GOOD MORNING, GROUP!!!!! Seven years ago I ran across the article in the "Confederate Veteran" Magazine. I have told this story several times for the past few years and had intende to tell it at the Reunion. This article just goes to show you that Maupins are "witty" and "have a sense of humor". WARNING!!! IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH OR ARE A LOVER OF ANIMALS PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS ARTICLE!!! OFFICE OF THE DAY ATE THE DOG In 1861 the Fourth Georgia was eight miles from Norfolk, at Camp Jackson, and Lieut W--- was officer of the day when privates Warren Mosely and Tom Maupin went over to the farm of Mr. Ames, bought a mutton, dressed it and returned to camp. The lieutenant took the mutton from them and later ate it. He accused them of stealing it and threatened them with arrest if they should do such a thing again. They felt hurt, and decided to even up. Soon this same lieutenant was officer of the day again, and Mosely and Maupin went over to Mr. Ames's place, killed a large fat dog, dressed the two hind quarters, placed them in a sack, and returned to camp. Lietu. Walker took the sack and had the men locked up as he promised. Just after Lieut. W--had finished dinner, with some invited officers to share his supposed mutton, Mosely and Maupin began howling and barking in the guard tent, and Col. George Doles wanted to know why, and had them brought before him to see what they were howling about. They showed the feet of the dog and said, "Lieut W-- and friends have eaten dog for dinner," which at once made vomiting in order "Who ate the dog?" was a query so conspicuous in the regiment that the officer resigned and went home, to return no more.
