Seventeen years from the 10th inst.
the battle of Brice's Cross Roads, or Tishi-

the section of country where it is located.
1t is situated in Lee in the new divis-

is beautiful and undulating. 1t is heavily
timbered with oak, hickory and other trees
indicating strength ofsoiI and is admirably
adapted to grain, corn, wheat and oats, as
we'll IS cotton, fruits, and pasturage The
signs of thrift are seen in the substantial
fences and careful culture of crops which
are as forward as in the most prosperous
seasons. We have never seen finer corn
anywhere than is growing on some of the
places we passed in the neighborhood of
Baldwin and Guntown.
For years it has been the custom of the
people in the neigh borhood of Brice's Cross
Roads to set apart the l0th of une for dec

in the battle of that day. 1t was fought by
the Federals under command of Gen. Sturges

encountered by Forest and Buford at the
