SUCCESSFUL GRAPE-GRoWING.
Samples From the Vines OF Mr.. G. Sher
man, Of Sequacheo.

The Times last night received a bas.
ket Of delicious grapes from A. Muxen.
grown by IT, Sherman, of the village OF
Sequachec, in the Sequachce Valley.
THESE grapes are of the Niagara variety
and are sweet and deliciously favored.
Inc punches are very large and com
pact and seem to have most excellent
shipping qutllties. Mr.. Sherman's
vineyard was set out in the spring of
1894 ami has produced good crops every
year since bearing age. The village OF
Sequachee is situated aboat $50 feet ee-
vatlon on the side of the mountain ON a
top-bench and has southeastern expos
ure. The vineyard grows almost all
the best varieties, but the Niagara is
the most successful the others boing
set out morr for experimental purposes.
Mr.. Sherman finds a ready sale for the
entire product of his vines, last wear
narketeting 5000 ten-puund baskets be-
sides making 800 gallons of excellent
wine
Mr.. Sherman's success has attracted
the attention of all fruit growers and
the general opinion is that if such mark
cd success can be obtained in Scquachee
county why cannot Hamilton county
growers do the same here.
1t is a pleasure to US to print any
thing relative to the products of Sc
quachee. Or any other place in the
Valley, but some fair degree of Accu-
racy is highly esteemed The Times
reporter who wrote the puff afore.
said, must have just graduated from
a keely Institute, Judging from the
glanng Inconsistencies he expresses.
Sequachee is not in Scquachee coun-
ty, but is the exact geographical cen
tire of Marion county, hence it will
some day be the county seat The
village of Sequachee so. called is not
located at $50 feet elevation on the
mountain side-we wish it were
but nestles charmingly at the base OF
the mountain $50 feet below the
vineyards We don't know so much
about that southeastern exposure.
butt We opine the Times man must
have been suffering from a southeas
tern exposure or he would never have
been guilty of locating us in Sequa
chee county.
However everything is forgiven
when we remember that the name O
our town is spelled correctly in thC
article. The name Sequachee il
compounded Of two Cherokee words
sequa, hog, and chee, a feeding
place. and all other combination
with ct" and ''chie" as promulgated
by our paternal government and die
tatorial railroad, are wrong, false anC
utterly absurd, 1t is idiotic to spell
Sequachee "Sequatchie," and tn,
post office department knows it.

HE SMOKES LIKE GEN. GRAM

HE SNlOhhS LIN n 0hN. 0RAN i.
President Mckinley is becoming Is in
veterate smoker as was Gen. U. >.
Grant. To this is attributed his present
nervous condition. The President smokes
continuously from the time he goes into
his office at a. m. until he retires about
midnight.
His official visitors find him with the
inevitable cigar and when the door Of the
abinet room is opened t. Init visitor
a blue haze of tobacco s-Jke puffs out
aud Mr.. Mckinley is seen engaged in
adding more than his equal share thereto.
Since the occupation of Cupa, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. admirers of the
President holding commissions in the
army and navy have sent him many pres
ents of cigars.
The first specimens to reach him we're
from Manila. They were the familiar
long, black cigars of that city.
Almost every returning officer OF the
army from Cuba and Porto Rico has a
box or two of cigars for the President.
These are specially made for the chief e1
ecutive and contain the finest tobacco
grown in the islands.
This prodigality of supply has doubtless
tempted the President to an excessive us
of tobacco, which he would otherwise
have avoided. He excuses himself to a
degres for his constant smoking by assert
ing that it has beneficial effect upon
the neuralgia with which he has irecently
been suffering.

TWO Oh infantry and one of mounted rifle
men. The commissioned officers were
increased to i,O40. and the enlisted men to
il,6os. There was but little change in the
staff corps.
| The regular army remained at these
figures until the civil war broke out In
1851. In the acts of July a2 and Aug. 8,
1851, six regiments of cavalry, five Of ar
tillery. and nineteen regiments Of infan-
try were provided for. The commissioned
force was raised to 9. 900 officers, and the
enlisted men to 37,264. Five Major Gen.
erals and six Brigadiers commanded
them. There wer, many important ad-
ditions to the staff department OF the
army. Subsequently during the war the
grade of Lieutenant General was revived
and conferred on General Grant. After
the war he was raised to be full General.
In 1868 the next change came. The act
Of July 2s provided for one General. one
Lieutenant General, five Major Generals,
nineteen Brigadier Generals (including
the staff Generally, eighty eight colonies,
103 lieutenant colonies, 2g1 majors, 40
captains So first lieutenants, 40 second
lieutenants, besides q large number OF
staff officers of the lower grade not here
included. The army under the new or
ganization included ton regiments OF cav
airy. five of artillery, and forty five OF
infantry. The commissioned strength
was s,o36 officers and 81, sos enlisted men.
In 1869 the Brigadiers were reduced to
sixteen (including eight staff Generally,
and there were large reductions In the
staff officers. The infantry regiments
were reduced to twenty-five. The conf
missiohed officers were reducedkto 1877,
and the force of enlisted men to 35,036.
In 1870 there were unimportant changes
in personnel. The officers stood about the
same, at 2,264. butythe enlisted Istrength
was reduced to 10, 1888.
By various acts between June 16, 1874,
and June 20, 1876, considerable changes
we're wrought In the army. The number
of comm issioned officers was reduced to
2.l51, and the enlisted strength to %, 600
men, where 1t remained un II the Spanish
war broke out last spring. No change
was made In the number of regiments in
either arm of the service until March,
1868, when two new artillery regiments
were authorized and raised. The grades
OF General and Lieutenant General were
permitted to lapse. The Major Gen ,rals
were fixed at three, and the Brigaders at
six, aside from the eight staff Generals
which have since been increased by spec
ial acts. There has been gradual in
crease in the staff strength since the gen.
eral reduction following the war.
