barrel of electric light globes in his dis

Soldier boys at Camp Shipp, Annis-
| ton, don't think much of the rainy
season in the south. They have been
in the midst of exceedingly disagree

them to eat sowbelly and bareback IN
their crowded sleeping tents, as there is
no covering over the mess tables except
! pine branches, which are useless in
keeping out water. A war uniform does
not mean snap even in times of peace.
