sheet of foolscap paper—a very ap-
propriate kind of paper for such a f°ol
commission, for the war was then over,
but we didn’t know it.
Major Taylor claimed that ho had
authority from the Confederate secre,
tary of war to go into Kentucky grid
recruit a regiment of cavalry, and that
he had the right to select his omicers,
ana handed out ills foolscap commi-
siorrs to the boys pretty freely.
I went to Mead county and Ifi a lit-
tle town called Webster I mustere in
one recruit, a young fellow by the
name of Tom Keith. The next day I
heard of General Lee’a surrender, and
at the head of my company (Tom
Keith) I reportd to Mjon Taylor,
who. confirmed the report I. hsd heard
at Webster. Tho men who wen: hid
out to small groups along thg Ohio
river were ordered to meet at Wol
creek landing on the river. A gwat
majority of the young Kentucklars lit
out for home and never furrendered
and were never paroled.
The rest of us boarded a Lonlvile
and Henderson packet—the Morning
Star- and went up to Louisville and
Furrendered to General J. M. Balmer,
who comnmanded the department of
Kentucky at that time.
I gurrendred my company (Tom
Keith, and when provo-mnarshal. Gen-
eral Dill, handl'd him hl® parole Tom
called me to one side and said: "10q

Good-bye, 'captain.' I‛m rawful sorry
we didn't get a whack at them d—dr

That was the last time I ever saw
Tom Keith.
I believe I cnn nay what very few
old Confederate foldins can say, and
tht is that at this late date I can
stiil call the muster roll of my"entlre
company—Ton, Keith, private.
Yes. we are all officers how, and if
iall things come to thofe who wait I
suppose it's all right.
