husband took. "I, w. H. FELTON,, of
the county of Jones, and state OF
Georgia, do swear that the above
is true statement of all the pork
produced or slaughtered by me, with
in the year, March, 1854, ending
March l, 1865"
The poor man killed some meat
before he left Barlow county, On
two hours notice, and he had to
swear to that pork in this estimate,
and the Yanks got nearly all of
that, as we were refugeeing with
wagons ard teams, and had to carry
along something like thirty colored
children with their mothers. They
were week getting to our refugee
shack in Jones county,. I hurried
then to be ready for them, and the
tears rolled down my cheeks to see
that caravan drive into the yard,
dirty, hungry, bewildered and help
less, along with ourselves.
My! My! What time it was to
be sure! I found this old tax re-
cetpt on Bacon tax yesterday, in
culling over a mass of old letters.
found, also, how the Confederates
surrendered in Cherokee, Ca, which
surrender took place at Kingston,
twelve miles from my home at this
time.
I am hoping to tell the country
home readers about that surrender
in a short time. 1 must add that
Mr.. Ross, the tax assessor of ba-
coz, had to swear also that he re-
ceived the sixty pounds of bacon
from my husband on the eleventh
day of March, 1865. He had to ap
pear at headquarters with the tax
in kind. Within four or five weeks
Georgia was surrendered to General
Wilson, at Macon. What went with
the taxed bacon this depenent sayeth
not
was told that a carload of sol.
diers' clothes (not yet distributed),
was captured by Wilson in or near
Macon, and the car door when open
ed, was surrounded by negroes that
had followed General Wilson from
Columbus, and this carload of sol.
dlcrs' uniforms were tossed to the
ground, and they scrambled for
them like shoats after corn at a
crib door.
On the back of this bacon tax re.
ceipt are the printed words:
Form No. obstinate No. ITO.
"Tax in kind.
DR.. w. H. FELTON,.
18th day of March, 1865"
1t is evident that this receipt was
dropped by mistake, with the tax
receipts on our wagons and mules
and slave property, etc. Mr.. Ross
had handful.
1t is a venerable document to
make a late appearance after being
overlooked for fifty-seven long
years.
