The Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1885-1886, 1886-09-15

Important as the society is, from
point of prominence of its members, It's
history may be briefly stated. The or>
ganIzation comprises the officers of the
original Army of the Tennessee which
did the fighting on the Mississippi from
Belmont to Memphis, Vicksburg and
Grand Gulf and all the territories, which
was the scene of some of Grants most
famous victories. The army was after
ward under Sherman in his memorable
campaign through the south.
The only members of the society of
the Army of the Tennessee resident in this
locality are Gen. Add. H. Sanders, of
Davenport, DR.. s. G. Plummer, of Rock
Island. and Capt. d. o. Reid, of Mo-
line. The society is entirely social in its
nature Organized before the close of
the war by officers who had long min
gled together in the camp and field. the
association has been continued TO this
day. every year holding a meeting at
some prominent point selected by the
meeting before. While these social re-
unions are attended only by few hun
dTeds and the numbers lessening in num-
Der every year, yet they form large per-
centage of the actual membership-for
few fail in presence who can actually be
there. This will be the nineteenth meet
ing of the society. and the twin>cities are
preparing to give it hearty welcome
cordial and generous as those it has re-
ceived on every similar occasion at other
places.
At the organization of the society, at
Raleigh, N. C., April. 1865, Gen. John
A. Rawlins was elected president, with
Il vice president from each army corps
Col. l.. NJ. Dayton was elected secretary
and continues the recording secretary
to this day. Gen. A. Hlckenlooper was
elected corresponding secretary. in 1866,
and still fills the place. Gen. NJ F. Force
was the same year elected treasurer, and
he is the treasurer yet. In 1869 Gen.
Rawlins died, and Gen. w. T. Sherman
was elected president of the society; and
he still fills the position as no other man
could. This is remarkable, that elected
to their respective positions in the or.
gsnization so many years ago, they are
still there, active in duty. and in good
health, and doubtless long as they live
will be compelled to "hold on to office.

Isaac Bass, of McMinnville, gave
us a pleasant call on last Sunday
evening. He reports the tannery
business as being more active than

Bright sunshine and cool north
western winds, are not so favorable
to corn planting as the weather last
week.
A good many little boys and girls
over the community are neglecting
golden opportunities. We have a
splendid Sunday school, one that is
wholly non-sectarian, and / know
that we could be of some benefit to
many boys who are playing around
home on Sundays, provided we could
have their attendance and the co.
operation of their parents. Will you
not interest yourselves in these mat.
tiers at once? p.

The Weekly Budget of News from a
Stan dard Reporter.

There is a dearth of news in this
vicinity just now, and this being the
case, it cannot he expected that |
shall write very newsy communica-
ton. 1t seems that am not designed
by Fate for good newspaper repor-
ter, for l never know things and
events until they actually come to
pass, while there are few persons in
our community, yes, in all communi-
ties, who know many things before
hand that never happen. Why, |
have things that had no knowl-
edge of, and which would forever
have remained unknown, had it not
have been for that generous philan-
thropic class of humanity who in
stinctively feel it to be their duty to
keep up, manufacture, and publish
the neighborhood gossip. I'll had an
inventive imagination, so to speak, |
could report something whether it
savored of truth or not. Anditseems,
in these degenerate days, that it mat
tiers little whether we speak the truth
or falsehood, as there will be believ-
ers, who will take up and circulate or
proclaim from the house-top that
which was spoken in the closet.
The farmers of this section are quite
busy preparing their ground and
planting corn. Some few will finish
their planting during this month.
Wheat looks quite well. 1t is much
thicker on theground than last spring,
and unless some disaster yet befalls
it, we predict something over an aver
age crop.
There will be no peach crop in this
section, all Of the smaller twigs of the
trees having been killed by the ex-
treme cold weather in January.
Rev. p. Moore preached an inter-

c. M. Rutledge and ]. p. Etter go,

Mr.. SIMPSON is quite busy at pres

Messrs. J. Duncan, j. l.. Gribble,

bird hunting last Friday. The con-

You bet the boys hunted hard all

The young ladies in this part of the
country surely think this is leap year.
The young men come to see the girls
on Sunday, and the girls 60 to see
the young men through the week.
Quite an excitement prevailed in
these parts Sunday night, over a man
by the name of Sam Earles. He Dor
rowed a mule from Ellie Cardwell to
take some cattle to Billy Moffitt's and
sold the mule to Wiley Miller for
$40. He fastened to Increase, bought
him new out-fit-shook the dirt
from off his feet and went to parts
unknown. The last account he was
still at large. The people here are in
hopes he will be captured and dealt
with according to law.

In addition to the news from Wash
ington, which we were enabled to give
in the few minutes left us after the
arrival of the steamer on Saturday,
the information comes direct that the
Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions has been at work on a new treaty
between the United States and the
Hawaiian Government, and actually
reported up the draft, unanimously,
with an argument for its adoption.
Besides maintaining the commercial
features of the old treaty, it grants
the United States the exclusive and
entire use of Pearl Bay, with the
right to establish there coaling sta
tion and shipyard. This proposal in
wolves the Hawaiian Government in
one of the very gravest questions
that the kingdom has ever encounter
ed. To accept it is to abdicate n
measure of independence, as well as
to assume a share of the risks of
Americas wars, almost as great as
that of any State in the Union. To
reject it is tantamount to waving the
advantage of American alliance, If
not even inviting the covetous eyes
of European powers-perhaps invok-
ing a deadly international struggle
for possession of this strategic posi-
ton, without a duplicate in the
Pacific.

about seventy cases having occurred.
All Europe shudders with apprehen-

The demolition of the Sailors
Home and converting the land on
which it stands into kind of
public square would be double
action-the removal of an encum-
brance and the establishment of q
benefit-which all sensible people
will readily endorse. The building,
as it is and where it is, is an un-
slightly object, it shuts out light and
cheerfulness, and is the weak point
of attack on the commercial centre
of the city by fire from that quarter.
More space is very much needed in
that part of the town by the public,
and throwing open this area for the
common benefit would be comforting
an incalculable public boon.

1t may be true that "poets are
born, not made" and not true that
gardeners, farmers, and planters
are also born and not made" Very
few persons who begin their agricul-
tural experience after having given
the early portion OF their lives to
some other pursuit ever succeed.
The successful tillers of the soil are
almost invariably those brought up
to it from youth. The much-yaunted
scientific cultivator who prides him
self on his knowledge of the scien-
tific aspects of agriculture, and re-
lies upon it for results, is always
beaten by the practical man who
has learned by long experience how
to get the most out of the soil.

With the widening Of streets in
the burnt district, is it not time the
Minister of the Interior was decid-
ing what to do with the Beretania
street railroad? AS it lies, it is
nuisance, robbing the public of
more than third of that thorough
fare; a dangerous institution, in
volving damage to vehicles when in
thronged state, as it often is, or on
dark nights to carriages passing
each other. If it is to remain, the
roadway should be graded up to
the rails and horse cars put on the
track. Then the railroad might be-
come a public boon. AT present, it
is SO seldom put to its original pur-
pose of carrying road material, that
it is not worth while maintaining it
therefor. Indeed, in that use it is
even more of nuisance than lying
idle, for the snorting locomotive is
liable to cause fatal runaways.
Tonight the Honolulu music
loving public will have the first
