mes Of Chattanooga have been built

The battle OF Missionary ridge was
fought fifty years ago viz, septem-
Der, 25, 1868. After the battle Of
Chifkamauga, Bragg's army occu-
pied the crest Of the ridge, the Fed

valley. At 4 O'Clock on the after
noon of September %, Federalf
moved across the valley to the at
tack. They charged the rife pits at
the foot Of the ridge, and here it
was that Gen. Boynton said that
blood flowed like water. The Fede-
rails charged over the rifle pits. that

ed Confederate force, and fought
their way to the crest. AT the close
Of the day, the Confederates had
retreated and their enenlieg were in
full control of the ridge.
Some Of the most desperate fight
ing of the was done at the battle of
Missionary ridge. The exploits Of
Bate, Cleburne and Cheatam in this
battle are familiar to readers of his
tory. Z mas been said that tho loss
of the battle of Missionary ridge was
more disastrous to the Confederates
than thtir failure to win a desisiv
victory at Chickamauga. Students

Missionary Ridge To Be
Seen By Reunion Visitors.
o.. of The Most Noted Civil War battle-ground

Chattanooga, Tenn. March 49,
A point of intense interest to all
tourists who visit Chattanooga is
Missionary Ridge. This enimence
first became historic as O location
for some missionary work among the
CherokeeIndians. A band of mission
aries from the east pitched their
tents on, the ridge, and from this
incident it was named. They taught
the Indians there, ministered to
their spiritual needs and did gene
raj missionary work throughout the
region round and about. Books are
vet to be had here printed in the
Cherokee language. In text these
books very much resemble Greek,
but the Greek scholar soon finds
that they are not what uneducated
people take them to be.
The historic interest that attach
es to Missionar Ridge will draw
thousands of people to it during
the Confederate reunion to be held
here May q, % and IS. The great
battle fought here in 1863 between
the Federal and Confederate forces,
ends greater intereGt than anything
Else to Missionary Ridge. This being
tho 50th anniversary of the battle
Of Missionary Ridge is another in
teresting and noteworthy circum-
stances.
The visitors to Chattanooga to at
tend the Confederate Veterans Re-
union, May 1928, will have the
best opportunity 10 visit Missionary
ridge. The eminence stretches for a
distanceof ten miles north and south
Immediately east Of the valley in
which the city of Chattanooga is
located. Chattanooga lies in valley
between Lookout Mountain on the
west and Missionary Ridge on the
east. Trolley cars ascend the ridge
and carry their passengers along its
crest for a distance Of six or eight
