Ln MT. Dent Camp Lon1ax Has
 Youngest Confederate Veteran

South in the carrying of messages which could not be intrusted to an older person.
 In a volume published in 1898 bv Thomas A. Jones giving an account of the work which the Secret Service of the Confsderacy did a half page is de- voted to a description of young War rem Dent. and the service which he per formed.
 The United Daughters of the Confed eracy, recognizing the value of the ser vices which MT. Dent had rendered his cause. some years ago decorated him with the little bronze cross worn the country over by old Confederate Vet erans. Until his recent election to Camp Lomax. Mir. Dent had not been identified with any organized Veteran movement. but like them. had always worn the lst- tie cross of honor.
 By the election. Montgomerv may now put forward and substantlate the claim that she contains in Camp Lomax the younast living Confederate Vntsr- an In the South.

Camp Lomax, United Confederate Veterans, has undoubtedly the youngest confederate Veteran who served in the cIvu war upon it's rolls as an active member. The last meeting of Camp Iomax elected Mir. Warren F. Dent tn nnembership. making him omciailv Inown as a Confederate Veteran.
 Al the conclusion of the civil war MT Dent. who Is a weil-known travelling salesman out of Montgomery, was hut m wears old. He was born in 1855. for ty miles from Washington City. In Charles County, located in the south western part of Maryland.
 Al inc beginning of the civil war MT. Dent was far too young to enter active service in the ranks of any branch ot the army. but Thomas A. Jones. then of the Confederate Government. saw in the little boy a useful aid. On account of his extreme youth Mir. Dent was neV- CT suspected or questioned as to hts movements, and. on this account he was able to render invaluable service to his

September is the first month toward tho close of the year, in the spelling or the name of which there is an TT. that means but one thing-Oysters.
 1t Is the hxed rule of this ofiice and paper that no writer therefor snail speak of them as juicy molluscs." or "succulent bivalves," and so. because or thA order, these terms will not appear in this story.
 When one thinks of the word oyster one sees visions of horse-radish and lit- tie eating utensils that suggest Senator TiIlman, and one feels the first tang of the fall air as one thinks Of that most blessed of all morsels. the deep sea-going oyster. Such thing there is. and until one has tasted them they know not what an oyster really ts.
 Along the South Atlantic Coast, where many little islands, composed of sand and shells of bivalves long since departed. are strung along the shore. one. when the tide is very low in the bays, can go down to low water mark and find oysters. clean with the clean ness of the great unchanging ocean.

Left wife Money

Although dependent upon the charity of some personal friends for treatment during the last stages of his illuess. Charles H. Hill the man of varied nav al and army careers. who held commits sions in three navieB and two armies during his rowing life in search of ex- citement. was insured in the sum of S5, 900 for the wife from whom he had been separated for more than six years, This fact developed when the body was buried.
 That the deesased, even after a bril- liant career had reached poverty still thought of those from whom he had been separated many years. was shown by his act of keeping up a policy which he had taken out in his prime and glory as a first lieutenant in the Amer ican Navy. This policy is in favor of Mrs. P M Hill. of Atlanta. Ga. When she learned that her husband. from whom she had never been divorced was at the point of death at local hospital. she left her home in Atlanta and came to his bedside He was then dying RS he had been for over month, aithouRh walking the streets. with a determined smile. She remained only few days and returned. and two days afterwards she was notified that the tighter on land and sea of many countries had pas sed to the great beyond and had left her Sb, 900.

In Earnest Fall Has Come
 For the Oyster Is SerUed

the only thing the meddlesome hand of man has been unable to mar, too big for his puny conceit to tackle. Here. where the tide Is lowest. strewn along the sand. one finds orange colored. pale blue. pink and green shelled oysters. the shells so delicateiy tinted that only when the rays of the sun strike them aslant do the colors show.
 If one will take small pieces of drift wood and sedge and build fire and let 1t die down until only the hot embers remain, and then place the oysterS' mouths beside the hot coals until they open. then using nothing but a pocket knife to remove the oyster. then and not until then will he know what SD oyster Is.
 But the pale grey substitute of the restaurant and cafe Is edible. and in dented tin trays. the mud of some stream plastered about their dismal shells, and mud-be dotted ice scattered over them, will be seen here in a few days. and "epicures' will pass judgment on them and pronounce them good, for they wis not what they say.

10 be altoxether freed from bearing burdens The religion of Christ does not propose anything so absurd for 1t would mean we should cease living entirely, since 1t is life itself which as the burden. What Chrst will do If we learn of Him, Is not only to make life bearabie but brighter, bet ter. sweeter. Ills yoke Is no hardship. but quite the contrary, for 1t tempers and alleviatss human life. It Is the Divine method for making life both happy and blessed for making us Cun- derstand life Is not simply burden
 to be borne with haiting steps and fretfui, complaining spirit. but stew ardship. glorious blessing. means
 for service to God and man. Chrisfs
 yoke" teaches us how to deal wifh
 the work of life. teaches Jus how to
 bear its burden so that we may adjust
 ourselves to the stress and strain,
 and thus vastly relieves the friction
 of life. This. I need hardly say. Is not for the purpose of promoting sell
 nsh ease and comfort. but in order that
 We may get the most out of life and
 set free our highest faculties for ser-
 vice. which is the supreme object of
 our existence.
 Let us therefore. men and brethren,
 realize that the yoke of Christ Is not
 meant to he a sort of slavery and
 those who wear if objects of pity.
 and the subjects of numberless petty
 and senseless restrictions while they
 are expected to suppress every simple and natural feeling, as If our Lord. whose yoke we wear, Is a hard and
 cruel taskmaster. instead of our sym pathetic. loving Elder Brother and Savior, who was tempted in all points like as we are and touched with the feeling of our infirmities. Oh. Nol He does not hamper with useless rules
 Indeed He does not give us rules at all, but principles. He does not re- quire self-denial where none is neces- sary. His religion does not teach we are to consider an act criminal mere-
 iy because 1t gives us pleasure. or that we are to make a virtue out of mis- cry under the plea 1t is 'the yoke of Christi" Nay let us understand that taking Ills yoke and learning of Him means we shall be stimulated and invigorated to a new grace of living. It means we shall be given wisdom to put ourselves In harmony l with the facts of life. and the cares 1 of life be frightened. 1t does not mean however, that our circumstances shall
 be changed. but, what is infinitely bet. ter. we shall be changed, and moro. over given strength and grace tc adapt ourselves. in the spirit of Chrisl
 Himself, to our circumstances, rise above them, and not De overwhelmed by them. It means our horizon sha,'

 means we shall be made to know that our conversation. our citizenship. is
 In heaven. In word, 1t means we
 shall be victorious over the world the flesh and the devil and at the last receive the crown and wear the white robes of eternal life.

A Good Time at MetCaIf.

The most enjoyable social affairs eyer given at the Coronado mine was the dinnerdanCe given by Messrs. Cove, Chesser and Dunn on Satur- day evening of last week. A number of Clifton people were favored with the unique invitations which were cleverly expressed in rhyme. Coro- nado is becoming so noted for its jolly good times, that nearly every invited guest accepted with alacrity and found his way up either on horseback or by way of the incline. The ladies were made welcome at the home of MT. and Mrs. Gay, while the gentle men were equally well cared for by the hosts at their bachelor quarters. An elaborate course dinner was served at s o'clock in a diningroom artistically decorated in mistletoe, Christmas greens and holly ribbon. Red shaded candles and handpainted place-cards of scenes around Coro- nado, added to the charming effect of the beautifully arranged tables where covers were laid for thirty. McClure's orchestra played through out the dinner, which, it is needless to say, was done full justice by the guests Toasts were given by the gentlemen. Judge Dermont in a few well chosen remarks, expressing the appreciation of all present tor the splendid entertainment. This toast was responded to by Messrs. Cove and Chesser in very happy manner after which MT. Hampton suggested that all should rise and drink to the health of the hosts. This was done with great enthusiasm and brought the dinner to happy ending. From then until far into the morning every one danced to the fine music of the end the festivities by the lateness of the hour. The entire evening was such a success that all are hoping for many more occasions. As hosts Messrs. Cove, Chesser and Dunn are unexcelled, while Mrs. Gay, who acted as hostess, is a charming one and has the faculty of putting all at their ease.
 The outside guests were Judge and Mrs. 'DermOnt, Misses Daniels and Greer, MT. and Mrs. Dan Grant, Messrs. Will Grant, Pratt, Horton and Simmons, of Metcalf MT. and Mrs. Hampton, MT. and Mrs. Foote, Mir. and Mrs. Berault, Mesdames Terrel and Henderson and Miss Ter rell, of Clifton.
