Military authorities have on their visits
to the park frequently pointed out its
magnificent strategic advantages in case
this country became involved in o war
with foreign power. They have noted
that the southern and gulf coasts, the
most vulnerable points on the seaboard,
would be most liable to attack. Chicka-
mauga is practically the center of this half
circle Of exposed ground inviting the on
slaught of an enemy.
With splendid railway facilities, reserve
stationed at the national park could be
quickly rushed to any point of attack.
There is no point SO faYOrably situated for
hurrying forward our troops in any direc-

Old soldiers grow enthusiastic looking

Nearly every spot was the scene of
American valor that would inspire the
men, II any inspiration were necessary, to
do like valiant deeds. The battle of Chick
amauga was one Of the most notable in
stances of pluck and endurance Of the
civil war. 1t was one Of the deadliest Of
modern warfare. Its strategy will long
hold place in history. No less than eight
generals fell on this field

discovery was made while boring a
well, the drill tapping three veins at
depth of 90, 100 and lob feet re-
spectively. Mr.. Devinney immedi-
ately had the well piped, with con-
nections to his house, where the gas
is used for cooking and heating pur-
poses. An encouraging fact is that
the flow of gas is steadily increasing,
and now has pressure of %! pounds.
The local gas company examined the
well. and there is a possibility of Rock

natural gas.

The New Time Card.

The new time card on the Frisco went into effect yester- day, and it will be found on this page. No. 3 only runs to Fayetteville, where it turns around and comes back as No. 4. People who desire to go to points South of Fayetteville at which the cannon ball does not stop will have to ride on the local freight or go and come at night.
 With the inauguration of the new time card a new sched- ule of prices for passenger traf- fic also went into effect. For instance, the fare to Fayette vile now Is 28 cents, Rogers 32 cents, Johnson B cents and Lowell l6 cents. Formerly the fare to Fayetteville and Rog CTS was 30 cents and to John son and Lowell 15 cents. Sim liar charges were made to all points, and now a person pays for exactly the distance they ride. No more and no less.
 This system of charging for fractional miles is in vogue on a number of roads, but this is tke first time it has ever been used by the Frisco. It will put lots of pennies into circula- ton.
