ported to Washington d. c., where
they were kept on guard duty and
camped all during the cold winter
months. During that winter the men
slept in Sibley tents and were broken
into real war life in this respect.
There would be as many as 13 or IA
men sleeping in a single one of these
tents and Meridian Hill, the section
of the CITY where they were quartered
was thickly dotted with the tents.
In February 1862 they were loaded
on board a steamer and taken to For
tress Monroe, from which point the
peninsula campaign, which had been
planned during the winter by McClel-
Ian and his aides. was started. He
got into his first battle at Yorktown
on April II, 1862 and it lasted until
May a, when the rebels succeeded in
driving the Yank defenders out of the
town. Their next battle was at Will
liamsburg, Va. and here too they
were driven out. This battle lasted
only one dav and on May 5, they re-
treated to Fair Cakes and kept right
on retreatfng over the Chickahominy
river where they entrenched. They
waited here until the rebs got right
up close to them. They could hear
them coming for time, the infantry
in front of the artillery in the rear.
When the rebels were within a few
rods of the Yanks, the latter opened
fire and the way the boys cut loose
on them made the rascals beat 1T
mighty fast, The officers swore at
their men and called "Halt, Halt" time
and time again but it was too much
for the rebs and they went back and
thought the thing over carefully.
Their deliberation took some time
but they must have had the thing dop-
ed out about right for they came back
and with the aid of some clever flank
ing movements they were able to rout
| the Yanks again.
The next battle was staged mt
White Oak Ford, starting in en- June
&c and lasting through seven days at
which time the Yanks found them
selves back at Malvern Hill. From
there they went to Harrison's Land
ing, on the James River, then to New
port News. and to Suffolk, Va. THY
fought at Blackwater, Va, from Octc-
Der 81, to November 1852 and De-
cember IA found them badly battered
but still as eager as ever to fight for
the preservation Of the union, at
Kingston, N. c. on December 16 they
encountered the rebs in an attack en-
White Hall, which place the confed-
crates were occupying and the Union
army boys succeeded in cutting the
garrison off from the regular Confed-
crate forces and took the whole bunch

MANY AUTO|STS ARE
SLOW IN SECUR.
ING new LICENSES
CONDITIONS WORSE IN OTHER
SECTIONS OF STATE THAN
IN THIS COMMUNITY

Less than half the number of auto
mobile drivers in the state Of Mich
igan have made application for driv-
ers license, according to word sent
out by Sec. of State.
Police chiefs in many sections of
the state have notified Secretary of
State, Vaughn, that sufficient time
has elapsed for drivers to get their
licenses and that they are determined
to begin systematic campaign,
whereby they can ascertain whether
motorists are observing the law or
not.
This work has already begun and
many autoists have been stopped and
asked to produce their license. The
state police are also to be used in
this work.
Motor cycle "Cops" have been al
work in this community, and it is a
fact to be proud of that very few
breakers of the law have been found.

E. Bignell last Friday afternoon when
her fellow employees in The cotton

Correcting An Omission

In the advertisement for the White
Lilv flour which the Tebbel Milling
Co., of Smyrna ran in our last weeks
issue, we neglected to state that
White Lily flour was choice blended
flour, much improved over its former
excellent quality. We feel sure that
with the splendid reputation which
White Lily flour had and enjoyed be-
fore the war, that it will again be
received with delight by the many
hundreds of local housewives who
were deprived Of this excellent flour
