Will you allow a stranger a short space in your valua l ie paper to call the attention of the old North Carolina Confederate Sol dier to the acts of one of their old comrades in arms, as deserving of the highest commendation, and facts which seems to be known to but few of 'those who carried muskets. The name of this com rade is Col. W. F. Beaslev, of Plymouth, N. C. The record in the war Department at Washing ton, D. C, show him fo have been the youngest Colonel in the Con federate service. But it is not my desire toHell of his gallantry on the field of battle. I wish to tell my old comrades of the days which tried men's souls, of his love and sacfifie made for them since the days of 1865. He was the first man in North Carolina who advocated the erection, or procuring of an home for the old North Carolina soldieV. It seem one great desire of his heart that these warworn and battered heroes who had for four long and tryiny years, stood as a rock be twMnn fVipir Tnve State and its con stantly increasing and powerful t-npj flhm.ld hp cared for. wher ever he went and with whatever company ;he was thrown, he would advocate theDroviding for them. He made numerous sacr fices and' spent of his limited means freely, hoping that his heat's desire might be accom plished and his old comrades safely,, housed. Years passed, and at last he saw a home pro vided for them. But his efforts in their behalf did not end. He said, that the "Home" of itself -was' not sufficient,, and that to make it easier for them as they ;wnt down the decline of life, that the great State which they had served so faithfully, ought to give, them a pension. He at once beganto work to that end. And after strenuous efforts succeeded in getting a bill through the Legislature. And for the pension which they now have, they are ir a great measure indebted to his great warm-hearted love for his old comrades in arms. I fear the o'd soldiers of North Carolina are not aware of these facta I am an old Confederate sold ier. Know them to be true. It is known by the people of North Carolina and especially by the old Worth Carolina soldiers, that the mother of Colonel Beasley, not ofily sent her son to front to bat tle" for her dear old State, but she was among the first (if not the first woman) in North Carolina to go to the front as a nurse, leav ing an elegant and comfortable home and going to the front and devoting her time and attention to those who espoused the cause of her loved Southland, and this, too, without any remuneration. Do they honor her? This noble woman deserves to have;1 a mar- ' blfc .-shaft erected to her memory ?hich would reach the clouds. Col. Beasley has never asked the people of North Carolina for v anything himself, whatever he has asked for has been for the ..soldiers or for the orphans, of ;Horth Carolina. I would hot .(even if I could) have any of any old comrades fail to give honor 1 j&V 5 . -Report of the-condition'! .; - V; . .. The Washington County Bank at Flyinonth, in ...the State o!.

I, as an old soldier, extend to them my sincere thanks. They have done, and we are doing, a noble work. While they deserve honor and thanks, do not we old soldiers of North Carolina owe more to Col. W. F. 'Beaslev than to any of those who have been, or are con nected with the North Carolina Soldiers' Home? I believe that every bid soldier who reads this article will say, "Yes, Colonel Beasley deserves most honor, and that we as North- Carolina soldiers, will give honor to whom honor is due.
