number of persons were in the habit of oolleoting at the store at Garfield every night during the habeas corpus proceedings at LaFayette. Comments were made on the evidence as it appeared in the papers and we all expressed our opinion pretty freely. We were generally agreed that he was guilty. Mr. Imel said, as near as I can remember, that when such men as Switzer and Hickman testified against him he was compelled to believe them, and therefore he must be a guilty man. I have two good witnesses to bear me out ia this statement."

Troublesome Taylors,

Saturday night was a lively ono at Linden. The streets were full of drunks aud high carnival held sway. Into tlio town cume llarvey Taylor and Taylor Taylor, brothers, and loaded with a jag proceeded to a dance.

A slight youth named Allen attempted to stop them but was pounced upon and beateu in a most vicious manner. besides being struck iu the head with a stoue. His injuries are said to be dangerous.

In the evening his subject was "The Law of Gravitatiou in the Spiritual World." The house was completely filled wilh a iuti-rt ted auiiieuo'i, and tLe sermon was one of the best iur. Luno has ever delivered l.oie. It wa a sound, practical discourse, couched in the purest Euglish, aijd brightened with Hashes of eloquence. The speaker has been importuned by maty who heard it, to have it published, that it may have a general circulation, but his modesty will perhaps prevent its circulat.011 in that manner.

Complete Relaxation" at boutn BendSouth Bend Tribune: A gentleman who chanced to be at Crawfordsville during the recent trial of W. Fred Pettit, says it was one of the worst farces for a trial of so Berious nature, he hus ever seen. There was no order preserved in the court room and everyone appeared to do about as his fancy dictated. The major portion of the male members of the audience spent their time chewing dirty looking plug tobacco and cracking peanuts. Many of those of the female persuasion occupied seats inside of the bar rail and gathered as closely around Pettit as they could get. Some of them did not even go to dinner for fear of losing their seats. Pettit was the central figure and received considerable attention from the women. One man went so far as to lean against the judge's desk during the progress of the trial.

A HAPPY OCCASION.

Oo. B. 120th Eogimeut Partako of Their Annual Dinner—A irleasant Eveut. The members of Co. B., l'2()th Regiment, held thoir annual reunion and diuuer Nov. '29 at the residence of C. B. Nelson, corner of Plum and Jellerson streets. At 11 o'clock about tuirty of the boys formed iu lino at the court bouse and marched to the homo of their comrade, where awaited them a most, royal least, prepared in the most exquisite style. Ample justice was done to tlio elegant repoot with occasional references in contrast with their fare during the Hood campaign just previous to the battle of Franklin of which tomorrow is the twenty-sixth anniversary. After dinner the boys smoked aud told stories and altogether the occasion was a mofct pleasant one in keeping alive the memories of their services in the field in behalf of our glorious Uuiou. Letters were road from several absent comrades among them the 1'ollowiug from Col. A. W. Prather, the commander of the regiment: iv ember 20, 1890.—Capt. E. P.

Tl'..

nibKey.—Dear Friend aud Come:—1 had hoped to be able to join /ou with others of Co. "B." at our Comrade Nelson's, at your annual meeting Saturday, but sickness has prevented. I also intended to give you some of iv.y views "Hood's, (Not your os-

-an^d host but the Kebol General,) I campaign in Touuesseo, which 1 have iu preparation for publication. This will be impossib'o now for the same reason, sickuess provoutiug mo availing myself of data, otc. I hope if alive and well at your next reunion to be present and make up for past derileetions.

Well, boys, let mo congratulate you on your good looks aud yourveiy good health. I always prided myself on the good looks and soldierly bearing of the men of Co. "B," and I was never mistaken iu them in any respect. Much was due to the gallantry und efficiency of the otlicer8, and how well they know their success depended upon the conti deuce aiul obedience of the men. I must say that I believed I commanded the best regiment in the service, audit is oue of the most gratifying events of my lile. If forgetfulness should como to me of everything else in the past, 1 should bo grateful that this which I onteemed the most should bo left me. We had many hardships, our suffering were almost unendurable. Just as the last ray of hope would leave us, roliot would come and the transition was full of joy. Thero has been so much read and sung of the noble deeds, sorrow and distress of the war I eoulc not say anything new, nor more pithetic, than has been done Already, but I will call attention to what I have always felt did 1111 injustice to our regiment at Sprnnr Hill, Tennessee. It lias gone into history that Bnidley's Brigade of Wagner's Division 4th Army Corps, arrived at that point at 3:30 p. m., just in time to save a disastrous defeat. Our regiment is not mentioned, nor are the two companies of the 12th Tennessee Calvary, yut into the lino uniler Capt. Baren.i, ou our left aud who were compelled to remain until permitted to rejoin their llegiment. It is no where stated that our line was assaulted at 12. m., and that up to 3:30 p. re. we had repelled three distinct charges. As much from superior field naueuvers as from determined resistance. Everyone there will recognize the fact that Billy McGrady, with, his able color guard, displayed the two stands of colors and guidons on the dil' fer ut parts of the field and behind the

I would like to have the views of any of those of the 120th who wore with us on that memorable defensive campaign, resulting in Hood's disastrous defeat at Franklin, Tenn., for I consider that he was then whipped—so effectually that if we had assumed the offensive wo would have destroyed him. Yet I am certain the delay wus not disadvantageous to us. It was givingHood more rope that ho might hang himself more effectually. Well I have followed "Hood" Nelson's example, while I am certain, ho could not double discount any one I ever saw and give odds, yet I have concluded since Hood was here and thero was such change for the better in him, I would go and do likewise. I was getting too old for fun and the days were melting into the eternal night that was so sure to come. I ought to prepare for steady hand to hold the tighter as should oroBs over.
