Yesterday’s Atlanta Journal
prints the (pUowing most inter
esting special from Camp North
en , at Camo Griffin:
Camp Northen, Griffin, Aug.
15. —When the Journal reached
camp containin ' the Informa
tion that there was some proba
bility of the Third Georgia regi
ment being sent to Poato Rico
at an early date, the boys mani
fested much enthusiasm, and
mighty cheers, one after an oth
er, went up from the different
company streets from the throats
of the brave boys who are impa
tient to “illustrate Georgia in
some kind of active service.
The Third Georgia, as stated
in the Journal recently, is not
only the largest regiment ever
raised in the South, but ir of
splendid makeup in every par
ticular, and the officers are deep
ly disappointed and despondent
over the thought of the growing
chances that they will not have
the coveted opportunity of see
ing active service.
Company 1), Cant. Henry J.
Stewart, o f Rome, was mustered
into the service'last Wednesday
with one hundred enlisted men.
It is generally conceded that
Company 1) is one of the best
companies in the regiment in
many respects. It is compose i
of boys from North and Sout\\
vreorgia, and these men from
the land of the pine and wire
grass,with the sturdy mountain
eers, constitute a body of men
that would be a pride to aijy
regiment. The muster roll is as
follows, and every man is ready
for service:

Tom Q linn, a bright, hand
some youth of Rome, is mascot
for the regiment.
On account of the vandalism
of a few tough characters who
have found their way into the
regiment Col. Candler has been
redveed to the necessity of in
stituting very rigid rules in re
gard to soldiers leaving the camp
Five men from each company
only are allowed to leave the
camp each day. Since this order
blue coats are not so much in
evidence in Griffin.
First Lieutenant Benjamin T.
Brock, of company D, was com
mander of the guard Thursday
last, and the first commissioned
officer who has filled the place
since the Third came to camp.
The hospital is practically de
serted, there being only a few
laid up with some insignificant
complaints. The health of the
regiment is in ignifi lent, and
the sanitary conduct of the camp
is fine. Every department is do
ing its work well and everything
is running like clock work. The
companies that have not recruit
ed up to their in iximum strength
are rapidly filling up and it will
be a question of only a short
while before the whole regiment
is mustered in. Capt. Henry J.
Stewarc, of Ro ne, company B,
bears the distinction of posses
sing the handsomest sword in
the regiment, which was pre
sented to him two months ago
by the citiz iis of R> ae as a
token of the high esteem in
which he is hdd by hi■< peo
ple. He was formerly captain] oi
the 11 ill City Cadets.
During a severe storm several
afternoons ago the tall flag pole
from whose top proudly “Old
Glory” was snapped in twain,
and that defiant flag which was
never known to lower to human
foe went down before the fury
of the elements.
It is commmly rumored
among the boys today that the
regiment will strike camp in a
few days and take up quarters
in some other part of the coun
try.
Large crowds of visitors and
Griffin people come out and
view dress parade every after
noon and it is an inspiring sight

has already laid its grim hand upon him,
and doctor after doctor and rtiedieine after
medicine have been tried in vain—now, per
haps, comes some kind friend who says,
“Dr. Pierce can cure you, write to him:
His “Golden Medical Discovery” has res
cued thousands who were further gone
than you.”
“He is chief consulting physician of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y.; he has been at the head
of this great Sanitarium for thirty years; he
has probably had more experience in treat
ing severe chronic diseases than any other
physician living. Write to him anyway;
that will cost you nothing. He will gladly
and freely answer your letters with friend
ly, fatherly advice which will be of value
beyond all price!”
Now is the critical instant Will the
patient give up in despair and let the angel
of disease drag him away from wife and
family and children, or will he grasp the
hand of the angel of life in one more su
preme effort for restoration ? Are you
standing between the contending angels?
Which wins?
Mrs. Emily Howe, of 7 Park Avenue. Chicago.

afflicted with what seemed to lie symptoms of
consumption. I purchased three bottles of Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical DiAovery and it cured
him completely.”
