The correspondent of the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal says
Congressman Brundidge of Searcy
was in Little Rock Wednesday
conferring with friends. He says
he will shortly make announce
ment of his intentions regarding
the United States Senatorship.
His friends in Little Rock believe
he will make the race.
One Professor Emery, of Atlan
tic City, N. J., who claims that his
predictions on meteorological
changes for twenty years have all
come true, is out with the state
ment that the earthquakes of the
last nine months have knocked the
earth out of its orbit and that it
cannot possibly roll back to the
proper groove before July 1. It
will be winter, occasionally, until
that time he says.
Editor Bedgood of the Black
Rock Telephone has been having
troubles of his own for several
weeks, but says now that his
troubles are disposed of and the
future never looked more bright
to him. To the man who takes up
the duties and responsibilities of
life with an unflinching persever
ance and pushes onward withagrim
determination to succeed, unmind
ful of the little flings that are in
variably cast at the individual who
thus stands out somewhat above
the plane of mediocrity, troubles
are of short duration. Brother
Bedgood isagood newspaper man,
and we hope his troubles have
only served to further develop his
resourcefulness.

1865 AND 1907
Between these two dates lie
many deeds and many changes.
This June the 5th records the day
in the march of time that Mrs.
i Jernigan and our little girl, Wil
leen, go to Mel bourn to see Mr.
I Smith, Mrs. Jernigan’s father,
wbo is dangerously ill, and not
! expected to recover. But the blue
June day of 1865 forty-two years
; ago today, recorded another event
! in our family history that will
keep it alive as long as my gener
ation exists. We were living at
! our old home place, three miles
north of Newark, where we, like
many of our neighbors, had wait
; ed the ending of the bloody con
j diet between the North and South,
j It came, and with the ending of
| the war, an open door before the
few “old rebs” who had escaped
the terrors of war, as to death,
and they faced for “home, sweet
home. ”
Among these brave boys, was
| one for whom we were all much
concerned. Surrendering at
Greenville, N. C., he began his
journey homeward. He and Crock
Wade were mess-mates and came
i home together. The day is fresh.
I so much so, that after all these
years of ups and downs, 1 almost
feel myself a Id year old boy plow
ing sugar cane on that memorable
June day of 1865. My brother,
Will, Has Baker and many more
of the boys on this side of the
river, had gone to old Jackson
port to surrender. Here the
soldier boys met and my brother,
Tom, and Crock Wade, who had
been “hoofing it” for four years
made a charge on Will Jernigan
and lias Baker and captured their
horses and came into my father’s
about 11 o’clock, June 5, 1865.
That was a joyful'day. Oh, how
my mother’s heart leaped for joy
when she clasped to her bosom
the old solder boy. There he was;
had been gone from “home, sweet
home” for three long, bloody
years and nine “months. We had
not seen his face nor heard his
voice and Only an occasional letter.
How on earth did my father and
mother stand it; aye, as well as
many thousands more, whose noble
sons were at war, and all that war
means? Thank God it is all over!
The like can never be again.
War is a crime; it is murder
pure and simple.
But another little item here that
took place with us, on the 6th. j
We were not done planting corn
(read this again you calamity j
howlers) and “Bud” as we called !
him, dotted his army gray and
donned a work suit and went into
the field on June the 6th and layed |
ott corn rows for us boys. And :
we made tine corn. We boys ,
thought it a great thing to have I
him in the the field with us, and;
he said the “plow handles felt
better than an army musket.”
Here I let the curtain down with
this: My! my! the changes!
Our neighbors, where are they? i
William Austin, Henry Scott, ’
John S. Dugger, David Gibson, <
Tom J. Eaves, Mrs. Adam Hen
derson, Mrs. William Compton
Mrs. Amanda Holcombe; all are
dead, and nearly all their chidren
who were boys and girls with us,
are gone; and on, on we go! What
are we all doing to make the world
better? « '
But three of my brother’s old i
mess mates are now living—Crock |
Wade, in Texas, T. B. Padgett, of !
Batesville and D. P. Tunstall, of
Salem.
May this little remembrance
bring a joy to some heart, is the
wish of the writer.
