Soldiers Getting Plenty of
Lumber for Tent Floors.
THE SEVENTH TO COME
Hargreaves Court Martial—Gen.
Wilson’s Proposed Revied—
Eager for Pay
The soldiers have at last been given
lumber enough to build floors in their
tentK. Nearly every man has a flior for
his tent and those that have not the lum- J
her will get it today and tonight the -
'will sleep above the ground.
\ t . It ia now
thought that the .
.vops will remain here
for so”** _
time as they are getting in shape
'tfor cold weather.
Many of the officers say that Macon is
one of the coldest places that they have
ever visited. One of the officers who is
from Michigan said last night that he suf
fered more fro©', cold with the thermome
ter at4o than he did in Michigan with it
about 16 degrees below zero. They give
as a reason that they have fires all during
the day in that country, while here they
only get to a fire occasionally ..
It ‘is now a certainty that the Seventh
cavalry will cmoe to Macon. Mayor Price
and has tendered the use of the Central
City park as a. camp site for the men. It
was on that condition that the regiment
-was sent here. The camp site on which
the raiment has been at Huntsville has
proved*yery unsatisfactory and the officers
have been anxious to move for some time.
It is expected that the regiment will arrive
here within the next few days.
Tin? couht martial, which -went into ses
sion yesterday at Camp Haskell, to inves
tigate the charges against Capt. Har
graves,the negro officer, has not yet com
pleted its work and it wil probably take
several days to finish. Several witnesses
are here from Knoxville and the examina
tion will occupy at least two days. When
the court completes its work on the Har
graves case it will take up the investiga
tion of the Sixth Virginia trouble and en
deavor to find out who the leaders of the
''mutiny Wer£.
Since the trouble on the night of their
Arrival liift regblieiit lihs been Under dose
arrest and the men have been hard at
work. Their side arms have been re
turned to them, but the guns will be kept
for some time yet. The officers in this
regiment are not competent and it is
thought that some if them wil be dismiss
ed from the service when the Investigatng
board completes its -work.
Cen. Wilson will return here in about
a week and will begin to make prepara
tions for the grand review that is to be
held. Since it has been learned that
President McKinley will visit here it is
thought that the general will not have the
review until the prsident comes. At pres
ent there are about 6,500 troops in the city
and with the Seventh cavalry there will
be about 7,500. To review all of these
troops will take sometime and it is the
opinion of some of the officers here that
the parade will be one of the biggest that
has been held in this country in some
time.
The parade would be sure to draw
crowds to Macon, as did the Knoxville pa
rade and it will be a big thing for Macon.
All of the regiments are now in the pink
of condition and would no doubt make a
splendid appearance. Central City park
was mentioned by Gen. Wilson as the
place for the parade and it is said that
no better ground could have been selected.
Dress parades are held every afternoon
•by all of the regiments except the Second
Ohio. This regiment has no parade
ground and only guard mount can be held.
The parades are watched with interest by
many people from the city and one of the
-First Georgia officers who watched the
parade of teh Third Engineers yesterday
afternoon said that the men drilled as well
as any regiment in the service.
The provost guard holds guard mount,
every morning in front of the guard house
on Cherry street. Guard mounting is one
of the minor details of the army,but it is
There Were Five
Yesterday
We Know Os
Who, “after looking further,” came back and
bought 15.00 and 18.00 Suits Here. They all
said in effect:
“You have the completes!
stocks, the best assort
ment and the fairest
prices we found any
where.”
These things are no mystery. Any man with
eyes to see and hands to feel and sense to decide
can prove to himself, beyond the shadow of a
doubt that it is money saved to buy of
i very interesting. It is more for form than
. anything else. Generaly the neatest pfi
| vate on the guard is selected as orderly for
' the day for the comanding officer. In
I some of the companies the contest for ord
| erly is spirited and the men take great in
terest in the selection. The new officer of
‘ I the day is also chosen and the old officer
lof teh day is relieved from duty. The dif
ferent relefs that are to serve on provost
i duty are also assigned and it is by this
; formation that everything i put in shape
for the day.
The men of the Second Ohio and the
i Third Engineers seem to be anxious to be
I anxious to be mustered our of service, as
do all other volunteer regiments. The
men say that they enlisted to fight and not
to remain in camp. If the rule made by
the war department some tie ago is fol
lowed out the Engineers will be the first
to be mustered out, sb they were the last
to he mustered in. j
All or the soldiers and oMcers seem to
be wen r „e,sed with Macon. but 6ay that

All of them are looking forward to the
coming of he paymaster, who is expected
here every day. The canteens at the dif
ferent camps have been liberally patron
ized during the past few days, but as soon
as the paymaster comes and the men. re
ceive their miney their trade will fall off.
The men only buy from the canteen when
they are out of money and that is gen

Oilcloth Ceiling-*.
Oilcloth is the new material for paper
ing ceilings, the term “paper” being used
at present, in a very elastic sense, signify
ing anything that can be put on walls or
ceiling. The advantage of an oilcloth
ceiling is readily discernible, as dust, like
good actions, is sure to rise, and if one’s
home is illuminated by gas or lamps there
is only the recourse to the unsightly chan
delier protectors to keep the ceiling from
getting smudged. The oilcloth can be
washed frequently and be kept, by the aid
of a damp oloth, as good as new for in
finite spaces of time or until one Droves tc
a newer apartment.
The task of putting on the oilcloth re
quires an expert, as the joining is not the
easiest thing to do. If you think so, try it.
The patterns of oilcloths seem particularly
well adapted for ceilings, with their scroll
and line effects, which do not conflict with
the patterns of the wall paper or its mono
chromatic effect.
In line with the ceilings is the new ma
terial for kitchen window curtains.—New
York Herald.
Broke the Record.
A London paper says that an adjutant
in the Salvation Army has achieved the
remarkable feat of singing 59 hymns in
59 minutes. The occasion on which this
record was made was called a “singing
battle.” He began with “I Will Follow
Jesus,” and hymn after hymn followed
swiftly. When he reached the doxology
after singing eight extra hymns he was
2t 4 minutes ahead of the stipulated time.
When he finished, he shouted, “Bless the
Lord, I’ve broken the record 1”
