Charming Lady Mattresses.
That the installment of lady watt
resses in Mountain Branch Mess Hall
will prove successful move on the
part of the management will without
any doubt be very great success. OF
course, it will be taken INTO consider
alton by those who are consistent
and reasonable in their judgment that
the delays of the past two days have
been unavoidable owing to thefact that
they are unaccustomed to the work and
it must necessarily take few days
for them to master the situation and
become Injured to the surroundings.
They are making rapid progress and
will soon become proficient. 1t is sin
cerely hoped by majority Of the mem
bers that they will not become discour-
aged. They are an amiable and atten-
tive lot Of young ladies who are try
ing their utmost to please and render
satisfaction. In short space Of time
they will find the work easier and
more pleasant and we trust remunera-
tive as well.
Governor Smith and Captain King
are leaving no stone unturned to sur
mount the few minor obstacles, which
is being successfully accomplished by
their zeal and untiring efforts. 1t will
not be many days before matters will
be readjusted and everything regain its
normal condition and work smoothly
with clockwork regularity.
There are, of course, always some
disgruntled ones to be found among
such large body of men, more espe-
cially in Soldiers Homes, who are not
pleased with themselves or anything
that is done for their benefit. They
have no words of encouragement or
praise for those who are striving con-
tjnually and forever TO improve their
condition and make them happy and
contented in the declining sunset of
their life

Base Ingratitude.

| William McKeeby, late of b Com
pany 18th Pennsylvania cavalry and
a weli-known and esteemed member
of the Home, who has been living in
Johnson City since his furlough was
granted to him, has been the victim of
misplaced confidence through the pre-
tended friendship of those with whom
he boarded and had placed implicit
confidence. Mr.. McKeeby is so years
Of age, strictly temperate and has the
reputation of being upright and hon
orable in all his dealings. The follow
ing statement from him will show the
