ham for the following joke on raw
recruit, which provoked hearty
laugh among his comrades at the
time the incident occurred and even
yet causes the features of the vets
who recall it to relax in smiles:
Young Ringgold Haselden, of the
Johnsonville section of this county,
a "gosling boy" as he is described
at the time, joined the army in Vir-
ginia along near the close of the war.
When assigned to picket duty the
first time, having been told by some
of the soldiers that it was custom
airy for the pickets on the opposing
lines to exchange courtesies and camp
commodities, he conceived the bril-
liant idea of capturing the enemy's
picket should the opportunity arise.
With this aim he looked about
him and soon espied a lone figure
at distance, which he took to be
one of the outer sentries of the op-
posing forces. Young Haselden &C
cordingly made friendly signs,
which were responded to, and the
two men advanced so as to meet on
middle ground. They soon got in
friendly conversation and, seeing a
spring hard by, Haselden in the
furtherance of his scheme, proposed
that they get drink of water. He
drank first and when his intended
victim was taking his turn at the
spring, Hasehen fell upon him
and tried to throw him to the
ground. The other fellow, though
taken unawares, struggled furiously
and soon the tables were turned
and he had Haselden completely in
his power. The latter yelled Justify
for help and Mr. w S Eaddy, the
officer of the guard, hastened to his
relief. When he reached the scene
he found Haselden on the ground
held firmly by the Yankee" on top
of him, who turned out to be one
of our own men, a member of a
Georgia regiment encamped near
by! Haselden, very much chagrined,
explained that he wanted to capture
at least one live Yankee and this
looked like very good opportunity.
The young man never heard the
last of his exploit while in camp.

The Following "reminiscences dilu
war stories were told to repre-
sentative of The Record by Mr. 5 )
Taylor of Greelyville, an enthuSlas-
tic veteran who finds no greater
pleasure than talking over old
times" with his comrades whenever
they meet together. Mr. Taylor
served through the whole of the
war from the first battle of Ma
nassas to the surrender at Apo
mattox court house on April II,
1865, and is one of the most inter-
esting raconteurs on this subject
that we know of in this county, be-
ing gifted with fluent expression
and very retentive memory.
Mr. Taylor recalls the following
incident while his company was in
Virginia:
a cavalry-man carrying news
from one regiment to another rode
up to dwelling and asked the lady
for drink of water. After salts
flying his thirst he asked her if she
had heard any news from the front
and this was her answer:
IAN exerter stopped here today
and said that the Yankees were NOR
tifying Blacksburg, that Goslin's
critter company had been routed,
that news had come over the pinder-
grass wire that the preserves had
been ordered out and it was feared
the whole State would have to be
vaccinated. While he was talking
the provoking guard came along
and interested him.
What she meant was that de-
serter had said that the Yankees
were fortifying Blacksburg, that
McCousland's cavalry had been
louted, the news had come over the
telegraph wires that the reserves
had been ordered out, and it was
feared that the whole State would
have to be evacuated. While he
was talking provost guard came
along and arrested him."
PAT SURROUNDED THEM.
On one occasion an Irishman in his
brigade captured ten men and took
them to General Jenkins. Did
you capture all of them, Pat?"
asked the general. Il did thot,
sor," replied the Irishman. How
did you do it," was asked. Begorra,
| surrounded 'em!' replied Pat with
out the flicker of a smile.
COULDN'T FIGHT NATIONS"
A Confederate soldier was seen
one day leaving the battle ground
in great haste. Someone asked him
why he was running. He said that
he couldn't fight whole nations;
that he had just heard General
Grant give the command: by ma
tions, right WHEEL" and he thought
it was time for him to leave.
OUR VALIANT SHERIFF.
While fighting in the upper part
of Virginia Mr. Taylor's company
was once barricaded in an old fort.
They were attacked from the front
by two or three thousand Federal
troops. The other part of the
ment was about a half mile dist
and the only exit from the /
was on the side the Yankees occu ,v.-

Those who were fortunate enough
to be present at a public meeting
held at Middlebury Tuesday evening
and listen TO a short talk by Mr. ].
D. Remington, special agent of the
New York Central and Hudson River
railroad had splendid opportunity
to hear an interesting phase of
great public question discussed by a
man who has spent many years in
the business OF railroading. The par
ticular phase covered by Mr.. Reming-
ton was the distribution of perish
able food products. Second only to
the production Of farm crops is the
so handling and marketing OF them
that all parts Of the country are sup
piled with what they can use The
great difficulty now is that the mar
ket Is glutted in one place while
there is a shortage in another One
day perhaps a consumer buys articles
at less than cost while two days la
ter he may pay double what he ought
4 considering the crop provided It were
properly distributed. What Is need
ed is something like a clearinghouse
system covering an arrangement en-
tered into by the producers, the rail-
road companies and the retailers,
whereby information may be quickly
gathered and disseminated so that
food products may be shipped where
they are needed and as needed and
not continually overstock one city OF
section while another is going short

Governor pr0utys Administration

We have observed a tendency in
some quarters, now happily few, to
belittle Governor Prouty's administra-
ton. This is all wrong for no
man in his position ever more
earnestly tried to perform the duties
of the office faithfully and fearlessly.
He assumed the Office with well ex-
pressed and well defined aims for the
welfare and progress of the state but
facts within the knowledge of the
writer lead to the belief that no gov
ernor was ever more deliberately
misled and betrayed by the selfish
ambitions and double dealing OF GER
tain legislators who to his face pro-
fessed personal friendship and un-
wavering support of his, policies, He
has submitted in silence to misrepre-
sentation doubtless trusting to time
and circumstances to reveal the
truth.
The writer holds no brief for Gov
ernor Prouty but justice to him re-
quires this much to be said now and
it is barely possible that justice to
the people may sometime demand
that specifications be fully set forth
with the evidence to sustain them.
But all this aside, the fact remains
that George II. Prouty has made an
excellent governor. Both at home
and while representing the state
abroad he has borne himself so well
that the people Of Vermont have nc
reason to be other than proud OF
their governor-Springheld Reporter

WHAT is eREATNEssr
Lecture Tomorrow Evening by S. NJ.
Bowles of Woodford

Don't forget the lecture Friday eve
ming at the Guideboard chapel on,
What is Greatness" On his various
delineations OF the great men of Eur
ope, years ago, Mr. Bowles makes in
terrogatories of which he proclaims
that it would, no doubt, be difficult
for the most intelligent persons in
the audience to "agree upon a YER
dict" This part of the discourse is
very profound for thinking minds.
OF the noted men of our own coun-
try the discourse shows that they
grasped their opportunity of the hour
wherein many of the present day fail
because this is not done, hence they
are seldom known outside the foot
lights"
Women are fervently extolled by
the speaker for their share OF celeb
rity and greatness in various ways
In the discourse there are special
words for young people and pupils
The lecture will be given under the
auspices of the Sunday school and it
is hoped that its treasury will be lib
orally replenished from proceeds of
the entertainment
There will be several numbers Of
vocal and instrumental music before
the lecture and one after. Tickets,
adults, rs cents; pupils 10 cents.

When it was announced that the
Gibson hospital is to close the Ban
ner had hopes that some of our pub
lie spirited people would bestir
themselves in an effort to either keep
this institution going or to provide
another. AS it stands today Ben
nington is the only large town in
Vermont which has absolutely no
place except the poorhouse where a
sick or injured person can be taken
for treatment, when there are no ia
cilities for caring for him or her at
home. 1t isn't very creditable to the
town. Bennington does not need a
very pretentious hospital because Of
our nearness to Albany and Troy
with their large and well equipped
hospitals, but we do need a place
where emergency cases can be taken
and cared for. There are people liv-
ing in this town who could supply
all that the town needs in this line
out of one months income and still
have enough left to supply every
need. The Banner would be glad to
announce such an outbreak of gener-
osity.

Senator LaFollette is in wrong in
his speech criticising the merger of
the Boston and Maine and the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
roads. The merger thus far has
been great benefit to New England
and will continue to be if 1t is not
allowed to pinch the public when it
has the power and that is in the
hands of congress now chattering
over trivial things and putting off
tackling those great measures which
the Republican party has promised
and which the needs of the country
require.

Many Doctors Prescribe

proprietary medicines under Latin
name charging for the written pres
cription three times the cost of the
medicine and do not hesitate to con-
denim that self-same medicine if 1t is

There are, however, many honest
doctors who do not hesitate to openly
recommend and prescribe such stan
dard remedies as Lydia Il. Pinkham's
