He was placed by Col. Boyed
IN charge of the magazine at
Boyed's landing in Halifax coun-
ty, at which point he was en-
gagged about four months.
This old soldier was born in
Halifax county, Virginia, in the
year 1854. When he came to
Kentucky, he settled on RusseIl's
creek, Adair county, where he
was living when he made his
declaration.
John Hamilton aged 70 years,
made application under the acts
of 1915 and 1920. He enlisted
in 1777, in the county of Balti-
more, Maryland, under Capt.
John Smith. in the Third Mary
land regiment.
During said service he was in
many battles, to-wit, at the TAX
ing of Stony Point, at Gates De-
feat, the battles of Guilford, Eu-
taw. Camden, Cowpens and sew
eral other battles and skirmishes
against the common enemy. He
was appointed orderly sergeant
and held this position until he
was honorably discharged at
Annapolis, Maryland.
John Ross aged Il, applied for
pension under the same acts.
He served tours in the militia
against the Cherokee Indians
and British. Hethen in ITO en-
listed from the county of Bed
ford, Virginia, in the company
commanded by Capt. George
Lambert, in the 14th Virginia
regiment commanded by Col.
Charles Lewis. Gen. Weaden's
] Brigade, and continued in the
service for the full term. He
was in the battles of German
town, Stony Point, Brandywine,
and many other smaller engage
ments.

and a place described in Milton's
Paradise Lost.
Our soldier, however, puts it
mildly as words of considerable
warmth" mot cuss words. He
could not say his old General
would do thing of that kind!
We may add here that William
Hurt was very intimately con-
nected with the early affairs of
the county, as his descendants
have been since.
One of his sons, Young E.
Hurt, was sheriff of I've county,
during the unsettled &tnes of our
civil War. Two of the sons of
| Young E. Hurt, viz, R. M. and
]. W. Hurt. have held the same
position in the county. Another
of his sons, L. B. Hurt, has
served term as Master Com
missioner of the circuit court,
and a term as county clerk. His
youngest son, Judge Rollin Hurt,
of the Kentucky Court of APP
peals, also served two terms as
County Attorney.
James Irvine, another Revolu-
tionary soldier, has many de-
scendents here and elsewhere,
men of high standing and infu.
ence, He gives his age as 7f
years.
He entered the service from
Halifax county, Virginia, in May,
1776, in the Goth regiment Vir.
ginia line-under Capt. Rogers,
the regiment commanded by Col
Haynes Morgan.
! His first services were against
Lord Dunnmore, and in this ser
vice marched to a place called
Cherry Point at the mouth o.
the Potomac. He then marched
against the Cherokees to Lon,
Island of Holston, where the,
built a fort. After returnin,

ton, ''aud some words of consid-
cradle warmth ensued, after
which General Washington ad-
vanced, and made a second at
tack on the British
He says he then marched about
sometime in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, and then marched
to the White Plains in the State
of New York and encamped for
some tine-from there he march
ed to Bonbrook, New Jersey,
and took quarters for the winter.
In the spring of 1779 he was dis
charged at that place. During a
part of his service he was SER
geant. The incident of the
m ting of w a h n g.
ton and Lee referred to above is
mentioned by the historians of
the United States, but, it is not
certain that any account OF it is
more suggestive than that of
this old soldier when he says,
"And some words of consider
able warmth ensued." Ridpath,
in his history of the United
States, says of it:
Lee, who had opposed the
battle, and was not anxious for
victory, ordered his line to fall
back to stronger position, but
the troops mistook his order, and
began a retreat, the British
charging after them. Washing
ton met the fugitives, rallied
them, administered severe re.
buke to Lee, and ordered him tc
the rear. +"
We do not think we read it ii
any history-if not, it has come
to us as a tradition, possibly
through this soldier, or some o.
the others who were present OF
the occasion, for several of TIT
old pioneers of Adair were il

to a river in North Car
DINA, called Tear river. They
took several Tories and broke up
some of their little stands where
they were collected. After his
return from Tear river, he took
a tour in South Carolina under
the command of Col. Mason,
marched to a place called Stonow
in South Carolina, where he was
engaged in a battle with the
British. The regiment was CON-
manded by Col. Williamson, of
South Carolina. He called re-
treat and the whole regiment re-
treated. He was then discharg-
ed on the banks of the Santee
River.
The next spring he was called
out with his wagon and team by
the Quarter Master, and hauled
from different parts of Halifax
and Pittsylvania counties, pro-
visions to a place called Peytons-
burg. He also went from these
counties to Goochland and Am
herst counties and hauled pro-
visions of the army to Irvine's
old store just below the mouth
of Rockfsh and James river.
The provisions were received
there by Richard Harbour, Quar-
ter Master. He then went with
his wagon and team to Prince
Edward Court House, and took a
load of provision and clothing
for the army.
He never received one cent
for the use of his wagon and
team.
In September, 1871, he joined
Gen. Lawson's brigade, and wa;
marched to York, and there re-
manned in camp until the siege
commenced, and was in the siege
from beginning to end. He ther

time scouting after the enemy

years and two months.
He further states that while

saddle and bride, valued at Sl5(

RECRUIT HAD OWN METHOD
Showed He Could Do Some Shooting
When Sergeant Let Him Do it
as He Wanted.

Among batch of recruits sent up
from the recruiting office was a talls
lanky, tow-headed East Tennesseean.
whose habitat stuck out all over him.
He took to the training all right
enough until the company went to the
target range for rifle practice.
The sergeant in charge of the prac-
tice showed the recruits the regulation
position for firing-left elbow resting
against the side and all that. But to
his disappointment the Tennesseean
could not hit the target at a range of
100 yards. Finally in disgust the ser
geant blurted out:
"Say, Jim, / thought you told me
you used to go out In the mornings
and shoot the head off squirrel for
your breakfast, and now you can't even
hit that targetl'
To which came the drawing re-
Spouse: oval, sergeant, we all do do

The amused sergeant agreed and the
recruit proceeded to spread his legs
wide apart, extended his left arm to
its full length grasping the rifle near
the muzzle-and put ten shots through
the center of the bulls eye.
"Jim's performance with the rife
was spectacular" added the narrator,
"and put an abrupt end to the ser
geant's efforts to teach him how to
shoot. In after years he carried of
the highest shooting honors three

Grandma
Gregory's Squad
By Elise Waring

Copyright. 1917. Western Newspaper Union)
1t was Grandma Gregory's seven
tieth birthday and the ambitious, bust
ling old lady arose early and sat up
late to duly celebrate the occasion. All
day long her favorite niece, Alma Win
ston, was at her side and because they
loved Alma, half a dozen of her closest
chums brought presents to her aged
relative and gave Grandma Gregory
what she called the happiest, merriest
time of her whole life.
With eventide every pretty lass had
a, beau and Alma two of them. Ar
thur Gourley came first. He was a
good deal of fop and sometimes Alma
made fun of him. He was well mean
ing, however, and Alma could not help
but feel tender towards him when he
presented her grandmother with a
lovely bunch of American beauty
roses.
No one ever made fun of Bryce Al
den, however. He was one of the de-
pendable ones, rather too sedate, some
of the Eighty maids said, but when sys-
TEN and order came in as elements in
their pleasures or duties Bryce Alden
was the burden bearer. He was a
great favorite of Grandma Gregory.
On the present occasion he made her
his ardent friend for life.
