The new addition to the store oc-
cupied by Hopp & Co. on King
street is undoubtedly built in ac-
cordauce with the present sire limit

the safety OF the town is promoted
by the erection OF brick shed,
which undoubtedly does credit to
the builders but is neither orna-
mental nor a guard against an
eventual confagration. Why not
build "four-story" house on the
site, and if that cannot be accom-
plished let the trees overhanging
the sidewalk of Bethel street be cut
down at least. Where is that Road

quircd to keep tho soldie's furn-

We read Of armies of $4,000 and

They had no railroads or rolling
stock in those days, and the
question is, how did they manage
to feed so many people? A sold
ier, with his arms and armor,
could not carry much food with
his camp equipage, and must
soon run short Of rations. If the
soldiers fed on the flocks ard
herds it will puzzle the inquirer
to know how the flocks and herds
fed. With self-binders, flour
mills, slaughter houses, canning
factories and railroads, there is
quite task in feeding 50,C0)

the ancient warrior fed sparingly
his historian must be poor hand

REAL LIFE IN CAMP.

or OF Cne E1arrlSOn Times WHO IS
in Co., x, End Ark, Volunteers.
"Another week of sWeltering
heat has reminded lis that the
comfort Of a soldiers life is large
ly dependent upon the weather.
Not only do we find the drills and
camp duties under almost tropi-
cal sun fatiguing in the extreme,
but even the hours of leisure in
our tents are robbed of pleasant
rest by the heat. | imagine,
however, that the folks at home
are experiencing similar difficult
les, so we should not complain.
although our sick-list has
increased considerably Of late,
none of the cases are serious, and
most Of them will have fully re-
covered before the news can
reach home. The worst cases
are packed like sardines into the
ambulance and taken to the di-
vision hospital, while mild cases
are attended to closer at home.
Far the greater number are eth
er lazy, homesick or are afflicted
with imaginary ailments; and as
work is all they need, the sur
geon gives it to them in two
ways, by prescribing heroic doses
of castor oil and marking them
for duty'-then the captain must
drill them whether he thinks best
or not, and they are pretty sure
to get the exercise in spite OF their
protests. A few inflicted with
incurable diseases are issued dis
charges as unfit for service.
Only one from our regiment has
been given the distinction SO far.
"Since payday our boys have
been buying cots and flooring
their tents, and the hard lines OF
the soldier will be very much
modifi ID, as long as we stay here
atlcast. How long that .gwil.. b.
is wholly a matter OF conjecture;
some Of our principal officers are
strong in the hope that we may
be included in the Porto Rican
expedition, but most Of us in
cline to the belief that Spain will
sue for peace before her defeat
bee ONES more costly. AS the
conservative statesmen of our
country are opposed to the ac-
QUESTION Of detached and other
wise undesirable territory any
way, it is likely that Cuba's free
don and a war indemnity is all
that will be demanded, an | Spain
must certainly regard this as
reasonable. In the hearts OF
tho best Of Americas people this
war has not been prompted by a
desire to win territory, valuable
or otherwise, but by a sturdy de-
termination to resist injustice and
oppression, ev;n though it be
practicod upon our neighbors of
another nationality; and, having
done this in o manner humane
as we'll as heroic, lot US be un-
selfish in gathering the spoils OF
our victory. Certainly such a
course will set free America up
as u model for all nations Of the
earth. .. ... $3.50 ..,...

"Whatever else may be denied
us on account of our isolation in
camp, we have ample opportu-
nifty to attend religious services
of almost any sort as often as we
/.
wish. Each Of the sixty regi-
ments and batteries on the ground
have chaplains, and all Of them
are men Of superior ability, both
as to eloqucnce and religious
reasoning. On Sunday last |
had the pleasure of listening to
parts Of sermons by chaplains Of
Maine, New York, Vermont and
Iowa, and our church. loving peo-
pie at home would have travelled
many miles to hear any one Of
them. With but half an hours
walk our boys may listen to any
of the chaplains Ct twenty states,
and | am pleased to see that
many realize these privileges.
The sermons Of these good men
are usually full of comfort for
the soldier boys as well as good
precept, and all but the most
hardened enjoy them. But here
as well as elsewhere the opportu-
mites for evil seem to thrive by
the side of the better institutions.
Oa one side Of the street is con-
spicuous a flourishing Y, M, G..

entertainment, may be found.
On the other side a "canteen,"
/. e. a saloon owned by the sold
iers, the proceeds of which so to
the soldiers when running eX-
penses are paid. A few stiff
games of poker grace the vicin-
ity, and crap games flourish in
abundance. Besides these IL
guilds, seven carloads of beers
are consumed each day on the
grounds. The other day one Of
our innocent boys asked a can
teen keeper for a drink of water.
I'VE don't handle it, was the
laconic reply.
Crowds are always interest
ing and crowds Of soldiers are
especially 50. But with the sold
iors at Chickamauga are many
civilians, probably $4,000 a day,
counting visitors and attaches OF
different commands. There are
thousands of mules and horses
scattered in different stockades
and attended by a small army Of
men. There are hundreds Of
mules toilsomely tugging at army
wagons hauling supplies There
are freight trains rolling into the
depot and coming. There are
acres Of covered wagons, noun
tains Of wheels, mounds Of small
cannon, now valuable only aa
old brass. There are batteries ol
artillery ready for use and regi'

REID KENNEDY.

Notwithstanding the heavy down
pour of rain that commenced falling
about 6 O'Clock aud continued 10 come
down away into the night, the Metho-i
dist Church was crowded on Tuesday
evening last to witness the marriage
Of Miss Dollie Kennedy TO Mr.. VIII
Reid.
The church was lavishly and band
somely decorated by the dear friends
OF the pretty aud popular bride, under
the supervision of Mrs. w. N. White.
There were three arches across the
chancel rail, and in the center arch
were two gates tied together with a
largo white ribbon and oyer each arch
hung large bell.
Mrs. w. N. White presided at the
organ, assisted by Mr.. l.obt Kennedy,
brother OF the bride, with his violin,
aud as the bridal party appeared, the
sweet strains Of Mendelsson's Wedding
March told of the approach Of the
bridal party. Two pretty flower girls,
Lillian Powell and Florence White led
the way, and after them came Misses
Katie and Narcisse, the twin sisters OF
the bride, then the young lady attend
ants dressed in pink orgaudy with hats

B. Davis, Miss Susie Reid and Mr.. S.
B. Kennedy, aud the. first bridesmaid
and groomsman, Miss Mary Lanier
and MIR. Ike b. Pickens followed with
the groom. Then came the lovely
bride leaning on the arm OF her father,
Judge j. NJ. Kennedy.
AT the head of the chancel rail- the
bridal party halted, forming semi
circle, when the gates were opened by
the sisters of the bride and the two,
who were to be made man and wife,
stood before the minister. Rev. Mr..
Parker's words were impressive and
the ceremony very pretty. AT ills con-
clusion the party marched out of the
church to the sweet strains Of the
organ, and proceeded to the beautiful
home Of the parents of the bride.

tions of their MANY friends.
