During the battle OF Wilson's Greek
the Confederares were taken complete

different roads. and We were ordered
to march as silently as possible. The
only sounds were the rumbling of the
wheels and an occasional clash of arms.
At midnight the Federal forces We're

the Confederate camp. At dawn the
Federals We're in motion, and at day

We're unaware of the nearness of the
Union forces. Indeed. the Confederate
forces were not aware of the condition
of affairs until their pickets, about one
thousand yards from their camp. were
driven in. Many of them were loath TO
believe that the Federals were SO near,
and attributed the firing upon the pick
cts to the work of scouting party
One of the Confederate officers was In
his tent at the time. He paid no atten-
ton to tine firing. but presently receiv-
ed a message from his commander to
order his forces out. He turned over
in bed and lazily asked the courier II

CoIOred Shoes.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter.
Ever since the season opened for the
display of samples for spring and summer
shoes, the statement has been made and
persistently maintained by many, that col
ored shoes had outlived their usefulness
and would not be sufficiently popular to
warrant jobbers and retailers in carrying
them in stock. To such point did this
assertion obtain that II not only Influenced
a large number of manufacturers. who had
for several years made large quantities Of
them, but also tanners of colored calfskins,
who in many instances practically threw
them out of their list. Shoe manufacturers,
in many instances, did not show any col
ored shoes in their samples, largely in
fluenced by statements made to them by
wholesale dealers and retailers, that while
a few colored shoes would be worn. the
black shoes had almost entirely supplanted
them.
In the meantime, the faith OF few tan
ners in the continued use Of colors over
balanced their fear and they made up a
good line of desirable shades Of 5usset,
tan, brown and automobile-red. taking
their chances on selling them or having
them left on their hands. But their judg-
ment seems to have been correct. for not
only have these few tanners had n good
trade, but they have taken many orders to
be filled in the least possible time for
manufacturers immediate use.
