THE AROUND TOWN MAN.

81 am doubly thanful for this
glorious rain, Main street merchant,

hampers business to such an extent.

bicycles which are equipped with those

A very interesting story is told of to

the success of the home club in the
race for the pennant last year and al
so this year. The two members are
Jack Scheneberg and Pop" Barnett,

in the league and the other the best

to persuade him to continue in the

made in the infeld and Barnett con-

Scheneberg pitched the remainder of
the game. This was the beginning of
their careers as pitcher and first base

ne told Jim to try it again. jim
did, and this time he came in with
lean, half-starved Confederate
mule. Is that the bestsyou can do
Jim?" "Bes' l can do. dis time,
Mahs William" AS half mule
is better than no loaf, the captain
kept the mule. But again he was
counting trouble. While absent
from his camping spot, there ceme
one from brigade headquarters, and
took the mule from Jim, as belong
ing to the brigade headquarters
outfit. This rolled the captain
when he heard of it, and lie marched
straight to brigade headquarters and
claimed the mule. Major Harry
Hammond, the quartermaster, pro-
tested that the mule belonged to the
quartermaster's department, and
could not be released to him. There
is no quartermaster's department, !"
exclaimed Capt. Brunson, mo quar-
termaster,no Confederate army, nor
no anything. We are all just plain
people, and that mule is mine as
much as it is anybody's.'' This
brought on some heated argument,
and in the course of it appeared
Gen. MCGOWAN, the. brigadier, and
took part against the captain. AS
words grew warmer Capt. Brunson
exclaimed, "And I'm not afraid of
anybody, even if he is . brigadier
general!" At this Gen. McGowan
replied just as hotly, And I'm not
afraid of anybody, even if I am no
longer a brigadier geneial!" After
some further talk, and some cooling
down, the captain was allowed to
keep the mule, and he rode it home.
But there always remained feeling
afterwards between Gen. MCGOWAN
and himself, SO that whenever they
met they did not speak. Until one
day, in Edgefeld, the two men hap
pening to be approaching each
other, Gen. MCGOWAN, big-hearted
and soft-hearted giant that he was,
threw open his big wide arms, and
cried out to little Capt. Brunson,
Come to my arms Brunson, damn an
old gray mulep' And 80 again the
two old war friends were united.
But how often in life sare good
friends parted for all timeby an old
gray mule! Would that we were
all as big as General Sam. Nc
Gowan and Captain William Henry
Brunson!
Yours truly,
