WEEK Successor -to -tlxe Index VOL 1-NOl- 50 GREENVILLE, ,V. C- JANUARY 3, 1896- 25 CIS- A. YSAS KIN G-'S JOTTINSS. In the events of war the Irish National League has offer ed Uncle Sam 100,000 discip lined soldiers, the Russian Na tional Society 50,000 more, with other adopted societies to be heard from. There's a jnv viousness about tlrs that will give way to running qualities when the rub comes. Joseph Farrag itt of Green ville, N H, has been married live times and up to Christmas was the father of twenty five children, when on that day his fifth wife presented him an ad ditional pair of twin daughters. His chief cause for joy oyer such presents, was that it was not triplets. Mrs Katy Green, of Kansas City, twice married to the same from whom she linnally separ ated is now suing P H Soden of that city for 20, 000 for breach of promise, because he married another woman.

If there's anything in a name it will beheard from. Cincinnati consumes, per cap ita, eighty gallons of beer rn?r year ; St Louis ninety three ; Milwaukee one hundred and twj. Now let Chicago be heard from. A Republican preacher, of Maryland, who voted for Cleve land, is now giving him fits from the pulpit. Repentence can sometimes come too late. Mr s Rockefeller's income is estimated to be 27,000 daily. And 'without even running a local paper IN NORTHERN WAR PRISON THE CRUELTY OF 0XE BRUTE BRADY Mr. Albert Stacey Caison Tells of the I Horrors or Prison Life at Fort Dela ware, Point Lookout and Camp ChaseA Death Rate of 30 Per Day. PART I Th following graphic story of the lite in Northern prisons during the war. 13 Irom the pen of Mr Al bert Stacey Caison. a native of Fav- etteville, but now ot Jefferson City, Mo. It was written while he was a resident of Lenoir, from which place he went into the army. In the Century Magazine for March, 1801, there is a touching ac count ot prison life at Johnson's Island, ami the writer in speaking of his short stay at Point Lookout after his release says : "Thinking we had exhausted the capacity of prison life for harm, we were little prepared for the sight which met our eyes, as we entered this pi ace, but seeing these unfortunates we felt that we stood in the presence of men who had touched depths of suffering that wo had not reached. "All along the route we wen fearful that some evil j nance should turn us back again to the old life but that fear btco ne secondary to the dread lest we should call a per manent halt atthis point, and wo drew a long breath of relief when we marched out of this place." I was one of "these unfortunates," and, strange to say, survived seven teen months of the honors we wit nessed there, and neither time nor circumstance can ever efface the re collection of what I sullered. Like all Southern boys, I believed that the war would b brief out glo iius, and when the call came for Volunteers, I was ono of the first to respond; and I cannot desciibe my teelitig ot disappointment and cha grin when my father himself a volunteer told me that I must not join the army but must continue at school, my fear no v being tl.a the war would end before I could have any share in it. However, my enthusiasm did not cool in the least, a. id I found some consolation in drilling a company ot my school males, and we wero practicing to some purpose. When I did go into the army I joined Company I. Twenty sixth North Carolina Regiment, and was as proud and happy as possible when I put on soldiers' clothes shouldered my gun ami marched away to share the danger and the gloiy of this courageous band. But as I am to tell of my prison life I must pass over others vents in camp and field, and commence with the battle of Gettysburg, where all active service for my beloved South came to a bitter end. Well do I re member the first shell that burst in our ranks that first day We were still in the road, and our boys wavered just a little, when our gallant colonel.
