on the ground all night without any
covering, and we suffered some owing
to the dampness Of the night.
We finally got started -about $50
and we were all glad to get out Of
Chicksmaugus Park. The boys say
Chickamaugua Park means death to
the soldier. We came over one of the
best railroads in the south to Knox

We had beautiful scenery all the way.
Our train pulled into Lexington at

NAMED in the cars the rest of the
night and at 5 o'clock in the morning
we were pulled to our camp, which is
four miles east of town and lays along
the railroad track; so we only had to
walk about 80 rods.
Our camp is located in the center of
the blue grass region. This is the
prettiest country I ever saw. We are
all we'll pleased with the place
and people that live here. They do
everything they can to make it pleas
ant tor us.

pretty and historical place.
The Twelfth Minnesota boys are
very anxious to be mustered out of the
service, now that the war is over. We
were ready to stand by our colors
when there was any fighting to be
done. We have served our country
the last three months by cleaning up
the rubbish of Chickamaugua Park,
and it is against our wishes to 60 to
Cuba to do garrison duty and clean
up the filth of that Island. We have
lost enough Of our boys with malaria

now looking to our friends at home for

A BIG SHOW.
Junior League Gives a Novel Har
vest Festival.

To Mrs. G.. II. Way and Mrs. j. H.
Bowers, superintendents of the Junior
League of the Methodist church, be-
longs the praises of getting up the
best Harvest Home aud Flower
Festival display and entertainment
ever seen in this city, fol-
such was the display seen in
the basement of the Methodist
church during last Friday afternoon
and evening and part of Saturday.
The two ladies. assisted by a number
of the members of the church, had been
busy for overtwo weeks getting up the
display, and as q browning work the
Junior Epworth League society netted
over $50. A thing like this display
and entertainment had never before
been attempted in this city, and it was
visited by probably 400 people.
On entering the basement of the
church from the room above, the first
thing that was seen was a large shock
of corn, and close to that was a well
with the old fashioned wheel and
bucket for drawing water. This was
covered by wild cucumber vines, and
q more natural scene could not be
imagined. The next was boat, and
following that was probably the most
attractive feature of the whole display
corn cob cabin. This was built up
on foundation of vegetables, shea1
grains, grasses and fruits, which would
have done Redwood county honor at {
State fair. The cabin was made o.
corn cobs split and the round side
placed out. The chimney was alst
made of cobs.
The floral show was the most in
teresting part of the display for tn
children. About rs entries had beer
made in this department. Last sprins
the Junior League was divided int
three grades, and each grade wa
given the seed of three kinds of flowers
which they raised. A number o
hand-painted badges we're given t
those having the best display-tw
boys sharing honors with the girls
Another feature was large clock, th
dial of which was made Of watermelo
seeds, and the remainder of it wa
made of pieces of corn cobs. o.
further we're three steps covered wit
twelve kinds of fruit, some of them be
ing Minnesota grown. The last feat
ure was large parlor with an oil
fashioned fire place. This parlor wa
carpeted and at the entrance was

What Clarence March Saw Before
and After.

To THE EDITOR:-A week ago tast
Friday the second and third divisions
engaged in sham battle, which re
suited very disastrous for the enemy.
Our division, which is the third, came
out victorious, ;without):the loss OF a
man.
The following Saturday was field
day. We had all kinds of field sports,
such as hurdle races, running races,
foot racing, wrestling matches, tugs OF
war and everything that would make
it interesting for the lookers-on. Gen.
Breckenridge ordered it to be a holt
day for the soldiers and nearly every
one in the park was there. When the
programme was finished every one
expressed themselves as being we'll
pleased with the days sport.
Sunday, 1 went to Chattanooga,
Lookout Mountain and the National
cemetery. After taking dinner at the
Rossmore hotel l started for Lookout.
I went over Incline No. l, which takes
one oyer the old battle field of Look
out mountain. There happened to be
on the car with me, an old soldier
from Ohio, who was in the battle on
Lookout. He showed me the place
where the Union boys advanced on
the Confederates and gave me very
interesting description of the battle.
After arriving at the top of the
mountain went to the old Confeder-
ate fort, where Col. George Alexandria
with 965 men tried to hold the top of
the mountain against the Union men.
After going through the old fort l
went to the city over Incline No. 2,
and took the first car for the National
cemetery. 1t is large tract of land,
located on large hill which has an
even slope on all sides. tits surround
ed by stone wall, which is covered
with green vines. In the center of the
cemetery is a vine house. This is built
: up with pillars, and green vines are
growing up the sides and over the top.
1t has beautiful drive ways, large
shade trees of various kinds, pretty
flower gardens and is we'll covered
with lawn grass, which is kept cut
with lawn mowers. 1t seems to be
Sunday resort for the people of Chat
tanooga. It is very pretty place and
is said to be the second best in the
United States.
On my return to camp Sunday
night learned the glad news that we
had orders to break camp the next
morning at $50 and move to Licking
ton. When the time came Monday
morning every tent went as if one, and
at 8 o'clock we had everything loaded
on to- our wagons, ready for the march.
About $50 each man took his place in
the ranks and we started for Rossville,
which was eight miles from our camp,
where we took the train. 1t was very
hot morning and the dust was II inch
es deep in the road. At times it seemed
hard to get breath of air, the dust
was so thick. About one-half of the
regiment fell out by the roadside and
waited for teams to come along sc
they could ride to thelstation.
We all got to the station before
noon and the work of loading the cars
commenced. Our wagons and mules
we're all loaded by four o'clock p. m
They we're at once started for Lexing
