AN INTERRUPTED BATH.
How Sherman Caught Five Thousand
Confederates In Adams Garb.

Inch by inch," relates an ex -Confed-
crate "the gray jackets had retired
from the Tennessee mountains, contest
Ing every vantage ground down TO
Kenesaw. But. strive as they might, the
advancing column of Sherman's leglons
was too much for them, and even from
the heights of Kenesaw mountains we
were driven down through the Allatoo-
na hills to the Chattahoochee river. On
July Is, 1864, dusty and battle stained,
we stood on the banks OF that stream
and gazed upon Its waters rolling along
far below. Masking our cannon or the
bluff that overlooks Nickajack creek,
we made break for the river. The
water was so alluring that we would
have plunged into 1t had the risk Of
being surprised by the enemy been
even greater.
"In few minutes the river was full
of naked 'rebs' disporting in the waters
so deliciously cool after that long, hot
march through the Allatoona hills. We
were only GOO or 700 yards above the
mouth of Nickajack, and the water was
quite shallow, rs the long drought had
brought the river down
Suddenly from the direction OF Nick
ajack there was pow, pow. pow
Imagine the amazement with which we
beheld squadron OF Federal cavalry
at the mouth of the Nickajnck blazing
away at us with their carblnes and
only prevented from completing our
surprise by their inability to ascend
the almost perpendicular bluff that rose
on our side of the stream There were
some 5000 of u.s. but our numbers
counted little when we had not even
the protection OF an undershirt from
those vicious bullets, and none OF us
knew what moment some gun might
prove superior and send a ball into
some OF our naked bodies. Our bath
was spoiled. and never did 5000 men
dress more quickly than we did.
I'm twinkllng we were In line, and
the waters OF the Chattahoochee were
gliding along again undlsturbed. We
stood off the Yankees until, night and
all the next day, when Sherman moved
up the river, aud we changed our posi-
ton accordingly" - Atlanta Constltu-

when he asked Brown how early In

In the collated correspondence OF

an extra guest-stands the identical
warehouse used by John Brown and
his sons, John junior and Jason, be-
tween the years 1S47 and 1851.
John Brown had lived In Massachu-
setts before. He studied to be min
lister In the family Of Rev. Moses Hal
lock Of Plainfield just before he reach
ed his majority In the winter Of 1910.
At that time he was described as
"rather tall sedate, dignified," and he
was sent back to his fathers lanyard
In less than a year because Of infiam-
nation Of the eyes.
In the warehouse John Brown work
ed daily with his men, some white and
some colored, sorting, chasing and
transshipping wool. There 084S) Fred
erick Douglass called upon him and
twas surprised to ind him in such
small wooden house on back street"
In that same year Brown, elated at
his successful sales, plunged" to the
extent Of going to Europe to interview
English buyers. II Is related that he
was phenomenally astute In grading
wool by the sense Of touch. A half
dozen Engllshmen met the Yankee
farmer and, having heard OF his keen
ness in this particular, resolved to put
1t to the test. He was led into dark
room In which three small sample
packets were lying. Brown instantly
detected which was Saxony, which
was from Ohio, but at the third he
hesitated n moment. Turning to the
jokers, he said, ''lf you have any sau-
sage machines in England that will
work up dogs hair, put this in It'll"
The laugh was on his companions, for
they had indeed used the shearings
from poodle to fool him.
Brown greatly endeared himself to
the blacks. In his Springfield ware
house he formed a lodge of Spring
field Gileadites," primarily aimed to
protect the negroes from gathering
trouble with the whites. Forty-four
members Joined, Beverly G. Downing

come to the downstairs, low ceilinged
