' I AFTER MANY YEARS. Milton Childress Returns to Brad ley County to See his Mother. In 18G1, the breaking out of the civil war, a youth, age 18 years, enlisted in the army in Bradley county and under Lieu tenant "Buck" McKinney, went to Tennessee where he joined Company 1, Second Arkansas, under Capt. Meek. He contin ued in the army until the close of the war, and at the surrender was in North Carolina, where he I married and settled down and is at present living near Smithfield that state and has a wife and seven children. The youth spoken of above is Milton J. Childress, now a man j of (52 years of age. When he went to war he left behind him in this county a mother and ? other relatives. Thursday night of last week Milton Childress ar rived iu Warren without money, ! a stranger, knowing not a soul, j nor to whom to apply for infor mation as to his people, nor j where to find lodging for the night. In this dilemma he ran across H. C. Hutchinson, the j hostler at the depot, who took ; him to his home and made him . I welcome. Late the next day he came up I town and found Wall Clanton of Ingalls, a first cousin, who in j formed him that his old mother, i Mrs. Jane Childress, age over 80 years was still living, that she was a near neighbor of his (Clanton's) and that he would return home the following day and take him (Childress) to see his old mother. In conversation with Mr. Chil dress he told the writer in sub stance the following: "I am now living near Smithfield in North Carolina, down near the coast, where 1 have a wife and seven children. 1 have no money and our crop this year is almost a complete failure. "I left here the first year of war a mere boy and have no education. At Chickamauga I was shot through the right hip, the bone was badly fractured | and 1 was trying to crawl off the! battlefield wheu Billy Mann (now living in this county) and one or two other comrades came aloug and carried me to the hospital. "After I recovered from my wounds 1 went back into the ser vice, was captured once, held 18 days and then exchanged and re mained in the service until we surrendered under Gen. Joe Johnston. I then settled down and married and have never been able to come back until now. "I have sent several letters back here to learn whether or not my mother was still living, but could never get an answer to any of my letters. A few weeks ago I decided to strike out for Bradley county and come afoot if I could get here in no other way. I had no money and my friends told me I could not make :?- u.,4. i i i... It, Ulit JL BfllU 1 WU.B ^Ulllg to rnuke the effort. "I applied to the sheriff of my county who gave me a letter to Gov. Glenn, telling him my pur pose. I went to lialeigh and saw Gdv. Glenn. He read the letter! and wrote on it, 'If you can pass this old ex-Confederate over your lines 1 will guarantee that no grand jury will indict you for issuing a free pass, and he told me to take it to a railroad man, but 1 found he was not in the city and 1 had to wait over a week in lialeigh. And when 1 presented my letter he gave me a pass to Greenville, Miss. "In MississipDi I found some relatives with whom I had stay ed while w ounded during the war, and spent a few days with them and came on here. "Since arriving here 1 learn that my old mother is still alive, (Tears were in the old man's eyes and his voice grew husky at this point in his narrative) and T seems that I can hardl v wan uu til tomorrow to he . ft ro see h"r. I have come 1 3(H) miles t<? a-e my old mother. I can't help hut feel that I have treated her dirtv and 1 am so thankful that 1 will h? permitted to see her again And I hoe our meeting will not, excite or but ihtt. Ail ui these' I long years I have been away does not change my feelings for her. I will stay here for a few weeks and then will return home." Mr. Childress is a spry and well preserved man for his age and he asserts that after making up his mind to come be wonld have walked every foot of the distance rather than to have given out the trip. So soon as Wall Clan ton found him out he took charge of him and made him his guest at the Shanks boarding house until they left Saturday forenoon for Ingalls. The matter of break ing the joyous news to the old mother was talked over and it was decided to leave this delicate task to Wall.
