with a glass. At twelve o'clock we
fell in, one division on each of our
TANKS, but how many more l knew
not. We marched over two ridges
which were covered with timber, and
as we emerged from the woods al
the foot of the second ridge and APP
peared on the open plain in front a
heavy fire of cannon and muskets
was opened upon us from the rebel
breastworks about 80 rods distant
The line pressed on although bullets
shells, grape and canister threatened
destruction to every one. Some fall
tered; some took refuge behind a tree
or log, but the main line still pushed
bravely forward, passing clear across
the plain, about forty rods, and COM
menced the ascent Of the hill to the
forts But they are tired out, being
loaded down by their knapsacks and
other traps, and it is but rashness to
go farther, so they fell back to a
creek called Resaca, under the bank
of which they found shelter, many
lying i'm the water until dark.
After getting about ten rods on the
plain my knapsack became unlocked
in jumping across a little creek and
| stopped to fix it. While fixing the
buckle the company got far ahead of
me, so lay down under the bank and
stayed there until the firing ceased
to some extent and then / went across
the bottom to where they other boys
were lying, running from one tree to
another to get to them, firing as |
went some thirty rounds, but as the
distance was great and the rebels be-
hind breastworks, I don't think /
did any damage. There were three
other attempts made to charge the
works, but with no better success.
1t was two hours before any artillery
was got into position to bear upon
them effectually, which seemed quite
blunder, for if they had played upon
the forts for while and silenced their
batteries before we made the attempt
at charging them, / think we should
have had much better success. The
34th Wisconsin made a good charge
on our left and got within ten rods
of the rebel works, and held their
ground for some time.
After dark our regiment fell back
and about two o'clock, as many Of
us as could be found, went into camp.
George White Of our company was
killed. He fell clear in the advance,
being shot by a mimic ball. Orderly
sergeant j. A. Clay was stunned by
the bursting of a shell nearby, and
had to go to the hospital. Henry
Wood was wounded in the left arm, a
ball passing through it, but not hit
ting the bone. Oscar Day was wound
ed in the toe; John Baker, corporal,
was wounded in his fingers. These
were the only ones of company who

Talks on Thrift
HotO to Draw a Check

The first thing depositor in bank
1 should learn is how to draw a check,
for if check is improperly drawn it
may lead to confusion and might bring
loss to the bank and annoyance to
| the depositor. In the first place the
| figures should be plainly made, so
! that no question can arise as to the
amount. If figure is carelessly made,
so that it confuses those who handle
the check, numberless hours of work
may follow. For instance, if bank
receives check for $1.S8 with a poor
49," and a clerk lists it as $1.08, it
may take many hours time to find the
difference, and the entire days work
may have to be gone over. The rule
should be: never make a figure that
may be mistaken and never pass one
that is in doubt-correct it by cross
ing out the bad 'and making a good
one alongside.
Second, the words and figures
should agree. The law says that if
the two are different, the written
words govern, but make both careful
ly and get them alike.
Third. Begin the writing we'll to the
left of the writing space and fill in the
unused pace with a. wavy line. Begin
the figures well up against the 5 sign
and make the character 00-00 after,
but close up against the figures. Use
a good black ink and write firmly. so
that plenty of ink gets into the fibre
of the paper.
Fourth, always write your name
exactly as you wrote it on the banks
signature card" Mrs. William Smith"
may be the same person as "Mary v.
Smith," but the bank account doesn't
stand that way.
Adopt one signature and stick to it.
Do not flourish, nor make fancy
signature. Handwriting experts will
tell you that plain, distinctive sig
nature, with no furbelows, is the most
difficult to forge.
The law of forgery is that the bank
is bound to know your signature, and
pays a forged instrument at its peril.
The risk is all theirs, but that is not
to say you should not help eliminate
the chance of forgery by taking care
that your checks are properly drawn.
If you are grossly negligent, you
might have TO stand the loss yourself.
/ Better be safe than sorry. There are
numerous protecting devices on the
market, some better than others, and
these may be used as added safe
guards; but there is no rule of law
that compels you to do so. You are
safe if you follow the above sugges-
tions. but safer if you use a protect
ing device. for then YOU cannot be
charged with any negligence in MAX
ing your checks forgery proof. Do
not make it easy to work fraud
through your account. Do not give
checks to strangers. Do not leave
your check book lying around. Do
not leave signed check where it may
be filed in and used. Your banker
will bless you if you follow the fore
going Observation-Disclosures Bank

Interesting Accounts Taken From
Diary of the Late c. NJ Slayton

From the diary which c. M. Stay
ton wrote each night on the battle
fields of the South fifty-two years ago
lis taken this interesting bit of his
tory:
Thursday May, IL, 1864.
Marching orders; reveille at two
O'Clock a. m, but we waited until
seven o'clock before we got started.
We were accompanied by several
pieces of artillery and the roads were
were rather muddy, making progress
Of twelve miles or so rather slow, and
not getting into camp until after
dark.
We passed the night at Buzzard's
Roost and went through the Tunnel
Hill station about noon. The desola-
ton of war was very apparent along
our route today by the absence of
fences, the scarcity of inhabitants
and the demolition and shattered con-
dition of the houses; also quite a
quantity of "straw rebels" that were
made to scare our men, but as they
would neither fight nor run, were
found quite innocent and harmless.
Heavy firing on our left today.
Friday, May Is, 1864.
Reveille sounded at one a. m. We
got up and ate something and at three
o'clock started off in the dark, but af-
ter going a little ways we sat down
and burned rails until it began to get
light, and then strted off, marching
three and one-half hours without
stopping to rest. We stopped one
and a quarters hours, marched on,
passing through Snake Creek Gap.
Here we were passed by hundreds of
baggage wagons and ambulances and
thousands of troops, and at one o'clock
we stopped, ate again and rested. At
five o'clock the division Termed in bat
tie line and with fixed bayonets
moved on through the brush and
wood, through fields and across creeks
for three miles, then, when darkness
enveloped us we lay down in an open
field. but still in line, for the night.
We had marched % miles.
The night was cool, but pleasant,
and we lay down, praying that the
morrow might find us well off, yet
fearing it might not. After going to
bed we were aroused and sent out to
relieve our pickets, but were sent back
again. We we're again alarmed by
firing. and after getting up we were
told that we might 90 to bed again.
Saturday, May IA, 1864.
Reveille sounded at three o'clock a.
m, and we got ready at eight and
started off, marching in columns of
companies to. the front, which was
one and one-half miles away; then,
formed in line Of battle and lay down
until noon. Some of the artillery
was placed IN. position but at long
range. The rebel works could be seen
