the forlorn look on the faces of the veterans when informed that we were prisoners of war. We had served three years and eight months; had been in all the campaigns and battles and inarches of the army of Tennessee. We hd one consolation, how-ever; we had held General Lorren's Division from 'i o'clock until the next day at 10 o'clock before we were compelled to surrender or be annihilated. That gave General Sherman time to order General Corse from Home, Georgia, to reinforce the garrison ut Altoona Pass. General Corse had got in to Altoona while we were lighting in the forenoon.

We were marched away through the valley under the escort of the (ith Mississippi Regiment of infantry. We could see Sherman's advance guard on Kene-saw Mountain at the signal station. They were signaling over our heads to General Corse to hold the fort at nil hazards for "I am coining." This we did not understand at the time, hut it was that famous signal from which the song, '-Hold the Fort," was taken. We were marching about lil'teeu miles that afternoon, camped near the headquarters of General Hood and a strong guard placed around us. Without any supper or blankets we lay down to sleep.

At daylight we were routed out by the rebel guards and marched live miles to the headquarters, where we received one hardtack and a small piece of native beef which we roasted on the end of a stick. That was the iirst we had eaten since the morning before. Here our guard was relieved and the 11th Tennessee Cavalry took their place. We marched to a town called Newimn and here our guard was again changed, the rebel cavalry going hack to the front anda regiment of home guards taking charge of us, who told us they were going to "tote" us to Andersonville. On the third day after being captured we arrived at Columbus, Georgia.

Here we were put in the jail yard for the night. We were given three crackers each two meals in three days. These guards were old men past f0 and boys in their teens; and the most ignorant set of beings we ever saw. They wanted to know what "youans" come down here to tight "weuns" for and "weuns" didn't go north to tight "youans." You are a set black abolitionists, comedown to take niggers. Poor fools, not one of them ever owned a nigger.

We thought the citizens of this phice would mob us. They gathered around us, old and young, male and female, and called us all kinds of names. The old women, with the stain of tobacco juice on their lips and running down their chins, could discount their male companions in abuse. They even looked for horns, which they had been told the yankees wore. This was a popular belief ignorant southern whites who had never seen a yankee.

HeforC daylight we were ordered on board a train of Mat cars and sent to Macon, from there thirty miles south. They "toted" us to Andersonville prison pen, that living death for nearly eight months, where we were among the dead and dying. We were ordered from the cars and under a heavy escort of guards marched to the prison pen, which was about half a mile from the railroad station. We were halted in front of Captain headquarters. He was coin-mander of the prison.

He soon made his appearance, a little, dried up old man, with a long, peaked face, small grey eyes stuck back in ids head, (Continued next week.) The brick are on the ground for the walk in front of the hardware. R. TV Jones writes to have the Review sent to him at Wetinore instead of Centralia.

Mrs. Jennie Booth, whose iraiden name was Jennie Carpenter, was born in Halifax, Novia Scotia, Sept. 16, 1841, and departed this life at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Channel, near Havensville, Kansas, July 5, 19C5. She was married to Thomas Booth in Lawrence, Sept.

25, 1862. To this union were born four sons and three daughters. All remain to mourn the loss ot a kind affectionate mother, except one son who died in early manhood. She with her husband came to Kansas over thirty-five years ago and shared in the toil and hardship incident to pioneer life in Kansas. Nov.

27, 1893, her loved companion was called away to the better world. She was a member of the Episcopal church nearly all her life and lived an upright christian life. She had been afflicted for some time and last winter was taken violently ill. She lingered sometimes a little improved and then worse again. Now hopes were entertained for her recovery only to see her sink lower by the fell hand ot disease.

She grew anxious to depart and prayed that her going might not be delayed. On the early morning of July 5, in the 64th. year of her age, as the shadows of night were driven away by the light of day, her weight and shadow disease and pain were dispelled and she was in the light of eternal day. "Oh dentil wlipreiH thy sting, Oh grave where la thy victory." The funeral was held from the old family residence, conducted by E. L.

Butler, Pastor M. E. church, Corning assisted by Rev. N. McAferty of the U.

B. church. The body was taken to Soldier for burial. In this sad hour of sorrow and affliction the family have the sympathy of the entire community. C'AKD OK THANKS.
