The Confederates are passing away
very fast-three in this township
within the last few days-William M.
Vanderford, Joseph NJ. Crawford and
H. Sylvanus Porter-all my special
friends al fellow comrades. Mr..
rfn ,-k
week before he died and I had long
and very pleasant talk with him about
our associations from boyhood days
up. He was the picture of health and
said he was feeling we'll and was
planning to attend the veterans re-
union in Macon in May. Mr.. Porter
was member Of Co. c, 7th s. c. cav
airy, and he had good war record.
He was member of Mount Joy Bap-
tist church and also a Mason and was
buried by his lodge with Masonic hon
ors.
Mr. Crawford and l were members
S. c. Volunteers. We were messing
| together and were eating our break
fast at Appomattox Court House, Va,
on Sunday morning, April 9th, 1865,
when General Lee surrendered his
army to General Grant. Our break
fast was plain meal of but one
course, no walters, no change Of
plates, no French name for the menu.
i ictn nf
cars Of corn were issued to us that
morning for our days ration. 1t was
all General Lee had for us to- eat and
we accepted it and we're thankful.
We were not fighting for rations nor
money but for our homes and our
Southland.
Mrs. C. N. Alexander is visiting at
her old home, Chesterfield.
Mr.. w. p. Williams OF White Stone
has moved with his family to Jones'
Vile.
Some fine carp are being caught
out OF the Pacelot river.
Rev. l.. Nj. Rice came up from Un-
ion last Thursday evening to attend
the Union prayer meeting which was
held at the Baptist church. The three
churches here have been holding un-
ion prayer meetings all this week, al
ternating between the churches. Sec
tarianism is fast being obliterated in
this country and denominational lies
are much modified, which to my mind
shows that intelligence is making
progress and that our people are hav-
ing better understanding of the
Rev. L. NJ. Rice and Rev. w. H.
scriptures.
Ariail filed their respective pulpits
here Sunday.
A Sunday school Of more than one
hundred on the roll has been organ

corn mill again where his mill and
shop were burned some time ago, near
the Methodist church.
