Mr. J. W.

He also offers his stock of goods for sale, embracing a full line of staple and fancy groceries, dry goods, boots and shoes, with a good trade and a handy location. Post Office next door; printing office overhead. A splendid chance for the right party. Will sell stock and building or sell stock and rent building, to suit the parties.

Another Veteran Gone to Rest.

We are pained to be called upon to record the death, on Monday, August 23d, of "Cap. Barnett," that will be remembered by surviving members of the 86th Ill. Inf. as the justly celebrated war horse of Maj. J. F. Thomas. This horse was captured near Franklin, Tenn., in August, 1863, by members of Battery I, 2nd Ill. Artillery, and was ridden to Chattanooga and at the battles of Chickamauga, Mission
Ridge? and Sheppard's Run, and also on the East Tennessee campaign by one of the Lieutenants of the battery. April 13, 1861, Maj. Thomas purchased the horse from Capt. Charles Barnett, commanding the above-named battery, and named him after his late owner. Major Thomas rode him in all the battles of the Atlantic campaign; and when Hood made his flank movement upon Atlanta, Major Thomas rode him back to Florence, Alabama, where the Major was wounded and sent home. Lt. S. L. Zinzer, acting Adjgt. of the 86th, then took possession of the horse and rode him on the March to the Sea. Upon joining his command, at Savannah, Georgia, January, 13th, 1865, the Major again took possession of his horse, and rode him on the Carolina Campaign, and at the battles of Averysborough and Bentonville, N. C., March 16th and 19th, and then to Goldsboro and Raleigh?, at the surrender of Gen. Joe Johnson--in short, in all the marches of Sherman's army, and at the Grand Review at Washington, D. C. After the regiment was mustered out, the Major brought the horse home with him, and used him for several years in his practice, but the past five of six years, he has done nothing except to participate in the services of memorial day and attended reunions, where he attracted about as much attention as any one present. But the old horse has heard his last bugle call--has participated in his last reunion, and has taken part in his last memorial service. Well may Major Thomas say, "Good bye, faithful old friend: you have carried us through many tight places, and I would be less than a man if I did not remember you with lasting gratitude." "Captain Barnett" was in the twenty-fifth year.
