1 semi you, :it llie request of
friends n short ilcscription of soldier
lit** at ('liicknniuiiKii.
The tirst tliiii"- a soldier litis to
learn here is to obey orders, eat and
drink what he eun <>vt and say notli
in»-. It is very hot and dry here at
present. The ground is so hot that
one can not walk on it without hav
ing on shoes during the day. The
day we arrived it rained and a couple
of days before that but since we went
into eanip we have had no rain.
Chickaniauga l'ark comprises the
old battleground where the boys of
the civil war fought. It is fifteen
miles long and six miles wide. All
through it one can see monuments
and old cannons and slalis telling
how and where brave boys once
gained the victory for Old (Jlory.
The principle trees here are oak and
pine, a few walnut and a kind of
evergreen. The principle grain is
corn and most all kinds of vegetables j
are grown. The mellons are very j
enticing and injurious to the hoys'
health but nothing can prevent them
from getting them only that they
have not the money to buy with and
now nearly all the boys of my com
pany are troubled that way, for two
reasons: When they first reached
here the climate and water made
them sick; very few if any escape, i
and they will give the last cent they !
have or pawn their clothing to buy |
what ever their appetite craves. I
We get bread most always, some-j
times crackers, meat, such as it is, J
about twice aday. < Mice we had good
steak. We have had eggs a couple
of days. For drink we get coffee of!
about the rankest kind, without j
milk. We can only fret half the
water we want and not very good at
that. We gel ice every day but
it soon melts. At present there is !
an improvement in our rations. In
most parts of the park there is very
good Imithing facilities. Water '
conies from a pipe line and we get
shower baths. lCvery one has to
take a bath twice a week or as much
often as he chooses. Company M,
has received many compliments as
to the quality of its men. The boys
are proud of this.
We get drills from 0::to a. m.to
!l a. in. Afternoon drill, *>:•"M» to •">,
with evening dress parade. This is
short but it is a very line sight to see
a whole army in uniform on drill.
On Wednesday last we marched six
miles in the boiling hot sun for in
spection, and part the way made
double quick time (which is running).
I think there was something like a
hundred dropped out of the ranks
but all recovered. Today the whole
division was inspected by General
Brookes in regard to going to l'ark
II ice. We don't know whether we
will go or not. There is a strife be
tween the ">th and !>th regiments as
to which w ill go.
The Y. M. C. A. is doing a very
good thing for the boys. There are
several large tents where they hold
meetings every evening; also give
all the paper and envelopes and furn
ish a place to write, which thousands
of the boys take advantage of. When
the time for services arrives, all
writing stops and all join in the
meeting. I wish to tell you what
we have to carry when under heavy
marching orders. A knapsack with
two extra suits of clothes, blue and
brown, under clothes, and extra pair
of shoes, a heavy sack with dishes,
canteen, woolen blanket, rubber
blanket, tent, gun and a belt with
fifty rounds of cartidges, so you see
there is some little work as well as
s|H>rt. 1 hope this will interest all
who may read it. Our hoys are all
i well. Hoping we may meet again,
i I am, Sincerely yours,
AllTHt K JIlNKI!.

Lopez vti Laporte,
AH "if" as large as the nianipu
: la tors of newspaper type see lit to
j make it, protruded in the game last
Saturday afternoon, as a nail pro
trudes on a cellar door i»n which the
small hoy of the family is accustom
ed to toboggan. "If" Laporte had
engaged better players from abroad,
"if" some of nur turn had not been
guilty of some very had—bad is a
mild adjective to describe it—ball
playing, the home team might have
won, but as it was, they suffered a
defeat that does not soil their record,
Hi to 1 ratio.
Walters and Jackson of Bern ice
assisted Laporte; the former twirled
the sphere in yoenian fashion while
the latter caught a superb game.
Fllery .Swank put up a good game
oil lirst base and John Heahcn cut
the daisys every time lie brought
the wagon tongue into contact with
the horsehide. Short-stop, second
and third bases were played by
IJughcsvillo players who like some
other clubs, play without honor.

Hon. Henry Houck, who always
leaves a trail of good humor wher
ever he goes, lectured to a laige and
delighted audience last Tuesday eve
ning in the courthouse. llvery
sentence of his lecture was wreathed
in an olive branch of peace, i'athos
jolting against humor in the richest
and most varied assortment kept his
audience convulsed with laughter,
while he at the same time invoked
the angels of light and beauty to
show the pleasures of right living.
The Doctor is certainly a gent before
an audience, and his presence here
will ever lie welcomed.
