GRAND REVIEW At CAMP THOMAS.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 9-The First
Georgia covered itself with glory in the
great military parade at Camp Thomas to-
day.

Southern regiment passed by the stand of
the commanding general in better form
than did the First Georgia It's company
lines were straight as arrows, its eXecu-
ton fauitloss and The step and time of its
men perfect as clock work The music Of
the band on their splendid new instruments
was a winning auxiliary. TO the First
Georeia's part in the brilliant spectacular
one thing was apparent, the care that the
state of Georgia has given its national
guard has by no means been lost.
The regiments of these states
that have neglected their militia
are Differed nothing Ike as well
few Of the Georgia men fell out IN the
five hours march Entire companies re-
NAMED solid and uubroken, others through
heat lost only a man or TWO, and in none
did the dropping out amount to anything.
Nature was kind and shielded the regi-
ments from the sun, yet admitted no pre-
cIpitatiOn from the rain clouds that stood
guard under the sun until The pageant was
past.
Georgia has every reason to be proud
Of its representation in this review, the
grandcst since Sherman reviewed the
Union forces at Washington at the close
of the civil war.
The Georgia batteries did the best they
could without their equipment in the pa
rade. Battery A has It's guns, but no cais-
son, and Battery h has its caissons, but
no guns. They nevertheless kept up their
part Of the great procession and gave evil
dence Of the intelligent instruction they
had been receiving.
