EXCURSION TO
SHILOH PARK
A Three Days Boat Trip Up Ten~
nessee River to the Old
Battle Ground.

On Saturday, July 30, at II a. m
the Steamer Shiloh will leave her-
berth at Johnsonville for Shiloh
Battlefield; will arrive at the Park
Sunday at $50 a. M, giving one day
at Park; leave Park at 6 p. m. and
return to Savannah at Z p. m.; re-
main at Savannah until Monday
at $50 a. m. when she will leave
homeward bound, arriving in John
sonville at 4.35, in time to meet the
5 o'clock train for Camden, All
who wish to make this trip can Sc
cure tickets from John Smith at
Stigall & Potts Store. Get your
tickets not later than July 2S.
The Shiloh is first-class boat;
feeds well, and is manned by nice
crew of gentlemen, who will spare
no pains in making your trip
pleasant one; in fact, it is the only
boat in Tennessee River making
specially of passengers. Ticket,
board and bed, round trip, $500.
In visiting the Park you will see
many things of interest; at Shiloh
occurred one of the hardest fought
battles of the civil war; yon will
see where 10000 men were slaught-
cred in about ten minutes; where
400 pieces of artillery, all sizes, are
planted just as they were in time
of battle; the old peach orchard,
$50 yards wide, where the yankee
artillery lined up on the north side
while the Southern boys pulled up
their artillery to the south side
and opened fire $50 yards from the
Yankee guns, and after fighting at
this close range few minutes the
Southern boys made dash for the
yankee guns and captured them;
reversed the guns and slew 10000
of the enemy in less than ten min
utes; here you will see the "bloody
pond" where thousands of wound
ed soldiers lay on their faces to
drink and were never able to leave.
Do you suppose any OF the boys
who were in that memorable charge
are living today? Ask James III.
Combs, Joe G. Hudson, Joe Fra
zier, Jake Florence. John Madden,
James Pafford and James Chester.
The latter received thirteen balls
in his clothing and six in the flesh,
and Joe Frazier has ball in his
hip received in this charge. The

Charlottesville. Va, May 21.-For-

New Haven, with the intention of TAX

brother was educated. After week or
two at Yale he decided to come
to the University of Virginia,

frequent runs for half the length of the
field, and last season his work was
spectacular in every contest In which

seats in the stands and cheered the
Californian for his work.
Stars in Track Athletics.
In track athletics Stanton shone with
equal success. Before coming East he
had won the place of champion quar-
ter-miler on the Pacific Coast. AS a
member of the Virginia track team,
he was defeated only once In an out
door race, and that was when he ran
second to Rector in the 22O-yard dash
in the Yale meet.
In the same meet he took the meas
ure Of both of Yales entries In the
! quarter mile, and in the Pennsylvania
meet last month defeated Texas"
Pamzdell in the 22O-yard dash. and al
SO outfooted the best Quaker quarter
milers. He succeeded Rector as the
star member Of Virglnia's relay team,
which twice won the championship of
the South. In the Johns Hopkins meet
last saturday, Stanton covered the 100
yards in ten seconds fiat, and In his Sc
cond attempt in hurdle race made the
splendid time Of 25 2-5 seconds in the
low hurdles, defeating Holiday. of
Virginia, and HorraX, the Hopkins
star.
