Mesdames H., NJ, j.. and c.
With Mrs. Murdaugh as honoree,
AT daybreak ioyously wended their way
To Shiloh Park twenty miles away.
The crystal dew in the misty morn.
Rivalled the master Maetterhorn
When 10. in the east rose the orb Of day
Scattering the mists from the hills away.
Ere long the Shiloh Spring we found,
Awakening memories on hallowed ground
The Bloody Pond. the Hornets Nest,
The grave where the gallant Johnston rests.
Each towering shaft that lifts its head.
Above the brave and sleeping dead,
Proclaim tribute. lasting true,
Which time or change can ne'er undo.
The feast of good things. ah, could you see
On the bangs of the beautiful Tennessee,
Was only excelled by the feast of reason
And flow of soul" the guests were bent on.
The Rustid Spring at the edge of the Park.
We reached Just a little before dark.
And fcraging around as the boys of yore
Secured some chickens. a dozen or more.
We sang. we chartered of days of of old,
Full many tale did our lips unfold
Till Edgar, the driver, was terribly bored
But we another Red Letter Day scored.

Pceket-May Be Brought
to Court.

New York, Aug. s0.-After Wednes-
days mill between Stuyvesant Fish
and j I. Harahan, in the Illinois
Central board room, Harahan, Wall
streeters say, called on a lawyer to
arrange for damage suit against
Fish. If SO, the case may be aired in
public; otherwise. there seems small
chance that any save the spectators
will ever know the details of the fra
ras.
Let the other side do the talking"
said Fish, when questioned.
IT'S none of your business an,
swered Harahan. when the interview
ers called on him.
The other directors would not talk
for publication.
This much is certain: There was a
directors meeting; Fish offered reso-
luton, practically calling for an inves'
tigation of the Illinois Central man
agement since %. II. Hartman wrest-
ed it from Fish and turned 1t over to
that of Harahan. Fish started TO read

an adjournment; there was second
and Harahan declared the meeting
over. Fish protested, declaring he had
the floor, but Harahan adhered to his
ruling.
You're tool of Hartman" Fish is
said to have exclaimed.
Whoever says I'm anybody's tool
is liar" Harahan is reported to have
shouted
Then Fish rushed at him. One ver
sion is that he knocked Harahan down
with a blow; another is that he hit
him on the jaw and rolled him on the
floor, while a third version had it that
the two clinched and wrestled until
other directors separated them. 1t Is
certain that there was an encounter.
Fish jammed his resolutions in his
pocket and left Harahan autoed to
Nassau street and later departed for
Chicago.

Z Visits to Shiloh Park. :



One of the most delightful outings of
the summer was participated in by a
party of eighteen young people who left
corinth at 8 O'Clock Friday morning.
The 'Corinth- Hinkle Transfer Co. had
provided nine buggies and wagon in
which to convey the gay crowd with
their well filled baskets, boxes and suit
cases. Every detail for an ideal camp
had been looked after, nothing which
could contribute to comfort and pleas
ure was omitted. For such perfect ar
rangement, much credit is due Miss
Victoria Hill and Mr.. Ely B. Mitchell.
Upon arriving at Shiloh Park skillful
hands went to work to set the pantry,
dining room, parlor and sleeping apart.

candelbra suspended in the arch way
just over the handsome extension table
cast soft glow over the room, which
made these decorations appear most

but that they were from the salt sea.
lis needless to say that the "pickled
pig feet" were something immense.
For many reasons it was difficult to
leave the dining room
But prancing steeds and lovely pixies
were enough to induce even this.
EVERY nook and corner of the immence
grounds were explored; everything of
interest seen, even down to Stuart s
monument. The monotony (?) of these
drives was broken only by the hours for
eating.
The feeling of patriotism and rever-
ence for the heroes who SO bravely
fought in the Hornets Nests or
marched through "Blody Pond'' in the
face of laundering cannons, was too
deep for expression, With bowed
and barred heads we stood beneath the
trees where our gallant Albert Sydney
Johnston died, and the feeling skin to

dwelt on the heroism of the Ola South.
