LISTERINE TOOTH PASTE 25 c REMINISCENCES OF HON. FELIX WALKER (Continued From First Page) I »through their insinuations never ' prevail on me to do what I have since j done; but since that period my ! ccurse through life has been such ! nWely of inconsistencies. ! Could I write in tears of blood j the many failures, backslidings and j self indulgences of which I have i suffered myself to be the victim, I could not describe the heartfelt in quietudes I have experienced as the consequences; and in truth confess that sinning and repenting has fill- I ed up the measure of my days, which j I lament and deplore before Him ! that knows my heart, and regret with j the deepest sensibility that I was I not more faithful and watchful and j grace-given and not permitted the I old traitor without, combined with |my own traitorous within, to place lme on the dark mountains of un- I belief, and left me neither the plea ! snres of a saint or sinner; but thanks be to Him that opens and no man can shut, who did not entirely abandon and forsake me in that state of double rebellion, but gave me such intimations of His Grace as enabled me to maintain a habitual disposi tion to press forward through fears without and fightings within, and often times like a lost sheep wander ing on dangerous ground, has brought me back to the fold again, and by the grace of God I am what I am. I As this narrative of my passage through life may be read by my children while I am mingling with the dust I have trodden for 73 years, I have been more copious on the experimental part (for their encour agement) that if any of them should travel the same thorny road I solemn ly warn them of the danger of de-' i viating from the narrow path of j rectitude of virtue and religion j Not to wander on foreign and for bidden ground. The wages of sin is death, and be assured a man's sin will find him out. If they have been the chief of sin ners, so am I; if they are backslid ers, so have I been; if they are struggling and striving for victory over a corrupt heart and degenerate nature, so am I, at this time, and have a hope that through the broad righteousness of our Great Redeem j er's merits, I shall in the end arrive | on the shores of a happy immortality; and (oh! transporting throught) if the father and mother, sons and daughters, would be participants of that happy region, what a happy con- beyond expression to be found worthy. ith rapturous awe. cn Him to gaze, who taught the light for me, And shout and wonder at His Grace through all eterni ity." If this be read with the same in terest and feeling with which it is written, I trust it will ..not lose its effect. Having given a concise view of my times so far, I return to the narra tive as it relates to my further prog ress through life. I continued at my father's as home for about sixteen months un- Jer the pressure of a wounded and broken spirit, rather in a state of despondency, spending my time with out much effect. The war now raging in its utmost violence, I wa*. occasionally with the Whig or Lib erty party, though took no commis sions as I might have had. The coun ty of Rutherford was at this time stricken off from Tryon, and made a new county. I was appointed Clerk of Court in October 1779, which brought me into business, j After some time, my spirits be- I gan to revive and gradually ! emanci pate me from under my drooping sit 'i ation, and viewing myself as a young lv.an and must travel through life on some ground, thought it best t; i marry and become a citizen of the world once more. Accordingly, after some preliminary acquaintance, I was married to Isabella Henry on : the 10th of January, 1780, in the 27th year of my age and the 17th of hers, a daughter of William Hen ry, Esquire, of York, South Caro lina. Mr. Henry was a reputable cit izen, a plain, honest, reputable char acter; was a member of the Legis lature, and was one of the first set tlers in the frontiers of the Caro linas. He raised a reputable family of sons, all of whom took an active part in the Revolutionary War; of a decided military character, in vincible courage, feared no danger, THE FOREST CITY COURIER, thitrsPAV. AUGUST 7, 1930. Grandfather Henry (it is assert and always teady for the miost event ful enterprise. cd) was descended from a wealthy family in Ireland, the only son of his father, who possessed a large es tate. His mother dying young, his father married a second wife, and he not liking so well his next moth er, eloped from his father about 18 years of age, came to America and never returned to ask for his heredit ary inheritance. He settled in Au gusta county, in Virginia, there mar ried your grandmother Isabella Mc -Kown, of a good family. My ac quaintance with her enables me to say she was a woman of the first class in her time and her day. She died about the age of 56. Mr. Hen ry removed to Carolina about 75 or 80 years past, and resided in York District, South Carolina, for 65 years, and died at the advanced age of 102 years, a complete cen tury, which one in ten thousand nev er arrives ta„ Thus you have a trans ient account of both the paternal and maternal line of your ancestors, so far as my information extends; kut have something more to relate as j respects my further progress through this world, where woods and wild promiscuous shoot, and gardens tempting with forbidden fruit. I was highly gratified in my second marriage, happy in the woman of my choice, and believe I could not have selected a better had I traveled and traveled till this day. I resided at my father's and father-in-law's al ternatively for a while; no place a home, but in camp, the War being so severe and Tories all around. Charleston, S. C., was taken by the British the 12th of May, 1780, after which temporary victory and encouraged by the Tories they ad- I vanced up the country with the {greatest rapidity, overran the coun X; BSI M ; Delicious and Refreshing J jjjj Tune in tonight! 11 ft // "" jQ o |g goes on the air again.-^^Dehghtful.^-^Differ- music by the Coca-Cola thirty-one piece, all-string Dance Rice, leading sports feature writer, interviews another famous sports champion.——*- Broadcasting tonight and every Wednesday evening from NBC studios, New York, over coast to coast network.

Myself with many others were compelled to retreat ever the mountains to W atauga and Hoi stein in Tennesse for refuge. I took -my wife and property with me, ard had to take a circuitous route by the head of Yadkin River through the Flour Gap, by New River to the i head of Holstein down to Watauga | ; t7] Washington County, Tennessee, ! waiting there the events of the war. At length an army of volunteers ' from the Western waters, under the command of Cols. Campbell, Shelley (Shelby), Sevier and Cleveland, marched through the mountains, joined a few militia from North and South Carolina, under the command cf Col. Williams and CoL. Ham bright. A battle was fought on Kings Mountain Ist (7th) of October 3 780, where a complete victory was obtained by the Americans, being all militia, over the British Regulars, and Tories, command by Major Fer guson, who was shot from his horse, bravely exhorting his men. Seven bullets went through his body, it was gaid. He was a brave and meritor ious officer from Scotland, and it was well he was killed to prevent his loing more mischief. In February _(January) following, the battle of the "Cowpens" was fcught, and a complete victory gain, j ed by our troops commanded byGen. j Morgan over Col. Tarlton and legions of horse and regulars. These two victories were a decisive blow to the British arms in that section of the Country, and the same fatali ty pursued them throughout the re mainder of the War, until Cornwal lis was taken at little York in Vir ginia, which was the last battle fought between the Americans and British in the Revolutionary War. In April, 1781, I returned to Rutherford, built a cabin on my father's land at the mouth of Cane Creek. Betsy was born in September, 1782*.
