had seen Mona Rees parading in
front of See clad in her night gown.
Bridges opened the way to the pro

Long before Bridges rose in wrath

Mona Rees was discovered by See,

There was a fluttcr Of excitement
in the court room when it was brought
out that Mona Rees had rejected the
attentions Of John Took, that later
Took killed himself as result Of Sees

The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1911-01-11

have been reading with both in
terest and instruction, the work en-
titled Memoirs of the War of Seces-
sion" or "lIagood's Brigade.
While having no personal knowl-
edge of the service of this splendid
command, nor OF it's distinguished
commander, my recollections of those
days and of the famous actors i'm the
great drama of the cos, together
with what l have since learned, has
taught me TO associate the name OF
Hagood's Brigade with the very tlrst
place in the great struggle for South
orn Independence. and that in that
brilliant array, of the FAMOUS sons of
South Carolina, who as types of the
brave men whose magnificent achieve
ments must live forever, the name OF
Hagood must be awarded a place in
tie foremost ranks.
This work covers the operations
of troops under command of General
Johnson Hagood for Il long period in
the operations around Charleston,
and of greatly distinguished service
i'm the defense of Richmond and Pc
tersburg in 1864 and on to the sur
render OF the armies of the Conreder
ate States.
This work, embracing in full, mem
oirs by General Elagood himself, is
edited by the old war horse, w. III.
Brooks. and like everything that
comes from him touching tie story
of the great sectional strife, it is re-
plete with historic fact, and graphic
description Of events in the field and
on the firing line.
IN closing, in 1871, General Hagood
said, "These memoirs are not prepared
for the printer, nor Will they, or any
part OF them, while | control them,
be made public, | bequeath them to
NY son that he may know what part
his father and his fathers friends
bore in the war; and with instructions
at any time to show them to those
whose record they give, or to their
descendants.
The time has not come, and may
