EIOuB SGTEICVH.
A good lady calls the attention OF the Press
and Banner TO the fact that there Is no house
Of worship at the cotton mill, and she eX-
presses the belief that the attention OF the
different denominations in town should be
called to the deficiency.
1t does seem that while we are so much in
terested about foreign people who despIse
our religion and sometimes dine on cold mis-
sionary, we might give some attention to our
brethren at home.

SKETCH OF THE ASSOCIATION

The election Thursday of Mr.. John Joy
Edison to be treasurer of the building fund
OF the Young Mems Christian Association
OF this city affords renewed assurance to
the membership that the movement in prog
ress for new building for the associa-
ton will soon be crowned with success
The Young Mems Christian Association
of the city of Washington was formed in
1862. the SIXTH or possibly the fifth, asso-
citation to be organized on this continent.
Its history has been one of more than
usual interest. No city of it's size in Amer
lea, it is believed, is so thronged with
young men away from home, whose short
hours leave ample time for recreation and
amusement, and, If wisely used, for self
improvement. The transient character of
the population of the city has through all
its history, furnished the association with
membership severely taxing its accom-
modations. which have never been on par
with those of other cities of equal size, in
this or any other country. These condi-
tons, while furnishing the association with
large membership, has made it extremely

GENERAL HORACE PORTER

A Supplement to the Famous
Personal Memoirs Of Gen. Grant"
NJ HILE there have been many
w books written about General
Grant. there was scarcely one con-
tanning personal flavor until the i'm
mortal Memoirs appeared. The latter
work. however. is cast in a modest
mould. and it may be truly said that
the personal side of General Grants
life was never adequately described
until General Porter wrote his book
During the investment Of Chattanoo-
ga by Bragg, Captain Porter was
brought into close relations with
General Grant, which were continued
for many years. He has given his
moments of leisure to arranging the
unique stores of anecdotes and me-
moranda written down during the
great campaign led by General Grant
which ended at Appomattox. The
story presents continually changing
pictures Of rare interest, throwing
side lights upon some of the most
momentous events of the history Of
the Civil War 1t exhibits traits of
General Grants character which give
a better understanding of the man
than can be gained by any other re-
cord Full Of the little details that
show the inner quality; of the great
commander. -(BTooLlyn Eagie) :

FORTY-SIX YEARS
IN THE ARMY
LIEUTENANT-GENERAf
JOHN NJ. SCHOFELD

JUST Issued.
CHORTLY after the close of the CT
y vii War General Schofield prepar-
ed his memoirs to be published after
his death, but as time went on and
the records OF other leading COM
manders were printed and criticised
by the survivors of the struggle.
General Schoheld decided TO print
the work during bis lifetime. 1t COW
ers his forty-six years of service from
appointment to West Point in 1919
to retirement from the command OF
the army in 1895. Anecdotes of fell
low-cadets who fought on the Con-
federate side and of his famous COL
leagues in the Union army abound
in the work. and many new and i'm
portant facts are here told for the
first time, notably in regard to the
battle of Wilson's Creek. the opera
tions in Missouri. and the campaign
Of Franklin and Nashville.
That General Schofeld does not
shrink from controversy is shown by
his comments on Thomas's conduct
of the Nashville campaign. and Sher-
mans march to the sea. His estimate
OF Thomas, Sherman. and Grant is
notable for breadth and the highest
appreciation The book contains
much that is of interest regarding
the history OF the country since the
war 1t is published with a portrait
OF the author and with two mans.
