PATHETIC MEETING ON
BRYCE'S CROSS ROADS

Judge John Y. Peete, of this city,
is in receipt Of a letter from Capt w.
A. Collier, Of Memphis, one Of the
few surviving officers Of Forests
cavalry, who is well known to most
Confederate soldiers and many Of the
older citizens Of Upton county.
The letter tells Of meeting be-
tween Capt. Collier and Mrs. c. C.
Crenshaw, for many years a resi-
dent of Mason, at Brice's Cross
Roads. We make the following ex-
tract from the letter:
I went down last week to the bat
tlefield of Bryce's Cross Roads and
saw many old comrades end friends.
Dick Harper and / went into the
battle of Bryce's Cross Roads to-
gether He, poor fellow, was killed.
/ never saw any member Of his fam
lily. On the 10th, on the battlefield
of Bryee's Cross Roads, not far from
where Dick fell, a beautiful old lady
approached me, and asked if was
Mr.. Armie Collier. She told me that
/ was a friend to her brother and
she wanted to speak to me and intro
duced herself as Mrs. Crenshaw, the
sister of Dick Harper. She had a
sweet and beautiful face.
This was a coincidence that ]
should meet for the first time the
sister of Dick Harper on the battle
field within a short distance of the
place where he fell 81 years ago
after his death. We naturally put
our arms around each other. while
tears rolled down our cheeks and
moistened the cheeks of all others
who beheld us. 1t was certainly
most peculiar and pathetic incident
Her husband, Lum Crenshaw, was
also member Of our company, who
S now dead ! only saw Mrs. Cren-
shaw for few minutes. She had a
sweet and beautiful face and left a
sweet impression on me.

A. H. GARLAND

The Sunday Commercial Appeal
published very interesting item
headed "Noble Careers which told
of the accomplishments of a man
born in Upton county, who, in in
fancy, moved with his family to
Arkansas. The town of Garland, in
this county. was named for this
mans father, who was physician.
We reproduce the following extract
from this article;
"Of it's modern statesmen, A. Fl.
Garland is CONSPICUOUS in the annals
of Arkansas. Born in Upton coun-
ty, Tennessee, his family removed to
Arkansas, where the father died
when the future leader was still
lad. This misfortune was repaired
bv the marriage Of his mother to
cultured gentleman, who educated
his step-children at Bardstown, KY,
thus laying the foundation for the
future eminence and usefulness of
one of them. Having been admitted
to the bar, young Garland practiced
his profession for a brief period in
the village Of Washington, but he
early became associated with Ebe-
nezer Cummins at Little Rock, whose
professional business was greater
than his waning physical powers
could handle, and to all of which
Garland fell heir when Cummins
soon thereafter sank into the grave.
while associated with Mr.. Cum
minis, whose legal reputation was nat
ional, Mr. Garland often had to APP
pear before the supreme court of
the United States, before which his
docket was said to have been greater
than any man of his age: and it was
under these circumstances that his
early fame as a lawyer was estab-
llshed upon a national basis by tine
famous case, ex parte Garland, which
dealt with the test-oath in the recon-
struction legislation Of the day. But
the young lawyer was not blind to
the destinations of political life.
Though a Union man, he voted in
convention to withdraw Arkansas
from the ancient association of
states and served in both houses of
the Confederate congress until the
close of the Civil war. In 1856 he
was elected to a seat in the United
States senate, but was refused adj
mission.
Later Mr.. Garland become gov,
ernor Of Arkansas, served with dis
tinction as its representative in the
senate and became attorney general
in President Cleveland's first cabinet.
Such a career of eminence and uses
fulness from such humble beginnings
is not only creditable to him who has
achieved it, but it is a bright ex-
ample to stimulate the youth of his
own and other states in the upward
path Of worthy ambition"
