustard of Anderson, Ind, mem
bers of the Thirty-fourth Indiana in
fantry in the civil war, have obtained
the last photograph Of the last man
killed in the civil war-John Jefferson
Williams of Jay county-and surviv-
ors of the Thirty-fourth regiment will
be favored with copy Of the photo
graph on medallion that will be q
part of the souvenir badge at their
next regimental reunion.
THAT picture Is good likeness Of
JEFF Williams shortly before our last
engagement, near the mouth of the
Rio Grande river, in Texas" Mr.. Mus
tard said. 1T is on record that the
last battle of the civil war was the
one in which JEFF Williams was killed.
1t was fought almost a month after
the surrender Of Lev to Grant The
prolonged campaign of our regiment
was accounted for because of delay iE
getting word to us to lay down our
arms. We got into that last battle
when we went to the relief of some
colored troops who were foraging for
beef cattle and we're charged on by
confederates. Jef Williams was the
only man killed. remember distinct
" Of seeing him near the top of a
hill when the confederate forces flred
from the valley beyond.
"Jeff Williams fell forward dead on
his gun: he had been shot directly be-
tween the eyes. The boys carried his
body to near Brownsville, Texas,
where it was buried. About ten days
afterward our regiment was marching
into Brownsville, Texas, to take that
town. when we met confederates who
did not oppose us and explained that
the war was over We then occupied
Fort Brown and other camps near
Brownsville until ordered home for
our discharge.
Here Is coincidence worth noting.
Our regiment in the last battle Of the
war went to the relief OF coIored
troops, and the last fort we occupied
was the one from which President
Roosevelt recently discharged a troop
of colored regulars, at Brownsville.

waved Her hand and as she turned
away laughed out loud.
Mr.. Ramsdale entered the sleeping
car, behind the porter and his first
glance was towards the girl that his
wife had recognized.
She was dressed entirely in black,
which suited her dark beauty, q big
picture hat ON her head and long
black gloves seemed to complete her
costume.
Very pleased that he could use his
wife's recognition as a basis to be-
come acquainted with this beautiful
girl he said:
Il am Mr.. Ramsdale, and as you
are friend OF my wife hope you
will consider that an introduction and
let us be friends for the journey"

be pleased to be friends. / knew you

am going to New Orleans; how far
are you going?"
ITO the same place. 1t will be de-
lightful TO have company"
The train pulled out and the two
went to dinner together. When they
were at the table he was rather sur.
prised that she did not remove her
gloves, but he was so deep in his flirta-
tion that he made no remark.
The next day was spent by the two
together in pleasant converse. She
received several kilograms at Mem
phis the next day. One Of them was
from his wife and she showed it to
him. 1t was as follows:
ITO Miss Marcella Train, Memphis,
Tenn: My husband is on the train.
Will you please tell him that l have
sent him telegram to New Orleans.
Have you met him? Please answer.
Francis Ramsdale."
Marcella showed him the telegram
and then said: II answered at once
and told her that you had introduced
yourself as soon as you came on the
train"
Il am sorry" he said, that you told
her we were acquainted. My wife Is
always complaining about my flirting
and / suppose she will call my becom-
ing acquainted with you flirting"
The Irritation went on until the
train pulled into the depot at New
Orleans.
They walked side by side till they
had neared the gate then she pointed
to a well-dressed negro standing be-
side the gate and said;
There is. my intended husband"
What! not that negro!" he ex-
claimed in horror.
She laughed and said: why not?
l am negro, too, at any rate had
negro mother"
Stopping still where he stood he
looked at her in dismay and horror.
She laughed again and said: Good
by. l hope you enjoyed our little
Irritation"
He was too Supplied to answer and
she walked away still laughing. AS
she reached the gate she turned
around and called to him: BE sure
and get your wife's telegram"
He hurried to the telegraph Office
and inquired for his message. When
it was handed him grim smile spread
over his face and he knew his wife
had put up job on him. For these
words met his gaze:
II hope you had good time. Fran

Not in years has Col. z. F. Clay, of
this county, member OF thesState Race

foals at his farm as he has been this

many others, which have done their
part toward making turf history.

many breeders colts are more desirable
than fillies, but the FLIES by Sir Dixon,
