119 Forsyth St.,
AMERICUS,
Before another sun has set the the
boys of the Americus Light Infantry
will be tented on the famous battle Held
of Chlckamauga.
There is quite a change in the condi-
tlona which exist there now and those
which existed when the fathers and
grandfathera of some of these same boys
tented on those fields during the days
when the hillsides ran red with blood,
and shot and shell fell thick and fast
This time the soldiers have neat tents
and well prepared meals and all they
are expected to do is to answer reveille
and the other calls made upon them and
prepare themselves in peace for war
The other time the vaulted canopy
heaven was the coveriug which protect
ed the soldiers gathered there, the rock
ribbed hMls furnished a resting place,
war, fierce and terrible, was being
waged, and hardtack furnished ralions
for the men who oftener went without
anything.
Ameiicus' soldiers have been making
ready for this trip for some time past.
Tbecrowning event of their prepara
tions was Sunday night when I)r. A
Campbell, the company's chaplain,
preached a special sermon at the Bap
tist tabernacle for tl e benefit of the
members of tho company and their
friends. The rain which fell about dusk
had a goodly effect in the way of cool"
ing off tho atmosphere and keeping away
some of the large crowd which would
surely have tilled the tabernacle to over
flowing. As it was the spacious tent
was filled, but none were turned away,
Almost the full membership of the
company was present, and the boys
looked well in tbelr handsome uniforms.
The text was from tbe fifth versa of tho
twentieth psalm:
In the name of our God we will set
up our banners.”
Beautifully adapted to tbe occasion
was tbe sermon and eloquent indeed it
was. Every sentence carried with it
some gem of thought and there were
many in that large congregation who
were sorry when Dr. Campbell conclud-
The sermon was sueh as was to
have been oxpected of the man—that Is
praise enough. The boys appreciated it
and there is no doubting that it will bo
profitably recelled.
Yesterday the members of the Ameri
cus Light Infantry were np early. They
began early to make their preparations,
and by 10 o’clock luggage of all kinds
was being hurried to the armory. Be
fore that hour members ot the company,
some in full uniform and others with
only the uniform pacts, could be seen
on the streets.
At 2 o’clock tho order was given to
fall In.
The baggage had previously been sent
to the depot, and In less time, after the
ardor told of above, than it takes to tell
it the company was on the march to the
depot in command of Lieut Harper—
Capt Bagley’s business engagement pre
venting him from going into camp with
tho company.
A holt was made at Dr. John E. Hall’s
drug store, where each of the militiamen
was given a glare of cool soda water with
the vetoran druggist’s best wishes for a
pleasant week.
Then the march to the depot was again
taken up. Tho next halt was on the
long platform at the south side of the
Southwestern depot There the roll was
cnllod, and final Instructions were given
tbe boys, who were promptly marched
to a position near the special coach and
baggage ear which were in waiting for
them. Ranks were broken. The quar
termaster and his anistants went to look
after the baggage, while tbe officers and
privates fixed themselves comfortably in
the speolal coach.
A few minutes later the train came.
Tbe baggage car was let In the middle of
the train and the coach was given a
place on the rear end This being done tbe
train moved off. Tho large orowd which
had assembled to see tho soldiers safely
started on their journey gave a cheer,
while the many ladies who has assem
bled in honor of the occasion waved
their handkerchiefs. The hoys an
swered back with three cheors and a
tiger and a handkerchief salute. By
that time those members of the Ameri
cus Light Infantry were on their way to
Chlckamauga.

Junior 8econd Lieutenant J.E. Mathis
went to Chlckamauga In advance of the
boys to make arrangements for their
coming. Dr. A. B. Campbell, chaplain,
and Dr. A. B. Hinkle went with the com
pany. These gentlemen will swell the
number of the Americus Light Infantry-
in camp to even forty.
At Fort Valley the train which bore
tbe Americus boys tork on a coach and
baggage car, which was tilled with
the Perry Rifles and that com
pany’s luggage. These two companies
remained at Macon until 12 o'clock last
night, when in company with the re
mainder of the regiment, with the ex
ception of the Eastman and Columbus
companies they left on a special train
over the Central road which will carry
them through to their destination, by
way of Griffin and Rome, without
change.
Col. C M. Wiley of the Second regi
ment witli his staff, Lleuteneut Colonel
E. I). Hiiguewln, Major R. N. Hnitz-
claw and Adjutant John P. Ross, will
he in charge of the camp during this
week, in conjunction with Col. Glrrnrd
of the Third Battalion, which will also
bo in camp. These commands .will con
tinue in camp until next Timid ly at
noon.
Everybody in A Ulricas \v lI join In
wishing the Ameriuux Light infantry a
pleasant and profitable week of camp
life.
NO TBS.
Seven lawyers are among the Ameri
cus hoys.
Nothing stronger than water was car
ried by any of the boys.
-‘That ain’t anything like going to
war,” said a one armed vetoran.
Capt Bagley regretted very much that
he couldn't go with tho boys. Ho may
go Intor.
Here's betting that the Americas
Light Infantry will have tho prettiest
dress uniform in the camp.
Maj. Lewis lost a leg at the battle of
Chlckamauga. He wanted to go with
the boys, but couldu’t get off. -
Mr. D. T. Wilson went with the boys
as a guest of honor. He bad a brother
killed at the battle of Oblckamanga.
Many ladies went down to wave' the
boys a farewell and many of them wished
they were soldiers and could go, too.,

Carter and Private Tom Gulee may go
later In tho week to spend a few day*.
So fur os has been heard-from the
Amorlcus Light infantry is the only
company that carried its chaplain,along.
The boys appreciate Dr. C.impboil's
going vory much.
Just before the train pulled out Mr.
Thornton Wheatley gave the quarter,
master threo crackers and a piece of
oheeso, which, he explained, tho army of
North Virginia considered a week's
rations for a company during the days
of the sixties.
Horace Pointer, Frank Blnyard, Tom
Westheimer, Jim Hitt, Tom Rouell,
Ben Mitchell and Cal Cooper was tho
colored contingent that went along.
They make up the cooks, drum corps
and general utility man and they are all
artlits In their special lines.
If Capta'n Bagley had gone there
would have been three oaptalns along—
the other two being Captain Waltor
Crisp, of tho Sumter Light Guards, and
Capt Jamea Taylor, of the Cadets at
Cuthbert. These latter are, however,
high privates in the rear rf.nks.
