Away from its mothers breast,
Away from friends and loved ones,
Away to the Heaven of resi-.
Away from hearts all beading and sore
No sorrow there to know.

An Angel took the golden pen,
Upon this dreary night,
And wrote the namo Ct Walden Shaw,

GEORGIA AS A MILITARY CENTER.


Not many people in Georgia are
aware Of the fact that this stateacon-
tains more military posts and official
stations than any other state in the
union with the exceptions Of New York
and California.
The people Of Georgia and their
representatives in congress have lost
no opportunity to represent the nat
ural advantages of the state to the war
department for all military purposes
of military maneuvor in zines of
peace and war. Whether for garrisons
recuperating from tropical, service or
for the practice and drin Of infantry
or cavalry the great camp at Cnicka-
manga is fairly without rival on the
continent Fort Mcpherson here at
Atlanta is recognized as one OF the
hahasolaest ana most desirable Of the
interior forts Of the country while our
coast stations are most Important and
viii, in time, be made as Strong as the
best Of the Atlantic derenses against
foreign approaches.
The meaning of these military estab-
lishments to the state is also larger
than the average citizen thinks. A
very large amount Of money of the
government is thus brought into the
trade and circulation of the communi-
ties near which these posts are To-
Gated, The payments on account Of
the wages and incidentals OF regi-
ment Of troops amount 10 $4,000 or
more every month. CONSTITUTION.
