IN MEMORY OF MAJOR
HENRY GREEN COLE.

At Rest Oct. 18th, 1892, Federal
Cemetery Marietta. Sunday afternoon
the 18th of October, message came
to Mrs. II. G. Cole that her son, Harry
who had been reported recovering from
a serious illness, had relapsed and was
near death. Later another message
confirmed her fears that her. son had
passed away She could only wait in
anguish till his body could be brought
home to rest beside his father in the
beautiful cemetery so near her home.
With the bereft wife came Brigadier
General Sharp, on whose staff Major
Cole had served, and Sergeant Adams
who had been with him for years in
Texas, Cuba and the PHILIPPINES and
who begged to be transferred with him
to Washington City. These two COM
rades loved him so they wished to
share his last journey and both stood
with aching hearts among his kinsmen
and lifelong friends while he was
placed in his last resting place at home
where his heart began to beat. The
stately oaks in whose shade he played
as a child stretched their arms above
his grave protectingly. Flowers of
every hue, from stately white and purple
orchids, magnificent chrysanthemums
and dahlias, to fragile vioiets and lilies
of the valley, covered his lowly bed
An immense wreath on stand, a Tyre
on pedestal of white dahlas stood at
the head and at the foot another Tyre
of pink rosebuds leaned against an ever
green shrub. A pillow of ivy with a
crescent of white carnations was among
the tributes that came from Washing
ton. Wreathes and clusters sof roses
and other flowers oyerflowed the mound
like a benediction of color and fra

led with other blossoms and kept their
freshness longer than any others, re-
minding the many friends who linger-

mother who is so brave under her.crush-

Words fail TO comfort such broken
heart. In the first reality of such a

preaching since Adam has made death
other than death" Still there are
thoughts that will soften grief for a
splendid life closed at the height of its
achievement like a rose blighted by
early frost. So bring this wreath OF
unfading roses from the pen of Robert

Old Soldier Pays
A Visit To Place
Where Pounded


In the latter part OF July, while in
his campaign for solicitor general OF
the Blue Ridge circuit, in Coal Noun
tain District of Forsyth county, Hon.
Herbert Clay met A. ~ Pilgrim, a
citizen of Forsyth county, an old Con-
federate soldier. Mr. Pilgrim was at
a peach tree gathering peaches with
one of his neighbors when Mr.. Clay
met him. He Immediately asked Mr..
Clay where he lived, and was told
that he lived in Marietta, Ga.
Mr. Pilgrim said that I've was
wounded about a mile above the old
Factory Shoals on Sweetwater creek
near a bridge in Douglas county; that
he was on picket duty and was stand
ing at the foot of white oak tree
at the foot of the hill near a bridge.
and the Yankees came over across
the creek and fred at him, wounding
him twice; that he fell there at the
white oak tree at the foot of the bluff
near the bridge, and that as he lay
his wounds, begging for water, a
Yankee soldier ran up to a spring
about thirty yards from the bridge
and brought him some water; that he
was then taken to the home of Miss
Sallie White, who nursed him for
three long months until he recovered
Mr., Clay told Mr.. Pilgrim that Miss
| White, who afterwards became Mrs
DIR. d. n. Gober, was his mothers
first cousin; that his mother was rails
ed within a mile of the old factory
shoals, and that he knew the bridge
where Mr.. Pilgrim was wounded, and
believed he could take him to the
place. Mr.. Pilgrim told him to do
this, and If he did, he would certain
ly take care of him in Coal Mountain
District. Mr.. Clay promised to fulfill
his promise, and on Monday afternoon
Mr.. Pilgrim, together with his pastor
Rev. G. w. Forrest, came to Marietta
and they went to the Old Factory
Shoals, and to the bridge
Mr.. Clay took Mr.. Pilgrim to where
he thought he had been wounded, al
ter the description that Mr.. Pilgrim
had made of the place while he was
in Forsyth county Mr. Pilgrim i'm.
mediately recognized the white oak
tree, and went right straight to the
spring where the Yankee got the wa.
ter for him. He also called attention
to the fact that the road did not run
| like it had run, but went straight up
the hill, and that a horse was shot on
the top of the hill On investigation
the old road was found.
Mr. Pilgrim was then taken to the
Old Factory Shoals. The old cotton
mill at the Factory Shoals was burned
during the war, and Mr.. Pilgrim
saw it burned while he was wounded
at the home of Mrs Dr. Gober's moth
err He carried back with him to For
syth county walking stick cut from
the white oak tree where he was
wounded
The Old Factory Shoals is one of
the prettiest locations in the State
Of Georgia, and the location above
there of this old Confederate soldier
of the place where he was wounded
shows remarkable memory. 1t might
be stated that Mr. Pilgrim fulfilled
his promise, for Coal Mountain Dis.
trict went for Clay by a vote of SO to
4, and Clay carried out his promise
by carrying Mr.. Pilgrim to the place
where he was wounded forty-eight
years after it occurred.

islature, insist that it is full of loop
holes. The referendum board, made
up Of the insurance superintendent,
state treasurer and the state super
intendent OF public instruction, was
about to fix a date for the ballot. The
insurgent Woodmen, who are opposing
the increase in rates ordered by the
head camp last January, have been
carrying on a lively campaign.
An injunction suit begun yes
terday by Addison Jones, a beneficial
member of the society since 1889,
who carries $4,000 life insurance
for which his wife. Mrs. Mary Jones, is
beneficiary, contends that the old rate
never had been adequate to meet the
cruing obligations of the society. but
says that the new rates are fair and
equitable and will place the benefici-
ary and general funds of the society
on soupd financial basis.
Under the Donahue act officers OF
insurance societies must submit the
question of repeal to the total men,
