Mrs. J. F. lVtr returned Fri- tion iu the coluiuusof ur noble
day from Aabeville, where she 61 aier. The chun h ban lieen local
keen of whipping us there, till be
fore going iuto the fight they put
all their luggage in a pile, expert
log to get it after the tight wan
over. But in the wind up we drove
them bark at a break neck red.
Ho we got the spoils ami burdened
ourselves with heavy wool blank
ets, overcoats, knapNacks aud the
like.
Karly next morning we were or
dered to move 00 down to ShUs
ylvania.- It being quite a hot day
and being pushed, we had not goue
far before the road began to lie lit
erally lined with our extra lug
gige, acd it was so all the way.
We got iown to Hpottnylvama
('rowing the I'otoiusr Kiver, they
again iuvaded Maryland, moving
to wtiiie point not far distant from
Wahiiigton. where they did some
very tiorre lighting, the command
beiuit badly cut up. We lost three
of our company. Ananias Brig
niau, John A. ilarrill and M. W.
Nelson were either killed or cap
tured, ax they were never heard of
aft era aril a.
I remained at the hospital three
weeks when, with four others, we
left to return to our command,
which bad recroced the river aud
was uot far from Harper's Ferry.
We went as far a Stanton by rail,

or less every day. On the lJtli of 1 "'''' backward. "W ell," I said.
May, supporting a battery, we lay
behind our breastworks iu mud aud
water all day, there lieing a tierce
artillery fire going on and we dared
not raise our heads during the day.
Two of the artillerynieu walked up
close to where I was lying aud Hat
down with their barks to the works
and their beads above. In a short
while a rannou ball came quarter
lug across aud killed them both,
teariug their beads literally to
pieces.
A day or two later we were or
dered to move around and attack
in the rear. Ho early in the even
ing we got around and made the
attack, the Yankees giving back
for some distance. Finally they
turned on os and we were rapidly
being flauked and were driven
back, and night coining ou we
moved back to our hreuat works.
On that occasion we had lost 1 1 of
our company: two killed, K. II.
Moore and J. F. Lingle, and sev
eral wounded and some captured.
On one evening the Yankees charg
ed onr works at a poiut Just to the
right of our company, a nuinlx-r of
them crossing over works and firing
an enfilading fire down our line.
There was great coufiwiou and our
Major and Culor Bearer were kith
killed and one of our company, I.
A. Klliott. Borne reserves came to
our rescue and we drove them back.
Later on we moved again, our
next pitch being at Cold Harbor,
where we had another battle, our
casualties there being light. Our
next pitch was some few miles
down below Richmond, where we
had auother fight and where Uev.
J. A. Biveus lost his arm and John
8. Marsh was killed and others of
our company wounded. By that
time our company was reduced to
only .12 meu.
After resting a day our corps
(which was Jackson's old corps)
was ordered to Lynchburg to light
or drive back the Yankee, General
Huutcr, who was raiding that sec
tion of couutry. After a wearisome
march we arrived at Lynchburg ou
Bunday evening. Early next morn
ing we drew ti crackers aud pound
of baoon and started to bunt up
Huutcr, but Hunter had taken the
biut and was moving back with all
his might We chased him for four
days through a rough, mountain
ous country and the weather awful
but, aud we had nothing more to
eat after we left Lynchburg. 1 1 11 li
ter's men bad slaughtered lieeves
along the road and left the car
casses lying. Our men would run
out and trim off small bits aud car
ry it along. We went as far as the
town of Halem, where we gave up
the pursuit aud turned our course
to the right.
Ooing down by Islington, the
borne of Jackson, we marciicu
around Jackson'sgrave. The ladies
if you all will walk on slowly and
wait for ine I will get the lieans."
So I hopped into the bran patch
and gathered a mens of beans; and
going ou, alsiiit midday we stop
jH'il at a farm house near the road
side and engaged an old colored
"auntie"' to cook our lieaim; we
had among us enough bacou for the
seasoning. We lay aud rested
while our beans were rooking, and
iu ilnc time "auntie" brought them
out nicely cooked on a huge dish.
We gathered around, aud without
any grace we eat until there was
uot any left, but I think we had
enough. Somehow we found that
"auntie" had a family apple pie iu
the stove, and we bought it aud
paid her two dollars for it. We
fi ll iu aud ate that up and felt like
we had had one more failure meal.
N'ext day we met our command
a few miles almve Harper's Kerry,
wending their way back towards
Winchester, and in a few days we
were back in the vicinity of that
historic town nud there, oil Mou
day, the I'M li ol September, we had
another pitched battle.
I had neer been hit by a bullet
up to that time, but it seemed there
that day that they had taken a no
tion to try aud put me out of the
way. After Is ing in the light two
or three hours, a bullet struck my
left breast j but I was carrying a
small I'.ilile in that pocket which
the bullet struck, and in all proba-,
bility the liook saved my life. Af
tci that wo fi ll back to a Unly of
woods and alsmt the middle of the
evening they tried me again, hit
ting me that time by the sido of
the head. I thought at lirst that
they had got me, and I hollered
manfully. My fiiend, Daniel Mc
Collum, was near me aud said,
"Oh, t'hai lie!" But I was not hurt
as bad as I fiixt thought; the skin
was only broke and the ball had
not entered, but it was an awful j.ir.
T. J. Bi vemi was killed iu that
light, one of the liest men of our
company, and we had several
wounded. We lost Major General
Rhodes, one of our liest generals.
He was physically quite a line look
ing man. We were repulsed iu the
fight and full back that night 1
miles to Fisher's Hill, and iu three
days the Y'aukees advanced upon
us again, and there we had a geu
eral stampede, a great many of our
men lieing captured, I being one of
the iitimlier. On that occasion 1
had three bullet holes shot through
my clothing. I remained a pris
oner then until the close of the war.

excuse my poor scribbling, as I am

laud is furnishing a good market
and splendid outing for the com
niuuity. This, together with the
marvelous growth of pride and en
thusiasm iu both the church aud
community, is rapidly briuging
Mt Moriah to the front. The
growth of interest in church woik
has beeu very mailed during the
last year.
A splendid organ was installed
in the church iu October; and at
the same time it was decided to at
tempt to carry on the Sunday
school during the winter mouths,
an untried experience in the his
tory of the church. I luring each
month interest grew, and iu Feb
ruary it was decided to work for
an enrollment of one hundred with
in four mouths. By June the 7th,
one hundred and twenty had beeu
enrolled, with an average attend
ance of eighty to ninety.
The four mouths ended last Sat
urday with a carefully prepared
programme iu the interest of the
Sunday school, in w hich each child
acquitted itself so well that it made
the parents' hearts throb with joy.
Iu the preparation for children's
day, Mh T. P. Brewer and Miss
Era Martin deserve Recial men
tion; uiaii) others if space would
permit. Mrs. Brewer is a Sunday
school worker of exei ience, and
demonstrated her ability to pre
pare children for such an occasion.
Miss Kva Martin, the faithful and
etlicient church organist and one of
which any chinch might well he
proud, rendered very faithful ser
vice iu preparing the programme.
An hour and a half Sunday after
noon was taken up in the interest
of missions. Short talks were made
by Mr. L. L. Parker, the brilliant
cashier of the Rank of i'agelaud,
aud by the pastor. Following this,
pledges were taken for missions,
and to thnrredit of the church aud
some visitors, it must lie said that
au advance of more than JiOO per
cent, was made over any year in
the history of the church.
The next task before the people
is a church tiuililiug, nud this is
expected to te completed Isifore
the end of the year.
It is right difticult to serve a
church so far away, but the pastor
finds pleasure in visiting and work
ugwith such a generous, faithful
and appreciative people.

curred the other day when I.ewis

nothing was thought of the death
until it was noticed that Wingate
acted queerly. This led to more
talk, an investigation; the body was
