LIFE IN THE CAMP.
,es Men in the Encampment Now

Than During the First Week.
cptFF1N, GA, June 10.-This has been
che most important day of the encampment
n the Second regiment. 1t was Governors
dav. and a more perfect day it would be
hord 10 imagine. The sun rose clear aud a
rica breeze has been causing a gentle sigh
jng through the pines on Camp Northen all
~ which has made the life OF the soldiers
Gre tolerable. Only routine work in
ANN marked the day until o'clock this
rzning when the review by the governor
cocurred. The signal for his appearances ON
,Ss grounds was the firing OF the salute of
ssysnteen guns by the battery stationed at
the camp. after reviewing the troops
The governor turned to Col. Wiley and
said: "CoL Wiley, | am more thap
pleased with the second regiment.
/ consider it the finest body of men have
aver seen, and l think the state should be
proud of such regiment"
The review was pronounced by military
men the most imposing Of any they had yet
1ri-ressed. and certainly il was ahead of
ANYTHING of the kind at Camp Northen. A
sDecial religious service will be held in the
rsmp for the soldiers Sunday afternoon by
| DR.. 4. d. Campbell, chaplain of the Ameri.
/ Gus Light Infantry.
A GALA DAY.
4 Yesterday was q gaia Jay db lamp
4 Northen. An excursion train came over
/ the Central from Macon and one over the
1 Georgia Midland from Columbus Both
/ broUght large crowds to visit the camps
MANY Of these were the guests of the sol-
| diers and several very elaborate dinner
parties were given at the camp.
The most interesting thing about the
camp now Is the target practice. Two
| companies practice each day, being relieved
/ from guard duties during that time. These
practices are presided over by Lieut..
/ HAYNES of the regular army. There are
three stations from which the shooting is
done, one 200, one 800 and one 500 yards.
Those making rs out of a possible so are
\ entitled to shoot from the 500-yard line.
From the first point the soldiers shoot
standing, from the second kneeling and
from the third lying down.
4 The Macon Volunteers distinguished
4 themselves yesterday and had the whole
camp in an uproar over their broom bri-
gaden on dress parade. Private Sam Hun
ter acted as edjutant. He was gotten up in
an elaborate uniform and mounted on q
urancing stick horse. The music was made
bv tin pans, paper-coveged combs and other
rude instruments The music band was
preceded by the drum major,
little dwarf negro of most
4 groteSque appearance, in q uniform of
Scarlet and blue The whole thing was a
gOOQ take on anu lulul6u5ely enjoyed by
the crowds present.
The Ouitman Guards Of Forsyth have two
twin brothers in their ranks, Walter and
Ed Green. They are so much alike that
many amusing Incidents happen to them.
Col Wiley has ordered tents to be erected
for the use of the guards on duty. These
tents are to protect them from rain, or TO
sit in when overcome by the heat of the
sun.
Last night the Kings Daughters of this
city gave an entertainment for the benefit
of the Spalding Grays.
Miss julia Crowell, sponsor of the Bald
win Blues, is in the city, the guest of Mrs.
E. J. Flemistern.
Misses Mamie Wiley, daughter Of Col
Wiley, Florence Adams aud Frankie Reid
Of Macon, are visiting Mrs. Charles Mills
during the encampment.
