About 8 o’clock the line was formed for supper and marched up to the shed, where etch roan was Issued two hard lack* and a cup of c >ffee. Percy Waller* gave a young tndy u hard tack, while we v«cre stopped In j Atlanta, and explained to her thai each 'man rir ived one a day—he eels it for 'breakfast, drinks water for ditin-'r and swells pp for supper. It Is a well known fact to soldiers that one hard tack will swell as large as the brim of a campaign hat, if enough water is furnished it. Then the long wait for the trains began In earnest.

Everything, to the naiive Georgian's eye, was different. The trees, the water, the earth, all were of Georgia. Every house, every hog, cow, every man, woman and child, was given a rousing cheer as we nftssed, and when the train stopped about three miies from the river many of the men got down and walked on Georgia soil, after three months absence, almost an age. And then the journey was re sumed. and at daybreak Saturday morning we were in .Macon, where Jossey, Clancey and Hall got leave to stay and visit relatives and friends, on condition that they take one of the sections behind us.

The chaplain of the second regiment, Rev. P. A. Murray, was sad. very sad. Ever since his appointment in June he had been In camp hard at work, doing all In his power to v.ln souls for Christ. He had become one of the most popular men In the regiment. Everybody liked him, and he loved ihe soldier boys. Now, to be thrown out on account of physical defects was too bad, was crushing to him. Yet, after a thor ough examination by the surgeons he was thrown out. As has been said, Mr. Murray Is very popular at Camp Lee; everybody finds it easy to get on with tiim, and on ac count of his good nature Major Wan narnalter and his assistant surgeons, along with mustering officer, Capt. Ful ler, decided to piny a. Joke on him. Dr. Wannamaker had almost completed the examination of Mr. Murray when he placed his right ear over the latter's heart. He listened to the rythmical beats of that organ, then changed ears. He backed oft a short distance, then again proceeded with the examination. "Captain,” he finally said, "you suf fer from rheumatism” "No, sir, f do not,” earn,- the prompt reoly. Dr. Griffith was called in and after an examination pronounced it a rheu matic heart. Dr. Poore concurred with the other physicians. Th ■ three with drew fora consultation, as Capt. Mur ray thought, but it was simply in order to give vent to their pent up laughter. Upon returning they found Capt. Mur ray in a brown study. "Captain, I shall have to turn you down.” Saturday • Bargains |S|H|OIEIS 100 pairs M»n‘* Fin* Kid 8ho#», *ll kMKI, popular Style*, for - - -08 c 210 pair* L*dl**‘ Fin* Oxford* ffnin* at half prlc*. for - - - -00 c 300 pair* Children'* BUpp*r*. *it*t 0 to ll* for • • • • 80c AtHulherin’s 846 Broad street.
