CH AFTER VIII.
Wo continued on a by road ho had
directed us to tako until, near morn
ing, wo came to a cross road more
frequently used, and wero successful
In reaching a point that evening that
was to glvo us a straight road to
Lenoir, near tho foot of tho u'orth
Carolina and Tennessee mountains.
But when we came to a house (on
tho right side of the road) built In
log cabin stylo with a shed between
tho two apartments, then uninhabit
ed, wo should pass to the rear of the
cabin a mile, where we would como
upon a brush road that led diagnoal
ly toward an old mill nt the foot of
tho mountains, thus avoiding tho
town
Wo reached that point, and wero
well on our way. continuing in tho
darkness, until wo heard horses
hoofs striking tho ground in our
front Instantly wo rushed to the
road-side, climbed the low-limbed
trees, intending to secrete ourselves
until tho horsemen, who ever they
were, had passed. Hut to our horror
tho bugle sounded tho call to halt,
and not 200 yards from whero we
wero they commenced to dismount at
a creek and prepare to build their
camp fires.
This was n predicament we were
not prepared for, being separated in
different trees. They would soon
throw out pickets and have 11s with
in their lines. We dare not make our
usual signal to get together.
One great forethought was in our
favor, providing wo acted in time.
This plan wo had arranged In the
early part of our journey In case of
such an emergency as the present.
"Robinson, our woodcraftsman, was
always our leader to arrange for our
disentanglement. Anxiously we
waited for some move on his part.
Hagenbach and I, being In the
same tree, wero suddenly surprised
by some one's presence underneath,
when not three whistles, but a low
ehlrp of a bird was given. We care
fully descended, and in a whisper he
gave instructions to walk slow and
sure five hundred steps on our back
track, there to wait by the roadside
in tho 'bush till he found tho rest.
Using the greatest caution not to dis
turb a twig unnecessarily, wo reach
ed the given point and laid low by
the side of the road. Soon Captain
Willson, then Durbrow, and when
lleanis and Robinson arrived we ex
amined the moss on the trunks of
the trees and starting in a westerly
course until wo had accomplished
two miles, then turned straight
northwest towards the mountains.
It was a tedious and severo route,
eo often falling over down trees and
logs, getting tangled In brush and
Tines. Our scurvy and torn limbs
became very painful, and at times
running against a stump or
tree
wouja mano us iorget our discretion Mr and MrSi Jonn Maudsley at
and cry out in our agony. Some-, tnnded tho fuenral of William Rose
times in our extreme suffering we
would doubt the wisdom of being bo'
controlled and wrought to such a
npirlt of devotion to principle that
humanity would ibo willing to give
up and abandon all that was dear to
tolm, all that was life, all that was
worth striving for to make that life.
Home, wife, children, mother, and
business and suffer pain and hun
ger almost beyond endurance. And
yet maintain that fervid lovo of
routnry and Its glorious Institutions.
Standing to tho end imbued with pa
triotism and loyalty. We cannot
wonder at the effect of tho American
fioldler, tho greatest embodiment of
pride and courage under tho stellar
canopy of heaven. And wo wonder
that a certain number of our citi
zens, to whom at tho present tlmo
our sufferings those days meant so
much, should begrudge the premium
paid in pensions for their severe ser
vice. Many do not need the gov-
ernment s generous gift of $12 per , eVening. April-10, tho occasion being
month, but they divert It to a fund Mrs Williams' birthday. Light ro
to help the veteran whose expense freshments wero served after which
for care in his helplessness exceeds 1 tho young people put In full tlmo
tho amount provided in the stipulated paying games with vocal andInstru
penslon. mental music thrown in. At a sea-
. P.ut a va!t army of two and a , sonable hour all ieft feeling that
null iimuuiis ul iiiuu, uiuru are muuy
who became partially then and later
totally incompetent to maintain
themselves. It was through this ser
vice A true American, born of tho
loyal woman and her descendents,
should not let prejudice, averlcious
ness or greed or notoriety among
tho&e of our countrymen who are a
little short of enthusiasm as to what
'he Yankee soldier did or deserves
uti'iu) ujuu bujiuuiuui. jji juguiu iu
Uiose vrno bore his burden In the
ah moment of so much towards our
onnirys greatness.
The world little cares for stubborn
i.iiiBiueBH. uui win appiuuu a geii -
erous ait under any all condi
tions, thuB creating a feeling of good-
reiiowship and hrotherly lovo, en
during beyond tho grave.
Again, little does the general pub
lic feel this expense. Not a dollar of
tho revenues of tho United States is
collected because of pensions. Not a
dollar is imposed upon any ono to
pay pensions. Tho money all comes
from taxes Imposed for protection of
American products, industry and
wages, or for tho regulation of tho
whisky and beer traiilc. They would
bo Imposed and collected all tho
same If there was no such thing as
tho pension office, and no pension In
all tho land.
Therefore, I cannot seo any hu
mility on tho American soldiers' part,
or a burden on tho government, by
Increasing this generosity to a sulll
clent standard whoro theso men, who
havo so generously contributed their
health, strength, and many of them
opportunities of successful business
life, should ibo carod for to such a
manner that they need not hunger In
their last years. Twelvo dollars por
month Is too llttlo to keep any per
son, much less himself and aged
-f-f- t
T
wife. It is inadequate to even shel
ter them.
Build one battleship less this year,
cut the unceasing demand of com
munities upon their congressmen for
a half million dollar postofllco gov
ernment building In their town to
boom real estate In tho Interest of
some powerful syndicate Thcro
would bo no opportunities for theso
great enterprises had not theso men
bared their bosom to tho shot and
shell In the days of their vigor and
strength. These projects can wnlt a
llttlo longer. Tho veteran can not.
The hungry wolf Is now prowling
around his door. It could bo possible
that the nntl-penslon papers and
magazines will defeat the purposo of
congress nnd the will of tho people
In twenty-seven stntes who have mod
estly asked through their legislatures
for a more gracious and competent
gift to their veteran citizens. Wo are
aware that tho vlrtlpulatlons against
theso heroes who accomplished tho
victory are without qualifications. We
nro also aware that nil Interests of
our people, politically and industrial
ly, are not always identical. Again,
we know many of our countrymen
are as Indifferent to the best Inter
ests of tho Yankee soldier as they
were when four hundred thousand
mothers read with 'bated breath and
glistening eye the name of her first
born in tho columns of long lists of
names, killed or wounded, heralded
from tho battle fields.
Yet, In a business view, these mil
lions asked to make them comfort
able will reach every homo and ham
let in the remotest part of our coun
try, establishing renewed activity in
trade o every home and community
where theso brave old defenders live.
Returning In a measuro the compli
ment that these fighting men extend
ed to tho government when in the
darkest stage of the war it sent tho
treasurer to our great cities to ask a
loan from tho .banks and vaults that
had plenty and to spare, but who re
turned to Washington empty handed.
With only a vision before him of
these generous, loyal, mighty hosts
plodding through mud, grape and
canister at the front, striving with
all their might to maintain what
others would tear down. These same
true, loyal sons of America, from
their meager ?13 to 510 per month,
put their hand in their pocket and
loaned to Uncle Sammy twenty mil
lions of their hard earned money to
tide the war for the Union through
its greatest crisis.

SUPPORT YOUR HOME TOWN.
Trade With Local Merchants nnd tho
Town Will Bo Prosperous.
Did you over stop to think what a
convenience it is to have a full lino
of good retail stores at homo In our
own community?
It enables people to see goods at
any tlmo before paying down money,
In that way the purchaser detects
many faults that could never be
found in 'buying from a catalogue
cut.
Furthermore you get your goods
when you want them without bother,
letter writing, or without tho fati
guo of a journey to a big city and
tramping all over Its streets. It Is
an economy of time, car fares, human
energy.
This enables you to do your shop
ping at your ieisuro, when you are In
a mood for It, rather than in tho
haste and Hurry of a trip out of
town. In our home stores you take
all tho timo you want to talk over
your purchase and Inspect goods
You can positively assuro yourself
that you aro buying right.
Furthermore you get moro per
sonal nnd intelligent attention in
homo store than anywhere else. Tho
proprietors and clerks must please
home trade or go out of business.
It is human nature to take moro
pains for people that aro known than
for strangers. Tho homo merchant
will go to tho utmost limit to glvo
satisfaction for defects In the goods,
and without Irritating red tape.
When locating for residenco or
business, people aro as slow to sottlo

If wo want to draw in now res
idents, everyone must do his share
to provide thorn with tho conven
iences of retail trade. Tho only way
to do this is to patronize tho homo
merchant.
It Is tho good fortune of this com
munity to havo a lino of finely equip
ped and nttractlvoly stocked retail
stores. I)ut If every dollar possible
was spent at homo, theso stores could
grow faster, put In hotter assort-
monts, employ moro clorks. Thus
they would contribute to tho conven
ience of every resident and add to tho
prosperity of ovory property holder.

A NEW MATERIAL.
Epongo Is tho material catchword
of tho moment. In Its best and
most superfine woolen finalities this
fabric Is wholly Irresistible and ful
fills, moreover, its most descriptive
name, of course, in a very refined,
temporcd fashion.
But already tho term is being more
or less loosely applied, and there Is
no sort of resemblanco between this
fine quality of woolen enonce and tho
cotton varieties. Frankly, tho latter
aro not particularly attractive,
though a good deal Is already being
made 01 tnem for trimming purposes.
