The Kenna record. (Kenna, Roosevelt County, N.M.) 190?-1924, 1913-07-11
WITH BLUE AND GRAY AT GETTYSBURG

Many were the stories told and in
Vulnerable were the Incidents, both
pathetic and humorous, which marked
the great reunion of the Union and
Confederate veterans on the Gettys-
burg battlefield. Concentrating the
flftieth anniversary of the most stub
bornly contested battle of the Civil
war, fragments of the hosts which
faced each other in that conflict gath
cred to renew old acduaintances and
to recount the deeds Of other days.
Here 10 a story which was told by
A. T. Dice, vice-president Of the Read
ing railway:
Once upon a time there were a vet
eran In gray and a veteran in blue.
They came to Gettysburg and in the
course Of events and visits to hotels
they happened to meet They looked
over the sights of Gettysburg and the
monuments of the field. But they
found they must part.
The one in blue lived in Oregon;
the one In gray in New Orleans. They
went weeping together to their sta
ton and passed by train after train,
deferring the parting that must come.
Just what they said, just how they
reached the final grand idea of the
meeting, Mr.. Dice did not know.
But, however, yesterday they finally
decided that the time for parting had
come. The one from Oregon could
not figure how to reach home via New
Orleans and his gray comrade, while
willing to see the west, didn't have
the money for a ticket.
They lined upon on the platform as
their trains stood waiting and then
before the crowd. they slowly stripped
M their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious fiocked
to see them.
The Oregonian who came proudly to
town with coat of blue, went as
proudly away with one of gray and
the veteran from Louisiana who boast
ed the gray of the south sat with
swelling chest in his new uniform of
blue.

James H. Lansberry of st. Louis,
Mo, who enlisted in the Third Indiana
cavalry from Madison, Ind, recited to
his comrades the details of his cap
ture in the town of Gettysburg by
Confederates 80 years ago. Following
the skirmish Just outside of town
which marked the opening Of what
was to be a world-famed engagement,
he had been detailed to assist in car
rying a wounded officer to the old
seminary In Gettysburg. While in
town frantic women focked about him
and begged that he tell of the battle.
He remained to tell the story, with the
result that he had to spend several
days in following the Confederate
army as prisoner. After tramping
80 miles over rough country without
shoes he succeeded in escaping and
finally made his way back TO Gettys.

SMITH STORES DEMONSTRATION

Nothing seems to have quite as
good drawing power as free dinner
The smith Stores Co. of Sweet Spr-
ings announced "a free dinner for
Saturday and IL they later consulted
their purse they we're probably sorry
because every body was there and as
hungry as could be. There were
about a thousand people in from the
country and they crowded the store
nearly all day
The affair was given to demon
strate the American steel fence posts
and several good speakers were there
TO explain their merits. They we're
given good hearing and the posts
seem popular. Geo. w Schweich
and J. A. Mccall of Chicago did the
talking aud showed they we're on to
their job. They claim there posts
are almost indestructible by time and
the first cost is no more than that of
good wooden post. The Smith
stores are selling many OF them, as
well as the Rea Implement Co., here.
Tho editor took advantage OF the
large crowd and secured many re-
rewals. for which we extend thanks.

A POINTER ON
GLOVER

]. A. Gates was in from near Mt.
Leonard Thursday selling his crop OF
clover seed. lie called in to renew
and on being asked about his crops
said the drought had cut down his
corn crop considerably but that he
will have enough left to live on for
awhile yet.
As an illustration OF how TO make
money on clover he said he had Just
hulled 121 bushels of clover seed
from 25 acres OF his farm worth
sees. In the spring he first cut the
clover from this field and II made 80
tons worth sf6 a ton or s4s0 for
the first crop. Then the seed yield
ed s96s with the failing OF 8 tons
worth $40 a ton or 500, a total OF
81 sos from the 25 acres In one sea-
son. After deducting rent and ex-
penses there is still a good profit.
Mr.. Gates says clover must be
handled intelligently. The first cut
ting must be exactly at the time when
the second shoots are starting and
not week later as that would cut off
the new growing seeds. Then II must
be carefully threshed In his case
Sam Fuikerson hulled II with his new
separator.
