der which they We're written. The style
of the narrative is brief but vivid. The
story of the fall of Columbia reads in
part as follows
Thursday, February 16. QS60. We
marched at a. m. for six miles and
came in sight of Columbia, S. Carolina,
about 9 a.. m. and went into camp. We
camped there until the next day. The
rebels didn't fire a shot at US with cam
non but fired few scattering shots
with small arms. Two of the 18th Iowa
were wounded.
Friday, February live got up
early this morning and fixed up an old
| fiat boat which We had found, and car
ried it. down to the river. This was
about o'clock. Then Colonel Kennedy
went across in the boat with a regi-
mental picket officer. We watched
| them with an eager eye until we saw
| them land.
Our regiment went over twenty at
time. We landed opposite mill. Into
| this building the Minnesota battery had
fired shots to dislodge the rebels be-
fore we landed and we could see them
running away
LAS soon as eighty men were landed,
we formed a skirmish line and march
ed to the state house unmolested.
About IL O'Clock cur flag was waving
over the capitol building and our regi-
mental banner over the custom house.
When General Belknap saw the flag
waving he ordered thirteen shots to be
fired in honor of the 18th Iowa, as we
were the first regiment to enter the
town.
In speaking of this same affair, Mr..
Berry said today:
while have no diary of that time I
remember the occasion prettv well. The
day was beautiful From our position in
the trenches we could plainly see the
city across the river and notice the.
rebels scurrying away. Up to noon
there had been some firing. Then as
the smoke cleared away, We saw the
white flag of truce floating over the
city. At the sight a mighty cheer arose
from our men. We whooped and yelled.
Men who had quarreled and had not
been on speaking terms over little an
noyances incidental to army life, made
up and shook hands with each other
Soon after the flag of truce came up
We were ordered to enter the city. The
rebels had burned the bridges so we
crossed the river on a pontoon bridge
THAT night the city burned. No one
seemed to know how the fire started
We had to leave and camped ABOUT
half a mile outside"
This was about the last important
engagement of the war that MT berry
and Mr.. Allen were engaged IN
After the war Mr. Allen returned to
his home in Davis county, Ohio, Where
he followed farming. He came to Kan
sas in 1885. He is now retired farmer
Mr.. Berry also followed farming IN
his home Logan county, Ohio, until! ne

VIRGINIA hurley SOLD.
One Farmer Gets 5000 aud
Others Do Almost as Well.

Richmond, Va, Feb. l. Hardy
in the history of the local market
has any sale created as much inter-
est among buyers, raisers aid man
ufacturers of tobacco as the large
sale of Virginia-raised White Burley
at the Stonewall warehouse today.
The bulk Of the offering of this va
riety was the crop of John P. Taylor,
of Orange county, who, believing
that the soil of this state is as well
adapted to the growth Of this grade
or tobacco as that of Kentucky and
other states, has been experimenting
with it for some time.
Small crops were offered by F. K.
Weaver, S. B. Downing and E. "
Huffman, neighbors of Mr.. Taylor,
who had also been induced to expe-
riment in small way. Mr.. Downing
received the best average price,
S19.98 per 100 pounds. The an
nouncement had gone abroad that
this sale was to be made yesterday,
and every manufacturer in Rich
mond and the representatives of the
large establishments of other cities
were out to see the first sale of Vir-
ginia Burley.

GROWERS GROWL.
Considerable Dissatisfaction
of Selling Methods.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 1.-THE
Dark Tobacco Growers Association
met here today and from all indica-
tons there is considerable dissatis-
faction among the members over
the present management of the AS
ISOLATION and its selling methods.
The loose sales of tobacco in Ken
lucky and the slow sales of the 1907
crop with the accumulated charges
seem to be the bone of contention.
James Hughes said he wanted
some plan to sell his tobacco and get
the money for it and not be COM
PEELED to put it through what he
termed this machine. He had not
any kick to make against the Associ-
alton of the people, but the present
methods of handling are too expen-
sive for the average farmer. 1t was
all right for the man who had bank
account and could wait for the
money.
He said it was more of a prizers'
association than an association for
he people. j. Weaver said there
was considerable dissatisfaction and
some thought there was bug I'M

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN
Not a Blood Disease Cured by Oil Of
wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be a blood disease and was
enormously treated as such. but now
the best authorities agree that ecze-
me is only skin disease and must
be cured through the skin. The EN-
inent skin specialist, DR.. D. D. Den
mis-, first discovered the eczema germ,
and his discovery was quickly taken
up in both Germany and France
To kill the eczema germ and at
the same time heal the skin, DR..
Dennis compounded oil of winter
green, thymol. Rlycerine, etc. The
remedy is liquid. not mere salvs,
hence it sinks right into the pores of
the skin. Washing with this oil Of
wintergreen compound seems to
take the itch away at once; soon The
scales drop away and the disease dis
appears. LII E.g. IA say The pr,serip-
ton has now been used so long as to
have proven its absolute merit and
we do not hesitate to express our
confidence in D. D. D. Prescription
as used with D. D. D. Soap.
