all gone to join the white robed
throng. Someone has said in sub
stance that every age has it's trials,
also its leaders. 1t is a good thing
that we are at peace with all ma
tions. Should a call come at this
time for 120 able bodied men from
Bristol, what would be left would
not be noticeable Somewhere in
our story we want to give the names
of the soldiers of other wars.
aIuttonburg Drum Corps
Similar organizations elsewhere
may properly be spelled with 4
small d, but not only Bristol folks
of the SOS and 90's, but Morgan
county folks of that time, will agree
with us that nothing short of the
biggest d in the case is sufficient
to come close to being adequate,
when we mention and you read our
humble writing of this aggregation.
You won't hear the music, but yOu
will see the performers. Let us
stop here to say that we are sure
that could such thing happen as
that Jim could come back, and
"Phebe, let us explain that after
the tragic death of jim the writer
went to the home to get the facts
in regard to not only his death, bu:
his life. When we asked for dates,
Mrs. Parmiter asked the late Flor
ence Mummey to get the family
Bible AS we read the family rec
ord we found Mrs. Parmiter's name
spelled as we have it above. When
we said to Florence, or rather ask
ed, "that isn't the way to spell
Phoebe, is it, Mrs. Parmiter heard
and said "that is the way my moth
er spelled it, and that is the way !
have always spelled it," When we
replied "then that is correct, you
Can Sp6ll youI OWH hdiiIS any way
you please and it is correct
So for that, and could they get
Perley, AIDA and Cleveland back
with the old drums, and announce
ment was made they were to APP
pear in the village, Judge James c.
Oglevee would adjourn court; DR..
j. NJ Pedicord would let his patients
suffer-but why name you folks,
you would all come. There wouldn't
be a building big enough, a shade
snacious enough, to accommodate
the crowd But who would care If
they did get sun burned? Jim was
peculiar. He always had cold feet
on everything, but the Democratic
party. At least he wore arctic
oyershoes when other folks were
suffering with the heat, with ordi-
nary shoe; On. Anyway he lived
longer than most men, and died Of
his own will and accord. But they
were all expert wielders of the
sticks, and with the Lindimores, j.
w. and r. E. Parmiter, and per-
haps some whom we do not think
OF now, to fill in, they were "the"
z TRACTION wherever they appeared
One place Jim never appeared, at
Republican rally. Neither love nor
cash would persuade him to help
the enemy. Always ready to help
with soldier gatherings or anything
his Democracy was a
sacred thing-rock ribbed and sill
yer coated. But it can't be, and we
will have to be satisfied with our
