August 8Ist, I8U

Editor Register:
1 will try to tell you aportion OF
my years service in the Philip
pines. Our Regiment left Camp
Meade August 31st, 1899. We ar
rived at San Francisco September
9th, and stayed there fifteen days.
We then went aboard the trans
port Tacoma, and sailed for the
Philippines September 10th. 1t
was sad old day for me. We had
not got five miles from land when
every one began to get seasick, and
what a time there was on board,
1 did not care for anything to eat
for three days; we lived on hard
tack, bacon and beans / wished
many times that L was back in
West Virginia to get a square
meal.
We arrived at Honolulu he29th
day of September, and on the goth
we went ashore. / thought it was
the finest place 1 had ever seen.
We stayed there eight days and
had march of ten miles back of
that place We were at the foot
of burning volcano there. We
pitched our tents and stayed over
night. Next morning we started
for the transport, and when three
DAYS out of Honolulu we we're
overtaken by hard storm; they
shut us down in the hold of ship.
On the Goth of October we sighted
that great place called Manila.
We stayed in the harbor one day,
and on the 28th we marched seven
miles back of Manila / was put
on guard on the outpost. 1t was
raining hard and mud was knee
deep. [ thought every minute 1
would get shot. / was sitting at
the roots of banana tree when l
heard mauser crack and heard the
bullet whiz by my ear. I began to
think [ would never see old West
Virginia again. Next day they
gave us three days rations, and at
eight O'clock we started to hunt the
negroes. We did not get very far
before we found what we we're
looking for. They fired on us
from ambush; the bullets whizzed
on all sides, and there was soary
old times about there. Wecharged
on their trenches and run them out
and they scattered like sheep, when
we began to throw volleys into
them.
I haven't seen anything but hard
ships since my enlistment. l
could sit and write all day and then
not tell half what 1 have seen,
do not know how long we will re-
main here.

The Fair.
The weather during the Fair
just ended Friday, was all that
could be desired, and the great
crowds that attended Thursday
and Friday, was certainly most en-
couraging to the management, and
the management in their efforts to
entertain their patrons fully sue
ceeded, and the visitors were great
in their praises of them. The
grounds were put in good condi-
ton, and the track kept we'll
sprinkled, thereby getting rid of
the dust that heretofore had cut
off the view of the races.
The displays in every depart
ment were exceptionally good, but
nothing on the ground drew more
attention than did the "Cake- Walk
ers," in their performances be-
tween the races, except that it
might have been the Floral Hall
where SO many pretty things
were displayed, the handiwork
of the women, and whore the
handsome young ladies in charge
of the Hall did so much to make it
pleasant for the visitors.
1t can be said with truth that the
Fair of 1900, is among the best
that was ever held in the county,
and much praise is due to Presi-
don't w. M. Duffy and Secretary
Art L. Cottrill, that it was so, be-
cause they spared no efforts to get
every attraction that would please
all, upon the grounds, but also
treated every one SO pleasantly.

they are a SUCCESS at the business.
