Mr. Green is an eloquent speaker
and intensely earnest. His time was
too short and he was compelled as
one conld readily see to give only an
abstract of his lecture. So hurried
was be indeed that be nearly omitted
wbat would strike us aa the most important thing in working tbe complete change in Jean Valjean's life,
tbe second scene with the Bishop
wben taken back by tbe police.
However, he rectified that later.
Victor Hugo he characterized as
tbe man who "remembered everything,"   and  in    all   he   recognized.
"One far-off divine event
To wbicb the whole creation moves."
He spent pages in describing the
battle of Waterloo and tben declared
it was not a battle at all. The time
bad come wben "the great butcher
j of Europe" must go. He sketched
e* hastily tho early life of Jean Valjean
and tbe utterly rotten and outrageous
condition of a society tbat would condemn a man to the galleys for seven
years for the simple larceny of a loaf
of bread to keep a group of Children
from starving.
Two things, be declared are taught
by tbe book, Lea Miserables: 1st.
Be careful about hasty judgments
aad, 2nd, Nothing is eyersettled till it
te settled rigbt.
Time did not permit Mr. Green to
do justice to bis subject, We suspect, however, that he aroused sufficient Interest to insure the sale of

Next the Boots are marched to the
barracks and given a medical batb,
and a physical exam, again. If they
pass, tbey, tben are vaccinated ana
given a "shot in the arm" of typhus
service and repeats at 10 day intervals until 3 are administered.
Now what does tbe Boot hear'/ A
bugle. Wbat does it mean*? He asks
a Jack that stands near him and is
informed to this effect: "Soupy,
soupy, with only one bean; porky,
porky, without a streak of lean.
Come to the mess hall, to tbe mess
hall, to tbe mess hall".
He waits in turn and passes a large
box from which he takes a mess kit,
consisting of a knife, fork andspoon,
cup and pan. He then passes the
large ketties where he will get something like this: Roast beef, gravy,
spuds, pnnk and butter, fruit of some
kind, and iast bis drink of eitber
coffee or tea. After be eats, be bas

own kit and sterlize it in hot water.
Tbe next day is spent in outfitting
tbe Boot and getting him need to the
uniform. That evening witb all in
clean whites they are given a lecture
on cleanllnesa and discipline.
Tbe next day is spent in teaching
them drills, and prond is tbe boy

Tbe Boots are drilled in squad,
company and section movements all
dsy long and every day In fair, hot
or Inclement weather, and wben they
leave detention after 21 days for
their new home in the Main Group,
they won't mind standing in the
rain, doing guard duty, packing a

On Thursday afternoon Assembly
is soondsd and tha boots are marched
to tbe drill grounds and formed into
a large square witli boxing gloves in
the center and men are called upon
to show tbeir cleverness and many a
bloody nose is tbe result. And thus
tbe dsy is spent in games oi of all
kinds.

We understand that there is some
opposition to this plan from officials
of tbe local loan associations, owing
to the high cost of securing

may bo that th«. question will come in
for further discussion before the

Tbe report of the County Poor
Commissioners was one of tbe things
wbicb came in for some discussion
by tbe Board of Supervisors at Harrison and tbere will doubtless be more
tbis week before it is sgreed as to
how much ougbt to be expended on
that institution tbe coming year.
Most taxpayers seem to agree that
it takes a great deal of money to
keep the place going and if tbis is
correct, a careful diagnosis of the
case would certainly do no harm and
might bring to light some chronic
trouble wbicb requires more thorough treatment than baa yet been
given it.
Tbeir report in fall will be published in a later issue of the Sentinel,
showing just how ali money is spent.
A total of 83661.07 was paid out for
the farm and infirmary and 810.7 29
for temporary relief. Aside from
taxes tbe receipts were $370 28. Tbe
stock, implements, farm products,
etc, on band, however, have an estimated value of $2637 03. Five thousand dollars is asked to carry the
board through next year.

The Department of Agriculture of

a poultry meeting at the Normal on
Friday, Nov. 0. beginning at 1 p. n_
Tbe program Is a practical one dealing witb the bousing and feeding of
poultry and tbe marketing of poultry
products The question of '"Poultry
on tbe Farm" ia discussed by Jobn
Northon of Vernon.
Model poultry houses   and   poultry

reserve and a Fort where about 1,000
Oimau r>. is .ner?are interned. They
were taken off coats which were
taken when the war was started.
Chickamauga Park is classed as tbe
best marked battlefield in the world
and some of tbe worst battles of the
Civil War were fought wbere we are
being trained.
There are a few old land marks yet
such as, Snodgrass bouse, (which
still stands) ; nd the Bioody pond.
We drill on the ground wbere many
of our Michigan and Wisconsin men
were killed.
Last   Saturday   a  few   friends
myself   went   went     to     Missionary
Ridge.    It is on   top   of   a   mountain
wbich is quite large and   overlooking
a small city called Ridgedale.
We found a few monuments but we
were looking mostly for chestnuts of
wbich we each bad oar fill. We also
took some very interesting pictures
of the moantain and of tbe cotton
fields which are wbite now.
Last Sunday my pal and I took a
trip to Chattanooga and visited Lookout mountain.
We went up on the incline wbicb is
so steep it almost takes one's breath.
Tbe car looks like a street- car when
it bad been in a wreck for it is built
on a slant. The seats are made so
when one sits in tbem it seems if
yoo are sitting on tbe floor, bnt wben
we were drawn almost straight up we
don't wonder at tbe car being built
crooked. The car ls drawn up witb
a big cable. It tbis ever broke it
would be "Good nigbt". It is worth
one's time and money just to ride up
that incline let alone being about
2700 feet above the surrounding
country*,
It Is --some" sight to See Chattanooga, Tenn. River, and tbe greet
Moccisin Bend also on a good clear
day 5 different states may be plainly
seeu.
Tbe mnseum is of great interest
also. There are all kinds of relics of
the war and wbile tbere my friend
and I each wrote a post card bome
wbile sitting in General Grant's chair
wbicb be had at Orchard Knob.
It was an ideal day for us and we j
climbed down the mountain which took i
most of the afternoon and landeO
back at our camp more than please-.'
at our outing. And I hope we stay
here long enough tbat I may pay another visit up tbere for it is tbe greatest place I ever saw and 1 was wishing my friends at bome could some
day bave the good fortune to take a
trip there.
We have ideal~weather, nice and
warm. While you are ali shivering
and waiting for tbe dreary winter in
dear old Michigan, we are lying ln
tbe shade having a good time.
We drili only Ave days a week and
not very bard at tbat.
Our Sunday dinners are always like
Christmas dinners at home. Today
we bad roast pork, sweet potatoes,
cake and sauce for dinner. For
eupper we bad all tbe mushrooms we
could possibly eat. Sometimes we
have ice cream or chicken. We bave
not bad any hardtack yet but I expect we may sometime.
Must close now hoping to bear
from some of my friends and wishing
all kinds of success and prosperity to
