this Week
SHAM BATTLE WILL
Occur at a Point Between
Here and Sevierville

A part of the National Guard State of
Tennessee, the compenies from Memphis,
Nashville and other parts from the Middle
and West part of the State were stationed
on Everett's hill east of town from Sunday
until Thursday of this week. This was an
ideal location for an army camp, being
high and dry and grand view Of the sur.
rounding territory could be seen from camp
Every convenience possible was accorded
the Tennessee Soldier Boys, while in our
midst, and they express their appreciation
of the treatment given them by the citizens
of Maryville and surrounding territory.
Fresh well water, was pumped into each
section Of the camp by the machinery at
the Canning Factory, and their camps were
clean and sanitary.
On Tuesday when the heavens emptied
rain upon us Mr.. c. F. Gibbons, allowed
as many of the boys as could possibly gain
admittance to take shelter in the Factory
and surrounding buildings, the officers and
the men, were loud in their praise of Mr..
Gibbons and this was done without pay in
any form.
We had the pleasure of visiting the camp
on Wednesday evening and was accorded
very kind and courteous treatment at the
hands of the officers and men.
The Army here numbered about 7oc
strong, commanded by Col. Gleason ot
Knoxville. 1t was known as the Isl
Provisional Regiment of State Infantry
and first and second unattached companies
D. H. P. F., Hospital Troops and Nicely
Zouaves, from Memphis commanded by
Capt. exit" Deffry from Memphis Tht
latter company was organized in 1886, ane
Capt. Defry is ranking officer, and wa
commissioned by Gov. Bates. He is alsC
connected with the Police Department o
that city. We found all the officers yer.
pleasant gentlemen and ready to extenc
every courtesy in their power. The mel
and officers, claimed that this was one o
the best camp sites they ever saw, and tha
every conv enience for their enjoyment anC
comfort was provided. They were loud ii
their praises cf the citizens of Maryvill'
and Blount County.
We must say for the boys that while
they were here that their behavior wa
excellent, and we did not see single on'
under the influence of liquor.
They broke camp Thursday on their way
to Sevierville where they will meet th'
cred Army" this being the Blue in shan
battle. We close by saying that we hope
they will come again.
