MAJOR Z. d. HAYNES.
Sept. s, 1904.

We have very good audiences at our
Sunday afternoon Christian services
and at our band concerts.
Everything here is moving, even the
contractors are moving off the reserva-
ton. Three months hence we will be
left to ourselves.
Our population is approaching the
800 mark rapidly. The absentee list is
not quite up to the standard, the list
at other branches often running mp to
thirty per cent. of the membership at
this time of year.
Treasurer DeVine paid off the extra
duty me- on the 9Th aud 18th inst, and
the effect was plainly noticeable, some
of them coming home with good sized
jags on--not the old vets alone, but a
large number of civilian employees.

OF THE LAND OF FLOWERS.
Tom Gillespie Writes an Interesting and
Glowing Account to Frisnds Left

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 10, 1904
Dear Cy: After shaking hands with
you in your dingy Office l dashed away
a tear and wendell my way to the Land
of Flowers. This is truly q lovely and
beautiful country upon which to feast
the admiring gaze. The palms aud
the magnolias dance and smile at the
rustling breeze that rolls in from the
sea to cool the tired mans brow. |
know that this was never the garden of
Eden. Had it been, mother Eve would
have never plucked the ambrosial fruit
from the tree of knowledge, too intent
ly would she have been worshiping at
the shrine Of Natures God. The black
mouthed serpent could not have tempt
ed her and the machinery would have
never been put in motion that made
mankind.
If you remember there WAS great
conhagration in this city three years
ago, and nothing but twisted iron and
ashes were left 20 mark the spot where
proud and prosperous city had stood.
Twenty. seven hundred buildings went
up in smoke. But the pen of the ar
chitect and the hand of the artisan
combined with the plucky and enreget-
ic citizens have reared a city grander
and more imposing than the one de-
stroyed, with architectural taste, mar.
bic, stone, steel and brick have been
woven together until the new city is
one grand panorama of beauty. Will
such skill does the merchant decorate
his store that il would break the hear
of johnson City shopper Furch
gott's and Coheh's palatial emporium'

that are here, and to pass through the
mazes of loneliness to be seen artistic
ally displayed on every hand, would
so enchant her that she would never
want to return to the hills of Tennes
see.
Three great trunk lines facilitate
this magnificent country to feed it
commerce. These meet the Clyde Lin,
of Steamships that ply regularly be
tween this port and the leading Nortl

bring freights to this port from tn,

The Temperanc, sentim emit.

The News published Saturday an ar
ticle from its Hartman correspondent
giving an interesting account of the
gtoHth of the Prohibition paper pub
lishei in that little city by Prof. IA.
Tate I he fact that Prohibition pa
per published in the South can secure
more than 100, 600 subscribers is a
pointer to the growth Of the anti-liquor
sentiment. We have conclusive evil
dence that the paper has all the readers
it claims, and in fact no man who
knows him will for moment doubt
Prof. Tate's word There is no doubt
as to the growth Of the Prohibition
sentiment III the South, and when both
political parties in Tennessee put an
Endorsement of the Adams law into their
platforms it indicates q strong temper
ance sentiment in this state. Our OBJ
seriation is that this sentiment is not
confined to any particular party. 1t per-
meates every party more or less, and
if the issue should become squarely
joined, the people would elect legis-
lature that would extend the Adams
law to every city in Tennessee. Chat

of $4,000. About $500 will be expended
on an average by each, for printing,
