When Masons Meet.

There has been a great deal of
controversy attached to the time
of meeting of the Grand Lodge of
A. F. and A. NJ. of the Indian
Territory at Wynnewood next
month. There is no going behind
the language of the constitution of
the Grand Lodge, which says, the
annual meeting will be on the sec
ond Tuesday in August" which,
this year will be the 8th day of the
month. The Grand Lodge work
generally occupies three days. This
will be Sth, 9th and 10th. On the
10th, or last day of the Grand
Lodge meeting at Wynnewood, the
people of that growing little city
will give a grand picnic, which
will be stirring feature to many
brethren of the mystic tie from the
east side of the Territory.

Land Holding.

District Attorney Wilkins of the
central division goes Attorney w.
B. johnson of the southern divi-
sion, so acres better in the holding
of lands. Attorney w. B. John
son, it will be remembered, said
500 acres would be considered the
maximum. Now Attorney Wilkins
says:
Until further notice this Office

capita an excessive holding.
Therefore the citizens of the
Choctaw nation are respectfully
called upon to cut down all exces-
sive holdings (if any there be- to
conform to the law. otherwise, you
are hereby notified that the law
will be enforced" /"

sive affair and was only attended
by the members of the post with
the exception of Father Hall, who
was an invited guest.
A grand dinner was served by
Commissary johnson, after which
the fun began. Songs, stories and
recitations were tho order of the
afternoon. Comrade Roberts re-
cited several poems which convinc-
ed his hearers that he has previously
been hiding his light under bushel.
The old flag" as usual graced
the occasion and was revered by
every gray haired veteran present.
Every veteran forgot that he was
growing old. and was carried back
to the days long passed when his
rations of wormy hardtack did not
produce an investigating commits

supposed to employ a pack mule to

They Want to Come.

Just how easy matter it is for
Ardmore to have water and sewer
system can readily be seen by the
following letter received by Alder
man German from a gentleman
who makes the above system his
| business.
The writer says: Il would like
to construct a water and sewer
system for the city of Ardmore,
and if your honorable body (the
city council) would grant a fran
chise for a certain number of years
and the city agree to take so many
hydrants, l would not ask the city
to put up any money for the con-
struction of the same. The only
thing asked for would be the fran
chise and the rental of a certain
number of fire hydrants. Of
course the city would reserve the
right to purchase the same after so
many years, and we would prefer
making that period a long way off,
instead of close at hand" :

Fighting Jackson,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / was
born and raised in PainesviIle, o., and |
enlisted in 1861 in that gallant regiment,
the 29th Ohio. Our first experience in
soldier life was in the Army of the Potomac,
under Gen. Shields, in the old Twelfth
Corps. | don't believe finer body of men
ever marched under the rays of Southern
sun; defeat they knew not; for their motto
was Give us liberty or give us death" yet
many of those brave boys got the latter.
| think / shall never forget the time that
Gen. Shields took our division of the
Twelfth Corps, the Second, and went up the
Luray Valley and attacked jackson with
only 1000 men. jackson was aware that
we were coming and met us at Port Repub-
lie with 81, 900 men. The Second Division
of the Twelfth Corps met with a stunning
defeat. The morning the battle took place,
many of the old boys who by chance scan
these lines will remember, was very foggy,
delaying the battle until 10 O'Clock or per
haps later, until the fog cleared away.
RObinsons S battery of two guns was placed
on the Coal-pit, place by that name near
the foot of the Luray Mountains. After
our infantry were driven back and were
retreating back toward the Luray, it was
worth dollars to doughnutS to see the rebels
charge that battery. Finally our gunnerS
threw up the sponge and made hasty
retreat.
1t was there the writer was driven into
the mountains by the rebel cavalry and was
in hiding for three days before he found the
Union lines. and all that time was without
food or shelter. and looked like a forsaken
creature when | returned to my regiment

but followed the enemy down the Ridge,
capturing artillery, wagons and prisoners.
Now rs to those two guns. On page
2S2 of the Official Records Gen. Hazen.
in his report, says he carried the crest to
within n few hundred yards of Braggs
Headquarters. On page 2S3, he says his
brigade captured Is pieces of artillery.
Gen. Wood. in his report. says that Gen.
Which claims his brigade captured two of
those pieces.
Gen. Sheridan. on page 191. says: "The
contest was still maintained for few min
utes, the enemy driven from their guns
and the battery captured. Two of the
pieces taken were designated Lady Buck
ner and Lady Brecki ridge" On pages
19l and 1872 he says, While we We're thus
pushing the enemy and forcing him to
abandon his artillery wagons and stores,
the division of Gen. Wood remained on
Missionary Ridge constructing ritie-pits,
and Gen. Hazen and his brigade employed
themselves III collecting the artillery from
which we had driven the enemy, and have
claimed 1t their capture. Gen. Wood. in
hs report to Gen. Thomas of artillery taken
claims many pieces which We're the prizes
OF my division, and when told by me that
the report was untruthfu replied that it was
based upon the report of Gen. Hazen, who
perhaps will, i'll time. base his OF those OF
the regiments: but whether Wool. Hazen
regimental or company commanders are
responsible, the report is untrue GEO. l..

reported to have said: Bragg is good
dog, but Hold Fast is better" With the
same firmness and resolution at Chicka-
mauga, there is no reason why history
should not have repeated itself.
Van Horn in his History of the Army of
the Cumberland, page 359, truthfulIy says:
After the troops had been displaced on the
right and were in motion toward Chatta-
nooga it was easy for them TO have joined
Gen. Thomas in time for participation in
the final conflict" He had in mind the
three divisions of Sheridan, Davis and
Negley. They were requested by Thomas
to do this through Col. Thurston, of Nc
Cooks staff. Davis marched back and
soon became engaged but the other two
disappeared from the field of action.
must trefer to the galIantry of Van Cleve.
When his division was driven in total rout
from the field, through no fault Of his, and
after making an unavailing and Intellectual
effort TO check them, he came TO us the
was our first Colonel. He was feeling
bad over his defeat, and with tears in his
eyes he said
Boys, if / had have had you and few
more like you with me this never would
have happened"
Being deprived Of his command, his
usefulness was gone, and he went back into
Chattanooga alone; even his staff had been
| carried away in the rout. The brave old
| hero died five years ago in Minneapolis at
the ripe old age Of 81.
After getting back into Chattanooga
spades were trumpS, and an indispensable
article: in a short time every man had him
] self behind works two or three times the
length of him, and before the enemy had
reached the top Of Lookout Mountain and
commenced shellng, the whole army were
safely behind impregnable Notifications.
When Bragg stopped in front of Chatta-
nooga, all hope for him was out of the ques-
ton. The army that fought for the South
ern Confederacy in the West were brave
enough, but improperly led. Bragg and
| Pemberton were not a Lee or Jackson.
| If either of the latter had been in command
he would have crossed the river above or
below, which would have made Chattanoo,
ga untenable, and the ultimate result
would have been a footrace as far back as
the Cumberland, and very likely the Ohio.
FIRST SHOT FROM LOOKOUT.
remember well the first shot fired at us
! from the top Of Lookout Mountain. Gen.
| Van Deyeer was walking backward and
! forward, in a medtative mood, few PAGES
in front of the works, his hands behind his
back, in his characteristic way. A solid
shot struck the ground a short distance in
front of him, giving him quite a shower
bath of sand. 1t rolled along the ground

and stopped directly in front of him. He
reached out his foot, and. after turning 1t
over and examining it critically, looked up
and said:
1T looks as though that was intended for
me, but serve notice on LongStreet that II
that is the best he can do, in spite of his
successes on the Potomac, his laurels will
soon wither in this climate
1t was well known this early that Long
streets troops were the ones on the mount
ain. Instances are rare where advance
ment or promotion is achieved by merit
alone above the rank of Colonel. IT is
well known that Gen. Grant. with all his
great abilities as commander. would never
have reached the giddy hight of fame he
did if it had not been for f. b. Washburn
in the halls of Congress. Gen. Van Deveer
deserved a much higher command. but
being unknown to those behind the throne,
and of a very quiet, reserved nature. ana
asking for nothing, he never received his
deserts. 1t is of such natures as this that
heroes are made. l saw him almost daily
during four years service, and admired
him very much. He went ont as Colonel
of the 35th Ohio early in the war. COM
manded brigade after the Spring of 81,
was promoted but once ut the close, and
then by brevet only.
After the works were completed the only
thing to relieve the Inonotony was picket
duty, whole regiments beirg sent out at a
time. One day the I'd MINI. was sent out
for this service. There was a fine. misty
rain falling, and we took shelter under an
