store of Robert Bream and asked for
any old kind of bottle that was
good and clean into which he could
get some of the water out of the
spring across the road to take home
to friend of his and then related
this story:
William NJ. Arnall of Towson,
Maryland, was a member of Jones'
brigade of cavalry, the rear guard
OF Lees entire army, and reached
Cashtown while the second days
battle was being fought at Gettys-
burg. The man had marched for
miles across the mountains and when
they reached Cashtown were greatly
rejuvenated by drinking the water
from the cool sparkling spring. After
a few hours rest the march was con-
tinued to Fairfield, where Jones bri-
gade met and defeated tho x Sixth
United States Regulars in a hand to
hand conflict.
This old confederate veteran is a
great friend of mine, and upon learn
ing that L was going to Chambers
burg to visit my mother and know
ing that l would pass the famous
Cashtown spring he asked me to
bring back a bottle of water for
him. Throughout all these years
Arnall has never forgotten the drink
he took from that spring in the
month of July, 1853"
Mr.. Bream furnished the bottle and
after getting the water the stranger
departed. several days later Mr..
Bream received letter from the tour
ist stating that he had given the
water to the confederate veteran, who
drank it eagerly and then said: IT'S
still mighty fine water, but 1t doesn't
taste as good as 1t did Sc years ago."

A letter from California conveys

The Tyrone Chamber of Commerce
has commended that the vacant plot
near the P. R r. Station be converted
into a memorial for the soldiers and
sailors of Tyrone who went forth to
the war. AS almost every man prom
inent in Tyrone Is a member of the
Chamber of Commerce it Is assumed
they speak for the people and town.
This will be an ideal spot, properly
fitted up. 1t has long been an eye
sore, and being at the entrance of the
town, 1t has called forth anything
but compliments for Tyrone from
strangers.
Tyrone BARRIERS are having a squab-
Bile all their own. All the shops are
unionized but two. OF these one is
a small one in the outlying district.
The other is probably the largest
and most important shop in Tyrone,
and almost all measures of a reason
able and orderly nature are being
done by the unionists to convert 1t
to a union shop. The fight is intendi-
fed by the fact that the proprietor
years ago was a union man.
