Kditoi: N i:\vs Itkm a\i> Fhikxhs. 1 semi you, :it llie request of friends n short ilcscription of soldier lit** at ('liicknniuiiKii. The tirst tliiii"- a soldier litis to learn here is to obey orders, eat and drink what he eun <>vt and say notli in»-. It is very hot and dry here at present. The ground is so hot that one can not walk on it without hav ing on shoes during the day. The day we arrived it rained and a couple of days before that but since we went into eanip we have had no rain. Chickaniauga l'ark comprises the old battleground where the boys of the civil war fought. It is fifteen miles long and six miles wide. All through it one can see monuments and old cannons and slalis telling how and where brave boys once gained the victory for Old (Jlory. The principle trees here are oak and pine, a few walnut and a kind of evergreen. The principle grain is corn and most all kinds of vegetables j are grown. The mellons are very j enticing and injurious to the hoys' health but nothing can prevent them from getting them only that they have not the money to buy with and now nearly all the boys of my com pany are troubled that way, for two reasons: When they first reached here the climate and water made them sick; very few if any escape, i and they will give the last cent they ! have or pawn their clothing to buy | what ever their appetite craves. I We get bread most always, some-j times crackers, meat, such as it is, J about twice aday. < Mice we had good steak. We have had eggs a couple of days. For drink we get coffee of! about the rankest kind, without j milk. We can only fret half the water we want and not very good at that. We gel ice every day but it soon melts. At present there is ! an improvement in our rations. In most parts of the park there is very good Imithing facilities. Water ' conies from a pipe line and we get shower baths. lCvery one has to take a bath twice a week or as much often as he chooses. Company M, has received many compliments as to the quality of its men. The boys are proud of this. We get drills from 0::to a. m.to !l a. in. Afternoon drill, *>:•"M» to •">, with evening dress parade. This is short but it is a very line sight to see a whole army in uniform on drill. On Wednesday last we marched six miles in the boiling hot sun for in spection, and part the way made double quick time (which is running). I think there was something like a hundred dropped out of the ranks but all recovered. Today the whole division was inspected by General Brookes in regard to going to l'ark II ice. We don't know whether we will go or not. There is a strife be tween the ">th and !>th regiments as to which w ill go. The Y. M. C. A. is doing a very good thing for the boys. There are several large tents where they hold meetings every evening; also give all the paper and envelopes and furn ish a place to write, which thousands of the boys take advantage of. When the time for services arrives, all writing stops and all join in the meeting. I wish to tell you what we have to carry when under heavy marching orders. A knapsack with two extra suits of clothes, blue and brown, under clothes, and extra pair of shoes, a heavy sack with dishes, canteen, woolen blanket, rubber blanket, tent, gun and a belt with fifty rounds of cartidges, so you see there is some little work as well as s|H>rt. 1 hope this will interest all who may read it. Our hoys are all i well. Hoping we may meet again, i I am, Sincerely yours, AllTHt K JIlNKI!. I Company M, ittli Keg. I'a. Vol. Successful landing Effected. The United States military expe- I ditiou under the command of (Jen. < Miles made a successful landing on I Porto Rico soil Thursday evening. 1.25 P er - Year. .Numbef 12' Lopez vti Laporte, AH "if" as large as the nianipu : la tors of newspaper type see lit to j make it, protruded in the game last Saturday afternoon, as a nail pro trudes on a cellar door i»n which the small hoy of the family is accustom ed to toboggan. "If" Laporte had engaged better players from abroad, "if" some of nur turn had not been guilty of some very had—bad is a mild adjective to describe it—ball playing, the home team might have won, but as it was, they suffered a defeat that does not soil their record, Hi to 1 ratio. Walters and Jackson of Bern ice assisted Laporte; the former twirled the sphere in yoenian fashion while the latter caught a superb game. Fllery .Swank put up a good game oil lirst base and John Heahcn cut the daisys every time lie brought the wagon tongue into contact with the horsehide. Short-stop, second and third bases were played by IJughcsvillo players who like some other clubs, play without honor. The score: Lopez 7 o n ,"i :i u i 21 Laporte, I 2 I ioit no 2 -10 Hon. Henry Houck, who always leaves a trail of good humor wher ever he goes, lectured to a laige and delighted audience last Tuesday eve ning in the courthouse. llvery sentence of his lecture was wreathed in an olive branch of peace, i'athos jolting against humor in the richest and most varied assortment kept his audience convulsed with laughter, while he at the same time invoked the angels of light and beauty to show the pleasures of right living. The Doctor is certainly a gent before an audience, and his presence here will ever lie welcomed. Shuuk. It is lonesome without the noise of the buzzsaw, and noon whistle. J. I*.
