REC0L LECTIONS OF WAR TIMES
By G. W. Shaver

These Dutch soldiers during the
two nights they stayed here fed
away all the horse feed they could
find, and then cursed because
there was not more to feed. They
did not stop at using all the horse
feed, but went into the meat houses
and chicken rOosts and took all the
meat, meal, flour, chickens and
everything else they could find to
eat. OF course they did not offer or
propose to pay for anything. Those
that stayed at family residences re-
quired the women to furnish the
provisions and cook their meals for
them without either pay or thanks
However, ii must be said that Bill
Padeett and u. j. Douthitt, although
they said they had come home to
stay, were forced to beat retreat
with their friends and protectors
and get out Of Dixie Land.
Robert Phillips, who lived some
eight miles northwest of here on
the Salem road, had a wife and
four or five daughters at home
AS these soldiers came by his house
on their way to Batesville a negro
brute went into the house where bis
wife and daughters were and abused
and insulted them. Mr.. Phillips
was powerless, and could not de-
fend his family at such odds. How
ever, he made inquiry Of another
negro and learned the name Of the
negro who had insulted his family,
and on the return of the soldiers
from Batesville this same negro had
his feet 80 badly frost bitten that
his comrades had to leave him in
this town. He was unable to walk
and was quartered with our negroes.
AS the soldiers passed back by Mr..
Phillips house on their retreat, Mr..
Phillips not seeing this negro with
them, made inquiry what had be-
come of him. He was told that his
feet were so badly frozen that he
had to be left at Evening Shade
with the Shaver negroes. The next
day Mr.. Phillips came to town and
into our house. He asked about the
negro, and was told that he
was in a negro cabin. He said he
I wanted to see him and made for the
cabin. Soon he came out and went
to peach tree from which he cut
a limb six feet long containing four
or five prones, and then knew
something was going to happen Hc
literally wore that limb out on that
