Present.
Griffin, Ga, June 12.-This has been
quiet Sunday for the men in camp here.
Services were held by the regimental chap
lain and were largely attended, while many
came to the city to attend church.
AT an early hour this morning detail
from Battery A came TO the city after
thirty-nine horses which had been receiv-
ed during the night. 1t is fine lot of
stock and if the others are as well selected
as these the government will keep up its
reputation Of owning the best of every
thing
Each horse is marked on the left shoulder
with the letters U. S. and its number is
cut on the left hoof. The others are ex-
pected in short while and no time will be
lost in breaking these animals and teach
ing thern the duties of any army horse.
The uniform for the batteries have ar
rived and will be issued to the men as ear
ly as possible.
The recruiting officers left this afternoon
for their respective posts of duty.
Capt. Gleason went to Savannah, where
he will remain until he has thoroughly
| canvassed that city and that section for
recruits, when he and his aides will go to
| other cities in that vicinity.
| Capt. Bell and his four aides left for Ma
| con, while Capt. Hopkins and his men left
| for Townsville and vicinity. This work
will be rapidly pushed forward until COM
pleted.
| 1t is feared by some the naval reserve
| recruits will interfere with the infantry
as large numbers have recently Joined the
reserve.
President H NJ Conner of the Central
| of Georgia presented Company L with a
barrel of fish which We're most graciously
welcomed by the entire company. A nice
tray full of these were presented to the
Macon volunteers by the Greens as a token
of their esteem for the Macon boys
At 3 O'clock In the afternoon the band
| gave a concert which was a credit to its
members and was thoroughly enjoyed by
all.
The battalion drill at $50 o'clock was
witnessed by a much larger crowd than us
ual, and the soldiers never showed to a
better advantage. Considerable complaint
is made, principally by the privates, In the
delay in paying off the soldiers. Most of
| the men are badly in need of some money.
Many are prevented from writing home on
| account of not having money to buy pos
| tage stamps.

man wanted to take the tidings to the
city. He took a tree branch and ran with
such speed the ten miles that when ne
cached the city waving the tree branch
he had only strength to cry, Victory
and dropped dead The tree branch that
he carried was planted, and it grew to be
a great tree twenty feet in circumference.

your last battle vita sin and death and

great King. Then the palm branch of
the earthly race will be planted to become

joicing

And pearly gates behold,

Brunswick. Ga, June 12.-The Shaker
Society of Union Village, o., have pur-
chased in one body 81 900 acres of land sit

ties. About 50, coo acres are In Pierce and
the remainder in Charlton and Ware. Ho-
boken, a town on the Brunswick and
Western division of the Plant System, is
the point at which town win probably be
built The trade has been on since Janu-
ary but was only finally concluded to-
day and titles have Just been passed with
payments made thereon.
The deal involved about $125000 The
purpose of the purchase is 10 develop a
part of the land for stock and sheep-rais-
ing and TO dispose of the remainder to a
desirable class of Northwestern farmers.
1t is understood that the Shakers win
devote their personal attention to devel-
oping this land. They have already in
vested over $4,000 in Glynn county farms,
and Il is their purpose to eventually move
the entire Ohio Shaker colony TO Georgia.
They have over 100000 invested in Ohio,
and the bringing of this sum to Georgia
will prove vastly beneficial 10 the state.
So far they have invested heavily and
their representatives think Georgia is the
best place in the union to settle in.
