8 GOSSIP OF GAMPS 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 hev S °‘ nK !° bc Sfnt to C ’ Aa that the, are anxious to get there.

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 erally about the first of every month. Gloves SI.OO, $1.50, $2.25 for Xmas. Phillips. thEcity IN BRIEF.

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” A A FINE PROGRAMME To Raise Funds for the Vineville Parson age.
