A HISTORIC CON-
FEDERATE FLAG,

The Confederate flag carried here
last Monday by Mr.. Geo. W. Now
lin, of Greenfield, was made by
Miss Jordon of Murfreesboro and
presented to the Thirty.frst Ten.
nessee regiment on Dec. II, 1862,
by Miss Jordon. 1t saw service in
all the battles at Murfreesboro,
Chickamauga, Mission Ridge and
on the five months seige to At
lanta, Jonesboro, Franklin and
Nashville. 1t was carried by En-
sign Belew until Dec. II, 1854,
when he was captured. Then he
stripped the flag from the staff and
concealed it between the lining of
his coat and carried it with him to
prison at Camp Chase, Ohio, keep.
ing 1t concealed until he was re-
leased from prison in July, 1866.
He then carried it to his home in
Carroll county, leaving it with a
Union lady, who used it as a
scarecrow. When Mr.. Nowlin
earned for what purpose the flag
was being used he went to get it,
Below giving it to him with the
understanding that it is to be buri-
I'd with Mr.. Nowlin. 1t is an
interesting relic of the bloody con-
1ict, and one friend Nowlin is just
y proud Of. Let US hope that it
nay be many, many years before
he flag will pass from sight.

VICIOUS TURTLE
\ ATTACKS CHILD.

The three-Year-old daughter O
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Fuller, neal
Ralston, was attacked by 8
vicious mud-turtle on Monday
morning and before her father
could reach the child she had
received several ugly wounds
about the hands, feet and legs.
Mr.. Fuller came in from the
field at about II o'clock pre-
paratory to getting ready to come
to Dresden. He was in the lot
currying his horse when the child
came to the gate and told him
the mail had cone. She crawled
underneath the yard gate and was
in the lot. Mr.. Fuller heard her
scream, but paid but little at
tention to it, as she frequently
screams when at play, but when
she screamed a second time he
dropped everything and ran to
her, to his horror finding a large
mud-turtle, about the size of a
mans hat, eating at the child's
feet and legs. The little one was
carried to the house, where it
was found she had received six
or seven ugly bites about the
knuckles of the hands, on the
legs and feet. Mrs. Fuller was
almost Frustrated, but Mr.. Fuller
assured her the child was not
seriously injured. As soon as
the child's wounds were hastily
dressed, Mr.. Fuller proceeded to
attend to the vile creature, which
be did by chopping it into small
pieces.
Mr.. Fuller thinks that when
he turtle first bit the child she
ell upon the ground and she thus
gave the turtle an opportunity of

Death of Mrs. Roffe.

Mrs. "Dink," relict of the late
John Roffe, who died a number
of years ago, died Friday night al
her home in Martin, opposite the
Methodist church, following a
long illness incident to the in
firmities of advanced age. She
was about sixty-fve years of age.
Mrs. Rofe had been a member of
the Methodist church for many
years. She was indeed a good
woman, held in the very highest
esteem by a large circle Of
acquaintance. More than twenty.
three years ago we boarded with
Mrs. Roffe, and found her an
ideal woman kind, considerable, a
model housekeeper and a christian
woman whom to know was to
admire. One daughter, Miss En-.
ma, who is sad and lonely, and
to whom the sympathy Of many
friends is extended in this her
sad hour. The remains were
brought to Dresden Saturday
afternoon, after services at the
Methodist church by Revs. A. E.
Scott and D. G. Johnson, and
laid to rest. When Mrs. Roffe
was married the ceremony was
performed by Brother Johnson,
hen paster of the Methodist
church in Dresden, and it was
fitting and appropriate that he be
lsked to assist in conducting her
uneral on last Saturday.

biting her legs. 1t is probable
that the turtle was a female with
a brood Of young or a nest Of
eggs, and that the child, upon
seeing it attempted to pick it up.
Anyhow, it was a very narrow
escape, as it would have taken
but short while for the vile
thing to have devoured the small
child.

That success, or failure, content

to be the idea of John Donnelly of

Commissioner of Agriculture Flint.
He says:
.Farming is the biggest business in

The Opportunities.
These consist of naturally fertile
soil, good market and other favorable
conditions. My observations lead me
to suggest that the farmers through
out the state can bring about these
improvements in their business and
materially increase their profits by
igving more thought and attention to
