The Fortx-ninth Io,vn.

one of the most pleasantly and effective
ly served regiments Of the entire division
was The Forty-Ninth Iowa. The ladies
were greatly pleased with the gentlemanly
behavior Of the men and the latter were
naturally delighted to have their fair visi-
tors in camp. Both enjoyed the experience.
The ladies showed every evidence of hav-
tng done so, and none could question the
satisfaction of the men. 1t was too thor
oughly patent for that.
Unlike the North Carolinians. the
lowaians were served by companies. And
they were well served There was prob
ably not regiment waited on by the
ladies' yesterday that had a better service.
Under the skillful management of Miss
Myddieton things worked exactly right
Everyone of the chiefs of company forces
OF helpers who worked under her know
exactly what to do and how to do it, end
Inc dinner at the Forty-ninths camp went
OF smoothly and tremendously. There
was a plenty to eat and to spare. Every
man got enough turkey. This was a ques-
uoh that had disturbed the ladies', for
they were afraid there would not be
enough of the popular fowls to give every
man share. Reports from all regiments,
however indicated that there was enough
turkey.
A large body of the Forty-ninth had din

were the soldiers from Dubuque. They
We're rendered the dinner as compliment
from the ladies of the War Relief Asso-
cation of their native city. There were 1876
Oh The men, and they were served with
splendid dinner by Mr.. Charles Graham,
proprietor of the hotel He had made every
possible provision for their gastronomic
i
as the men had not seen since they left
nome. 1t might have been thought that
there would be some difficulty or delay in
me serving of so many soldiers, but it
was done quickly and satisfactorily.
most Of the men We're members of Com
pany b, that command being from Du-
DaQue. The ladies', however, wanted all
lhe men in the regiment from that city
TO nave share of the dinner, so they
were included and came in with Company
b. The trip in and back to camp was
made aboard the cars. Arrived in front
vi the hotel line was formed outside.
lhen, the word being given that all was
IN readiness, the men marched in. They

Deeh arranged Several officers We're also
aIohg, some of the field and line of the
leslment being from Dubuque, and, there
lore, entitled TO the generosity of the la
oles Of their home.
Inc taking of such a number of the
members of the regiment from under their
care for the day made it not quite such
oltflcult task for the ladies' to provide
Tor the rest. The provisions also went
turther than would have been The case
nad they had to go through a longer di-
VISION. Miss MIDDLETON and the soldiers
we're greatly indebted TO the following
iaules who also had bands of helpers I'M
yer them, for the excellence of the food
ana service that was afforded: Miss Nc
AIpin, Mrs. Dougan, Mrs. Cubbedge, Miss
T-rroerson, Mrs. d, r. Thomas, Miss
thompson, Mrs. Chisolm Miss Pape. Mrs.
Mooertson. Mrs. j. P. Williams and Miss
1llier. The company cooks as was the
vase IN all the regiments, were also of
,1st assistance. The men served willing
~ and well, and much of the success
ol me dinner was due to them A great
u ". of cooking had to be done, some of
"e turkeys having been baked for all the
ysHnents at the camps. There were
more Of them than the ladies at their
ZINES and the bakers of the city could
- so it became necessary to enlist
'Ne cooks in the service.
