Letter From A Soldier Boy.
Nogales. Ariz., Aug. 21, 1817.
The Spectator.
The camp of the 35th Infantry
is located one-half mile from
Nogales. ArizJ. which is a small
city of 5,000 inhabitants. The
Mexican border extends through
the center of this city. We sol
diers guard the border and allow
no one to commit a nuisance on
or near the border.
This country is very mountain
ous and covered with sand and
rocks.
We drill every day except Sat
urdays and Sundays. First call
goes a 5:45 a. m. In 15 minutes
we are out and lined up for re
veille. After we stand reveille
and we have had time to wash
our hands and faces and comb
our hair, the call goes that every
body is always ready for and
glad to hear—Chow call.
After we have all enjoyed a
good morning meal, we line up
and pick up every thing in the
company street, such as paper,
match heads, cigarette stubs, etc.
After we have finished our polic
ing up and have had time to go
to our tents and fill our canteens
with water the drill call goes
(6:30). We grab our rities and
belts and are out Jined up ready
for drill in 15 minutes. We drill
from this time till 11:30. At
11:30 we are marched in by our
company commander and dis-'
missed. At 12:00 we eat dinner
and are ready to rest until 3:30.
During this time the boys can be
seen some washing, some play
ing ball and some writing to his
best girl. etc. At 3:30 drill call
goes and we drill on signaling,
first aid, etc. until 4:30, when
we are dismissed and prepare for
supper, which is ready at 4:30.
At 5:30 we line up in the eom
psny street and stand at atten
tion while the “Star Spangled
Danner” is played by the band.
After the last note has been
played, we are dismissed for the
day.
Some of the boys go to town,
and most of them go to the Y.
M. C. A., where we have free
magazines and a library etc.
All the boys are all getting ex
perienced in cqoking and wash
ing dishes as every one serves a
day in the kitchen about every
15 days.
The boys are all well and en
joying soldier life.

A Safe Test.
For those who are in need of
a remedy for kidney troubles and
ickaehe, it is a feood plan to try
Doan’s Kidney. Pills. They are
trongly recommended by Rus
sellville people.!
Mrs. Samuel McKee, Washing
ton St.. Russellville, Ark., savs:
“Some time ago I found that my
kidneys were weak. I had a
.ready, dull ache in the small of
my back and I often noticed
.-■pecks before my eyes that affec
ted my sight. My kidneys acted
irregularly and 1 realized that
they needed attention. ,1 tried
Dean’s Kidney Pills and they
hepled me greatly. I used other,
kidney medicines and can say
that Doan’s Kidney Pills gave the
host results of all.
Price 60c, at all dealers Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Mrs. ‘McKee had.

LARGEST AMERICAN FLAG.
The City of St. I -onis possesses
the largest American flag in ex~
istenee, as far as is known. It
is 150 feet long and' 7K feet
wide. Each of the thirteen
stripes is six feet wide. Imagine
a plot of ground containing
11.700 square feet almost one
quarter of an acre and you
will have an idea of the size of
the flag. When used in pa
rades it requires 200 people to
carry’ it. But on account of its
great width it cannot he carried
through many of the streets of
the city. Popular Science.
One of the young soldiers re
marketl to the listeners: “I
don’t think it’s light for older
men to hi* discouraging us by
talking about the dangers we
shall have to face in the trench
es and on the firing line; the
chances of being wounded or
killed or of dying in the hospital.
We know all this and have
counted the cost and are ready
and willing to pay the price of
genuine patriotism."
He was a volunteer and will
| valiantly fight for the flag un
der which he has enlisted, an 1
j it is safe say that this is more
J than the said calamity howlers
' will do. And it is also safe to
1 say that wfign the flag shall
1 have been borne to final and
| complete victory and the boys
i “come marching home." glori
ous conquerors, and the people
according them triumphal re
ception. this same slacker will
be right up at the front: Irv
ing to fool the heroes with a be
lated show of patriotism. This
; despicable dispenser of pessi
mism and all his kind ought to
be suppressed. It would be but
! giving them just deserts to put
them in the front trenches that
they might have personal ex
periences of the dangers and
sacrifices they so blatantly teil
tthc soldiers they must en
counter. Bentonville Dem.

J. T. JOHNSON
J. T. Johnson passed away at
the home of his brother, John
Johnson, in this city Monday
night at 11:00 p. m. at the age of
70 years and six months.
“Uncle Jord. ” as he was fam
iarly called, was born in this
county, grew to manhood and
spent his life in the vicinity of
Redding. His illness, due to
dropsy and heart trouble, man
ifested itself about a year ago,
when he came to Ozark to spend
his last days with his brother
and wife who were in a position
to care for him in the most ten
der way, and this they did. His
wife having died five years ago
and all his children being dead,
except one son, D. J.' of Gilmore,
Okla., the caring for and laying
away of this lonely brother fell
to their lot, and the devotion of
the little family and other rel
atives to him was more accentu
ated because of this.
He was and Confederate sol
dier. a member of the Freewill
Baptist Church, and a good man
whom everybody respected and
I the neighbors loved.
Funeral services were conduc
ted at the Hixon cemetery by
Rev. VV. J. LeRoy Tuesday after
noon, and the remains laid to
rest by the side of his mother.
He leaves two sisters, Mrs.
Hunter, of Ozark, and Mrs Low
ery of Oklahoma and a brother,
•lames, of Hunt, Ark.
