Fort George FL. Thomas is to be the
rendezvous of the militia of The South.
which, under the new law enacted at the
last session of Congress, is to be mobil-
lied annually in great camps of instruc-
ton and participate in maneuyers. The
convenience of Chattanooga for this pur-
pose was one reason for the selection of
the present site for the new post And
it is expected that 10000 members of the
National Guard from Tennessee, Missis-
sippi, Alabama. Georgia. Louisiana and
Arkansas, will gather here every fall for
drill and maneuyers under the command
of officers of the geenral staff of the reg
ular army. Several similar rendezvous
will be established at other points con-
venient for railroad transportation. There
viii be one near Chicago for the annual
maneuvers of the National Guard of the
surrounding States.
The famous Seventh cavalry. Gen.
of Col. Baldwin. is encamped in Chatta-

structures until the new barracks are
completed. The famous Grimes Battery
of artillery, which had a conspicuous
part in the battles around Santiago, is
also here under the command of Capt.
Hoyle. The officers and their families
are living in shacks. part tent and part

one hundred years ago the Louisiana
purchase was trackless wilderness save
for few biazed trails and the highways
made by nature. The universal exposi-
ton which will be given at St. Louis
next spring and summer will celebrate
the acquisition of this vast and produc-
tive territory by the United States. the
hrst OF several acquisitions that have
been developed faster and to higher
degree perhaps than any other territory
in the world.
The scope of the Louisiana purchase
Exposition will be worldwide. All the
knowledge aud experience gained in all
previous world fairs are being put into
TINS enterprise. The fresh energy Of a
new and happy country is bringing to a
naturalization plans the equal of which
were never before conceived Here In
the newest country industry has been de-
yeloped TO its greatest extent Ingnuity
has been given the fullest play, and to
illustrate a greater advancement in 100
years than in all prior time combined
and to bring to the notice of the world
what is now about the center of this Won
derful land is the purpose of this exhi-
bition.
The number of buildings will be great
er than ever made by any previous ex-
position, the ground covered will be
greater in extent. the architectural effects
are planned in a grander and more ex-
tensive way and the arts and crafts and
the products of industrious man are more
numerous than were ever gathered to-
