The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-05-27

comrades feel that camp life has a LITTLE
pleasure after all Capt. Kolshorn has th'
highest esteem Of the men of his command
and things are working harmon1ously oil
around.
The Blues are having a good time, as they
always have, no matter where they go
The arrival Of Corpl. Gradot in camp TO-
dsy was an occasion for the Blues to give
vent to their lungs, and when the belatec
soldier entered camp he was treated TO G
royal send-of. Willink has found the little
yellow dog he lost at Camp Chiokamauga
about the size he expected tC
find him. The find yesterday morning
was made the occasion of a jollificatior
among the Blues in their street yesterday
There's good joke out on Corpl. Powell.
He slept night before last with one OF his
feet in the water bucket of his tent and
when he awoke in the morning he had to
take run around quarters to thaw himself
out.
Capt. Dixon made those on police duty
yesterday morning do thorough work. For
nearly three hours he had his guard detail
digging, grubbing. sweeping, raking and
wheelbarrowing all over the camp. When
he finished the work Camp Northen pre-
sented as neat an appearance as is possible to
secure.
AN ORCHESTRA.
MP of members of the company. They have
9 tambourine, mandolin, violin, harmonica
and triangle, and at night between supper
and taps the orchestra plays in the mess
ball while the balance Of the boys enjoy
themselves dancing.
The Greens have the attraction OF the
camp in Privates Kehoe, Gallaher and
Leonard. They are q bright trio and keep
everybody in camp in good humor by their
amusing freaks. Leonard secured donkey
and cart yesterday and brought it into
camp. He decorated the outfit with United
States flags, mounted his friends In the wagon
and had picture taken by an artist on the
ground.
During the day Gallaher and Leonard
got leave Of absence to go to town. They
called upon all the prominent officials and
residents Of Griffin and introduced them
selves. They report having had a great
slime, and it is doubtful if any two men
have more friends in Griffin than Leonard
and Gallansr. They headed a detail last
night and called upon the Albany Guards
Of the Fourth regiment, entertaining them
for an hour, and in turn being entertained
by the Albany boys.
THE TRIO OF THE CADETS.
Strobhar, sergt. West and Kielbach of
the Cadets are the great trio If the Cadets
camp. They keep things lively during the
intervals Of duty, and make the duties Of
camp life rest easy upon the shoulders Of
sheir comrades in consequence.
Many of the boys remained In town last
night after taps and they had hard time
IN getting back to camp. Some of them
managed to run the gauntlet back Of the
hospital headquarters, others were passed
In and still others passed the night In the
guard tent An amusing story Is told of
one member OF the First regiment, who got
IN by way of the Fourth's lines. BY some
means he managed to secure the counter
sign. but knowing we'll enough that as a
private he had no right to it and couldn't
pass his own lines he tackled the Fourth and
picked out the greenest looking man on post.
AS he advanced the sentinel halted him
and he gave the oountersign. The sentinel
thought he would call the corporal of the
guard anyhow, and just as he sung out the
First regiment man called out to him: "Y on
- fool, don't you know the surgeon of the
camp when you see him. Pass me into the
lines and stop disturbing the whole camp"
The scheme worked and the belated soldier
got into his tent before the arrival of the
corporal Of the guard.
Surgeon Bacon has been granted leave OF
absence and DR.. Hopkins of the Fourth has
been appointed In his place.
Through Col. Reilly Lieut.. Karow was
yesterday detailed to act as adjutant to the
first battalion Of the First regiment.
II6uG. MOOratn Is making record Tor
himself as captain OF the Greens. He Is a
favorite with everybody in camp.

GALLAHER SEES A GHOST.
Gallagher was the first man at Camp
Northen to see the ghost.
0ellaher was out little late Tuesday
night and got lost. While wandering up
the branch he says all at once a very bril-
liant light shone about him and he heard
something cry murder" Looking up he
saw the form Of woman enveloped in a
fiery flame uncomfortably near him. He
didn't know what % do, but finally started
out to run. He didn't find himself till next
day. and when he did he was near the Pine
mountain. twenty miles from camp. 1t
cost him IS to get back, and he says now he
will not go by another sentry while camp
life lasts.
Jack Leonard presents the prettiest pIct-
ure, trying TO shave himself, Of any man in
camp. By the way, Jack was the first man
in camp to have a fight Il was with his
beard He drew first blood and was de-
clsred winner. The only thing objected to
by the razor was that Jack wanted all the
gate receipts.
The Fourth Georgia regiment is oom-
posed of excellent fellows, So far but lit
tie has been heard from them, except on
parade, and not one Of their companies has
been the least tardY in getting out to pa
rsdes or drills. They will be heard from
later on, and their friends at home will not
be ashamed OF the report, either.
