MUD SHOE-TOP DEEP
IN CAMP SHERIDAN
Men Enjoyed Trip South ;
Meet Other Mt. Vernon
Boys In Camp
(By WALTER H. HUNTSBERRY,
Correspondent of The Banner.)


CAMP SHERIDAN, Alabama, Sept
80 will try and tell you something
about our trip to the sunny south"
As you already know, we left a sad
crowd at home last Friday morning
We realize that we left good town
and lots of good people.
We arrived in Newark at $40, took
the b. & o. cut of there for Column
bus, arriving there at $40. We went
past the barracks, but did not see very
many men there.
Our mess tools were passed at
1l:l5, but did not get our dinner until
1880 in Cincinnati. Menu: Soup,
bread, coffee, mighty fine eats for men
not doing anything but riding the cush-
ions.
We laid over in Cincinnati until
about 2:lJ. After dinner we took ii
hike for about Is or 20 minutes. Lots
of good things were said about our
marching and appearance in Cincin-
natl.
We met f Battery Of Jackson, o., at
Cincinnati about o'clock and lett at
2:4j, arriving in Aurora, Ind, at 3:45.
After leaving Aurora, we went up a
hill IL miles long. The train just
moved and that was all.
We pulled into North Vernon, Ind,
at 5:4j. North Vernon was a small
| place. We did not see many large
cities. ! guess they took us down the
! Ohio river valley to Louisville Arriv-
ing in Louisville at . p. M, we thought
we would get slcepers but got fooled,
We had just one Pullman and that
was for the officers. We ''rooidcs"
had to make hunks out of the seats.
Believe me, we had some sleepers!
Left Louisville at II o'clock Friday
night. The flights were out" at II.
We got up at $50, going into Bowling
border line from Kentucky into Ten.
ncssce at 70; went through long tun
mel at 7:40. The train pulled into
Nashville, Tenn, at $3.50 a. m. Some
class to that city.
We unloaded in Nashville and took
Il hike for about 20 minutes. f Bat
did not cheer them, but when old i
Battery came along we got all kinds
Of applause. SO we claim we tool
the prize in Nashville.
We had dinner here and left a
1850. We crossed the pretty Tennes
see river at . O'Clock. II was "A pret
not get to see the Ohio river becaus,
we crossed it at night
- Landed in birmingham, Ala, a
/ S:l5. We saw several large Stee
/ mills there. Left about o'clocl
and arrived in Montgomery at l2:4
: Il. M. The train pulled in on side
! track and stayed there until morning
! We got out to the camp at o'clock
: The mud was shoe.top deep. 1t wa
, some sight to see, 1t had rained har
and part of the tents had been blow
, down. Cots, blankets and bed sack
= were issued to us.
We were busy all day smoothing tn
= ground under the tents and diggn
small bitches for the water to ru
$ away. We had fine dinner and ais
X good supper Everybody is tired an
ready for II good nights rest.
