truthful.
When the Army Of the Cumberland was
TeorgaBized at Chattanooga, in October.
1868, his (Turchin'sl old brigade, with the
exception OF the 18th Ky. was consol-
idated with the old First Brigade OF
Brannan's Division, and was known from
that time until the war closed as the First
Brigade, Third Division, Fourteenth Army
Corps
At the assault on Mission Ridge, in No
yember, 1863, the following regiments
composed the brigade: 11th, 18th, 31st,
3Gth, S9th and 92d Ohio and the SD Ind.

81 Klegg, Shorty and the Deacon.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Ii the
quality of a story is determined by its
popularity, then that of Isl Klegg and
Shorty" is one of the greatest ever writ
ten. The scenes depicted OF army life at
the front are not only accurate, but de-
lineated by a master hand, and the de-
scription of the political conditions-the
rampant Copperheadism which terrorized
southern Indiana at that time-is true
in all respects, only it does not go far
enough, as it gives us but faint idea of
the magnitude and multiplicity of the
deviltries perpetrated by that damnable
organization, the knights Of the Golden
Circle.
There never was a finer picture drawn
than that of Deacon Klcgg-true type of
the sturdy, prosperous Indiana farmer of
40 years ag0-as he emerges from his
home on Bean Blossom Creek, clean
shaved, and dressed in his Sunday suit,
carpet-Sack in hand, prepared to take the
train for indianapolis. The broadcloth
coat, satin vest, doeskin pantaloons, we'll

Comparatively few people outside of the
city of Wilmington know of Cherry
Island, and its wonderful advantages for
industrial purposes. Recently a circular
has been issued eNtolling the many vir-
tues of the new unproductive island. In
less than two years is has been predic-
ted. Cherry Island will be covered with
big manufacturing establishments and
already plans have been prepared for
the building of mamouth railroad repair
shops for the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. There is 1000 acres in the tract
and the keen eye Of the financial man
has wandered over the land. Many acres
have changed hands recently, but the
best portion OF it is said TO sull be on
the marlset
One of the lots has a 1000 foot frontage
on the Brandywine and the same FROM
tage on the p, W. and B. railroad
lines.
Another inducement TO locate on the
land is that, although 1t is in the city
Of Wilmington. it is free from taxation
