er, father and three sisters, all with
in ten days time and all of a very
malignant form of flu. He has two
sisters and a brother now in the hos
' pital with flu, but all are out of dan
ger.
Some young folks attended a fish
fry at Buckhorn last Saturday night
that came near being a fry without
the fish. It seems that furnishing the
fish had been left up to Mr. J. A. I
Auseley. After some heavy invest- J
ments in “fishing tackle” Avery had
corraled a good supply of fish by
the middle of the week, and placed
them in some fresh water pools near
by. Along came a fish fiend from Fu
quay that was just going to have
some fish whether or no. He gobbled
up Avery’s fish and made off with
them. Avery is a deputy sheriff down
here but he did not take time to
buckle on his artillery. ■He just beat
it after the fish. It. turned out that
the old fellow from Fuquay had just
watched Reverend Shannonhouse, of
Pittsboro, catch three or four fine
perch, a jack, a bream, and then a3-
poilnd chub within twenty feet of
where he had failed to get a nibble
and set ©ut to get some fish, with
the above result. The next time you
see Avery just ask him if he don’t
really and truly believe that some of
those fish did “come up the branch,” ;
just like the old Fuquay fellow said
they did. Those in attendance at the
fish .fry were Misses Lelia Johnson,
Sankie Perry and Mr. Monroe Bland,
of Pittsboro, Mr. Glen Saunders, of
Apex, and Miss Carrie Lee Cross, of
Corinth.
A Ford full of people from Buck
hom attended the Raleigh high school
play, “The Romani tc Age” at the
State Theater in Raleigh on last
Wednesday night. Gaston Rollins,
who formerly went to the Corinth
sdhool, played the part of Gentle
man Susan. Miss Frances Thomas,
daughter of Mrs. Clara Thomas,
whom most Chatham folks will re
member, played a leading part, that
would do credit to a professional.
Little Lewis Curry who has been a
visitor in this community wad a
favorite with the audience.
Seldom have we seen more talent
displayed by a group of high school
pupils anywhere. Clean and whole
some ,not a dull moment in it, and so
delightfully romantic.

I mining character and crippling
life’s chances.

wages of sin is death.’—Rom. 6:

W Unusual Record
Served as Volunteer and Hired
Anohter Man Too. Also Car
ried Negro Servant.
Editor of The Record: —In regard
to a piece in The Record about a
Confederate Soldfer, C. E. Hackney,
it should have been J. J. .Hackney,
Sr. (C. E. Hackney is my son.)
I, J. J. Hackney, was never draft
ed, but as you said, I hired Lewis
Lewis Phanonie at the commencement
of the war to go for me. I paid him
one thousand dollars in good money—
not that I was drafted but the Yan
kees said they could come down and
whip us by breakfast and go back
and I knowing Lewis Phanonie (an
Italian) would make a good soldier,
I hired and sent him and I think he
deserved his thousand dollars.
Later, I volunteered, thinking Lee
needed more help. I went to Peters
burg and joined Cox’s Company from
Kinston. I went thru the war ’till it
was all over. I filled all orders to the
best of my knowledge. Never was
captured or wounded. I came home in .
good health and will never regret go
ing, or paying Phanonie.
I carried my servant. Hanks Hack
ney, (colored) with me nrough the
CTitire' war and he stnc.c to me
through fhick and thin, and oas stay
ed within hearing distance ever since
’till last fall when he died with the
flu. He ever loved “Mars John.” He
was eighty-three years old when he
died—just one year older than I.
Lewis Phanonie stayed with me
and Mr. Wesley Griffin for years af
ter the war. He then went to Virginia
and married when he was about mid
dle age. He died a few years ago.
Mr. Peterson do you know whether
there was a son of a Confederate
soldier in our last Legislature or not?
If there was he must have voted
against us, for the. pension, bill was
killedr
I am well and happy and hearty
and love the Daughters of-the Confed
eracy—and love the Yankees, just
the same as I did the 9th of April,
1865. The readers, especialy the ones
that went, can imagine how much,
that is.
I failed to state that after I hired
and sent Phanonie I worked for the
government all the time till I went,
and spent the last dollar I had on it.
I' did home guard duty, made shoes,
■ and gave them to the soldiers, never
receiving pay for anything.
I spent much of my time hunting
deserters—Then
I mounted my horse with gun in hand,
Went to help settle the trouble m
the land; : ...
I stayed on duty day and night;
When the captain gave orders, I was
ready to fight.
I still have my saber and gun,
And if I’m needed I’m ready to run,
I'm not quite so spry or alert,
But you may be sure I would some*
one hurt
» 1
Now if you need fne just ring the
phone,
For most of thtt tune you’ll find met
at home;
For I’m ready from mom *till night
If I’m needed to help in the fight
Yours respectfully,
