OFFICERS MUCH BEDECKED.
Veterans Who Saw Service Have At
tcntion Drawn from Them.

Col. J. H. Estill of Savannah, who
commanded the south Georgia brigade
of veterans at the recent reunion in
Louisville. gave out an interview in
which he criticised some of the pOmp
and show that is robbing those re-
unions of their best work and best re-
suits.
''rhe general opinion at Louis
vile. " said Col. k,still, was that the
parade was not as large as usual.
There was, however, a large increase
IN the crop of brigadier generals, col
onels. etc. There is a prevailing
opinion that something should be done
to reduce the acreage, or abolish
such titles entirely, except when they
belong to those who earned them in
lS6l-65. Bedecked in the gOrgeOusness
of general 5 uniform and surrounded
by staff resplendent in gold lace,
the thousands OF lOOkers-On are led to
believe the splendid apparition is the
real thing, when it is only joke.
Abolishing all these highsOunding and
misleading titles, and making the ses-
siOns of the veterans biennial or tri-
ennial. instead of annual, would
doubtless improve matters.
From the newspaper reports 1t
would seem, " Col. Estill said, that
the Georgia division was without a
commander, but that is not so; that
veteran and bona tide general, Peter
McGlaShen, was in command, but he
and his djutant-general Col. CrOm-
ley, did not make enough of show of
themselves. The acknowledgement wore
a straw hat, and carried only whip
in his hand: of course, the newspaper
people did not know any better and
did NOT ,,ocprriza the real thino -

A Baptist Preacher Is Assasinated

preacher. was shot from ambush and
killed while working on his farm near
there. He lived in the district known
as THE Dead Stretch, where it is
said that negroes are not welcome and
the only explanation of his death is in
the fact that he had hired two negroes
to work on the farm and protected
them even allowing them to sleep on
his premises. Granger was respected
and had many friends, but appears to
have angered a certain element that
