Ex Governor Bob Taylor, in
speaking about the dog law in
Tennessee, says that he is in fa
vor of every man who wants
them to have two dogs, a hound
pup, a billy goat and a pet coon
free from taxation; that child ron
and dogs are about the only
things a poor man can have in
this world, and there ought to
be no interference with his en
joyment of them. Bristol News.
Add to this rich collection of

whole gamut of noises that make
night a delirium of despair and
a lot of other nuisances append
ant and appurtenant to the dog.

Attackers (Jot Worsted.
A terrific fight occurred on the
2nd at Dahlia, Va., between J B
and Alexander Dunn on one side
and Geo. and John Rawlings on
the other. The latter two at
tacked J B Dunn and were doing
him up when Alex Dunn, armed
with pistol, ran to his brother's
aid. Geo. Rawlings turned to
moot bim and opened fire on him
only slightly wounding young
Dunn, who returning the fire
shot Rawlings noar the heart.
J B Dunn having but one to con
tend with, overcame his man
whose face he beat to a jelly.
Thus the attackers got decidedly
the worst of the affair.

COMPANY REUNION.
Co. H. 8th Regiment Meets at Esq., 0
E Ritchej's-27 Together Again Mr.
rat-rear Talks Field Scenes Excel
lent Elstory of Company Bead One
of the Best of Reunions.
At the invitation of Mr. G E
Ritchie 26 members of Co. H.
8th N. C, Regiment of Confed
erate soldiers met with him at his
home in No. 6 on Thursday, the
5th, together with a number of
relatives and friends.
Capt. Jonas Cook called the
meeting to order and thu Rev.
W R Ketch ie led in a devout re
union prayer. Uapt. Cook then
called the roll and the following
answered: Jonas Cook, George
E Kitchie, D H Ridenhour, Ruben
Fink, Matthias Ponninger, J R
Earnhardt, Dr. P A Barrier,
Jno. A Barrier, A G Bost, Geo.
W Blackwelder, Wm. H Dry, M

Patterson, J L Peck, M C Riue-
hardt, E Monroe Shoe, Alexan
der Shoe, Jas. M Sehorn, Alex
ander Safrit, Jno. M Safrit and
W A Trout man.
Dinner was then announced
and the host led his guests to a
table in a shady spot in the yard
where 32 were seated to partake
of a typical rural dinner, and
this needs no modification to
those who have once enjoyed
such dinners. There was every
variety produced about a good
agricultural home, Including the
dainties of the cuisine art and,
though there were 80 in all that
partook of the feast there was
an abundance left when all had
eaten to the fill.-
After dinner a ' social hour
w?.s spent by groups in jolly
chatting. The meeting was again
called to order and Mr. H S
Puryear addressed the gathering
which consisted of Veterans and
their wives and many of the
younger generation who sat and
listened and strained their mental
functions to enter into sympathy
with the emotions that bedewed
some of the time-beaten faces of
the participants of the struggles
he depicted. He said in sub
stance : .
It is no easy task to address
worthily the men that made the
history and the glory of a Con
federate soldier. He could not
refuse to respond, though, to the
man who here gathered his com
rades to enjoy his hospitalily.
He reminded the men of the his
tory made by the gallant 8th
regiment so marked on the days
in which he was aid to Gen.
Clingman, its detachment to Ply
mouth, intending to capture
Newborn, and its performances
at Drewry's Bluff, the most
heroic, he thinks, that the world
ever saw. The men were halted
undor fire, the line was re-formed
and the charge resumed against
the Pennsylvania Bucktails, with
repealing rines, and they were
driven and Butler was defeated
He told a story of a young officer
so charmingly gallant, who had
just captured a colonel and, while
tolling the speaker, was pierced
by two balls and fell dead at his
foot.
He retraced the crossing of
the James river to meet Grant as
he approachod Richmond, the
furnace of tiory, shot and shell
met on a day w en others less
gallant allowed the enemy to get
into the rear, placing the 8th in
most critical position, through
which she came out with the
most horoio record.
He told the story of one Fed
eral color bearer who would not
break, but stood on the field and
wavod his colors till the line
would return, only to break and
leave him again. They could not
hit that man. He told of Lieut.
Holt, who was shot. Men said
ho was killed but as he rallied he
exclaimed, "No, I'll be d d if I
am." He was greoted with a
shout and there was new inspi
ration in the ranks.
Wise's Virginia troops gave
way in front of Petersburg and
made a double task on Cling
man's Brigade, by whose gal
lantry alone Petersburg was
saved. This the Petersburg pa
por admitted.
He told of a gallant boy going
to his father on the line, who
was suet through on in otn oi
June, 1804, a most pathetic story.
At Fort Hairison the troops
marched to an impregnable posi
tion with all the gallantry that
could be displayed on an easy
task. It was a memorable dis
play of true courage.
He doubted whether there was
a regimont in the service that
was called on to do what the 8th
regiment was and did it. Others
might have done those deeds but
the 8th did do them.
He said he had talked of
Clingman 's Brigade, of the 8th!
regiment, but this is but a noble
part of the Confederate struggle,
the climax of soldiery in the
world's history.
The south fought not for
northern territory or northern
blood, but for what she thought
to be her right, to be let alone.
We thought we lost but we
did not. We came home to find
heroic women not crushed but
strong and hopeful, maintaining
all the heroism of victorious sol
diers on which to bring victory
by a different route from that
which we had hoped. The south
built its great industrial triumphs
upon the results of that war.
Slavery would now have been a
crushing incubus. We were dis
couraged, defeated, depressed
but not conquered. It was vic
tory above our highest hopes
and our most sanguine expecta
tions. At the close of Mr. Puryear's
speech Capt. Cook offered the
iollowing resolution which was
unanimously adopted by a rising
vote.
"Resolved, by the survivors of
Co. H., 8th Regiment N. C. State
troops, now present, that Lieut.
Geo. E Ritchie is hereby ten
dered our sincere thanks for the
splendid dinner and the very
hospitable entertainment given
to us by him this day and that
we now freely torgive him Tor
urging us to go into many un
pleasant places."
By request Capt, Cook, then
read the history of the company
beginning with its formation
and tracing it through its major
and minor engagements and
enumerating the causalities of
every engagement, the captures
and recaptures of men, as much
as twice in a single day, and the
deaths by disease, in hospital, at
home or in prison. He said he
hoped to get some parts perfect
ed yet, but it was more complete
than we thought it possible to
get up at this late day. The roll
shows 158 members of the com
pany of whom 62 are believed to
be living.
At the close of his reading he
called on the host for a speech
Mr. Ritchie confined himself to
a few grateful acknowledge
ments to his comrades for treat
ing his invitation so courteously
He was glad to have them with
him and felt it a privilege and
an honor to have them under
his roof and around his board.
He closed with repeating his
sincere thanks for their presence.
It was the expressed desire to
have these reunions perpetuated
and a committee was appointed
for the purpose consisting of G
E Ritchie, J L Peck and J H
Moose to provide for the re
union next year.
The Rev. Mr. Ketchie then
closed the meeting with the long
metre doxology and benediction.
With tearful eyes with some
and hearts of eladness with all
for the comforts of the day there
was general hand shaking and
tender partings, all voting it one
of the best of all veteran re
unions.
