Dear .Sir: New? at Chicka-
manga at present is all war news.
The fourth of July was celebrated
at Chickamauga as it never was be-
fore in any city in the South. The
programme was very patriotic and
extensive, the scenes were very inter-
ring and impressive. And almost
very regiment in Chickamauga
Park celebrated Independence day
with appropriate exercises. It wan
a day of almost universal frolicing
and merry making. However the
Second Arkansas was an exception
to this rule. On July the 3rd the
angel of death passed over our reg-
iment and took from Co. K. our
comrade Sylvester Weaver. I was
appointed on a detail to proceed to
the National cemetery with and in-
ter the remains with military hon-
or of our our departed comrade.
About a. in. we left headquar-
ters of-nd Ark. and proceeded to
the Leiter Hospital where his re-
mainb were placed in a wagon and
Spain can resist American oppo-
sition much longer.
All nations ul tin ""'J'1 "" conveyed to the national cemetery
in declaring that . me - .... a distance of twelve miles. Wear
ries are marvelous, yet there is, no
doubt, an under current of jealousy,
on the part of other nation-,
against the United States.
When this «ar is over and ;>lter
ne have recovered, financially,
from the effects of it, the American
navy should be strengthen^.
Kvery state in the union should
Irnild and equip a battleship.
Other nations should be made to
fevl that while we prefer to dwell
in peace with them, if war is forecd
upon us we can subdue all nations
of the earth.
The Demoikat believes that
if every state in the union would
cnuip a ship a friendly contest
would spring up among the states,
,ach one striving to --urpass all
others, which would result in a
unvy surpassing the combined
navies of the world.

few people there, only one lady at-

says: "Soldiers will either of yon

our journey to camp through a
heavy rain, On our arrival we
were notified of being on detail for
out post duty at Cave Spring a
point about two miles from our
camp. • Here we remained forr
days. Half the company being
detailed for guard duty every other
day. anil notwithstanding the fact
that we wire on duty day and
night each time when we again re-

Friday before our return to camp
on Saturday, the paymaster a most

So many-attribute our refreshment

Georgia farmers who appeared with
their famous Georgia water melons,
their fine chicken pies, cake and
fruits of all kind. Beans, beef,
pin ch and spuds went begging for
some time and it also seemed that
Cave Spring's crystal glitter had
less attraction.
Most of the soldiers at Chicka-
mauga are now happy. They have
all been paid and tiie jingle of the
guiena helps the huit that honor
feels.
We are all jubilant over the re-
centjvictory by land and sea and
don i have any idea when they
will leave here. We think tho war
will soon end.

The l"iiNiiN|H*ctinjf Likely to be

Past experience has taught the
writer some things that will he of
great use to him in the future. He
has learned that when he goes to
the court hoiifcc, it is best to conceal
all cigars, moneys and valuables
under the side walk. He has a de-
pository not far from Cleveland
county's temple of justice and be-
fore entering, lie leaves everything
behind, even to tooth picks.
Last Monday he strolled into the
County Treasurer's oflice. After
a few preliminary remarks about
the weather, etc. at the same time
feeling around in his pockets to see
whether or not he had anything of
value left on his person, he ventured
to ask for the news, "No I have not
any news," said the Treasurer "but
I guarantee that you cannot guess
within ten thousand dollars of the
amount of money this oflice has
handled during the past year."
uHold on" said Supt. Cralle, "I
will go you the treats to the house
that I can guess closer than you."
Remembering that we had the re-
putation of being born ugly but tcr
ribly lucky, we were not long in ac-
cepting the Superintendents proposi-
tion. We misled the amount f75,-
000 and Mr. Cralle guessed within
one dollar of it.
County Treasurer Aniol stated
that Mr. Cralle had been informed
of the exact amount, which was
$1 19,874.05, about two minutes be-
fore we arrived.
That is not the worst feature
however. Several individuals were
concealed under the tables and when
we lost they claimed they were en-
titled to the treats as the wager was
made for the benefit of the house.
Evidently it was not made for our
benefit.

The Itiylit Kind of a Friend.
I was seriously afflicted with a
cough for several years, and last
fall had a more severe cou<*'h than
ever before. I have used many
remedies without receiving much
relief, and being recoiutuended to
try a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, by a friend, who,
knowing me to be .1 poor widow,
gave it to me, I tried it, and with
the most gratifying results. The
first bottle relieved ine very much
and the second bottle h;ts abso-
lutely cured me. I have not had
as good health for twenty years.
