ONE SOLDIERS EXPERIENCE.
An Incident that Reflects Conditions
When the Civil War Ended.

Mr.. John C. Wilson, of Heller
township, was in town on Friday
and talked Interestingly to the OBJ
server man about his early struggles
as a young farmer. He was not
talking for the paper,'' but he will
not take it amiss If what he said, or
the substance of it, appears in print.
Mr.. Wilson was a member of Cap
tain John M. Kinard's company, F, OF
the goth regiment. He entertains a
very tender recollection of his gal
liant young captain, who was killed
in the battle of strasburg, Va, Oc-
tober 13, 1854.
When Mr.. Wilson reached home
from Virginia in the spring of 1865,
little more than youth, he found
his widowed mother and four chill
dren. His father had been killed in
battle. The young Confederate, be-
ing the oldest of the children, had the
responsibility of the family upon
him. A band of Sherman's bummers
had passed through that section and
had carried off everything eatable ex-
cept a. few chickens that managed to
get out of the way. 1t looked like
starvation and was pretty serious
situation for a young man to handle.
Young Wilson remembered that
his father and Capt. James Gauntt,
of Newberry, had been mighty good
friends; so he decided he would
come to town and make an appeal
to Capt. Gauntt and see if he would
not help him. He found him in his
home on Adams street.-the old
house now occupied by Mr.. Robert S.
Perry-told him who he was and the
situation he was in. The old man
looked very hard at him for a while,
and then said: "You are an honest
young man." eyes, sir" was the re-
ply.
"Will a. hundred dollars help
you?" was the next question.
Eyes, indeed" was the young
mans reply, as his heart swelled with
gratitude and surprise, for he had
not hoped to get half so much.
Jennie" said the old man, turn
ing to his wife, ''get the money from
the trunk
She brought it and the husband
counted out ten gold eagles into the
young mans hand. With this he
bought ten bushels of corn, which
was then selling at So bushel, and a
few other necessaries, including
calico dress for his young sister, for
which he paid Csc yard. The corn
he Immediately took to Aull's steam
mill, a mile north of the city, and
had it ground into meal and carried
it home; and until he could raise
crop and some vegetables and pigs
the family lived almost entirely on
corn bread and chicken.
That year Mr.. Wilson, with the
help of the younger members of the
family, raised two bales of cotton
weighing 500 pounds each, and car
ried them to Augusta and sold them
for 43 cents a pound, in greenbacks.
He bought only a few necessary ar
ticles in Augusta and brought the
greater part of the s4OO and up
wards that he got for the cotton
back home with him, and came to
Newberry the next day and paid
Capt. Gauntt $140, the premium at
that time on gold being 40 per cent.

STATEHOOD DAY TO BE MADE A YEARLY EVENT Arizona's Admission Will Be Properly Celebrat-
 ed by Midwinter
 Festival.
BOARD OF TRADE
 PLANS BIG EVENT
President and Secretary of Commercial Body to Consult with Mayor ..
 and Governor.

At the board of trade meeting yes
 terday. a discussion was held relative
 to holding an Admission Day" fiesta. as soon as the vote of the late election has been officially canvassed and the president has proclaimed the advent of new state That will probably hap Den about the last of January or the first of February and the local com mercial body has for some months been coeitatinS on plan of enter tainment that shall properly express the qualification of the AriZonans at the culmination Of the long sought event of statehood.
 X number of ideas as to the proper procedure were talked over but the matter was finally left with President McClntock and Secretary Welch. who were commissioned to consult Cover nor Sloan ard Mayor Christy and find
 out their wishes and plans in regard 1 to the celebration.
 Admission day is an annual event l in several of the western states. par | ticularly in California where it is made ! the occasion for beautiful mid-win- | ter fiesta. and there is no doubt but l that il could he made equally attractive here The roses which are often | blighted by the frost earlier in the season have usually recovered and are again blooming profusely in full lux uriance of fragrance and beauty of coloring; the air has lost it's tang of coldness and become balmy so that 1t is pleasant to be out in the evening as well as during the day. and out of door sports could be made to appeal strong ! ly to both the home dweller and the | frfepdy tourist who as the victim or
 the wanderlust. is looking for some thing novel and interesting.
 In the public discussions heard on the subject of an admission Jay cele- bration. there seems to be a variety of opinions as to the sort of entertain ment that would most appropriately | express the sentiment of Arizona and the great southwest. There are many who believe that as the new state
 progresses toward the condition of conventional culture and the products | oE more thickly settled common wealths. it should keep reminders of it's early days. in the sports and amuse- mcnts that are typical of its former condition, such, for instance. as bron- cho busting. rope throwing. bull ril- ing and kindred diversions; others feel that a flower festival would bring more enjoyment to the majority of the community. some believe that a carnival which should include an i'm mense parade with floats representa- tive of the various industries of the
 state. would prove a model method of entertainment Whatever the out come. Arizona will have a mid-winter fiesta to celebrate her admission to
