Baker a few weeks ago in the News and Observer, brought to memory an incident that caused the writer If meet him in 180") I was then a small boy, only eleven years of age. After the battle of Bentousville General Johustou's army came in the di rection of Smithfield and went into camp three miles south oi that place. My father's house was in the midst of the camp The next morning a soldiercame to father's house and asked for breakfast for General Baker. The soldier stated that the General bad been sick a day or two and had nothing a sick man could eat. Father had breakfast pre pared and the soldier took it to the General's headquarters and I accompanied him to return the dish that contained the break fast. The General joked me some, asked me if I would like to be a soldier, etc. What most took my attention then was the muskets stacked along the road side I had never seen anything like it before; thousands of guns in bunches of six or eight in each stack or bunch as far down the road as I could see. That after noon the soldiers marched to a certain place to shoot. 1 sup pose they did so to prepare for cleaning their guns as they were very much in use the day before in the battle of Bentonsville. There are scars on the trees to day that were made by the bul ets that afternoon. 1 could tell of some."incidents" that happen eii a few days later when the Yankees occupied the same camping ground, but the mem ory of them i9 not pleasant so 1 will not tell of them.

A C i glimpse of some of the southern ^ domestic economies during the I civil war is given by Miss M.

If no substi tute could be iuveuted for an ar ticle we simply did without. > Coffee, the southerners' daily l\ beverage, was manufactured t from parched corn, burnt corn , bread, even burnt molasses. Sweet potatoes cut into small t squares, dried, parched aud > ground were also used. The j stimulating effect was lacking, l but it wa? all the better for our ; l nerves. For tea, young rasp- 1 berry leaves dried were used < Sugar was a serious problem, \ aud molasses was as precious as { sugar. : "What shall we do when the j present supply of Louisiana mo 1 [ lasses gives out?" was a burning I j question, aud the oulv answer I was, "L>o without." I Urits were eaten for rice. When we wanted soda we swept ! the fireplace clean and burned j * corncobs. Mustard and pepper were made of home grown product-. Salt was costly. Every bit was J shaken off dry pork and used. | All brine was boiled down and dried. Still thesupplvgrew lower I and lower. Someone discovered that the dirt lioors of thesmoke- | bouses were salt mines, so to j spcak. The dirt was put in hop- j j pers and run down, the brine j boiled and dried. All new cloth had to be manu factured at home from raw ma-: terial. The dyestuffs were made i from roots, bark, walnuts and J indigo. Shoes were rough affairs made {from the hides of beeves, cured by the negroes. Buttons were made of coarse thread or per simmon seeds.

I its stages. and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh j I Cure is the only positive cure now known to I ! the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con- < stitutioual disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hail's Catarrh Cure is taken in ' ternally acting directly upon the blood and raucous surfaces of the system, thereby de , stroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ( . ing its work. The proprietors have so much i ' faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it j I fails to cure. Send for lisfot testimonials.
