have heretofore been unable to secure COM

LEFT FOR CAMP.
Ira G. GIssoS.


The Kingwood Company for the
Second West Virginia Regiment,
left here last Friday morning, with
a big send-off for The boys. They
got orders the evening before from
Major Hutson, of Piedmont, Cap
tain of the Company, 10 be at
Tunnelton the next morning and
take No. 3 for Parkersburg. as the
rest Of the boys would be along on
second section of that train and
they would all go TO camp together.
Next morning the cid town was
out earlier than it has been for u
long time, and the martial band
headed the procession for the depot.
Several hundred people were out
to see the Joys off, many Of them
from miles around the country.
Ex-SherIf Shaw had lot of hand
some little girls drilled to march
IN good time, as guard OF honor
for the boys, and escorted them TO
the train and presented each with
handsome boquet. AS the train
pulled out there went up q mighty
cheer that scared the car of the
track and delayed the starting flf-
teen minutes, but they finally got
TO Tunnelton all right and joined
the other half of the company and
went on TO Camp Atkinson and
were duly examined by the Gov.
eminent surgeons and passed and
mustered in all right, as will be
seen by letter from Charleston in
another column.
The night before the boys left,
they all attended special service at
the 81. +. Church. They marched
TO the church 40 a body, headed by
the drum corps, and the pastor,
Rev. g.. X. Shaw, made an eloqueui
aud appropriate address to the
boys, which WIS listened TO witch
marked attention. IL was very
happy thought 10 have this service
on the eve OF dcpartnre for the war.
There we're forty nine men srsm

LYLE. Ga. july 4th 1898
TODAY Is national holiday for
the people Of the United States.
La the towns aud cities the streets
will lie gay with flags and colors
and alive with people aud patriot-
ian. Here in Camp Thomas it has
been quieter than yesterday. though
yesterday Was Sunday.
Yesterday was pay day in the
West Virginia regiment and that
makes all the difference in the world
between ore day and the next.
A great many of the boys have
been broke" for long time, some
ever since they left Camp Lee and
even before. The majority Of the
boys here are easy. happy go-lncky
boys whose only desire seem to be
to have a royal good time. for they
evidently feel the force OF the old
time saw of "long time dead. "
Hence money with great many OF
them lasts no longer than snow
ball in July.
The paymaster AMI assistants
com menced with Company "a"
early yesterday morning and
finished up with an" in the after
noon.
The pay ranged from FIVE dollars
up to thirty and the officers of
course much more The last re-
cruits in did not get much OF course.
and the Preston boys who have
been here two weeks drew from
seven to eight dollars.
The reglmental canteen being
closed, the boys had to go elsewhere
to get their things to eat and

a rnshiug business TOO, ss three or
four new mem bers we're run IN for
disorjerly conduct, one being u
Minnesota boy.
The Fourth was celebrated at the
Ohio Y. NJ. q. A. in the forenoon
by patriotic songs and string
speeches. Many of the Preston
boys were there. Some went to
Chattanooga, while Others spent
The Glorious Fourth in various
ways. As there was no drill the
boys did what they pleased.
The Preston boys are all we'll so
far Ms we know. The general health

Champ Clark 5 speech In Con
gress against the annexation of
Hawaii, was by for the best argu-
ment yet produced on that side OF
the question. 1t was witty. forcibIe
and eloquent, still we are not con
vinced that he is right. for we have
all along been in favor of taking in
the "Pearl of the Pacific" Most
OF our Democratic brethren of the
press have been opposing annexa-
ton. but We believe they are wrong
about it and that it would be a
great mistake to refuse to take that
beautiful country into Uncle Sam &
