The Argus came TO hand today and
OF course we were glad TO see il, aud
read the news from Kingwood. Well,
we are all getting along spiendidly aud
everybody seems very well pleased
with the situation. The general im-
preston has been for some time that
we would leave for the front soon. but
We know about as much now about IL.
AS we did two weeks ago, and that is
nothing at all.
Today we have no drills. "a we never
do on Sunday. so there is nothing much
left TO 10 but lay around our quarters
This afternoon there was n game of
base ball between the 1osth Indiana
regular club. and the LIST w. Va club
and we didn't do a thing but beat
them. 81 to rs. Well the wv Va.
Snakes" as some of the other regimen q
call them. are the healthiest lot of
men in camp. They will 90 out and
drill real hard for an hour or so and
then come iuto camp whistling. "There
will be Hot Time In the Old Town
Tonight while members of the other
regiments viii look on and wonder nj
them standing the work so well.
Last Sunday was payday and the
boys, nearly all of whom were broke"
made things merry when they got
their pay. About twenty. ave out of
our company ran of and went TO
Chattanooga ard stayed a dayor two,
and consequently the guard house has

dry weather for tho last two weeks.
but we had fine rain yesterday aud
II cooled things off, aud of course
everybody is glad of it.
At the Ohio Y. M. G. A. tent, which
is inst outside the w. Va. lines. they
hold services every Sunday morning,
and 1t has proven great benefit. The

crossed over to the latte~ and
stepped from ono track to avoid an
east bound train in front of her,
aud instead OF getting off both
tracks, got on the other and was
struck by the engine Of o train 90
ing west and coming around the
curve right behind her. She was
struck on the head and her skull
crushed and Knocked from the
track, so that she was not mingled
in any way. ShS lived few min

Terra Alta, and by DIR. s NJ. Scott and
DIR. J. p. Shafer and the testimony Of

several years ago from Harrison county

We have the best officers In the regi-

we have had We have plenty To eat
and only drill 3 hours day, two in the
morning and in the evening. We
have an easy time OF L.; of course we
have to stay close TO camp which Is
pretty hard for us to do, as we are
farmer boys and used to doing as we
please. We received our uniforms Sat-
urday. July 9th and we feel quito like
soldiers In our blue cloth and brass
buttons. Our arms are at the station,
but we do not know when they will bc
distributed. We attended services sun
day. conducted by our chaplain in a
beautiful grove on the Kanawha river.
Governor Atkinson made short adj
dress after services aud thinks we will
soon go To the front. Everyone here is
eager to get To the front and show the
world what manhood and patriotism
can be found In Preston county. We
will say to those who bid us to remem-
Der the Maine In their farewell and TO
never fear, that the trust which they
imposed on us shall not be in founded;
that we shall remember the Maine to
show the world what w. Va. boys can
do in the field of battle.
The boys are all we'll and no one
backed out when the test came TO 90

The cooperation Of Christian En-

creasing the money contributions and
the Society hopes through these Aug
iliaries in the country 70 add large
number Of homes TO its lists.
From some of our towns responses
have come, one furnishing 20 new
homes for happy children who are nor
enjoying their country trip. There
have been Frcsh Air Auxiliariea in
some counties which have been doing
good work in the Society for several
years-in one county more than one
hundred children have been taken
sach year through the efforts OF the
Auxiliary. Through these AuxiIiaries
the Society Is enabled 20 send greater
number Of children TO one place; the
children are thus made happier by
compauionship and those who take
them find no difficulty in their enter.
