THE GIRL l LEFT BEHIND"
Camp Near 0oring Courthouse,
Army Of Northern Virginia,
noao4a Lo,. r 1000

Army of Northern Virginia,
December z, 1868.
Dearest NJ. A.-This leaves me well.
Hope you are the same.
Well, we are just back to our old
camp after a trip down the river Is
or 20 miles to see after "Mr. Yank."
They crossed the river in force, and
we had to throw up breastworks,
on a long creek called Mine Run.
We waited about a week for them to
rout US, but they thought best to move
out one night and go back to their
side of the river. Only a lot of she'll
ing and picket fighting, and we near
ly froze, as the weather was very
cold.
Well, my dear, there is still talk
of us being sent to Tuscaloosa, Ala,
and we do hope that we shall soon
be allowed to go up home, as it is
only SO miles. AS you know, we
could walk it in two days very easily.
Well, dear miss, | failed to get my
letter off last night, so will write
some this morning. It is so cold
you can see / cannot write much.
Maybe you can read my letter. If
you can't, / will read it for you when
/ come home.
We were lifted up a heap last night.
Col, O'Neal received letter from
our first colonel, w. r. Smith, who
is now in Congress, saying that he
was almost sure he would get us
transferred to Tuscaloosa, Ala, to
rest and recruit, as there is now less
than 400 Of us. We once numbered
$50. So l hope that we may soon
be on our way, but do not quit writ
ing, as we may not get to come, and
i do love to hear from YOU.
Well, goodbye, my dear. Do hope
to see you soon. / can tell you a
lot more than Ican write. So fare
well, dear.
As ever, yours in love,
S. w. FOWLER.

CONFEDERATE REUNION MAY
BE HELD IN MEMPHIS

Memphis may get the 1918 Confed-
crate reunion, inasmuch as Tulsa,
Okla, has thrown up the sponge and
declines to entertain the veterans next
summer, according to statement in
the Memphis News Scimitar Of Feb
ruary Is.
Secretary McAdoo has instructed
railroad officials throughout the
southern States to grant the usual
one-cent-a-mile rate for the reunion,
and Gen. George P. Harrison, Of Ope-
lika, Ala, commander-in-chief of the
Confederate veterans, is asking heads
of different Confederate organizations
what they think of the 1918 reunion
President Wilson and members Of
his cabinet are said to favor the re-
union.
The annual reunion of the veterans
was refused Saturday by the Chamber
Of Commerce the second time, when
that body reconsidered its first de-
cision and refused to alter its atti-
tude.
Congested railroad traffic, heavy
financial demands because of the war,
and inadequate housing facilities are
given as the reasons. The reconsid-
Grafton was made at the request Of
Nathan Bedford Forrest, manager Of
the reunion.
The last Confederate reunion held
in Memphis was June 8, 8 and 10,
1909. It was given out to have been
the greatest gathering of veterans
and other similar organizations that
ever got together in the south.
Official figures made public by rail-
roads showed that $4,000 people at
tended the Memphis reunion.

RULING ON ALASKA TAX
 QUESTION

In the absence of specific instruc- tions in the Alaska tax act of 1906 as to what constitutes case of salmon, a United States attorney in the ter ritory last January advised the Clerk of the Court that it was necessary to collect the 4-cent tax on each package regardless of quantity. Under this opinion it would have been necessary for canners packing halves to pay a double tax. The question was brought to the attention of the Department of Commerce by the Bureau of Fisher ies and the Association of Pacific Fisheries, and the solicitor of the de- partm ent rendered an opinion that a reasonable interpretation of the word "csse" would be meaning of the word in trade usage. This opinion has re- gently been sustained by the U. S. Attorney General, and transmitted to the IT. S. Attorneys in Alaska.

JUDGE AND MRS. SHOUT TO LEAVE
 KETCHIKAM

This city will be greatly the looser when one of her best families leaves on the city of Seattle, tomorrow. Judge and Mrs. Shoup, old Alaskan and residents of Ketchikan for the past three years, are planning to leave here permanently for Nevada, where they go to join their son, George J. Shoup, who is an extensive mining operator in that state and who is as- sociated with Clarence Berry, very successful old timer in the mining bus mess at Nome and Ophir Creek of the Council City district, Alaska. Judge Shoup will take charge of the com pany's legal affairs at the urgent re- quest from his son. It is to be re- gretted that Ketchikan must lose one of her ablest lawyer and most eloquent public speaker in the departure of Judge Shoup, while the Red Cross will loose her most devoted worker, Mrs. Shoup, has the unparalied record of having missed but one afternoon of the work days at the Red Cross room since, the work was started year Iago. She has given three days week regularly and her absence will be keenly felt, not only there but in the city social circle where she has been great favorite. Indeed their ab- sence will create a vacancy that can not soon be filled. Sincere good wishes follow them with the best wishes for good health and prosepri- | ty in their new home.
