The wheel of time, in its revolutions, works many changes and in its constantly unrolling panorama of life reveals transpositions and combinations, which partake of the incredible, yet prove the proverb, "Truth is stranger than fiction." These remarks were naturally suggested by a piece of life history extending over an entire generation, the main actors in which are numbered amongst our respected citizens.
Nineteen years ago yesterday four of our citizens, to-wit: Capt. W. E. Chenoweth, Lieut. W. S. Ridenour, Corporal J. Ridenour, and J. B. Daniels, were captured by Gen. Kirby Smith, of the Confederate army, at Richmond, Kentucky, but were paroled after being held but a short time. All four served during the entire war, and, to say the least, it is passing strange that, after the lapse of so many years, they should meet again on the prosaic battlefield of every day life.
