My own time is up Monday, but un

1 intend to remain here, s< rving <n my

About Christmas time, all the mm
here rec eved a Christmas pr* sent of
a recruit k t. Though they came
' through the government, they are r. •
j ported to have been the g ft ol a j

The boxes, which were greatly ap
articles: Toothbrush, soap, hair brush, j
1 razor, shoebrush, whiskbroom, comb,,
(shaving brush, box of shoe polish and
.i “housew,fe”— a roll containing !
1 iieedles, pins, buttons, thread etc.
Th-- past week has been a strenous j
j one for the boys. On the first five j
I days, a hike was taken each day, the
(troops working out some military pro-i
| hlem on the way. Several am bat - j
' ties were staged, one lay wits di
j voted to trench-digging, and at the end
,,f th we.-i e felt is 1 holt h W !l; -

A fortnight ago, Sgt. James O.
1 Hunt was elated because of the a.-- j
rival of his motner aid sister, Mr
Charley Hunt and Miss Nora Hunt, < !
.Springdale, v. ho had come to pay Ol
e. ■ ' at. Their visit was a s irnri - * to
Ol, though a number of the other
I hoys had known that they were on
the v. av but had carefully kept Oi ,
from ’'mding out about it. T >tb of
i - ,ur visitors entered into the spirit <d
the camp, and we hope enjoyed their
their visit. This country was on its
good behavior, and did not produce
any of the firce sandstorms to which
.w have become accustomed, but
nevertheless, 1 don’t think you could
give Mrs. Hunt the whole of this
state for Washington County. The
whole company is glad the mother of (
one of us was able to get down here i
and see howe we are living.
The c min authorities recently j
placed heavy restrictions on the sal- >
uons here. A provost guard is !
stationed in front of each saloon to see j
that no soldier carries away with him j
any botlcd goods; and several bars,
whose propietors have been caught at
tempting to evade the regulations laid
down for them, been closed entirely
to soldier trade.
In order to give those of the
younger guardsman, who desired it, a
chance to keep up with the studies
that they are missing through being
in the service; a regimental school;
was established some time ago, with
Sgt. Charles Kincaid of this company
a former school teacher, in charge.

due to pneumonia, developing in con
