THE COLONIES REeUKE.
An Occasion When the Boys in Gray
Were Not Exactly Consistent


Were Not Exactly Consistent.
[Arkarsaw Travelerl
Ex-Congressman Gunter was, during the
war, proud and impressive officer. He
was not afraid of the enemy and never
sought chance of keeping out of harms
way, but it was well known fact that the
clanking panOply and turkey gobbler strut
of war was to him quite as interesting as
the CLEAN of the bayonet or the
"cannoa's opening roar" In January,
1868, Gunter marched his men from the
northwest down 70 the capital city. While
the men were halted on the opposite bank of
the river, Gunter Wen over into the town,
and while there become acquainted with
several young ladies' In the presence of
these ladies he decided to make an lmpres
sive show; and he told them to stand upon
the hotel balcony, 20 be cheered by his
troops as they passed.
"Now, boys,' said Gunter when he had
gone back to his men, "when you cross over
| want you to march just as gracefully as
you possibly can. A party of ladies viii be
standing ON the hotel balcony. When take
Off my hat and shout, Three cheers for the
ladies of Little Rock, jeff Davis and the
Southern COnfederacy, you must all cheer"
The men were not in a cheering humor.
They had marched through many miles Of
snow. The peacock feather to. them, while
it might have been picturesque, possessed
not that great charm which turks around
loaf of bread and place to sit down. Just
before arriving opposite the hotel on the
balcony of which the ladies' stood, one of
the officers said:
Boys, we've got enough of this foolishness.
Don't open your mouths. Pass it along the
line"
The word was passed along Gunter took
of his hat waved it and exclaimed: Three
cheers for the ladies of Little Rock, JEFF
Davis and the Southern Confederacy"
The men were marching in the most zig
gag and slatternly manner. No one cheered
Gunter "ducked" his head and breathed an
oath as long as plowline. Shortly after
the soldiers passed the hotel. yellow dog
ran into the street Then the men yelled.
Gunter ravei. Standing upon his stirrups
he exclaimed. "Oh, yes, dang you. You
can't cheer a party of ladies, but you can
cheer a dang yallar dog. dang you"
Never afterwards did Gunter place so
much confidence in his men.

and was about twenty feet away from the

way an engineer would run train.

Iknow there are people in Chatta-
nooga that would not get up cut of

from hell; and they are TO be found in
the churches of this city, too, profess
Jag to be Christians.

when you have enough you may 60. /

low Sam Jones tired him. You know
the way home, aHd you may consider
the benedictiOn pronounced, if you
want to go, 80 far as you are con-
cerned.
l would rather have no religion 81
all than the type you have here in
Chattanooga, and it you don't like
that you may lump it. Whenever
my religion dwindles down to the pitch
of the Chattanooga Christian, want
to 90 back to the world and commence
over.
A more innocent game never wa
invented than baseball, and yet they
have got il as rotten as hell, to-day
and | say that whenever Chattanooga
or Atlanta or Nashville or any otheI
city on the face of the earth suffer
this game played on the Sabbath, thai
city disgraces herself, and l would no
wipe my foot on her at the front door
unless it was powerfully muddy.

there is not much difference in churcl

A Word TO Our WOmen--AbOut the
HAIR.

Aud nature swears the lovely dears,
Her nOblest works she classes, U,
Her prentice han she tried on man,
And then she made the leases, VI
Nothing so contributes to the beau
ty OF a woman as neat and we'll kept
hair, and if it is luxuriant and falls in
heavy masses, or is cOiled heavily as
ladies are won't to coil their trcsses, it
presents an attractive and mos beau
tiful appearance. Beautiful hair has
been enshrined in song and story ever
since the world was made, and a
lady is careless Indeed who does not
look after her appearance in this re.
spect. As Solomon has said, "Beau>
tiful hair is the glory ola woman"
while on the contrary nothing is SO
unsightly as a lady with dishevslled
or badly kept hair. Ladies, look to
your hair, and if it is turning gray or
falling out or has dandruf, or wiry
appe arance, there is nothing in the
wsrlj that will benefit it more than
that long celebrated compound called
Mans6eld's La. Creole Hair Restorer.
The Creole ladies have used it for
over a hundred years, and the women
of the South have long since affirmed
the fact that it is the best Hair Re-
storer in the world. Try it and you
will soon have q beautiful head o.
hair which will beautify and orna-
ment beyond the most sanguine ex'
pectation. Don't throw your money
away on trashy and inert lead aDC
sulphur preparations, but buy tn,
"Creole Hair Restorer," and you will
have something that will not disap
point you.

Mysterious Underground Music.

Messrs. John Spellings and Levi
Harlan were digging we'll this week
at the residence of Mr.. r. E. Harlan,
a little over one mile North of town,
when, about fifty or sixty feet down,
they say they heard music like that of
an organette. 1t could be heard only
at one spot, on the side next to town.
They were very much perplexed
about it, and cannot explain the phe-
nomenon. If it were in a rocky
country, they might think the noise
was caused by the trickling of water
in acrevise, but there is no rock near,
and the well is sunk through clay and
sand. They claim that they could
even distinguish the tunes and hear
the paper rattle on the instrument.
The organ at the Methodist church
here-over one mile south ofthe spot
was being played on at the time, and
there is no other instrument near. l.

derground electric telephone between
the two spots to convey the sonud I
