At the Iwttle of tliiraitiaupi a

lieotwary to tdianp' front. A the

in the face of a heavy volley from

were pursued a short way. Among
the prisoners brought buck wits a
waKiidi fellow, who, wlicil they

alluding to the practice of the Con

A German named Seidel was cook
for a Confederate general during
the war. He took the lield with
the first troop and remained until
the closing scenes around Appo
mattox Court House, w here he was
not paroled with other distinguish
ed personages, for the simple rea
hoii that he escaped before the cor
dou was drawn too tight. He was
a pastry rook hy profession, but
for four long yeiuw had little ex
cuse for exercising his knowledge
in Unit direction, save occasionally
when some Yankee sutler's wagon
fell into his hands. He led not an
idle life, however, and his skill was
taxed often to the uttermost to pro
vide a meal for his general. At
Sliarpslnirg his diflirultics in pro
(Ineing a meal from the scantiest
materials reached a climax. He
had nothing but some green corn

w ith his ow n hands seized one of
the fugitive,
"What are you running fort" he
asked.
"Oh, general," replied the Juu
ior, "the Yaukeea are shooting at
us."
"Why didn't you shoot back,
then?" demanded the general,
"ain't you ashamed of yourself,

The Junior, hlnbliering, "I wish

At the Is'ginning of the war when
a regiment was la-uig organized,
Judge Ida ii k , an old man, a prom
incut and talented lawyer, was
chosen major. Mis eflorls to learn
the bu'ticH vcrilicd the old saying
thai you cannot teach an old dog
new tricks. He wait very deaf and
iu re echoing the colonel's com
luatids on drill would sometimes
make very laughable mistakes. On
skirmish drill ouce the order was
given, "Kally by platoons!" The
major, standing for a moment w ith
a most puv.led expressiou oil his
face, suddenly blurted out iu sten
torian lonea, "Kally by raeeoouN!"
He never tried skirmish dull again.
At the battle of Murfreeslsirothe
major of a certain regiment made
a very flowery sia-ech to his men,
and as they had seen service at
Shiloh and I'erryville, he duhltcd
them "1 lens-sol Mhiloh and I'erry
ville." He used the hackneyed
expression, "strike till the last
armed foe expires," ami other po
etic (imitations, and told the said
licrocit to die rather thaii retreat.
Iu the course of the light the regi
ment was compelled to retreat.
lhe colonel of the regiment had
liceu sick until he wax worn to a
skeleton, and w heu the retreat com
menced he came in from the rear,
mad as a hornet. When the major
imide his Hiteech, he had nothing to
say, but the retreat roused liia ire,
and he raised himself in hia stir
rups, singing out in a weak, shrill
voice, "lleroea of Shiloh and I'er
ryville, slop running, or I'll blow
our brains out in nlioiit two in in

he intended to get up a dinner lot

where he hud an excellent rooking
stove. He put the corn and liccf
in hilt pot and proceeded to Isiil
them, latter he diil oilier things
which are best recounted c his ow n
word:
"I put te pecf m it tier corn into

At the battle of Wilson Creek,

fellows and were on the lookout for
"betterment" of their condition.

when he saw him fill, he shouted: .., Mml Il,'1r,.n)ini i the pro
visional army," said the horn-man,
modestly
passionate, excitable, and who,
when (lurried, was apt to mix up
the reverential and the profane,
the sublime and the ridiculous, iu
a very alsurd and laughable way.
He had given everything he could
spare to the Confederate govern
incut, but had reserved a ten -acre
lot of corn for his own use, and this
he guarded with unceasing vigi
lance. One day while on watch he
discovered a group of horsemen
approaching. Instead of going
around his ten-acre lot, they took
the most direct route through. His
wrath was instantly aroused and
supHsiiig they were of that class
of individuals whom a well known
French oflicer in a Southern coin
maud used to call "te damu cavel
ree," he rushed out in great rage.
"How dare you go through my
field," he shouted. "lauiu you, I
will report you to President Da
via."
"We are on urgent business anil
took the shortest cut," mildly re
plied the leading horseman, iu an
old faded suit of gray.
"Do you command this com
pany," he was asked by the citizen.
"es, sir," wan the reply.
"I'll teach you not to ride
through my Held, damn you; what's

"My name is Jackson," said the
horseman.

The young men entered the place
by the further gate oo Occau av

They went through the pine wood
that skirt the golf links, ami wben
they came to the fourth hole, which
it exactly yards from the Rock
efeller house, they aat down aud
deliberated as to whether they
should go further. Curiosity finally
imM-lled them to risk the dangers
which all Lakewootl has believed

uo one was in sight and they ven

for two years. The operation was
iverformed yesterday, aud success
fully. The patient rallied wetland
there was some hope of timely re
co very, despite bis advanced age.
During the night, however, there
was a change for the worse, and he
sank gradually until thi afternoon
at i:.'IO, when he breathed bis last.
The remains, accompanied by his
sou. Marshal Dockery, aud daugh
ter, Mrs. W. T. Jones of Manguin,
will leave here tomorrow morning
for Kirhuiond couuty, X. t, where
the funeral aud iuteruieut will take
place Friday.
Col. Oliver Hart Dockery, a di
rect descendant of the old school of
Whigs, was born Iu Kichinoud
county, August 12, Hisfath
er, Col. Alfred DtK'kery, was the
most prominent Whig iu this sec
tion, active in politico, served sev
eral terms iu Congress and was in
other ways honored hy hia paity.
Oliver IkH'kery was given a liberal
education and in 1MH graduated
from the University of North Caro
lina. He took an active interest iu
politics aud at the early age of .'in
was elected to the State Legisla
ture, serving one term. I' poll the
outbreak of the civil war, though,
like his father, au anti secessionist,
he joined the Thirty-eighth North
Carolina Hegiinent and served the
Confederacy valiantly throughout
the struggle. At the close of the
war he liecame a stauueb supporter
ofthel'iiiou and bent his effort
toward the re establishment of the
Federal government in the .State,
though he was a bitter opponent of
Governor llolden aud his methods.
Iu l.siis Col. Dockery was elect
ed on a liepublican ticket to the
Fortieth Congress, ami two years
later was re-elected to the Forty
find Congress. Iu IS he was ap
pointed by President Harrison con
sul general to Ilrail, serving with
distinction in that post until IHK.
In lsiui be was placed Is'fore the
Republican Htate cor.ventiou for
the gubernatorial nomination, but
was defeated by Daniel L. Kussell
by a half vote. His last appearance
in the political arena was in llHHi
when, very much against his will,
Col. Dockery was uomiuated by his
party in the sixth, the old ''shoe
string" district, for Congress. His
opponent was Hon. John D. llella-
my of llmington, w ho was elect
ed and, in the contest which was
afterward brought by Col. Docket)-,
was sustained. After that mem
orable campaign Col. Dockery re
tired to his old home at Manguiii,
in Hii liinond county, his atxsle for
5d years, taking thereafter uo active
interest iu politics.
Of splendid phyiiiue aud patri
archal presence, be was a towering
figure iu party councils and ever a
leader. His will was indomitable,
his energy tireless, but withal he
had the great, tender heart of a
woman. A devoted husband and
father, his home life is said to have
been most beautiful.
Col. DtK'kery was married three
times. His first wife was Miss Jane
Stanhack, hi second Miss Skllie
Dumas and the third Mr, tannic
Settle Covington, who preceded him
to the grave. Six children survive
him. They are Mrs, V. T. Jones
of Carthage, Mrs. Stephen Wall of
Rockingham, Mrs. Irank O. Lan

Wt at a beautiful subject.
First of all, have a good fence to
keen out intruders. Then, if I had
no ttvett, my first move would be to
phtr.t a few fine young white oaks
aud water oak, and some of the
choicest of dowering slirul.U-ry
such a syringa. snow lull, artiti
cialv white and pink, and lilac
(oh, how I love lilacs!;

Next, viuea I would have an
abundance of F.uglisb ivy, ami one
honeysuckle bower at the farthest
cot ler of the ground, I .ccau.se il

else to grow. I rememlicr ( w heu I
was a little girl t setting out honey
suckles beside my father's tig trees,
which he had fenced iu a little lot
to keep out the chickens. It was a
little thing, but iu a few years the
viue had just takeu the w hole fence,
ground, fig trees and all. My fath
er offered uie a dollar to kill it out,
but I didn't have any fancy for the
job, so it cost him a pretty price to
pay for my thoughtlessness. It took
two men several day to uproot the
houcysuckle, and then it was al
ways breaking out in a new place.
I would have an ai'lair of victo
ria, and clamatis on the porches.
I would have a bed of piu.it- and
one of hyaciuths, a wilderness of
violets and verbeua-s and pink
sweet illiams and carnations.
V
Rut most of all, roses, for the rose
is toe aiiiceii of the garden. I want
roses all the year round every col
or, aud thousands of them to give
tn the living aud to lay on the dead.
What tribute more sweet than
roscsf I think, as they are so easi
ly grow n, it is inexcusable not to
have any.
I always save the green stem of
every fine rose 1 get or cau leg,
aud cut oil' bias ut the ends, anil set
very deeply iu a Ihix of rich soil,
mixed with sand. They root read
ily. I have seen them with roots
au inch long when only two mouths
old. The root are as fine as horse
hairs and very tender. The slips
cannot be set out in the garden un
til they are two years old. Then
make a tleep hole ami fill with soft,
rich soil, and drive down a stake
ou each side to protect and after
ward to support the young bush,
t have twenty-five of these one-year-old
clips that I hoMt to see
another year iu a gardeu of my own.
Almost any fine box plants may
lie rooted in this manner. I have
a fine oleander a year old now.
The cae jessamine also is easily
grown, aud the beautiful white
(lowers are worth very much tome,
as they were my mother's favorite
llower, and the same one that she
loved and tended in lile now nour
ishes ou her grave in beautiful Kim
wood.
Many of the annuals may In
grown from seed, being hardy, and
children enjoy their gay colors aud
sweet ieifunie it much as that of
the more exensive llower.
Now, for vine indoor. I think
the smilax most beautiful of all. A
friend of mine had one trained ou
a small flume, in her sunniest par

Babies
Fat is of great account
to a baby ; that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby i3 scrawny, Scott's
Emulsion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as fat what it does
not need immediately for
bone and muscle. Fat
babies are happy ; they do
not cry ; they are rich ;
their fat is laid up for
time of need. They are
happy because they are
comfortable. The fat sur
rounds their little nerves
and cushions them. When
they are scrawny those
nerves are hurt at every
ungentle touch. They
delight in Scott's Emul
sion. It is as sweet as
wholesome to them.

Does
Advertising
Pay?
For the past sixty days I have
been placing a few local ads in
this paper and every day new
customers are cominK in saying
"I saw your ad. in the paper."
This convinces me that the people
read advertisements and that ad
vertising pays the man who ad
vertibes. It no doubt pays the
editor and, last but not least, it
pays the reader.
First, If he wanU an article a
glance at his paper tells him
where to get it l hia saves time.
Second. Advertizers quote the
very lowest prices. This saves
you money.
Third. If there was no adver
tising your paper could not exist
on $1 a year but would cost you
$2. Another dollar saved.
But he who saves the most is
the man who buys his groceries
from T. J. Caudle, the man who
turns his money over every thir
days, and thereby keeps the very
best goods at the very lowest
prices. See ads. in special notice
column.
