Hemingway Happenings.
Hemingway, April 4: ?This to-\ ni
now has a first-class hot? 1, of \vh\h
Mr Jas M Eaddy is owner and p:?>-|
prietor. Mr Faddy has just finished i
building and furnishing this hotel, [
and it will add a great deal to the;
comfort and convenience of the trav- j
eling public. Traveling men may.
now be sure of good meals and ac-;
commodation whenever they come j
here.
At a meeting of the stockholders |
of the Farmers' Drug company held j
in the office of the W C Hemingway j
company, the following directors;
were elected: W C Hemingway, E A
Simmons, Jas M Eaddy, C DMcKin-l
ney, P E Watson. The following of- j
fieers were elected: President, P K
Watson; vice president, E A Simj
mons; secretary and treasurer, C D
; McKinney. The new company will
i begin business at once.
One of the two warehouses for toi.
bacco has just been finished and tne
other is well under way. Four prize
houses will be built at once and any
number will be added as called for
by the buyers. These houses are 65
by 140 feet each. The railroad will
put in sidings at once to accommodate
the tobacco people.
Mr W D Harmon has just finished
a handsome store, and will begin a
general merchandise business at once.
? - * /? 11
Mr Harmon is well and iavoramy
known in this section and has the
good will of all the people in his
new enterprise.
Mr J M Spivey has completed and
furnished his new house, and will
come to Hemingway at once and
probably go into business here.
Mr George S Hemingway of Rome
has decided to come to Hemingway,
and will be interested with W C
Hemingway & Co.
Hemingway is growing very fast.
The farmers in the vicinity have already
planted .'*,000 acres of tobacco
and feel assured of a crop of 2,000,000
to 2,500,000 pounds of good to

rented and buyers engaged, and a
fine market is expected this season.
Dwellings and stores are being built
just as fast as materials can be gotten
here, and Hemingway presents
as thriving an appearance as one
could wish to see.
To Prevent Flies from Breeding.
Keep the manure, while it is in the
stable, in a closed bin or pit.
Screen stables if possible.
Remove the manure at least twice
a week.
Every time the stalls are cleaned
and the manure placed in the pit or
bin sprinkle it with dry plaster (.powdered
gypsum) or slaked lime.
Be sure that you sprinkle the
cracks and crevices of the bin or pit,
as well as the cracks between the
planking of the stall floors.
If flies begin to breed in stored
manure they may be killed by thoroughly
spraying it with kerosene or
pans green and then pouring on
?/v iftOflk f Urt All A* *VA1_

son well in.
The objection to the use of kerosene
is that it ruins the manure for
fertilizing urposes. A solution of
iron sulphate (one pound to a gallon),
applied at the rate of one gallon
a day in a stable where one horse
is kept,will kill all the maggots. It
costs about $1 per 100 pounds, so
that the cost of keeping flies from
breeding in a one horse stable is
about 1 cent a day.
It is well to abolish old-fashioned
outhouses where possible. Where
this cannot be done a liberal amount
of Mme should be used, applied in
small quantities daily. Chloride of
lime is better than slaked lime, but
the latter is better than none at all.
Garbage cans should be thoroughly
cleaned after emptying, and the
contents should be sprinkled with
crude oil, lime or kerosene oil.

CONFEDERATES j
HOLD REUNION
Chattanooga Making Elaborate.
Preparations ;
Something of the Arrangements to
Care for the Confederate Veterans-'
Big Attendance Expected.
Chattanooga. Tenn., April 1.?This
city is preparing to entertain the
largest crowd that has attended a rc- j
union of the Confederate veterans and i
Sons of Veterans since the organisation
of the association It is a matter j
cf hi tc.ry tlv. the lirst steps toward |
organizing the southern survivors o? j
the Civil war were taken in Ch-.it:u- :
nooga. The New Orleans meeting, at
which the organization was effected,
by the election of Gen. John B. Gordon
commander-in-chief, resulted, in
large measure, from agitation started
here by Capt. J. F. Shipp, and others,
for an association of Confederates.
The New Orleans meeting elected Gen.
John B. Gordon to head the organization
and he called the first reunion of
the association for Chattanooga July
3, 4 and 5, 1890. Under all of the circumstances
the people of Chattanooga
feel that it is their duty to exert every
effort to make the coming reunion a
brilliant success. It is certainly their
pleasure to do so.

i ntr uaic ui viae ivuiuvu to ?
29 inclusive. Only two months remain
in which the work of the organization
may be done, but it is well under
way. The various committees
have been appointed, and are at work
in their respective spheres. Information
gathered from all sections of the
south indicates that fully 150,000 people
will be here.
The passenger departments of all
the railroads having lines entering
Chattanooga, report that already
there is much interest in the coming
reunion. Inquiries are received every
day about rates, hotel accommodations
and the progress of the work incident
to the entertainment of the veterans
and the thousands of visitors that will
be here. The! head of the passenger
department of one of the largest railway
systems in the south, has served
notice on the people of Chattanooga
that a record breaking crowd may be
expected.
The Confederate veterans met here
in their first reunion in 1890, twentythree
years ago. Chattanooga at that
time was but poorly prepared to care
for the visitors. Hotel accommodations
were inferior, local transportation
facilities poor and the people were
suffering financially from a collapsed
boom. However, that reunion was
voted a success.
The Chattanooga of today was built
since 1890. It is now a city of 100,000
with the best of hotel accommodations
and first-class local transportation facilities.
It has twenty-six hotels, one
of them a modern, twelve-story building
costing a million dollars. The
boarding house accommodations are
all that are to be found in a modern
city of 100,000 population. The hotels,
boarding houses and private
famiies will furnish entertainment
for 150,000 visitors. The restaurant I
service is first class and adequate to
any demand.
The Confederate veterans will be
camped at Jackson park, a delightful
resort almost within the business districts
of the city. This camp has been
named "Camp Stewart," in honor of
the late Gen. A. P. Stewart, the much
beloved and noted southern chieftain,
who won fame on the greatest battlefields
of the Civil war and spent his
declining years in Chattanooga as a
member of the Chickamauga National
Park commission. The motion to
name the camp for him was put by
Mayor T. C. Thompson, and was
unanimously adopted.
Chattanooga is putting great energy
into the preparation for the reunion,
AMAWW Iw/iirtofiAn l' C fko ?-?+ ?H11 K?
OUU CTC1 J tllUIVMWIVii AO VliMV " ? ? **v
one of the most delightful meetings
the veterans have ever enjoyed.
The environments of Chattanooga
are ideal for a reunion of the Confederate
veterans. The battlefields are
the chief points of interest, of course,
but they are not all by any means.
Chattanooga is a modern city of 100,000
population, with a greater number
of manufacturing plants than any city
in the southern states, turning out
more than seven hundred different
products that go practically all over
the world. It has a number of skyscrapers,
and other modern buildings.
The climate is ideal. The mountain
scenery is not excelled in any other section
of the south. Some yeart ago
Prince Henry, of Prussia, spent a day
in Chattanooga and made a trip to the
top of historic Lookout mountain.
After viewing the panorama from that
eminence, he exclaimed: "There is
nothing finer in all Europe." Every
tourist who has travelled in European
countries passes the same eulogy on
these mountains. The Confederate
veterans, however, know what they
are. Thousands of them fought over
this field, and it will be a pleasure to
them to revisit the scenes of the carnage
through which they passed in
1863.
For the purpose of entertaining the
! 1 X 1 _ ni li.
reunion on a oroau scaie, Vynaiu?nooga
is raising from $50,000 to $75,000.
This fund is practically in hand, and
the various committees are rapidly
closing up all contracts and rushing
the preparations to conclusion.
The Southeastern Passenger association
has granted a rate of one cent
a mile aach way for the reunion?the
lowest rate that is ever allowed for
any cause. .
