Retiring President Speaks.
James Hogencamp, of this city, act
ed as postmaster. He frs; introduced
the retiring president, Adjutant
Stephen P%ierson, of Morristown. Mr..
Persons remarks took the form of a
descriptive narrative of things he saw
on his recent trip to the big battle
grounds of the South, particularly those
from Chattanooga to Atlanta, the scene
of Sherman's famous march to the
sea-" Mr.. Pierson said:
mo doubt you will be interested to
learn of the great changes that have
taken place from Chattanooga to At
lanta.
Lookout Mountain is hardly recog-
nizable. The face of the mountain is
almost covered with bronze tablets.
One of the largest is that erected by
New York State in memory of her
fallen sons. 1t cost something like
s1o0, 900, and is called the Peace Mon
Ument." On the summit of the monu-
ment are two heroic figures, represent
ing a Confederate and a Union soldier,
and their hands are clasped across the
gap.
Chattanooga was a little town when
the battle wa fought, bu has grown
immensely since then. The town now
extends almost to Orchard Knob, where
the Thirteenth New Jersey recently
erected a monument to her fallen mem
bers. The State of Maryland, which
had a Confederate battery of artillery
and a Union regiment of infantry in
the battle, has erected a monument
concentrating the deeds of both
parties.
Kentucky has erected a magnificent
monument at Chickamauga.
