Rich Spells of War.


Forests men remained in Paducah
from 2 o'clock until IL o'clock, the
25th, and early on the Goth marched
southwark with 400 captured horses
and mules. a very large supply of cloth
ing, subsistence. stores and military
equipments. Hating just beyond the
town, Forrest sent back to the fort a
proposition to exchange the prisoners
he had captured at Paducah and those
brought In from Union City by Colonel
Duckworth. This proposal was refus-
ed, and Forrest started southwark in
person, leaving General Buford at
Mayf1eld to give his Kentuckians their
promised holiday in the blue grass
country. The men were allowed to go
to their homes in squads and after a
weeks visit were to rejoin Buford at
the rendezvous and ride away to Mis-
sissippi.
On reaching Trenton. Tenn, Forrest
furloughed the Tennesseeans of his
command to take their holiday at
home, appointing a rendezvous and a
day for assembling. When the tele-
graph carried the news of Forests
presence in Kentucky to General
Grant at Washington he wired SHEER
man to set all the cavalry of his de-
partment upon Forests track and not
let him escape the trap into which
he had plunged.

Few persons, we believe, fully

Some of our teachers who

seen so far. We appreciate this
compliment and are especially
grateful to the janitor for his
good work about the house and

The work in drawing this year
ia much better than ever before.
