CHRISTMJS Ih CfflP Many Pleasent Incidents of the Day, « • MUCH IllßKff. FiM'S Some Presents Made—lnterchange of Courtesies—The Court Martial- Major John G. Ballanc?, who has been acting as inspector on the w/aff of Genera! Bates, and Lieutenant I). S. ?*anley, aide de-camp to the general, “left yesterday noon to join their regiment, the Twenty second infantry at Fort McCook, near Omaha, Beb., and wiM w with it to the Philippines some time in January. Both of these officers have made many friends since being in Macon, the good wishes of whom follow them to their far-distant destination. Major H. L. Scott, assistant adjutant g< neral of the Second division. First corps, and Major W. Michalson, chief ordnance officer of the s&me division, were over from Xmericu.- Sunday night to confer with General Bates relative to the rnove miut. of that division to Cuba. The Signal corps, which are err-amped opposite the Second Ohio, are the only soldiers here who have ihe regulation winter quarters. Two tents are placed end to end. and a small wooden shanty is built between them, in which is placed a stove. Thus the heat from one stove warms two tents. Bakeries are being erected in every reg iment, but it i- doubtful if they will be completed in time to be used before the troops are ordered away. SECOND OHIO. The soldiers had a double Christmas. Both Sunday and Monday was celebrated as such by them. It was ihe fir.-:; Christ mas they had epent together as soldiers, and they made the best of it. Out in the Second Ohio Sunday was observed as a feast day. nearly every company having a big turkey dinner. A News reporter ac cepted the hospitality of Captain \V. J. White and dined with company K. The menu was on° worthy to grace the boards of any first-class hotel, and was appetis ing to say the least. Monday afternoon the largest crowd that has visited the regi ment since it has been at .Macon, were out there and the ladies were strongly in the majority. Colonel Kuert had given the boys a holiday. There had been no drills or any kind of work al! day, and it was the intention not to hold dress parade in The evening, but when he saw trie crowd that ha I come out to see his regiment, he hated to disappoint them, and the parade was held, much to the pleasure of the visitors. Sunday afternoon the officers of the reg iment called in a .body at the residence of General Wilson an 1 paid their respect,?. It was one of the pleasant little things that inaks up a gnat man's daily life, and the general appreciated it. Chaplain C\ B. Crawford is still quite indisposed. He is a sufferer from asthma. Owing to the contemplate d early de parture of the regiment for Cuba, ful loughs are exceedingly hard to get, but a few have been granted for seven days each. They are as follows: Private* Henry O’Brien, Willis Troxel, company C. and Thomas E. Hance, band, to Lima: Thomas E. Mullen and Charles O. Decker, com pany D. to Van Wert: and Nat. P. Cook, company 1, to Kenton. PROVOST QUARTERS. The new provost marshal. 'Major Hayes, has already instituted some radical changes and around the provost guard barracks. Yesterday he reduced the num ber of posts, almost half, and substituted a patrol instead, thus lightening the work the men have hail to perform. It is also rumored that the summary court, whiuh has been trying prisoners charged with petty violations of the regulations, is to be abandoned, an 1 all prisoners sent to their respective regiments for trial here after. * Some thirty mtn from the three Ohio eolnpanies which have been on provost duty, and about a dozen from the Engi neer company there, nave been detached from thi ir cdnlmands. and will go with the division headquarters to Cuba.

The depredations of the ne°ro soldiers have become -o numerous of late that it has been necessary to convene two court martials at Gamp Haskell to try the of fenders. The old court, which tried sev ! eral murder cases last week., reconvened yesterday morning, and started work on a ; docket of eleven-new cases. Another court martial has been organized, and commen i ced its work yesterday, also. The ro.:t-r of the court is as follows: | Lieutenant Colonel Richard C. Croxtom, I Sixth Virginia volunteer infantry. Captain W. D. Hammond, Seventh Uni- ■ ted States volunteer infantry. Captain S. S. Janney, Seventh United « States volunteer infantry. Captain Crandal Mackey. Tenth United States volunteer infantry. Captain T. L. Leatherwood, Third North Carolina volunteer infantry. • j Captain Robert Le ’Masurier, Sixth Vir ; ‘ ginia volunteer infantry. Captain Sydney T. Moore, Sixth Virginia I volunteer infantry. First Lieutenant Joseph J. Hood, Third i North Carolina volunteer infantry. ■ i First Lieutenant Harrison B. 'Brown, ■ Third North Carolina volunteer infantry. ; ' First Lieutenant Thomas Campbell, . ‘Seventh "United States vclunteer infan- ■ I try. : First Lieutenant Edward A. Brown. Tenth United States volunteer infantry. First Lieutenant Alfred M. Ray, Tenth , United States volunteer infantry. First Lieutenant R. C. L. Moncure. Sixth ’ ' Virginia volunteer infantry. Captain William G. Chaffee, Tenth Uni . ' ted States volunteer infantry, judge advo ! i eate. The officers of the Sixth Virginia and ■ ; Third North Carolina do not like the idea of being mustered out, and are sending numerous telegrams and letters to their ; representatives in congress, protesting i i against the action of the military authori ; ties. They say their men come out to see Cuba, and that it would be an imposition [ to send them home, just* when they had ? evety reason to believe they were about to see the “Promised Land.." The object , of the officers is obvious. SECOND OHIO NOTES. Camp Fornanc*. Ga.. Dec. 25.—Christ mas passed off quietly with the members , of the Second Ohio. Several companies in [ the regiment had streets decorated, how i ever, and they put up an elegant apnear | ance. Among the best were companies K I i and C. The mess hails were also fixed up : ! and decorated in a lovely manner, and i nearly every company in the regiment en j joyed a Christmas dinner of turkey. Com pany C.’s bill of fare could not have been i beaten, and from reports the dinner was > • very fine. Some “grub” from Ohio was also enjoyed, as several boxes were sent from friend* and relatives in that state. i Presents also arrived and many a heart was gladdened by some token of love from a distant friend or relative. Company G. has taken up its quarters ■ in those made vacant by company D, and i now the two companies from Ke.nton, Ohio, enjoy the pleasure of each others' : presence. During its stay at. Macon, the ccmyany has made an excellent record. Captain Deming is a soldier in all that the word implies. an<X under his military i rule h is added new honors to the already long list of company G. Company D. Is one of the best companies in the regiment, and we predict for it a record as good as that attained by its p’redecessor. A large number of passes were issued Sunday and several of the boys took din ner with their friends in the city. Captain Lafferty, of company A, was presented with a golden cord and tassel for his sword, and he ’in " turn passed around the cigars. The captain is a pop ular officer with bis men. Upper Sandusky sent company 8.. of that town SSO for a Christmas dinner. Suffice it to say. they had a good dinner and did justice to the occasion. The guards are now compelled to pay more attention to guard duty. A sentinel is not allowed to stand idle at his post, but instead must keep constantly on the move, as we did at Chickamauga. How ever. the men make no objection, but in stead seem to be pleased that such is the case. Colonel Kuert says the regiment will go to Cuba, and that it will leave here in ten days or two weeks. He was in conversa tion with an official high in authority a day or so ago and learned that we would be sent to the island as soon as the Sixth Ohio and Thirty-firs: Michigan regiments were disposedb of. The Second will doubtless be on its way to Cuba within two weeks. Adjutant Albright, acting regimental ' adjutant, is making an excellent record for himself. He is very strict with the ’ ays a; guard mour:. and the guard now make an excellent appearance. They come out with their shoes shined and they all appear so well, he finds much difficulty in selecting the orderlies. Cor y. MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27 1898. Deadly Cancer Cured at Last! Do Not Give Up in De spair—There is Hope! F"P ages it has been thought that Cancer is incurable, and 'Lu.'p-o unfortunate as to have) 1 his dreadful affiictiou have con -idered themselves beyond hope of 1 recovery. The doctors are ab solutely unable to afford any re lief, and the poor sufferer might well consider himself on the >vay I to an early grave. » It is now easy to see why the i J.octors have failed to cure Cancer. > I'heir theories have been all wrong, : and hence their treatment mis ; directed. They have made the mistake of thinking that by cut -1 l ing out the sore or ulcer, known as Cancer, the disease would be •rotten rid of, and the patient re stored to health. But the cruel knife accomplishes nothing, for 1 1 he Cancer promptly returns.and is always more virulent than before. Irhas been demonstrated, beyond iloubt, that Cancer is a blood disease, and can not be cured by the surgeon’s knife because the blood can not be cut "Several years ago my wife had an i ulcer on her tongue, which, though an ; joying, was not regarded seriously at jrst.
