The Tennessee Boys.

CAMP ALGER, VA, July 81, '98.
EDITOR BULLETIN-The Tennes-
see boys here are all very well and
enjoying life, though they are be-
coming restless and anxious to go to
the front. Twenty-Five of our brave
lads have gone to Santiago to nurse
yellow fever victims. The brave
boys received many cheers as they
marched away and returned them
enthusiastically. Our noted yellow
fever doctor, Major Summers, went
with them. We are expecting calls
for more men every day. There
are plenty ready. They did not
get single man out of the 65th
New York Regiment and scarcely
any out of the rest.
Well, we have sham battles al
most every day. Some days our
loss is very heavy. Yesterday was
our hardest fight; many wounded
but the exact number killed / can't
say. Our Regiment was inspected
few days ago and they claim we
stood fine inspection.
Some of our boys had a 'ropgh
house" in Washington the other
day, but they meant no harm. The
furniture they demolished only cost
about $500, and what does that
amount to? Why, Uncle Sans
boys give away more than that ev-
cry pay day to the societies.
We care naught for a pass-when
we get ready to take trip we take
French leave, and come back like
brave soldiers and submit to the
penalty, which | believe is a fine of
from three to five dollars and a few
days Imprisonment in the guard
house-but that's only a nice rest
up for forced march which we adj
mire (?) so much. Oh it's so nice
to be soldier We have only four
or five hours drill both before. and
after noon every day, and you know
that consumes out very little of our
time. My opinion is if the order
was given, "fall in get passes fol-
home," you couldn't do thing with
them-they'd be worse than a cy
clone. Not a piece of these ole
tents would be left, and we would
play ball with our repeating rifles.
Yes, it's awful nice to have a big
fat feather bed to sleep on in pref
erence to these old Virginia rec
hills. You can awake almost any
night and hear these old married
men say, "oh Lord you didn't
stir the straw to-day, did your" but
his only response is from the senti
mel outside roaring, "keep quiet in
there" and with long, sad sigh he
turns over and slumbers away
With best wishes, l remain Uncle
Sans for two years,

St. Katharine's, the Pride
of Bolivar.

We publish in to-day's pa
per an advertisement of ST.
Katharine's School, which
will reopen on Wednesday,
September 18th, 1898. Mrs.
Ware, since assuming the
principalship, has made this
school one of the foremost
institutions of it's charac-
ter in the South. 1t has re-
quired the expenditure of
considerable means and en-
ergy to place it upon the high
plane it now occupies, but
she has spared neither and
has worked increasingly to
gain for it the enviable repu-
tation it enjoys. Moral
ly and Intellectually, it is an
ideal home for girls.
Since last session, an ad-
dition has been made to the
building, known as ''Webster
Hail." supplied with all mod
ern conveniences, with a ca
pacity to accommodate fifty
boarding pupils.
Any information desired
will be furnished with pleas

DROWNED.
The Body of T, G. Stuart
Supposed to be in Hatch
lie River.

The citizens of Bolivar
were shocked Wednesday
morning when it was report
ed that T. @. Stuart had
drowned himself in Hatchie
River.
On the morning above
mentioned, he left home
about five o'clock. When
last seen, he was within a few
hundred yards of the iron
bridge, which spans Hatchie
river on the Bolivar and
jackson road. Shortly after
wards some one coming to
town from the opposite side
of the liver discovered coat,
vest and hat upon the bridge.
The circumstance was report
ed here, and upon investiga-
ton the articles were found
to belong to Mr.. Stuart.
Search was at once commenc-
ed for the body, scores of
people rendering assistance.
All day Wednesday the river
was dragged for a consider
able distance, divers went to
the bottom, dynamite was
freely used and every effort
made to recover the body,
but without success. The
search was resumed Thurs
day morning. Up to the
hour of going to press, l
o'clock, pm, no discovery
had been made.
For some time past, Mr..
Stuart's nervous system had
been badly deranged, and at
times he became melancholy
and respondent, often ex-
pressing a desire to die. The
day before his death he was
on the streets talking to his
friends and seemed to be
more cheerful than usual.
Thomas @. Stuart was born
September 4th, 1915, in Hay
wood County. He was raised
on a farm and followed agri-
cultural pursuits until the
war came on, when he volun-
teered in Company K, 18th
Tennessee Cavalry, Confed-
crate service. He was couri-
er for the colonel of his reg
iment and so continued un-
til the close of the war. AT
ter the restoration of peace,
he resumed farming and in
1869 married Mrs. Henrietta
@. Summons, by whom he
had four children. In 1875
he moved to Whiteville
where he was interested in
various kinds of business.
For many years he was JUS
tice of the peace, and was
one of the best the county
has ever had. His decisions
were seldom, if ever, revers-
ed. He was a man of splen-
did judgment and fine ability
The sympathy of the whole
community goes out to the
aged mother and to the at.
fiicted wife and children.
