I have been all the way from Nbrth Carolina to Texas, and if the world is as big every other way as it is this, it is a whopper; yet it is not so big after all, that go where you will, you will meet somebody that knows somebody that ybu know. These reflections were brought about the other night while sitting in the Central Hotel office, awaiting supper, by a gentleman looking me over pretty closely and finally saying: "Where are you from North Carolina? Ever been about Greensboro?" "Yes:" "Know the Moreheads Governor Morehead?" "Yes." "Well, upon my life, that is good. Why, I know them too. During the war I was with Sherman, and after the surrender I was a guard in front of Governor Morehead's house yes, sir, and I walked up and down in front of that house for three weeks guarding and protecting them, and I am not tell ing you any story, either, for I have a letter right here, which I will give you to read, a letter from his daughter, a Mrs. Walker, thanking me, and I would not take the best hundred dollars of any man's money for it. No, sir, I would not, and I have carried it in my pocket all of these long years; and at our soldiers' re-unions, when the old fellows are telling of what they did, I tell them of what I did, and I prove it by this letter that I protected people, instead of killing them." And then this old Federal and my self, an old Confederate, fell into rem iniscent moods, talking of old times and of war; we felt a real spirit of comradeship; we fought our . -battles o'er again in the most pleasant way, without the bitterness of defeated hopes on the one side, or of arrogant victory on the other. He has gone back to his Ohio home, and I may never see him again, but I trust that when the last tattoo is over and James Burson's name is called on a higher shore, he will answer loud and clear, "Here!" Grand Falls, Texas, New Era. Cenotaph to OH lies. Oak Ridge, N. C, March 25, '98. To the Teachers and Pupils of the Graded and Public Schools of Guil ford County: Greeting I am authorized by a committee representing the literary so cieties of Oak Ridge Institute to invite you to meet with the students of Oak Ridge Institute and the various high schools of Guilford county , on Friday, May 6th, 1898, for the purpose of par ticipating in the ceremonies attending the unveiling of a cenotaph to Gillies, the bugler boy of "Light.Horse Harry" Lee's legion. We hope to make this a gala day for the young people of th3 county. We feel that in honoring this young patriot all the boys Jand girls of the county should be with us. So far as we know no other boy of Revolutionary times has been similarly honored, and yet it is fit while we are erecting monuments to statesmen and generals that this young boy, who gave his life to his country and thus aided in gaining the freedom which we so abundantly enjoy, should be honored by the youths of historic old Guilford. The occasion falls at a time of year when a day's outing at the Guilford Battle ground will be heartily enjoyed. We hope to have every one of you grace the occasion. Very truly yours, Michael Schenck, Sec. Bugler Monument Com. Rifles Enough for a Big Army.

Havana, March 28 Reports this morning from 'election show official tickets of the autonomists and conser vative parties were voted throughout the island as previously arranged.
