Until a few months ago Mr. Searcy was unusually hale and hearty for one of his age. He was an ac tive church member for nearly 0 years and a magistrate for many years. In 1861 he volunteered as a Confederate soldier in Company F, of the 62nd Western North Caro lina Regiment. He was in the same company with Aden Rucker, Andiew Hyder, Mike Justice, later judge of this district. Captain Cowan and Colonel Love were his high officers. Taken Prisoner. ■ After the battle of Cumberland t Gap, Mr. Searcy was captured as a ! Federal prisoner and carried to Camp j Douglas in Chicago where he remain ed until the close of the War Be tween the States.

Often one day's 'rations was not sufficient for one I meal Many of the men joined the j working squad for it was easier to ! pass time and the workers got more to eat. • After the first six months the food 'supply of the Confederate prisoners jwas cut in half, due to the fact thai. | the South could only partly feed the Federal prisoners and this was 'done to retaliate. The sick men go., little attention. Of the 63 men im prisoned with Mr. Searcy of Com pany F, 31 were living when the War i closed. ! Mr. Searcy often discussed his prison days in Chicago and once stat ed that he had sat up with the dead and dying all night. They were al lowed no lights at night. They were ! not allowed to speak above a whis per after dark. One night foui men Inear Mr. Searcy's bunk were heard j talking by the Federal guards. After asking* several times, "who was talK : ing," there was no answer and the guards ordered every man to diess 'and be in line within 15 minutes If any man refused, he was to be ! shot. Seached at Intervals. Mr. Searcy stated some time ago, that if Lincoln had not been assas sinated he would have been released from prison 60 days earlier than he was for there was 60 days of mourn ing. When they were released from prison and ready to come home, they were given a free railroad ticket but no allowance for meals. Their pay was sll per month., The soldiers were searched at regular intervals to pie vent them buying their way out of prison from their guards, accoiding to Mr. Searcy. After Mr. Searcy was released from the prison in Chicago, he traveled three days and nights via rail with out any food. It took him three days to reach Baltimore, Md. The netx day he arrived in Charlotte an 1 found that he could not cross the Catawba River, as the Federal army had burned all the bridges. He walk ed to his home near Chimney Rock from Charlotte, after his long ride from Chicago, without much to eat, 5 glad to get to walk home. He enjoyed relating instances of his prison life in Chicago and always enjoyed attending the May 10 re unions here when his health would permit. Despite- his cruel treatment in the Federal Prison he urged the younger generation to hold no malice against the North, as the great strug gle was over and the people aie no a united. "He has crossed over the river to rest under the shade of the tree with the immortal followers of Lee and Jackson."

I'm 'proud to say that I heard lots of comment on my last talk. Sure 'made me feel good because I didn't know whether anyone was listening in or not. "I almost didn't get here this time, as .1 have been out on a field trip with the cow tester m the D. H,, I. A. of which I am a member. He certainly didn't ' for get the three principles on which the associations are founded — WEED, BREED, FEED. Here was his main talking point, and I think it's a good one; BREED for improvement of the herd, FEED for improvement of the individual. He left a sound warning with each member we visited DON'T DEPEND ON GRASS ALONE FOR FEED. "Do you think you could do a full day's work every day with nothing to eat but cabbage, or lettuce, or celery, without even a bit of bread? Then how do you expect your cow to do the work expected of her if she has nothing but grass? "Fresh green grass is mostly water and must have some help in producing milk. The cows should be broken in on the grass slowly and allowed to run on pas ture only a short time each day for the first few days, while the winter roughage is being reduced gradually, and while the grain feeding is being reduced to one pound of the following for each 4or 5 pounds of milk: ground coin, hominy, or barley, 300 pounds; ground oats, 100 pounds; wheat bran, 100 pounds; linseed meal, 25 pounds. "Now, don't get too anxious about the new grass, but break in on it gradually and keep up the proper amount of grain feed right on through the spring and sum mer. If you need any help on the subject just drop me a line, t>> XYL Box 420, New London, Wis consin. Well, you'll hear from me again soon. Station ( YFBL YOURS FOR BETTER LIVE STOCK, signing off.
