TO HONOR THE BRAVE
OPENING OF THE MILITARY PARK OF
AUGA-CHATTANO

Great Preparations For the Celebration Of
Sept. 10 and 20, Which Will BE Attend
ed by Thousands of Veterans From North
and South.
Nowhere in the world except in Amer
lea is there any such battle memorial as
that furnished by the national park on
the backgrounds Of Chickamauga and
Chattanooga, to be formally opened on
Sept. 10 and 20. This park is to the
west what Gettysburg is to the east,
and, although the task of marking the
lines Of battle, the positions of different
bodies of troops and the spots where ex-
ceptionally severe fighting took place
has not yet progressed as far as at Get
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1895-09-19


tysburg, yet very much has been done,
and those who visit Chjckamauga for
the first time on the days of the coming
celebration will, no doubt, be greatly
surprised at the extent of the work.
According to the last report of Secre-
tary Lamont, the park now contains
5,521 acres. One thousand more acres
are to be added, and were it not for the
exorbitant prices asked by the owners Of
adjacent lands still more would be
bought Forty-on miles Of road have
been built, and state commissions and
committee from the Society of the Ar
my of the Tennessee have been occupied
for months in locating the lines of bat
tie. Troops from the following states
took part in the engagements commence
rated: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
New Jersey, New York, North Carroll
IA, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wiscon-
sin. Nearly all of these states have ap-
pointed commissions, and it is expected
the legislatures of all will eventually
take proper action.
The establishment Of the park was
authorized by act of congress in August,
1890. In commendable spirit of pa
triotic cooperation the state of Georgia
has coded jurisdiction over the Chicka-
manga field and the roads approaching
it to the general government, and the
state of Tennessee has coded jurisdiction
over the roads across Lookout mountain,
through the "above the Clouds battle
field, the road thence to Rossville and
the road from Rossville along the crest
Of Missionary ridge to General Sher-
mans position on the north end thereof
The government has purchased Orchard
knob, where the headquarters of Gener-
ais Grant and Thomas were located on
the third day, and also that part of Mis-
sionary ridge where General Bragg's
headquarters were situated. Five OBJ
servation towers of iron and steel, each
20 feet high, have been erected by the
government-two on Missionary ridge
and three on the field of Chickamauga.
Two thousand cast iron tablets, each
marking some important event, have
been set up. Each of these is by
8 feet in size and bears all inscrip-
ton in plain white letters embossed OIL
a black background. These tablets deal
impartially with the men of the north
and south, the inscriptions indicating
the headquarters, positions and charges
during the various fights. Seventy guns
mounted on carriages, such as were used
in the battles, indicate the principal po-
sitions occupied by the batteries at
Chickamauga Eight pyramids of heavy
shells, each 10 feet high, have been
erected to show where brigade COM
manders, both Union and Confederate,
were killed. The eight commanders
thus commemorated were Brigadier Gen
eral W. H. Lyle, U. S. A., command
ing the first brigade Of Sheridan's divi-
sion, killed Sept. 30; Colonel Philemon
P. Baldwin, U. S. A., commanding
brigade in Johnson's division, killed
Sept. 10; Colonel Edward A. King, U.

IN the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards liniment For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name "Dr. Wards"
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of tOing and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found SO lost to every principle of right and
justice as to undertake to despol him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
.siust as good as DR.. Wards" frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his bust
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
world wide right to use his name as a trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
No. 1856.
All customers are hereby cautioned to see that

UNION CITY, TENN, JULY, 6, '99.
 ED. MoNTlCELLoNIAN:-Ten days ago, I left Monticello. Never can 1 forget the affectionate farewell at the train. Never can 1 forget the many kindnesses shown me by the good people of Monticello dur ing my stay of eight years among them. 1 spent four days at Pine Bluff and then come to Uuiop City.
 A few days ago, 1 attended a discussion of the "Money Cues tion" between Col. Josiah Patter- son, NJ. c. from the 10th Tenn. Dist. and Hon. E. w. Carmack editor of the Commercial-Appeal. Each spoke for an hour and forty minutes to a crowded, but atten- tive house. Both are masters of debate. Col. Patterson indulged only in plain argument while Mir. Carmack interspersed his speech with repartee, satire, and humor. It was a battle between giants and each drew off, at the close, in good order. The people, judging from the demonstrations, were with MT. Carmack, yet I find a strong sentiment in favor oi "sound money"

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Celebrated, in Grand Style at
 Wilmar.

W1Imdf.
 On Thursday, of last week-the 4th day of July-there was q big barbecue at the enterprising town of Wilmar, this county.
 A large concourso of people as- sembled early in the day, and at 10 o'clock the exercises began. The first thing was beautiful song by the choir, after which Dr. John McLaughlan, of Monticello, offered up an earnest, eloquent and patriotic prayer, then another song. Next Mr. Oscar Wade, of this city, was introduced to the large audience by the Chairman MT. 1. A. Bird, one of Wilmar's s most enterprising citizens. Mr. Wade delivered an excellant ora ton, historical in its scope and filled with pathos, poetry and the spirit of true patriotism. He car ried his hearers with him back over the fields of Yorktown, Bunk CT Hill and Lexington, and made them realize that the blood of the revolutionary heroes were not shed in vain; lnasmuch as the gen. eration of to-day are reaping the reward of thoir valorous achieve 1 ments. MT. Wade's address was well delivered, well timed and rapturously applauded.
 Another sweet song by the choir, and the editor of the MoNTI- cRLLoNIAN was introduced to the audience, and occupied the stand for a short time. At the conclus- ion of his remarks, dinner was an nounced, and the crowd ot women men and children repaired to the long tables which stood near by in shady grove, and were laden cd to their utmost bearing capacity with meats, breads, cakes, pies, salads, pick les, &c. It was such a spread as to make glad each hungry soul, and full justice was done the temp ting meal. The meats were well cooked and well-seasoned which showed that an expert had been in charge. The very best of or. der prevailed throughout the din- ner hour.
 After dinner and a short recess had been enjoyed, the programme opened again, and the evening was spent in athletic exercises, such as novel foot-races, climbing q pole, by means of pegs, baseball, &e Tas, e-ztesif,ass sing people of i Wlimar haid spsfod zo pa;ns tc en- tertain their guests and most roy. ally did they do so.
 People from all over Drew coun- " were in attendance, and many were there from the neighboring counties of Bradley and Cleveland and so tar as we could learn every one left for his or her home we'll pleased with the days pastime and with the kindliest feelings for the good people of Wilmar, who were untiring in their efforts to make the occasion a pleasant one to the many visitors.
 Now in conclusion, we say, three cheers for the energetic peo pie of Wilmar. May they live to enjoy and celebrate many more 4th of July days and always have as ce a time as on this occasion

A PIONEER AT REST.

In our last issue we mentioned the death of Mir. Abe Hammock but lack of space, at that time, prevented more extended notice. "Uncle Abe" as he was familiarity called, by his hundreds of warm friends. was cue among the first to settle in Drew County. He came here in 1889, and opened a farm ear Montongo, eight miles North of this city, where the ma jority of his remaining years were spent. Mir. Hammock was born in Georgia in 1S14, and was at the time of his death in his S1st year. Mr. Hammock was a good man and a good citizen, and his word was his bond. During his long and usefel life in our county he was and explar and leader in his community. He came here with, or among the first settlers and lived to see his adopted coun- ty grow out of a wilderness into a prosperous and populous condi- tion. In hls old days, he aban- doned the old homestead and lived with his children; great portion of his time being spent in this city, at the home of his son, Capt. J. II. Hammock, from which place hls spirit took it's flight to that blessed abode, eternal in the Heavens. His remains were laid to rest, by loving hands, at the Old Camp Ground Cemetery, near where his life had been spent, on Wednesday of last week. Truly it may be said of him, that good man has gone out from among us.

ONE BY 0HE THEY GO.
On the 2nd Inst, at the Residence of His Son, Cap; ] H. Hammock.

DIED-Abe Hammock, in the Slst year of his life !ils last ili- ness was Iorg and severe, which nothing hut q staIwarl frame could have withsteo4 SC long In speak ing of this friend (for such be was) the injunction of the ragan, De 4HoHuiS M NjSa' is torceless. A be Hammock was born in Mrri- weather County, Ga, so years, l months and 8 days ago-on whose rocky fielis and limred streams his boy-hood days were passed from whose health giving breezes the material which entered into the makeup of robust manhood were gathered. His early manhood found him talk ing the course of the Star of Elm, pire. Passing the threshold into Barber County, Ala, he found Mir. Edward Landingham, his future father-in.law, and removed with him to Arkansas and settled on Bayou Bartholomew in the early spring of 's9. The year follow ing, they settled on q lovely spot ten miles North of the present site of Monticello, when in 1S40 he married the woman of his choice, Miss Martha Iandingham. to whom his loyalty never faltered for moment. Eight children were born to him. Five of which survive him.
 Since July 31st, 1871, he has mourned his wife in widowerhood. A member ot the Baptist Church for fifty years, his religion was broad and catholic. He used it HIS q compass to direct him in the path of duty to his God and fellow men. In the affairs of men, he was Iust but relentless judge, never con doning wrong against him nor his neighbor.
 Like the imprisoned Monarch (whose life went out on the storm rock ed Island Of the ocean) his de- sires was that his mortal body should not be buried where fl fell, but to rest amid the scenes of his early triumphs and among those he had loved so well. Ills wishes were religiously complied with, and to-day he sleeps on the much loved spot, side by side with the loved and lost.
 Fortytwo years ago the writer, then stranger and q youth, met "Uncle Abe" Gas we all love to call him) and received from him generous welcome. There was none of the greetings ofthe sturdy pioneers ot that day (now all gone but few) whose cordiallty I re- member so kindly. And from then to yesterday the strong chain that bound us together was unbrok en through all those long and eventful years. claimed him as my trusted friend and his death to me is q personal bereave e. ment. These partings would be cruelty sad but for the belief that the flowers of lifelong friend ship are not lost in the grave and that we shall meet again.
 When the King of Argos was condemned to die to appeaso the Gods in the ages before the chris tian era, in answer to the appeal of his stricken wife to know if they should meet again, said, II have asked the dreadful question of the hills that look eternal, of the flowing rivers that lucid flow forever, of the stars amid whose azure my raised spirit has trod in glory; all were dumb, but when now gaze upon your low ing face I know the love it kindes through its beauty cannot perish; re ShdH meet again."
 Rest to his soul and flowers for his grave.
