My last was a boat the Wilderness : *

knew ? hrr to do but to go to sleep, ' '<
and when 1 was j.ist about entering j i
the I^aad of Nod 1 heard a horse's feet! 1
coining up the road striking t:ie road (
'"" v !> .> rH ITt>rvn r>nm3n<r npar us its 1
rider drew up and asked for Long-11
street's headquarters. We told him 1
where to find the general, and when
r.e was there he handed over some '<
paper or other. Longstreet told Joe j
Blue to beat the long roll. Joe came 1
out beating his drum, "Bam-er-lam- i
bam! Bam! Bam!" (That sound would

grabbed our guns out of the stacks. We 3
near-about literally fell into line. We 1
marched down the road 200 yards. 1
halted there and ront-faced. We 1
marched into an old fie'.d nearby, and : 1
stood in line of battle. Gen. Stuart j t
cam ft nn and ordered us, in words ! i
ringed with lightning, to move for-jva'-Q
to a certain coveted position? |
to do it Quick before the Yankees get j
t? it. ; ,
We went there. W"e went quick.! (
The Yankees were not more than ten ; ,
minutes be1 ind us; and here the}*
came! We were in a sort of fortified
Via-c?crude breastworks had been i

good use o. what we had. We wait- j
fd a little, then poured our fire into j
the faces of the enemy. I heard no
order to fire, but at 75 yards we let j
them hat. e our best. Two audacious
Yankees should aave known better?
but they didn't. Just two of tr.em j
acted very badly, 1 thought?jumped {;
ever our breastworks, about six feet j
from me. One was in the act of!
bayoneting George Lane. Just.at that j
moment one of our men shot the *el- j j
4ow down, mortally wounding him. '
The other Yankee, losing courage, \
jumped back over the works and ran
for his life. About a dozen shots '
rang out, as our men shot at Mm, and J ;
*' misspri him clear. Another Van-I
I
kee had been standing behind a tree j
a little to my left. Then he saw j
how lonely he was out there, after j
all the others had run and turned to ,
run. He was pretty fast in his pace,; \
t?o. T ree or four men shot at him? ;;
and missed. A Mr. Graham?I don't; j
know his initials?got his gun ready j j
toy the time the Yankee was 100 yards
away. I heard him say, "Let me try (
. him." He tried him, and there was
no need of any other to fire at him. j ,
The right was over fen. Tile fei- {,
low? 'he poor fellow that had jump-' ]
-ed over amongst us to be shot?lay .
there all day begging us to kill him. j ]
He was certain he could not live, and , j
so were we; but we did nothing to j<
hasten death froh him. Late in tlie '
day he died. j;
Oh! I came near forgetting to men-:
tion my poor nose. When we were! <
rushing for the position mentioned';
above, I hu:t my nose, by ailing ,
against a bank of dirt. I felt about j (
like a hornet does when some on>i ,
strikes a hornet nest with his fist. I ;
wanted vengeance, and maybe get ]
some out cf the enemy. As long as ,
the battle lasted 1 never felt the paia j (
in my nose, but afterwards it began j ]
to swell and look bad. The boys, ! ]
f.a'ving nothing else to do, began to1 ]
tease me by saying, "HeI?o, Dock. <
"What are you doing with that turnip <
on your face there.'' My answer was, i
"It is a Yankee bump, and I don't likoA,
it much." Why they called it a "tur- \
nip" instead of a bloodred "beet"' I *
vever could tell. j 1
Those pesky Yankees had been aim- t
ing at our wagon-train. We got in
their way, and sent them back faster
than tl>ey came. We needed those i
wagons ourselves, and kept them. AftAr
fnilnwino- th^m a little wav we re- i-,
turned to strengthen the breastworks
A few days lafir, while we were t
still holding those breastworks, a
bloody battle was fought about a haif t
or a lijill away. It i" called the battle
of the "Bloody Bend/' because our
line was not straight at fhat point, e
Most of our men were taken from us ?
to help down there. There was only
a man left every five yards. I did *
not say much, being afraid the Yan- ^
" " T 4-1 !
kees might near me; out 1 myugui i
we never could hold those works if j ^
we were attacked in force. We held t
them though, as most of the fighting
was done farther down the line. The
Yankees never broke the line, which i
was already badly bent. 1
That ni'-rht after I hurt my nose I
was on picket duty. I heard some- (
thing coming like a loose liorse in ;
i
];<> b >. i: was ico dark to sco
ny:'. Aug. The mysterious noise con- '
ii:VA ;?11 <1 the tiling was getting
ear-.r: so "bang!" went my riile, and
ran back to our line. The men ail
umped up ana picKea uj> uitrir t,un.i,

who had been shot through one
> his less and was crawling towards
vur lines. He did not seem to care
o call any one, or to let his condition
ind position be known; perhaps from
ear of the Yankees. He made poor
progress, as he came along beating
iown briars and breaking and mashns
down bushes to make a path. He
vould travel a while and rest a while;
)ut he finally got back.
During the battle described in this
irticle a shell burst high above us.
A fragment struck one of my feet.
[ was afraid to look at my foot, fearng
'that it was gone. I tried to work
ny toes, and when I felt them workng
I knew I had the use jof both feet.
The same shell caused a piece of
ine-bark to strike Pink Cromer on
:he face. His blood flowed freely, and
Pink thought he was about killed;
Dut the doctors sent him back to the
ine, after about an hour with a lit;!e
court-plaster, or something like
t, stuck on the wound.

| Great Kidney Remedy Saves
Two Children in One Family
About one year ago two of my children
suffered badly from weak kid.neys.
They would have severe spells
of dizziness and were all run down ir
health. I was just about discouraged
f tried several remedies and finallj
a doctor, but they did not seem to imj
prove. I knew of a friend who was
I taking Swamp-Root for kidney trouble
1 with <mr>r? rPciilfs and T <if>Hdf>d tf) S'ej
! some for the children. I had notice$
| that there was some improvement af
iter ti':ey had taken two large bottles
j and continued to give it to-them unti
I they had taken one-hal; dozen bottles
and were well on the road to recovery
I think Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has
done more for my children than an}
other medicine I haive tried and recommend
it to anyone having children
that suffer as mine did.
Very truly yours,
