A Trip to Cliicainaugo. It was Monday, July. 11th that the Horry Hussars loft for Chicamauga I'ark, Gfa , and it was Tuesday following when they arrived at that most historic old battlefield, Of course our trip was Ion# and tiresome, tut how much did that matter when every man in Company "II" was thrilled at the very idea of taking such a grand trip. How many "fell out"? Not a one until next morning when sick pall was sounded, and then only two were our most timid little creatures. ICvery one in the company was enjoying himself until Thursday night when all in our company ixicpty few eflicers were on duty. The mornings were spent in battalion and regimental drills while the afternoons were spent by some in lying around camp, cracking jokes, while o' hers visited Chat t.an(?oga i\ nd e 1 so whoro There were several thousand soldiers on the field, both regulars and militiamen, some of whom were cavalry while the others wr.ro in f ;utry. I t is no little sight to see so many soldiers marching with cheerful hearts and willing minds on the battlefields that their brave ancestors fou /ht. One might think, that in a "rough push" as the army is called, that we had no services on Sunday, but such would be false. We had the 2nd Regiment's chaplain, Rev.Jeter, who inspired every man in our regiment as we sat in the shade of trees Army life to a great extent, is what, one makes it, and because one wears the kakki uniform, that is no reason why ho should not he recognized and respected as much as he who wears his broad-cloth. We were indeed sorry not to have Capt Chas .J. Kpps to act as captain of our company but we got the ben clit of his commands, as lie was appointed to act as Major of the 2nd Battalion. We wore also sorry that our captain could not accompany us home, as ho is now .acting captain of Company "Al" of the 2nd S. C. Regiment. The Hussars are improving greatly an.I we wero disappointed in not having our entire company with us for the ten days outing. Now, someone has asked: "Did you have good conduct?" Well, this can very quickly bo answered in the affirmative. We had excellent behavior, considering our environments and the many influences. After having had such a lino trip, it is hoped that wo can soon have a reception in Conwav to which wo can invite some of the fairer sex, and it is also believed that a sponsor for our company will be elected _ ^ . i _ * m \xr \\r ill. mis nine*. m. v? . >v . Charged With Contempt of Court. Nancy A Roberts, known in the neighborli md sis Toad Roberts, is again having trouble with the Ucitfd States Court.
