By this time I had my eyes on the pistols which, the Irishmen had left, think ing I would be that much to the gooa when the officer espied them and took them along with him. ' There was of course no sleep that night. About J o'clock some one whispered at my windawaylng, "Mishlef, "Mishter, hand me my pis tols" and upon" my Informing him that the officer had taken them away, he" asked his comrade "whether he should call on the officer for them," when his comrade replied, - "Not he will put you under arrest, better cap ture another pair, "first chance- you get." By morning they ' left, going towards Mocksville. , The next night another -body .of troops . arrived and like the other, like locusts, were all at once over the whole . town, and In every ' yard. r About mid-night there came to my' room ft soldier consider able under liquor- and upon seeing me, accosted with "Hello Brother."

We went down Into. my cellar whereupon 1 he asked me to feel his arms and body where he had concealed a lote . of bowie- knives, -Mating that he had cut the throats that day of many rebels In Salisbury (which in the light before us now was an" hallucination on his part), but he went on further to say that as "I had lectured he would brlngr me two horses which he had captured on the way." Later he brought me a gray horse and a bay mare, and to hide them away from the soldiers we backed them down into the- cellar. About two days thereafter a man from Third creek, (now Cleveland station) came te Statesvllle, hunting a gray harsj, and upon snowing mm the one I had got, he claimed it as his own and of course s i v jet him; have ; it, , The mare was with foal, : and about 10 days thereafter I drove her to-Char. lotto and back when she took a notion to die.

During that nlht while the s&ldlers were passing through the lot I heard one remark to his comrades, "Coys I smell liauor." They followed the smell until they came to the barrel. when they exclaimed: "Some one has knocked the head off the barrel, if I knew who it was I'd kill the In a minute. Here Is the barrel and it came out of this store (my neigh bor's store). Boys let. us : burn the store," and they set it on fire. . As soon as they lenft, I and the above mentioned slave went out-and asked such of the soldiers as were then in the store robbing it of. what the other left, permission to put out the fire which they gave us, and we thus saved the store, and perhaps the whole block,- -w... turinsr the . following morninar. about 11 o'clock, a squad of men came back and said they had orders to burn the newspaper office, - which they did. It was the office of The Iredell Express, edited by E. B. Drake & Son, then a strong secession paper, after the war a Republican paper. mis then was the last Stoneman raid through Statesvllle. , .

Whether it be for the protection of loved ones,;. . - or to insure your.ownomfortin old age and infirmity, investigation will demonstrate to you that the best and moat satisfactory Life Insurance you can procure is that afforded by the GREENSBORO LIFE'S INCOME INDEMNITY POLICY. "It pays Double Insurance in case of Accidental Death, and in the event of total and . permanent Disability or Incapacitv, the insured has the ontion of either taking a fully, paid up policy or col- lecting the face of the same in ten equal annual installments. ? Strong evidence of the superiority of the INCOME INDEMNITY POLICY is found in tho fact that more people in the Greensboro Life's territory are buving this form, of insurance than are buying the policy of any other companv. This condition of affairs enabled the Greensboro Life last year to make a net gain of insur- ance in force that exceeded the net gain of any other North Carolina company by more than $1,000,000.00.
