was heavy with sorrow for the news of the death of the boy whom he loved as devotedly and tenderly as a son, and whose bravery was only equalled by his loyalty to the cause of the South- ern Confederacy, made his heart sick. The thought of the brave lad having surrendered his life for the cause, hay ing gone to the grave of a soldier in a far land among strangers. and who then filled an unmarked and unknown grave because of the invasion of the South by the Northern Army aroused in his breast all the lion in him.
 He chafed under the restraint that he, too, was not allowed to take his place in the forefront and bear a gun. While not allowed this privilege be- cause of the high position which he filled, yet he owned a valuable gun, which was said to be the finest gun in the army. He practiced with 1t at odd times, to amuse himself. for when boy living among the hills of old Tennessee he was considered one of the expert shots of the community and often hit the bulls eye when shooting for beeves at the usual Saturday shoot ing, and could knock squirrels out of the tallest ttimber in his native hills, and when he became ownor of this gun made for sharp-shooting. his old time love for shooting returned to him. and with practice he soon became an ex- pert.
 While waiting with his regiment that quiet Thursday morning when the air seemed filled with the dread of ap- preaching battle, when all pickets had been withdrawn, every tension wrought up and the men hourly expecting the clash of arms. though the enemy was not in sight, he glanced across the hol- low from where his regiment was sta- tioned. being on slanting hillside, and up the hollow he observed a sol itary horseman. dressed in the hated blue and astride a handsome gray horse. The man had just ridden out from behind a farm house, as if re- connoitering. AS he stood and watch ed him, as he surveyed the soldiers of the gray, longing to take af shot at him entered his bosom. While stand ing there watching the solitary horse man and thinking of the young broth CT who slept in Virginia soil. the Col onel and his staff rode up. The Doc tor said: Colonel Hyman. do you see that horseman over yonder?' pointing to the house up the hollow.
 "Yes," replied the Colonel. "the dist ance was between a quarter and a half mile and Jay in the direction of the enemy Colonel" said the doctor, q take a shot at him" No, mo-" replied the Colonel. 'I lost my doctor at Fort Henry and you will get killed if you go and have not enough doctors now. It is too dangerous and your life is too valuabl to tn cause. I cannot allow it." The Colonel and his staff had halt ed during the conversation. The doc tor was determined to press the mat ter and said: Colonel have just had news of the death of my youngest brother in the army of Virginia. I am desperate. I want a chance to get to the men who are responsible for his untimely death. I beg of you to grant the request" The doctor. heard some of the stan urging the Colonel to grant the desired permission. Finally the Colonel said: well. go, take care of yourself. I have not enough doctors

Almost none of it is stored. although when packed in Ice and placed in cold storage, it will keep in good condition for week. The stock of vegetables, except potatoes and cabbages, would be used up in three or four days, and practically all the dress ed beef and pork and mutton. for which New York is dependent upon the great States of the Middle West. would be gone within a week. Salt meat and canned goods might last a week longer and the stock of flour and other grain products would be a considerable re- source.

BY R. M. RAwLs.


 Athens, May 4.-(Special. )-There are many incidents of interest Of the great civil strife that ragged in this country from 1881 to 1865. that have never found way into print. and many. perhaps, that never will, and yet these unwritten stories are. in many in- stances, the most valuable part of the history made during those trying times. and especially Is this true when 1t comes to proving the valor and showing the fearlessness of men who wore the gray.
 There are thousands of these heroes yet living who have some little incl dent connected with their war history which if told would make valuable war history. These ought to be told. but the men who know them are in many instances, too modest and fearful of appearing vainglorious to let them out Yet these very things that are hidden from the world are in most part the most glorious deeds of heroism and ehivalry known to knighthood.
 One of these incidents was brought out not long since in a casual conver- sation with Dr.. Theo. Westmoreland. of this place, one of the most ardent vet erans in the South, who was a regi- mental surgeon for four years during the trying period of the Civil War. pr. westmoreland is a timid man when 1t comes to narrating deeds accomplished by himself during those trying days but he has a rich fund of historical facts about his comrades which he de- lights to relate, but this story Is about himself
 He never likes to relate his own experience and doings during that great history making period, but would rather forget it if 1t were possible. but this cannot be done. Once get him going and he can narrate some inter- esting bits of unwritten history. Re- gently while in a talking humor he re- lated to the writer an incident that, perhaps, stands unrivaled in the four years of strife and carnage. He hap pened to play the leading part in this particular incident, and 1t was with difficulty that we drew the story out.
 He entered the Confederate Army at the first call to arms and being then . physician of recognized ability and merit he was assigned at once to the important position of regimental sur geon.I This, of course. took him from the fighting ranks. but he always liked to be at the front when things were doing. He was always among his men and was recognized as one Tn whom they could find comfort and consolation. The incident to be relat- ed happened on the eve of the great battle of Donnelson:
 The doctor had brother. younger than himself, just entering the thresh- hold of promising young manhood, of whom he was very proud and very fond. This lad had attached himself to a company and had been sent to Virginia and was fighting under Jack son and while campaigning in the East the lad had fallen sick with camp fever and died. On Thursday morning before thS great battle was fought on Saturday at Donnelson. Dr. Westmore- land had received word that this be- loved brother had died and was buried in a soldiers grave In the far-away Virginia
 He was bowed with grief. his heart

Lafayette. Ala. May 4.-(Special.) Rev. F. NJ. Stewart. formerly Of Montgomery, has arrived here with his family, and has taken possession of the pastorium. which the Baptist people had prepared for their recep- tion.
 MT. Stewart is the newly called pastor of the Baptist Church here. and has been cordially received by his church. He has made a very favora- ble impression on all who have met him. and will doubtless do good work here.
 S. G. Burke. the oldest citizen of Lafayette accompanied by his little son, left a day or two ago for an ex- tended trip to Texas. He has been afflicted for several years with rheu- matism which has been gradually growing worse, and expects to try the virtue of some of the mineral springs in Texas.
