 TINGUIsHED SOLDIER.
Major Atkins Honors Memory ef the Late -Alabamlan Who Was . Confederate Soldier and
 GuoPdaman.

Major V. B. Atkins or 0eiHia, coa'A manding the 1st cavalry, Alabama Ma tional Guard. has given the attractive camp of the squadron at Pickett Springs the name of Camp Tisdaie.
 The camp was named in honor Of the memory of the late Colonel W. H. Tis-' dale of Montgomery. for many years a nrominent member of the Alabama National Guard as well as Confed- crate soldier with an admirable miii- tary record.
 The yellow legs. who arrived yes. terday, have settled down to the rou- tine of camp life. All of the Tour troops comprising the squadron arrived in Montgomery before noon. fne horses were unloaded at the spur track near the camp grounds and were soon in the comfortable stable, constructed for them.
 On account of the unexpected delay in the breaking of the camp of the 1st infantry, the cavalfymen had some trouble in erecting their tents on reaching the camp site, but before dress parade yesterday aftsShoon ev- erything was in shape and the soldiers were as comfortable as person can get in a militia camp.
 The showers of yesterday had an effect on the number of persons who visited the camp, but quite a number saw the dress parade yesterday after
 noon at o'clock despite tho fact that a slow drizzle was coming down during the evolutions.
 Before the parade. the spectators had an opportunity of witnessing the prettiest of military sights, the evolu- tions of cavalry troops. Each of the four troops appeared on the parade ground before the hour of parade and held troop drills.
 The work of the Selma troop was ex- cellent and the big Montgomery troop. fifty men strong. was applauded as they drilled.
 Practically the Same feeding and lighting arrangements that made the camp of the 1st regiment so successful are being furnished the squadron. More electric lights have been fn- stalled, however, and everything has most shipshape appearance. Adjutant General w. W. Brandon, ouartermaster Barry L. Holt and In- spector General Robert F. Ligon still noth of the camp. Captain Goodfellow of the regular army has his tent with the military board.
 What came near being a serious ac- cident took place yesterday afternoon just previous to dress parade. trooper of the Montgomery outfit dur ing the evolutions had the misfortune of his saddle slipping. At the same time the horse became unruly and he was thrown with force to the earth. He luckily escaped without injuries.
 At the first dress parade, Captain Charles E Dexter. adjutant of the squadron, published the following or ders:
 Montgomery. Ala. July 2A. 1905. Squadron Order No. IA.
 First-Alabama recently mourned the loss of one of its most distin- euished citizens and soldiers when the death of William H. Tisdale was flashed over the State.
