that has been taken in this direction is the
making OF beautiful drives and putting the
roads in good condition, and we venture the
assertion that no city of its size in the south
can show a larger number OF handsome
private turnouts than are owned by the
young men of Griffin. They have ransacked
the blue grass farms OF Kentucky and the
farms OF Tennessee for tine-blooded stock
and they have got the very best.
J. W. MoWilliams owns a thoroughbred
bay mare, named for the celebrated diva
AdelIna Patti that is one of the prettiest
and fleetest gentleman's driving horses
owned in the state, as she has a record
without training under $40.
Douglass Boyd, son of President J. D.
Boyd of the Farmers and Planters Bank,
has a magnificent dappled mahogany bay

full movers ever seen in the city.

ice works, owns in his dark bay horse
Prince, the finest combination animal in
state

comes to stylish turnouts, and in the after
moons when the bank closes he can be seen

thoroughbred in the city. IL is pony that
is as graceful as a fawn.
Among the ladies too there are some fine
saddle horses, as they are taking quite an
interest in the popular and healthy exercise
OF horseback riding. 1t is probable that
soon ladies' riding club will be formed
when the number Of ladies' saddle horses
in the city will be increased Among those
who own splendid horses are Mrs. 8. II.
Wilson who rides splendid chestnut sorrel
horse; Miss Lizzie Hill who is splendidly
mounted on large dark bay, and Misses
Opal and Matte Smith who ride splendid
bay that goes at an easy and graceful gait.
These and other ladies of this city are easy
and graceful horsewomen.
When the soldiers come here thew will
have every attention and courtesy shown
them, besides good look at the prettiest
scenery in Middle Georgia.
ATLANTA, GA, May S.-To-morrow
Adjt. Gen. Kell will issue his first general
order relative to the approaching state mill
tary encampment at Griffin, which opens
on May "a This order will fix the order in
which the troops will go into camp and
other wise bear upon the encampment
Nothing now remains to be done on the en-
campment grounds but to put up the cleo
trio lights. The material used at Chicka-
manga last year has been transferred to the
new site. and the mess halls, commissaries
and other quarters are now in place, ready
to receive the first detachment.
A matter Of Importance to the
service which will be settled In the order
forthcoming tomorrow is the governor g
order on the cavalry encampment. Ithas
been decided that the First regiment Of
cavalry Of Savaonsh, will go into camp IN
mounted, while the state will pay for the
horses of the Fourth battalion of cavalry,
which includes the Governors Horse Guard
of Atlanta, the troop OF hussars of
LAGRANGE, the Richmond Hussars
of Augusta and South
west Georgia troop. The reason for
this arrangement is that the first regiment
Of cavalry has already had the benefit Of
one state encampment mounted while the
other cavalry companies have not, and the
discrimination against the First regiment
this year is to equalize matters. The mounted
cavalry will be in camp during the fourth
week with the Fourth regiment under Col.
Jones.
