OLD CONFEDERATE PASSES
HIS 74th MILE POST

was "a years Of age May End and
was well remembered by my children.
On May 2, 1862, celebrated my birth
day at the battle Of Charlottesville
Virginia. Last Thursday evening
was sitting on the porch of my old
friend, j. M. Morris, at Pennington.
We were talking Of that dreadful bat
tie and agreed that more men were
killed in that battle than any other
at least our regiment lost more men.
We talked over the horrors of that
civil war to which we both gave four
of the best years Of our life. But
God has seen fit to spare us these
long years. Mr.. Morris is 70. He
was member of the famous Stone
wall brigade and carries minnie
ball in his left shoulder as a reminder
of the strife. May we be ready when
the final roll is called, and cannon or
musketry will be heard no more, is
the prayer of Thos. P. Fitz, Co. /, 9Th

FATHER AND DAUGHTER
MEET AFTER 26 YEARS

Last week Rev. Joel Adams of
Oran and his daughter, Mary, were
united after separation of 26 years
each believing the other dead. The
separation took place when the fam
lily moved to Missouri, leaving Mary
in school in Louisville, KY. There is
some mystery as to the separation,
but it seems that when the family
came to Missouri they did not locate
where they originally intended to, and
when the father wrote to inquire about
Mary he was informed that she had
died. Mary was also informed of the
death of her father. Recently Mary
visited sister and there learned the
whereabouts of her father.-B Benton

RARE COINCIDENCE

Our senior friend, Placid LaRose
celebrated the 88th anniversary of his
birth May 18th. Mr.. LaRose was
born on the aforesaid date, 1928, but
despite his advanced age he gets
about pretty lively, and daily convers-
es and jokes with his friends. Being
born in 1928, and now is 88 years old
puts four Fights in the course Of his
life time. His wife was born in 1882,
was married on the 18th day of
March at the age of 18, and died at
the age of GO. So you see that her
life's history also dealt with four
Fights. This is rare occurrence.
Review your life's history and see if
you can connect the figure 8 four
times with your birth, marriage or
your present age.-Perryville Sun.

MARKET VERY QUIET;
 PRICES ON DECLINE
General List Steady, at 3 to 10 Points Up-Old Crop is at a , to 6 Point Increase.-Mar- ket Opened Steady.

NewYork, Jan. 1.-The cotton market was very quiet today, with March contracts selling off from t2.57 to 12.5O and closing at 12.52. The general list closed steady at a net advance of to 10 points; active old crop deliveries were 3 to 6 points net higher.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of ' to 9 points in response to higher Liverpool cables. After sell ing at 12.79, May contracts eased off to 12.72 during the middle of the day, while July declined from 12.90 to 12.S5 and October from 12.79 to 12.74. There was also selling here for Wall street account and while Liverpool was q moderate buyer during the first hour. there was very little support around the ring.
 Closing prices showed rallies of 2 to 8 points from the lowest on cover ing. Bullsh reports from the domes- tic goods trade attracted some atten- tion. but evidently failed to stimulate demand and the interest of the trade appeared on the export situation on the probable effect of approaching new crop preparations on the attitude of remaining spot cotton holders in the South.
 Private cables reported small but strong market in Liverpool, owing to the absence of hedging and generally small offerings. The Liverpool buy ing here was supposed to be for the purpose of undoing straddles at the wider differences and notwithstand- ing the local setback, Liverpool held very little after the opening of the American markets.
 The market closed steady.
