 It is well to say in this connection that Chattanooga has an ambition to make the first encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic in the real south, a splendid success in ev- cry particular. The population of Chattanooga Is made up of both south ern and northern men, who are mem bers of the same churches, neighbors, partners in business, and all of them are united in the work of entertain ing the survivors of the Union army and their friends. Veterans from both armies served on the committees that entertained the Confederate reunion They are now working together to en- certain the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. No such thing as sectional prejudice exists in Chat tanooga. It is united, energetic and prosperous community of real Amer1- cans, and the reception that awaits the veterans of the north is the best that Chattanooga can give No mat ter how large the attendance may De, Chattanooga will prove that It's abtl- ity and cordiality are equal to the emergency.

Fire Board Must Not Install Hydraits
 In First District

The regular meeting Of the Board of Fire Commissioners was held last evening, the most important thing de- ~eloped at the meeting being the re- port of the city attorney to the effect that the board has no legal right 10 install and pay for new fire alarm boxes and hydrants in the First dis trict out of this years appropriation. The Board of Apportionfnent and Taxation made on appropriation for this work so, in all probability, the people in the Black Rock and North Main street districts will have to wait a while for their new hydraIts and alarm boxes

Tdouors Taken in Raid on stratford Inn Emptied Into Tanners Brook -Bartender Fined Fifty Dollars
 And Costs.
Especial to The Farmer)

stratford, July 11-A brook of ''booze'' flowed through the center of the town yesterday following the conviction of Raymond Mcbride, bartender of the Stratford Inn, for a violation of the liquor law. Gallon after gallon of whiskey, brandy, wine and beer was dumped into Tanners brook which flows under Main street in the Center, the yconfiscated liquors being destroy ed at the order of Justice of the Peace Louis Policy who found Mcbride gull ty of selling liquor without a license and fined him $50 and costs besides destroying all the liquors which were exposed for sale when the Stratford Inn was raided a few nights ago.
 The license of the Stratford Inn was revoked by the county commissioners a week or so ago but the proprietor, acting through his bartender, Mcbride, continued to do business claiming that he had received no notification from the commissioners that his license was revoked. The attention of the state police was called to the fact that the lid remained off at the Inn despite

Chattanooga Encampment Association at Work On
 Plans for 47th Reunion

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 11-The Chattanooga Encampment Associat ion is already at work on plans for the entertainment of the 47th annual en- campment of the Grand Army of the Republic and it's allied organizations, September 15-2o inclusive. The dates chosen mark the Both anniversary of the bloody battle of Chickamauga, which was fought September 19 and 20. 1883.
 Early in May, Gen. Alfred B. Beers. commander-in- of the Grand Army of the Republic, and Henry J. SeeIey, adjutant-generaI at the sug- gestion of local parties visited Chat tanooga and conferred with a num- Der of leading citizens concerning the filth annual encaLnpnent of the a.ssocia- ton. The result was that Chattanoo- ga extended an invitation to the Grand Army of the Republic to come here for it's annual encampment this year. The invitation was. accepted and the contract closed few days after the visit.
 When Gen Beers was in Chattanoo- ga on this business he was entertain ed at dinner at one of the local clubs, and in the course of a speech he said among other things that the leaders of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie, as well as the men in the ranks of that powerful organization, had long desired to hold an encampment at Chattanooga, and that he was grat- flied that the general desire would be met in September. He spoke of Chat tanooga's batt1ehelds, it's beautiful nat ural scenery of mountain, valley and river, it's enterprise and its people, closing with the prophecy that these many splendid environments, coupled with favorable geographical location, would bring to Chattanooga a record breaking crowd in September from practically every state in the union.
 The hotel facilities of Chattanooga are splendid for a city of 100000 popu- lation. There are twenty-six hotels in the city, some of them of large ca pacity and modern appointments. The boarding house facilities of the city are all that could be desired in a city of 100 GOO population. In addition to it's hotels and boarding houses, Chat tanooga will throw open thousands of private homes for the entertainment of encampment visitors, just as was done on the occasion of the Confed- crate reunion. No veteran or visitor need fear that Chattanooga may prove unable to take care of the crowd. That matter was settled when the invita- ton was extended. Chattanooga will
