Where do we go from here, boys,
Where do we go from here?
Paddy's neck was in the wreck,
But still he had no fear
He saw a dead man next to him
And whispered in his ear:
oh, Joy! Oh. boy! Where do we so
from here|"
song like that has a LOT of pep
most any time, hasn't it? But when
it's shouted by so usty-lunged SOL
diers, it fairly takes you off your feet.
It's one of the favorites OF the
Trench and Barracks Glee club at
Camp Dodge. Have you ever listened
to that outfit? If you haven't, your
musical education has been sadly neg
leCted, For those fellows, members
of the first battalion, Three Hundred
Forty-ninth infantry, shatter the air
as they tell kaiser-lovers to go back
to their home DER the sea- or advise
each other to pack up your troubles
in your old kit bag and smile, smile,
smile"
Of course a great chorus Of trained
punch that is delivered by the mem
! bers Of the Trench and Barracks Glee
club For though they're unframed,
/ and most of their voices are uncult-
waited, these infantrymen put military
/ fire and spirit into their battle songs
which appeal 10 everyone. They sing
as though they meant every word of
their songs.
Their leader, Major P J. Hennessy,
commander, lrst battalion. doesn't
know much more about musical tech
Inique than do the men in his chorus.
But he's accustomed to leading sol
diers. whether it's in military drill or
choir practice, so he isn't having q bit
Of trouble training these battle night
I ingales" He was especially encour-
aged when the national committee on
army and navy music, which visited
/ Camp Dodge last week, said it isn't
necessary for a chorus leader to be a
musician. The big thing, the commit
tee said is the ability to train others,
and to promite a spirit Of unity in the
choruses. And the major voices sing
ing the Messiah"
Men in the battalion who were in
clined TO- scoff at the idea when ii
first was presented to them, are find
ing they are interested in the scheme
in spite Of themselves. They are dis
covering that its's impossible to re-
frain from singing when that great
crowd Of men begins on Marching
Through Germany" or The Battle
Cry of Freedom" And the whole spirit
of the battalion is improving as {
J result. Captains of the four compan.
: les in this outfit say their men have
= become better acquainted since they
! joined the glee club, and that a gen
: eral spirit of unity has been promoted
b by the venture.
The organization Of the Trench ans
Barracks Glee club case as the re
suit of a request from Brigadier Gen

were gathered at the lakewood station

He kept right on running and gave a

Big Fire

Last Wednesday night at about
HAS the fire alarm was sounded
and the citizens were aroused to
find that the store of Detherage
Hardware & Grocery Co., was in
a flame and it was only a few
minutes until it was reduced to
ashes. A fire at that time of the
night, is the only one that ever
gets any Roadway. as we have
one of the best fire fighting ar.
rangements to be found in this
end of the State. The stock Of
goods was worth about $4,000,
and was only partially covered
by insurance. The house was
owned by Mr.. John M. Tinsley,
and was worth about $2500. with
not one cent of insurance upon
it, so it is to Mr.. Tinsley a total
loss of the building. This is a
historical old corner, being one
that many men have started in
business in and had to 90 to larg-
er quarters. Beside the loss by
Detherage Hardware & Grocery
Co., G. l.. Dickinson also suffered
considerably, as he had his Office
in the upper part of the building
with a fine Office outfit, and his
records of the many fire insur-
anee companies he represents,
which were entirely destroyed by
the fire.
There was a chance of loosing
the Presbyterian church and if
this building had burned it would
it would have spread to the store
of A. w. Hopper, as we'll as the
undertaking establishment, and
would have taken the restaurant
of Gregory Brothers, but the fire
fighters kept this from being.
We predict that there will be
a brick business house erected on

Eloped; Love Finds a Way

IF at first you don't succeed,
try. try again." We do not
know who it was first made this
remark, but we do know that he
knew just exactly what he was
saying. So does Hiram L. Taylor.
On last Sunday night, while
the dark clouds were hanging
over the earth; when all the citi-
zens of this little city were wrapp-
ed in the arms of morpheus
dreaming of the future or the
past, there was no sleep for
Hiram Taylor, for he and Miss
Lucy Cole had made up their
minds to be life partners and all
that could be said and done could
not stop them. So it was that
this young man, filled with that
love which would make a man run
thru fire or beard a lion in his
den, together with a friend, pro-
ceeded to where John B0lten had
stored his ladders and took one
upon their shoulders and carried
il thru dark streets and across
muddy fields to the home of T. G.
Cole on North Manchester street,
hknly to find the ladder too short.
Then it was that the ladder had
to be carried far enough away
that Mr.. Cole would not be awak-
ened and there spliced in order
t0resch the proper place. The
second attempt proved successful
and they went to Jellico, Tenn,
where they were made husband
and wife.
Mr.. Taylor is the sonof w. E.
N. Taylor, who lives ON Allison
Ave. He is law student, and
is we'll liked by all. Miss Cole is
the daughter of the late w. p.
Cole and a d-daughter Of

REGIMENT IN FINAL PARADE THROUGH STREETS Will Begin Long Hike to the Mobilization Camp at Montgomery Today CROWDS CHEER AS
 MANY UNITS PASS Regiment Has Made Such Warm Friends in Birmingham That Re-
 gret Over Departure is
 Universal

Hep-Hep-Hep-The Second regiment boys passed in review along Birmingham streets yesterday morning, making magnificent showing, while hundreds of people stood on the curbing, applauding and waved a farewell to the gallant fel- lows who have sojourned in Birmingham for the last three months, participa ting in practically every patriotic demonstra- ton. and always. adding greatly to each occasion.
 The Second regiment boys are claimed by Birmingham, and local people feel that when this bunch of fine fellows go to the front that they will be repre- senting Birmingham. though many of the men, and some whole companies, hail from various parts of the state.
 Col. Allen Crenshaw led the parade yesterday morning as commanding off, cer of the regiment, and just as the pa- rade reached the Chamber of Commerce
 1t was halted by committee of ladies representing the womans relief corps of the Grand Army of the Republic, and beautiful silk flag was presented to the regiment by Mrs H. w. Swope as token of the esteem In which they are held by Birmingham, and especially the ladies of the G. A. R. relief corps Mrs. Swope's remarks were replied to by Col onel Crenshaw, who accepted the flag in few well chosen words, and imme- diately mounted his horse and ordered the parade ahead.
 The men were well groomed, their per- feet step and uniform carriage were a decided feature, while the army supply wagons bringing up the rear added real warlike aspect to the occasion The Second regiment band furnished the music, and there was not a hitch in the formation or march, which lasted prac- tically 45 minutes. This was Birming- hams first opportunity to see the entire regiment on parade. and the showing they made was highly pleasing to the spectators as was shown by frequent out bursts of applause from the crowds on the streets.
 The regiment leaves at an early hour this morning for Montgomery, where they will go into the mobilization camp awaiting orders to the front, with the best wishes of every Birmingham ctI- zen. A vacancy will be left thrilled In the hearts of patriotic Birmingham peo- pie
 Col. Allen Crenshaw has made many friends for himself and his men while stationed here. and has always rendered assistance to any local celebration, fur nishing his band. infantry or whole regi- ment in parades, at any and all times that he was called upon. No officer has ever been stationed here who in such a short time became as universally popu- lar among all classes. The members Of his staff proved themselves very much like their colonel In this respect, and the entire family of officers were re- ceived in Birmingham with a warm well come.
 The hike that the Second regiment will take to Montgomery will consume about 10 days, due to the. fact that there are so many recruits in the various companies enlisted since the regiment located in Birmingham.
