For Instance, while there, each Company bad to tend out detail eaoh day of four men to gather wild onions, Although not a very dainty diem, they were keenly relished, and beaide made our rations go farther. Nothing occurred to mar our pleasure, until order began to come In fronr Gen. R. K.

The fir.t order reee'ved was i "Send all baggage and atck to the Next watt "The Captain will aee that every man has forty rounda of ammunition and a bayonet," and If they did not have them to make requisition at once.

We lay around the Are until about two hours before day light when the order came for us to move.

In a few minutes the Colonel gave the order "Battalion right face, countermarch by file left, march 1" and we were on our way to Chaneellorsville.

Age-Herald While the Boers and British are discussing peace, each evidently anxious to secure it, a brief resume of the desper-( ate struggle may not prove uninteresting. It was begun on October 12, 1800, and is therefore well advanced in its third year. Pretoria was captured at the end of the first eleven months, and Mufeking was relieved, and in those bloody eleven months official reports put the British loss at 42,000 men, of whom 4,000 were killed in battle, 80,000 were wounded and 8,000 were reported missing. There are no official reports that cover the entire war, but the best unofficial estimates put the total fatalities on the English side at 22,077, of whom 0,862 were killed in battle.

Nearly all the rest died of disease. The Boer losses will perhaps never be accurately known, but on account of their knowledge of the country and their manner of fighting their-' fatalities were much less. Thy suffered heavily in capture, the British holding as prisoners to-day over 15,000 Boers.

If the sprvices had been rendered by these same doctors to a person not occupying so prominent a position as President McKinley, and the bill had to be made out ag linst theestote of the deceased, one thousand -dollars would have been considered a fair and equitable amount to charge. The fact is, the United States government ought not to pay this bill.

It has no more right to do so than the county of Hale has to pay the doctor's bill of any of her county officials. ler of Pensions II. r-i-oof his I rent-1 iBpfepRredtoFell oa Dretwed or Buist's Garden Se A full and select variety. late and pole and early or hu Garden peas late and earl; lections Corn, Golden dent for bread- and fee purposes Several garden tor tablcuse Green Feed Sorghum, Pearl Millet, Alfalfa and 1 My experience of several years here will enable) keep what is called for best suited or jrotation crop Please remember that I keep a good stock of Snndiies and Toilet Articles, fresh Drugs and'-Me LW, JAY-- Diuggij Undressed IajSIbbM, BRIKET8, COLUMNS, mouldings, tables.

Why endure this. terrible disease? We pack a written guurantee in each front Company on that day. Gen. Jackson and Gen. Rodes rode immediately in front of us all day.

I think the whole line thought we were retreating, for as much confidence as we had in Gen'K Lee and JacKson, we eould not think that they would attack Hooker with an army of one hundred thousand men with' only Jackson's corps, and one divission of Longstreets, (he being below Richmond with the remainder of corps. We were marched all day in perfejt order, with a heavy skirmish line on our right, marching para! led to us. About four o'clock in the evening we came to the old plank road that we left early that morning. We marched down the old road a short distance, when we came to some trees the Yankees had cut across the road. We heard Gen.

Jackson say to Gen. Rodes "These trees must be moved." Gen. Rodes moved our regiment 5tb Ala. and the 6th Ala. and bad them taken While this was'belng done, General Jackson went down the road returned jus1, as we had finished moving the trees.

He took the position that the pension roll vas to be a roll of honor. No commissioner has been as alert in ferreting out fraudulent claims or as fearless in refusing pensions. The Grand Army of the Republic and the pension attorneys began their fight upon him soon after his appointment, but President McKinley supported him, however, and could not be iiiduci'd to ask for his resignation. It seems that he was too honest for the pension thieves and robbers, and hence his resignation, Pneumonia claimed ten thousand four hundred and eighty victims in New York City, last year, yet pneumonia is classed as a preventable disease. ItT Is to prevention that modern sanitary science now devotes itself.

If Havana can be purified from the sfeds of yellow fever by exterminating the mosquitoes, why can't the cities be swept clean of pneumonia germs?
