TRUTHFUL REPORTS.

The truthful reports of friends and

fraternal body's in existence in
our country, and judging from
the splendid personel of the
representatives and members
present on this occasion it is des-
tined to become stronger here,

know anything good about it be-
cause of some unfortunate cir

My Dear Sir:

City.
My Dear Sir:
| thank you very much for
your complimentary reference to
me, appearing in your paper this
morning, and which is the more
appreciated because of it being
unsolicited, or even thought of
by me.
Though I was Adjutant-Gener-
al on the staff of the knightly
Walthall, whose brigade partici-
pated so actively and conspicuous
| ly from the opening to the close
of the battle of Chickamauga; and
though conscious of being equal
ly qualified with any living par
ticipant on that ensanguined bat
tlefeld, yet | forego seeking
qualification of the laudable am
bition to become the successor of
General Stewart, and have
recommended, and am using my
humble influence for the appoint
ment of another Capt. t. c.
Carter, of Meridian-to the very
desirable berth left vacant
on the "Chickamauga Battle
Park Commission" by the death
of General Stewart. However,
| deeply feel your complimentary
mention of my name in cOnnec-
ton with the designated position,
and though not an applicant, |
will ever appreciate your kind
ness.
In order that my position or at
titude in this regard be not mis-
understood, and that | may not,
by my silence wrong my friend
Capt. Carter-I will thank you
to publish this communication in
the next issue of your paper, and
thereby much oblige.
Very truly your friend,
E. T. SYKES.
