The positions of each regiment, brigade, etc., of Federal and Confederate troops were marked, showing the advance position of each command on the field. Coming over to the fields near Fredericksburg, scattered over the territory of Fredericksburg, Salem Church, Chanceliorsille and the Wilderness, I frmnH a int nf beautiful monuments erected by the different Northern States to the memory ci their gallant de&d. One monument at S&lem church, erected by the State of New Jersey, had on one side a memorial to the gallant Alabama, brigade which drove them back at Salem church. I found only a few markers of the Confederate troops, among them the last bivouac of Lee and Jackson; a marker where Gen. Jackson was shot and one where his troops begged Gen. Lee to go to the rear?"Lee to the rear." I located the spot where the Third S. C. entered the Wilderness fight,1 and the very spot on which Col. Jas.

I determined then to come home and ask the people of NewTHE TRINITY SCHOOL, Closing Exercises Held on Last Wednesday Evening: Attended by j Large Crowd.

During the last year, the patrons of :he school erected a new and modern school building. In order to do this, hey have exhibited their interest in he betterment of the school in their.; community by voting a special tax. j rhe building is erected on ground 1 vhich was purchased for the purpose ibout one-half mile from Trinity J :hurch. The county superintendent of educa-! ion made a short talk to the people | ust before the exercises Dy tne cmi- j Iren began. The bu'.lding is a modern one, built >11 the iatest scientific plans. It is gratifying to know that the people are ery niucn interested in the improve- . tient and betterment of their school. They have realized that the school hould be the centre of the community .nd that it is an evidence of the pro^ressiveness of any community. The trustees have elected Miss Mc.Iil'an for another year though it is not mown whether or not she will accept.
