Many Cavalrymen at Fort.

Cavalry recruits will come into Fort
Ethan Allen by the hundreds. 1t is ex-
pected that in a few weeks the total
number of regular cavalrymen at the
post will number nearly 5000 as two
new regiments are to be recruited there
and the Second will be brought up to
war strength, which is 1895 officers and
men.
The new men are coming from Fort
Slocum, N. Y, Jefferson Barracks, Mo-,
Columbus, o., and Fort Thomas, Ky.
They will be quartered in the empty
barracks so far as possible and when
these are filled the overflow will bo
put in the field. There is not room
enough on tho reservation for all of
the troops and it will be necessary to
rent more land. The question of q suf-
fcient water supply is the problem,
and it is expected that some of the To-
cal engineers will assist in the work
of installing a system.

misty clouds hung darkly over the
English colonies in North America,
Beneath them he saw the sound Of
battle and the cry Of distress, but af-
ter while the clouds ald fog raised,
then disappeared in the Atlantic ocean
and the LADY said; The American
colonies are free. Then Washington
saw cities and villages springing up
farther west and began to cover the
prairies but cloudy, foggy mist be-
gan to gather over the country the
lady called the United States, and
Washington heard the voices of hatred
and disputing. Then these clouds
gathered thickly and the sound of
tresS and sorrow among the people
was heard, but after time half as
long as the first conflict, the clouds
dispersed as before beneath the waves
Of the Atlantic and an angel appeared
with a liberty cap and wreath and
placed them on the American flag and
said to the American people: Remcm-
Der you are brothers. Then Wash.

mountains and along the Pacific
coast.
A thick fog and heavy clouds then
gathered over Europe and extended
over Asia and Africa and slowly OK
tended over North and South America
and the most terrific fighting and the
most heartrending cries rent the air.
Then it spread as through the waves
of the Atlantic ocean and the clouds
thickened and the sound of cannon and
heavy conflict and a great cry of di1.
tress of the people in the United
States were heard, but of comparative
ly short duration, about half MS long
as when we fought among ourselves.
The clouds cleared from America and
from the rest of the world and as be-
fore We're covered by the waves of the
ocean, and the angel that placed the
liberty cap and wreath on the Amer
lean flag proclaimed that this was tine
last war we ever should have, and
there was great rejoicing throughout
the length and breadth of our beloved
country, the United States, and there
was harmony among all the people
and all were very happy in this pros,
porous nation whose God is the Lord
of heaven and earth.

dication of the widespread interest
throughout the state in the activities

Already some fifty of these local

these products to the establishment
of a 100000 incorporated company, h
with IS farmer members, at Carroll

semble products carload lots and put
them in shape for market.
The services of the bureau are
promptly at the disposal of any COM
munity in the state desiring them, for
this purpose. The bureau is anX-
ious to have those communities
where such organizations has not
yet been perfected, make application
at once. Every county in Georgia
should have it's own we'll organized de

reau will be able best to cooperate in
finding the most advantageous mar
kets for all of Georgias surplus pro
