friends, at the Chattanooga
Chickamauga meeting may be
taken as the final adoption of
that hymn as our national
air"
The matter has been a long
time under advisement. Many
verses have been written, many
airs adopted, doubtless with
the hope that the nation would
take up with them, but it
has failed to do so. There have
been several strong candidates
for the place, as Hail Colum-
bia" and the Star Spangled
Banner" bnt america" strong
from the first, has held its lead
and has been chosen. Amer
lea" it's.
The date and place should
be remembered. 1t was on the
slopes Of Snodgrass hill, near
Chattanooga, the spot where
occurred the last scene of the
battle of Chickamauga, and OH
the 10th day of September 1885,
that America" was proclaim
ed the Song of the republic. 1t
was done at a gathering more
truly national" in lis charac
ter than any other that everas-
sembled on American soil. Sew
enty thousand Americans, rep
resenting every section of the
union; every state in the union,
joined in the singing. The vice
president Of the United States
presided over the assembly and
gave the word" and when the
great volume Of sound went
soaring heavenward it was a
blending of the quavering
voices of the old men, the high
er notes of women, the shrill
clamor of children, all mingled
into the great harmony, each
man, woman and child singing
for himself or herself:

Sweet land of liberty,

country, counted as an old
hymn. 1t has been tried and
tested; it has been sung "all
over" in ali sorts of gatherings
of American people. 1t has
shaken the leaves OF the trees
overhead at camp meetings and
mingled with the roar Of the
surf ut seaside resorts. Its
notes have fioated out Of the

terrible accident which happened
at that place to an aged lady named
Miss /. f. Coz ely. The old lady is
seventy-fve years of age and is an
invalid. She was alOae in room,
when her clothing in some way
caught fire. Her sister was in the
kitchen, and hearing her screams,
rushed to her assistance, extin-
gushing the flames with blankets
and by the use of water,
The old lady's clothing was al
most burned off and the skin from
half her body came off with the
clothing.
The usual remedies were applied
by physician but without benefit
as she died Friday in great agony
sMiss Margaret Corely, sister Of
the old lady, was also burned or
the hands and face in trying to ex.
tiuguish the flames. The Misses

ed to fill her place, pro. tenn. which
she did very acceptably. The enter
tainment for Nov. was supper given
upon the eve Of Nov. the 9TH and fur
nished almost entirely by citizens out
side of the Auxiliary. The eatibles
were kindly and generously given and
were most delicious. twenty-five
cents was charged for supper, and
our success was beyond expectations.
Owing to Interruptions another enter
tainment was not given until Thurs
day eve. Feb. 9Th. ga. There was a
literary and musical programme fol
lowed by sandwiches and coffee.
The entertainment for March was an
cold Folks Concert" given the first
week in March and gotten up and
and successfully carried through in a
great measure by friends outside of
the Auxiliary.
The entertainment for April the
young men of the Y. M. c. A. gave
themselves a concert assisted by some
of the best talent of our town.
Mays reception was ommitted, ow-
ing to the various interruptions of the
month. The June entertainment was
for the purpose of raising money to
pay our Indebtedness upon the piano
and was to have been a lawn party
with ice-cream at Mr.. and Mrs. Coop
er's. Owing to bad weather, howev-
er, we had a social evening at the
Hall, selling our ice cream and the
cake so kindly contributed.
For July, Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper
were kind enough to offer us the use
of their lovely grounds and very
successful garden party for the after
noon and evening was given. Upor
the grounds were booths for the sale
of articles, both useful and ornamen

we were enabled to pay off our deb
and still have-a surplus.
