Mr. Browa joined Co. C, 12th, N. C. Regiment at the bginning of the Mexican war in Con cord. ; Their captain was Martin Shives and they marehed from here to Charlotte in the winter of 1846 and were mustered into service. From Charlotte they marched to Wilming ton on foot aa there were no rail roads then. There were 00 men from this section in the regiment.- They went in tng boats from Wilmington to Fort Caswell and from there to the Rio Grande.' They were awhile at Brownsville, Texas, at Mala Mor ris and at Buena Vista. Their cap tain, Mr. Shives, died at Bnena Vista. After reaching home in 1848 they re alised, that 'about one-half of their men bad died, either in battle or from sickness, mostly from sickness. Col. Brown was also a forty-niner in tne-roan--to- tauiornia in imh, when the gold fever was at its height. CoL' Brown in 1849 waa on what Is now the Panama Canal Land, He was at Aspinwall, now Colon, and foot ed it from there, 40 mile across what is now the canal strip, and .. from there he went to California and stay ed two years among the gold hunters. He sot bock home in 1852 and stay ed nntil the Civil War. From 1862 to 1865 he was in service for the Confederacy. Since then he' has al ways lived in Coneord and hag been one of our most interesting citizens. The Colonel is nearly 88 years old now, but is aa lively as a cricket and it is remarkable how he can, remem ber so well the scenes of 60 years ago. The above facts as to his history waa told by him in only a few min utes conversation and his - remem brance of dates, places, etc., seems indeed remarkable considering his age... : . .v;.:.; V The New Street Oar Schedule. - We publish elsewhere- today, the complete schedule- of the street -ear line, which will go into effect Thurs day.
