Very Newsy Letter.

To Mr.. T. s. Riley, Mexico, Mo,
CHICKAMAUGA, GA, June 5.-Dear
Friend: AS l have plenty of time and
nothing to do but eat and sleep, /
thought l would write to you for once
Well, l am getting along fine and doing
well. Considering the location it has
been very pleasant indeed.
The park is elevated very much and
lies higher than the surrounding ter
ritory and has a very dense growth of
various kinds of trees and also inter-
mingled with Lizards and rattle
snakes, the latter, which,a you know,
have an inclination to make the eli
mate "eooler." The park is well COW
cred with monuments OF distinguished
soldiers, such as colonies, generals, etc.
There are several standing
in their places as they were during the
late war. You can see from 1 to 8 at
every turn you make and the old sig
nal towers still float their stars and
stripes. have been up in mi of the
towers and you can see TO Chstta-
nooga, where Lookout Mountain and
Missionary Ridge lie. Chattanooga
lies between the two mountains. That
is the place-of about 1 mile across
from base to base of the mountains
where Gems. Hooker and Rosecrans
formed those two famous charges.
Gen. Hooker charged up Lookout
Mountain, which is very densely COW
cred with foliage and Is about IA
miles from the base, storming the bat
teries and capturing them in 90 min
utes; and Missionary Ridge which
Gen. Rosecrans charged and routed
the enemy and captured the batteries.
There are a number of large monu-
ments or Missionary Ridge. 1 think
there are ten in all. There is a cable
line running up Lookout Mountain, 30
the visitors can see the old fort, which
stands as in the war.
The boys are all very we'll pleased
with army life at present, but some
say, 81 had a good home and left it,"
and you can hear a great many say,
"Root hog or die" The latter is quite
true enough, but l am very we'll satis-
fed. am taking your advice: Gas

dial and cheese and crackers. They
would just suit the occasion.

Blackleg In Audrain,

Horace Mundy, who lives on the
county poor farm, has lost two very
fine Shorthorn calves with a disease
which experts pronounce blackleg:
DIR. Ramsay has been busy v%accinating
the calves or the farm to prevent the
disease from doing further destruction.
Blackleg is a disease very much to
be dreaded by cattle raisers. 1t Ia a
disease of microbe growth and is
transmissible as small pox and such
diseases are. 1t is of the nature of a
large running ore in which the
muscle takes the form of a jelly and
is very fever1sh.
