1 PEN-PICTURES OF THE OLDEN TIME !
> i
> BY COL W L. CLAYTON. \
I believe I will call this arti
cle “Salmagundi." * As yoi
write along from memory alone,
you leave some things out tha’
you feel like inserting after yoi
iook back over the field and com
pare notes with your friends.
■ Really, I did not expect to writ(
so much when I began, and cer;
tainly did not think there would
be so many peonle interested ir
these “Pen Pictures."
I remember a class in Towne’s
Analysis at the old Martin School
which I think ought not to b«
passed over in silence. All of
the large boys and some of the
smaller ones, belonged to the
class, and every one stood at the
head of the class by reason of
the requirement that when one
remained at the head till the les
son was over he was then com
pelled to go foot.
I was thinking just the other
day of the great number qfCapt.
Martin’s old pupils still living: I
mean of those who were old
enough to and did enter the Con
federate service. They all serv
ed through the War who were
old enough. I have heard recent
ly that both the Fisher boys,
Platt Bull and Alfred, and also
Perry Nicks, were good soldiers.
Only a few days ago, an old
friend of mine was telling of Per
ry Nicks during the war. Perry
was in a Texas regiment, and
his command w as camped for a
time by my old friend’s regiment,
and who knew Perry before the
war, and they rnet several times
. i * , ii.
uuriiig \u%) wcu. it uictc
was some complaint made of the
boys of the Texas regiment, and
Perry was asked one day what
sort of men these Texans were
anyway. “Why,” says Perry,
“you may know what sort of
men they are when I tell 'you
Pm the best man in the com
mand. ’ I have heard of Perry
since ihe war some years ago
still pur uing the legal practice.
Dr. T. C. Harris, r.ow living
at old Union church in Lee coun
ty, whom we always called Tom,
of course, was rather small at
Martin’s school, but he was like
the Irishman’s pig, “little but
auld,” as I find by comparing
notes, he was of the age of Dal
las Stovall. Hf is another evi
dence of Capt. Martin’s work
manship, and one more of the
old guard to make a doctor. I
was*at the doctor’s home in Aug
ust at the re-union of the John
M. Simonton Camp of old sol
diers, and the memorial day ser
vice for the dead both soldiers
and citizens buried there, and he
has a beautiful country home,
nestled in as fine natural grove
as the country affords, and seems
to be enjoying life, and is still
actively engaged in relieving the
the sick and suffering ones.. I
know of hut one man now living
in Lee countv who is likely to
know anything of Tom Henry
and Ed Garland, of whom I am
now going to speak, and that
I man is josnua warn, uvingiuar
j ly north of Moorecvdle. The on
ly time I ever saw Tom Henry
an l Ed Garland was in 183'), at
old Bageufalah creek, while the
gro mas were being prepared for
the fourth of July celebration,
when Buck _ Owen made the
speech of which I have spoken in
some previous Pen Picture. At
that time I also' made ' the ac
quaintance of Nat Ward who was
a friend and associate of Henry
and Garland. The thing that 1
noticed particularly about Tom
Henry and Nat Ward was their
great strength. I noticed then
driving the posts in the ground
for the dinner scaffolding, which
they did with as much apparenl
ease as I could have driven £
small peg in the ground *with £
hammer, they using great wood
en mauls, and swinging then
over as if they had been men
walking canes. They all cam<
from Tennessee, and^were then
simply on a visit, and did th<
work just to show their strength
for they were cei;tainly unde:
i no obligation to do it. Ed Gar
land was an altogether differen
: man. He was small, rather lov
of stature, and had a kind of dif
: Acuity in speaking distinctly oi
: account of his mouth being twis
, ted to one side from the efleet o
calomel. a'S I heard. But he wa
an intellectual fellow, and eoul<
make a fine speech, so I heard
I knew Nat Ward from then 01
to the time of his death, but
have never heard of Tom Henr,
5 or Ed Garland from that day t
1 this. I guess now, on reflection
: \ that my brother, John Claytor
•. will remember them.
1 While I was- making up th
. j school I taught in Alabama in
!; 1857, 1 approached a middle aged
man who was himself a school
; teacher, and asked him to sub
scribe to my-school. 1 was then
not quite twenty years old, and
beardless, and looked rather
. youthful. He looked me in the
face, and remarked in a rather
cutting way, ’’You are too young
to teach school. ’ Uncle had
posted me about him before I
went to him, so that I felt my
way pretty secure, and I simply
replied, “My friend. I have seen
some old men who couldn’t teach
school.’’ He did not subscribe,
but sent all the while and chang
ed his opinion, and was as good
friend as I had.
In 1854, as best my memory
serves me, Ben Johnson taught
a school at old Andrews Chapel,
then, in Itawamba county, and
which I attended for some time,
walking about four miles. Ben
Johnson was a great hand for
exhibitions at the close of his
schools I remember one he
had at the close of one of his
schools in the Bowland neigh
borhood, in about 1852 or 1853,
at which school brother James
' attended. Johnson captivated
his patrons and his audience by
his skill in. bringing out some
thing new and unusual and, af
ter he left the Andrews Chapel
neighborhood he moved down a
few miles south of Smithville, n
Monroe county, and remained
there for quite a while after the
war when he moved to Johnson
county Texas, where he died
many years ago. About the time
he left the Andrews Chapel
neiyhborhnod. haviny lived while
there at the place known as the
Nathan Riley place, he was
j taken with a very severe cough,
•j and both he and his friends
' thought he had Tuberculosis.
I This lasted for several years,
j and he then began to mend of
that; bu,t soon thereafter he had
a wonderful trouble with his
liver, and his tongue was coated
like a man with tyfo-malariai
fever, except that the coating
on. the tongue was very white.
He also suffered very much.
This lasted during the entire
war and for several years after
wards, when he began suffering
intense pain in the side of his
back, and he was prostrated on
his bed for a long while. Fin
ally, the hurting in his back de
veloped into a boil, as the doc
tors thought and declared. Some
days after the boii was lanced
there came floating out through (
the boil an ordinary siaed sew
ing needle, with the thread close
cut still in the eye of the needle; (
and this needle had been the
cause of all his suffering for all
these years, being about thir
teen years in all. I saw him
only a short time after the needle
ibated out, and saw the needle
with the short cut thread still
in it, and remember very well
how it looked, so soon as the
j needle came out, Johnson got
wen, anu nau im uoaoie.
This was aoout 18G7, I think.
Ben Johnson was a very enter
prising man, and had a great de
sire to assist any wort ay young
man in his education Ho it
was who brought Bon Maniere
to this country. I had a letter
from Maniere only recently say
ing so, but for Ben Johnson's
enterprise and influence, Lee
county would doubtless never
have been blessed with the genial
and lovable Ben Maniere, whose
life has been a benediction to
■ many in old Itawamba and Lee
counties and whose temperance
wave started in 1854, has blessed
many homes and gladdened many
hearts.

it is some what with a hesitancy that
1 undertake to write this article, but.
however, on Wednesday the 2nd day of
August 1905 a large concourse of peo
ple, friends and relatives assembled at
what is well known as the Keyes Ceme
tery in Itawamba county, which has
been the custom for a number of years
to clean off the grave yard and pay the
highest tribu'eof respect to those who
sleep beneath the clay of the valley,
from the infant to those who lived to
old age, husband and wife for more
than a quarter of a century walked the
pith of life hand in hand, with mutual
confidence trust and devotion. What
good effects follow and .low from such
exemplary lives as many of them lived.
By eleven o’clock the yard was nicely'
eloaned otf. It was announced twelve
months ago that Capt. H. S Thomas
would address the people. The people
were called under and around the shel
t and listened to an all together
to; iily enjoyable address. _ Capt.
i . mias spoke in the name of Him who
stilled the tempest on the Sea of Gali
lee There 890 or 1000 in attendance,
at the close of Capt Thomas’ address
a committee of tiue men was appointed
whose dnty it would be to employ some
one to clean otf the graveyard quarter
ly or as often as necessary. Com
mittee consisting of Capt. W. H. Keyes
chairman and treasurer, Capt. R. S
Tnomas, L, E. Gray, W. S. Moore and

order was refreshments.
In the afternoon Elder Duncan
preached to a very attentive audience.
