toned. He has been sagacious and
successful in investments and, while
not rich, is man Of Independent
means. He is a man Of family.

performance of the summer confer
ence for Christian workers, when seri-
GUS matters are for a few hours cast

feature of the big Methodist meeting
now going on at Ovoca. The castle
was crowded for this occasion, expect
ancy being at the highest point, and
the audience was not disappointed.
The ladies of the conference had been
making great preparations to get even
with the men for the fun poked at the
ladies last year on stunt night" and
the ladies carried off the honors. The
prime spirits for the ladies were Miss
Nell Drifoos and Miss Myrtle Cullom
of Nashville. Their "Ovoca Emer-
gency Hospital" proved to be scream
and the men received more than was
coming to them. Miss Cullom, as the
"house surgeon" assisted by ten "phy-
sicians" and an array of nurses, per-
formed some skillful operations upon
the male patients, the majority of
cases being diagnosed as "loveitis" and
"bashfulitis." Several chronic cases
were given attention, and the objec-
tionable "itises" and other things were
removed from the patients, including
their scalps.
The program arranged by the men
was carefully prepared take off"

sonating one of the ladies of the con-
ference, their mannerisms and pecu-
liarties being displayed in highly
amusing manner.

Reason for Splendid Health of Men 10
Excellent Sanitation Measures
Taken-AII Waste Cremated
and Food Protected.
Nashville,

Not one man out of the entire pro
visional regiment in the hospital OF
out of the line of duty on account OF
sickness or injury is the record broken
by the regiment. Never before in the
memory of any of the officers present
has a regiment of Tennessee troops
made such good showing.
This record is especially good, since
the total strength of the regiment is
30 officers and 1872 enlisted men,
Primarily among the reasons for the
splendid health of the men is the ex-
cellent sanitation measures taken. The
result Of the study of the militia Off
GERS In previous camps and schools is
showing. While there has been NO
work in the hospital for Capt. r. B.
Underwood and his hospital corps de-
tachment from Memphis, they have
been busy providing and enforcing the
various sanitary measures.
To the soldier, fire is the great thing
that eliminates disease and germs. The
moment the troops arrived at the camp
site Sunday arrangements were made
for the cremation of everything liable
to endanger the health of the men.
Even the garbage from the kitchen is
not allowed to be hauled away, but is
burned In kitchen incendirators.
Drinking water and foodstuffs are
protected from the few flies that are
nracapf opd avarvtb;pr For human onp
sumption is absolutely free from dis
ease germs. The militia has learned a
great lesson from the regular army Of
ficers, their instructors, and never

Chickamauga during the Spanish
American war, when one-fourth of the
troops we're affected with typhoid fe-
yer.
A detail of mounted scouts for the
provisional regiment to act as scouts
for the advance of the Blue army was
selected by Col. James Gleason. One
Memphis man was selected to go on
this detail. Corporal e. G. Jones of
company e was chosen, and will be on
the mounted detachment. The work
for the detachment is that of securing
information of the enemy and covering
the advance of their own troops and in
time of actual war is highly dangerous.
Already the members of the regi-
ment which is the Blue force are dis
cussing the prospect Of whipping the
Red army. Just what the strength Of
Col. Cary Spence's command, the Red
army, is not known. They are at Sc
vierville, about rs miles east of this
place. Col. Gleason, who is command
ing the Blue forces, is member and
lieutenant-colonel of the Third regi-
ment, which is the main force in the
Red army, but he declares that the
West Tennessee guardsmen are real
soldiers. With them, he declares, he
Is sure to whip his old command and
teach them that the mountaineers are
not the only fighters in Tennessee.
