SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Capt. J. F. Melton OF Memphis, is
in the city the guest OF Attorney NJ
e. Gilbert. Captain Melton is a dis
tinguished Confederate soldier and
the Commercial Appeal recently con-
tanned a fun page description of his
army career. Captain Melton before
the war was town marshal of Murray
Ky, but at the breaking out of the
war he resigned his position and en-
tered the Confederate service. He
recruited a company and was in the
battle of Bull Run. After that bat
tie ne resigned his command and re-
turned TO Galloway county, where he
organized second company with
which company he made his way to
Fort Henry. He was at the fall OF
this fort, but succeeded in making
his way to Fort Donaldson. There
he was captured and committed to
Camp Chase at Columbus, Ohio. He
succeeded in making his escape from
the train that was bearing him thith-
er and made his way to Canada, trav-
cling as a private citizen. He stayed
In Toronto for two months and then
made his way back to Louisville by
way of Detroit. Once more he made
county. where he set about organic
ing his third company-this time a
company of cavalry He had organ
lied his company when he rode into
Yankee ambush and was captured.
This time he was handcuffed and a
heavy iron ball was fastened to his
leg. He was taken to Alton, Ill.
where he was cast into military
prison and confined in narrow dun
geon. Here he YVES subjected to Sc
we're treatment and tried several
times TO get word to his friend, Hon
Henry G. Burnett, a member of the
Confederate senate. that he might
get his parole. of which privilege he
was depied. After three attempts
the letter was finally sent by a Con.
federate, who had been paroled, and
II reached Mr.. Burnett. who imme-
diately took steps TO secure his re-
lease. After three weeks of negotia-
lions Captain Melton was admitted
to the privileges OF the other prison.
ers and friends were admitted to see
him. One day he requested one of
his friends to bring him a pair Of
case knives and a three-cornered file
These were slipped to him in a loaf
of bread, and. making saws of the
knives, he sawed the bars of his cell
and made his escape. He made his
way to Mound City, H., where he
secured boy to drive him to Metrop-
oils They drove as far as Caledonia
when Captain Melton dismissed the
boy and swan the river on his back
all the time keeping his eyes open
for signs of the enemy. Borrowing
a horse from some negroes who sup
posed him to be a Union man, he rode
to Dovelaceville and from there. went
to his home in Galloway county
There he reported to General For
rest and became a part of that noted
generals command. Captain Melton
took a prominent part in the battle
of Harrisburg and saved the COM

A fow misinformed newspapers
are wasting more or less valuable
editorial space criticlzing congress-
for passing a law, prohibiting a man
drawing a check for less than one

a law, thought it did pass law, pro-
hibiting the utterance of paper de-
signed TO pass as currency below the
value of dollar. which is a very
different thing.

Instead sweep with soft hair brush and wipe of with lukewarm water in which has been dissolved a teaspoon ful of Gold Dust washing powder and rinse with clear, warm water. Where oilcloth has been down for few months and is losing the shiny surface. wash according to directions. Then melt a little ordinary glue in pint of water, letting it stand on the back of the stove until dissolved. At night go over the whole carefully with flannel dipped in glue water.

AN EARLY FLYER.
John Wise of Pennsylvania Asked Pat
 ronage For Dirlgibe In 1850.
n inc Montpomerv Advertiser.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 It was in December, 1850, that Sen ator Stephen A. Douglas, the famous Illinois statesman, who afterward made it warm for Abraham Lincoln in more than one heated campaign, pre- sented to the Senate memorial from John Wise of Pennsylvania, who want ed Congress to assist him in his ambi- tious efforts to conquer the atmos- phere In his petition he stated that he had devoted 16 years to the study of aeronautics-aviation they call 1t these days--and was sure he had 1t all mapped out. He also said he had writ ten book on the subject. which had met with great favor from the scien- lists; and, what was more to the pur- pose, declared that he had made at least 100 aerial flights.
 Here, apparently, was something worth considering. His proposition was that if Congress would grant him bonus of $20000 he would build a balloon 100 feet in height, with lift ing capacity of at least 16 tons. Here was chance for Congress to assist an enthusiastic experimenter who pro posed to compete with the birds of ths air if money could be obtained. Here, too, was given the opportunity for our country to get ahead of the rest of ere ation and add one more to the laurels of Uncle Sam.
 But Congress failed to look kindly on the project. It was not as easy to get appropriations then as 1t Is now. The statesmen of three-score years ago were more wary, and were not ready to vote money out of the treas ury on what they considered f1ighty proposition. Money, public money, Is easy now, and there's little difficulty asout getting it if one knows how to go About 1t. The Senators made pom derous fun of the propositlon, and though MT. Douglas rebuked q n and told them that the matter ,rved serious consideration. they rel q to
