Major <!■.: eral 11. C. Corbin, omman.i er of the department of the east, v.-ith headquarters on Governors Island, N \v York, was th" guest of Mayor Howell and other prominent citizen.: of Atlanta WeiJnr -.la v upon the occasion of his visit to this city for the purpose of inspe-ting ■md reviewing the Sixteenth infantry, si.i’ion'.-.l at Fort McPherson. One of tii? most interesting statements made by General Corbin during his orief stay in Atlanta was regarding the pro posed icestublishmeiit of the military de partment of the gull. Lor which Atlan tans have been wot king ever since Hie old departm -nt of the gulf was merged with the department of Hie east sev -ral years ago. Win ;t asked ai:at li thought of the probability of reestablisi’ing the depart ment of the gull. General Corbin said: "That is a matter that rests ■ t.-ly with the war department at Washing ton. I have, however, been informed that a number of senators and repre sentatives (rum this section h.-iv? be come Interested in tho matter, although 1 am unable to state what has been the result of their efforts. I am as much in Hie dark as any one else. It is a fact, however, that there Is considerable work and expense attached to the removal or establishment of a department, and for that reason the officials of the war de partment will doubtless proceed carefully in this, as they do e in other matters." General Corbin was asked if he w xild favor reestablishing the department of the gulf in his reports to the war de partment. ' That is a matter upon which 1 am not expected to report." ho answered. Tiie war department has entire cltargo of all such matters, and anything I should ty regarding it would be entire tv gratuitous." The general wa.-- urged Io give his • views upon the matter, especially with reference to the desirability ot Atlanta i .is headquarters for a military depait mefit. ■ lie smiled before answering. “Anything that 1 should say," he re- q For Infants and Children. 1 The Kind You Have Always Bought | AVegetable Preparation for As- 1 : slmUating the Food andßegula- ■-?( _ ~ ff ! tingiheStomaclKandßowlsof | « L 83.1’8 LU© x/a/ Signature /A i Promotes Digestion.ChecrfuL sA? nessandßest.Contains neither | p P ./C t F Opium,Morphine nor‘MiaeraL | fia Ux ff si Not Narcotic.
