RICHMOND COUNTY

Private Linzie R. Pate, Rockingham, wounded severely.

Pate’s name appeared in the list of wounded issued last Tuesday. It will be remembered that on June 12th his brother received a wire from the War Department stating that Linszie had been wounded May 28th. It is not yet known whether this is a second wound he has sustained, or refers to the first; probably a second. He at one time worked at the Hannah Pickett cotton mill, and volunteered last summer.
