THE MONUMENT TO GILLIES
The Bugler Boy of Light Horse
Harry Lee's Legion.
.
UNVEILED AT BATTLE GROUND.
A Beautiful Poem Written By Mrs.
E. O. Hundley, of Greensboro.
Picture of nonument.
Gillies, first name not recorded in
any history, was killed by Tarleton's
dragoons near Oak Ridge, on the
morning of Feb. 12th, .1781, during
Greene's famous retreat to the north
side of Dan river. He was with a
scouting party; but had just been dis
mounted and made to exchange horses
with the guide and had been ordered
to the rear, with information for the
Colonel. The guide and others, who
had gone forward and .met the enemy
and being outnumbered dashed down
the road. The dragoons o- ertook the
bugler, who was left in the race owing
to the country-man's inferior horse,
and killed him with their sabers. The
Americans, now re-enforced, rushed
to his rescue; but too late to save him.
They killed eighteen of the dragoons
in the fight and captured the captain.
The Literary Societies of Oak Ridge
Institute have erected this cenotaph to
the memory of the bugler. It cost
them about $250.00. The bronze tablet
GILLIES MONUMENT.
is very beautiful. At the top is the
figure of the bugler, in the uniform of
Lee's Legion, superbly mounted. The
following is the inscription:
GILLIES.
'Light Horse Harry" Lee's Bugler.
Dulce et decorumest pro patria mori.
Erected by the Literary Societies and
Alumni of Oak Ridge Institute, May
6th, 1898, to the memory of the gal
lant Gillies, who fell under the
swords of Tarleton's dragoons near
Oak Ridge, N. C, Feb. 12th, 1781;
a noble sacrifice to his own gener
osity and for his country's free
dom. The ceremonies attending the unveil
ing of the beautiful and fitting monu
ment to the brave Gillies at the Bat
tle Ground today were impressive and
inspiring. The clouds of the early
morn were scattered ere the sun had
reached its zenith and a large crowd
were present to witness the unveiling.
The High Point band, in full uniform,
discoursed inspiring airs, the colors
of the two female colleges of Greens
boro and the stars and stripes flut
tered in the balmy springtime breeze,
and patriotism was at full tide.
The speakers were at their best and
captivated their hearers with eloquent,
Datriotic words. The length of the
A - w
program, with the beautiful poem,
printed below, occupies so much space
that a synopsis of the speeches cannot
be given today. Prof. M. H. Holt
was master of ceremonies and in a
harmv manner did he perform these
M.
duties.

THE BUGLER BOY.
'Tis as sad a story as ever was told
Of the "Bugler Boy," with a heart of
gold.
A beardless youth, so fair to
Who rode with "Light Horse Harry"
Lee.
'Twas chill and murk, in the wintry
sky
Where the bitter winds, with a moan,
went by
But the Bugler Boy with his 6hining
horn
Was blithe and gay, as a summer
morn.
He thought of home, as he scoured the
plain,
Of the mother he soon should see
again,
Of the little brothers and sisters at
play,
How they dreamed of him so far away.
With Harry Lee, through forest and
field,
With never a sword, with never a
shield ,
Only a bugle, whose mellow note,
Was sweet as a strain from the wild
bird's throat.
With Harry Lee, the trusted and tried,
This boy of fifteen, with a soldier's
pride,
Rode boldly forth on that direful day,
On the rode where the cruel Tarleton
lay.
Hark! the clatter of hoofs! Who is it
comes there?
'Tis Tarleton's men, with swords all
bare,
Ho! ride for your life brave Harry Lee,
They are ten to one, so turn and flee.
He is off like a flash, like a glance of
light,
But the Bugler Boy, oh! pitiful sight!
His horse is down, too feeble for flight
And the unarmed boy, o'er powered by
might,
Cut down by the swords of that das
tardly crew,
Pierced by their bayonets through and
through,
He lay in death, his mother's joy
The murdered, but glorified, Bugler
Boy.
His comrades saw how the deed was
done
And heedless of meeting a hundred to
one
Dashed from their coverts with venge
ful ire,
And put them to rout with sword and
. fire.
Placid and calm, a smile on his face,
They found the poor boy in Death's
cold embrace
All bathed in blood, and close by his
side
Shone the silvery bugle, his boyish
pride.
Where the grand old oaks, like senti
nels stand,
Their giant branches o'ershading the
land,
They made him a grave, 'neath the
dewy sod
And left him, sweetly sleeping with
God.
A hundred years have passed since
then,
A century, and more, in the lives of
men,
But acts like these, and deeds sublime
Are not effaced by the tide of time.
So we come today with pulses high,
To rear a shaft, toward the bending
sky,
Where the name of Gillies, dazzlingly
bright,
Shall shine through the ages, a beacon
light,
Telling the world this story of old,
Of the Bugler Boy with a heart of
gold,
The bonnie lad so fair to see
Who rode with "Light Horse Harry"
Lee.
(Signed) E. D. H.
Without License.
Two canvassers, who were selling
enlarged portraits without license,
were arrested this morning. They are
subject to a fine of $20 and costs and
will hare to pay a license tax of $10
each. They refused to do this, how
ever, and will let the question go to
trial in order to make a test case of it
Mayor Nelson was attending the cele
bration at the Battle Ground this
morning and will hear the case this
afternoon when he returns. There can
be but little doubt but that the can
vassers will have to pay the tax as the
city ordinance is very explicit in re
gard to this matter.
Mr. Otterbourg Dead.
Mr. J. J. Otterbourg, who, it will be
remembered, hanged himself last Sun
day afternoon, but was discovered and
taken down before life was extinct
lingered until last night about 10
o'clock when he died. It was thought
a day or two ago that he would get
well. He seemed to be improving fast
but only for a short while. The inter
ment will be made this afternoon at
o'clock.
