One party of twenty or thirty thus
signified their willingness to submit but,
owing to the fact that their comrades
occasionally took advantage of the cessa-
ton to get a volley into us, 1T was some
time before we concluded to give them
a chance. With leveled pieces we called
to them to come in. Springing upon the
breastworks in a body, they stood for an
instant panic-stricken at the terrible ar
ray before them; that momentary delay
was the signal for their destruction.

GENTLY to reach us. During the day
a section of Cowans battery took posi-
ton behind us, sending she'll after
shell close over our heads. to explode
inside the Confederate works. In like
manner Coehorn mortars 500 yards in
our rear sent their shells with admir-
able precision gracefully curving over
us.
Sometimes the enemys fire would
slacken. and the moments would be-
come so monotonouS that something
had to be done to stir them UP. Then
some resolute fellow would seize a
fence rail or piece of abatis and, creep
ing close to the breastWorks, thrust 1T
over among the enemy and then drop
on the ground to avoid the volley that
was sure to follow. A daring lieuten-
ant in one of our left companies leap
ed upon the breastWorks, took a rifle
that was handed to him and discharged
it among the foe. In like manner he
discharged another, and was in the act
of firing third shot when his cap flew
up in the air and his body pitched
headlong among the enemy.
On several occasions squads of dis
heartened Confederates raised pieces Of
shelter tents above the works as flag
of truce: upon our slackening fire and
calling to them to come in, they would
Immediately jump the breastworks and
surrender.

copy for new advertisements must
be handed in not later than l2
O'Clock on Tuesdays. When copy is
rushed in at the last moment we
cannot publish The Herald on time.
Last Wednesday after the forms
were nearly ready for the press
several page advertisements came
in and in addition to the regular
edition we had to prepare and print
four additional pages. The office
force worked through the entire
night and did not get the paper
ready for the mails until o'clock
Thursday morning. Consequently
there was little Thanksgiving"
among The Herald employees, 30 far
as rest and pleasure were concern
ed, although every employee in the
office was thankful that what ap-
peared in the beginning to be an
almost impossible task had been ac-
complished, even though they were
too tired and worn out to enjoy
thanksgiving turkey. We are in the
printing business to accommodate
our friends, but at the same time
our patrons must remember that
there is a limit to physical endur-
ance.

ing To Make Oath

Gentlemen:-
Had you spent s25,O0O.00 in advertising
your remedy to the people for the bene-
Mt of consumption and all the chronic
lung troubles, instead of distributing it
among physicians who put samples in
out of-the-way places and perhaps never
think OF them again, you would now, in
all probability, have paying trade,
while many poor victims of the White
Plague thatare now in their graves would
be we'll and attending to business.
believe you have one of the best
remedies ever offered to the people. j
believe 1t to be a general reconstruction
oftissue and indicated in all cases where
O Reconstruction is called for. / have
used Afcsol Lloyd for nearly five years,
and know what am talking about.
Once the remedy becomes generally
known there will be but little trouble
dfsposing of It.
You can use my name in any way you
see ut in advertising, as have said moth
ing in regard to the matter to which /
Will not be willing to make oath where
such course is necessary.
Very respectfully,
