Kentucky Soldiers Plea

When we soldiers came TO Texas,
We were happy and lauged and sang ;
And wanted to cross the Border,
To the tune of our rifles bang.
But after being here awhile,
We found we were all wrong:
For the trip to Mexico City,
Is several miles too long.
"Gosh," said we it's awful,
But we should give a hang;
II necessary we'll still cross the
Border,
To the tune of our rifles bang.
But when came that hiking,
We sure did rave and snort;
And yelled out loud to Uncle Sam
To cut that hiking short.
Said "Sammie," that ceilings awful
But will their jackets warm;
I'll make 'em bust that Texas sand
1t Will do 'em no harm.
So for fifteen days he hIked us
Through that Texas sand,
Aud when the hike was finished,
The Devil owned every man.
And we now are saying,
To the idea we no longer hang,
OF going across the Border,
To the tune of our rifles bang.
So let's not be selfish Sammy,
With the peace the Mexicans lack,
But to our happy home in Kentucky
Please Sir: Send US back.
For the state of old Kentucky,
Means most of all to us,
So please Sir:-send us home
Aud let the Mexicans fuss.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 1.-Vir-
ginia the eighteenth state to BAN
the sale Of intoxicating beverages
closed all saloons at midnight.
Although large part of the old
dominion previously had been
voted dry in local option elections
the new state law closed more
than 800 saloons. mostly in Rich
mond, Norsolk, Newport News,
Lynchburg, Petersburg, Roanoke
and Bristol
The law is one of the most
drastic ever passed by state
legislature. No beverage except
cider can be sold that shows n
trace of alchol and possession Of
more than one gallon of whiskey,
one gallon of wine, or three gall
Ions of beer would be regrrded as
prima facie evidence of intent to
violate the law. This provision
probably will receive an early
test in court, as vast quantities
of liquor have been stored i n pri-

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM THE BORDER
Some of the Things the Boys
of Co. G are Doing in the
Lone Star State
Fort Bliss, Texas.
Camp Owen Bierne
oct. 20. 1910.

No doubt the good people of the
City of Darlington and the friends
and relations of the members Of Co.
G think we are a very ungrateful set
for the many kindnesSeS bestowed
upon us during our short stay we
had in the city after being called out
for duty for the old United States.
However, we take this way Of thank
ing them and let them know that
they will be long remembered in our
minds and hearts Their ways of
making our tasks Of leaving home,
presumably TO 90 to war, easier is
still fresh in our minds and we hope
that they will receive the true bless
ingS due TO such workers in their
final reward.
Although losing several of our
members through the Federal exam
ination we still have a very good
company with a total of 80 men,
due to the arrival Of several new re-
cruitS, and finer bunch Of men was
never assembled into a company 10

As the papers gave an almost ac-
curate account of our maneuveTs
while at our concentration camp |
will not 60 into any details regard
ing our stay there except that all re-
port very good time while there.
However, since arriving here the reg
ular army officers have played havoc
with us. Instead of having a lighter
routine it seems asihough we are a
new bunch of recruits, comparing
our drills ard duties with our form
er ones. However, no grumbling or
disorder is heard among he boys.
lhey all seem 10 ENJOY tne IouT
hours drill each day.
AS to the hike the other organiza-
tions will long remember the way
the Kentucky boys led them into El
Paso on the return. If any reports
are out that we had any hardshipS on
the trip they must be disregarded as
every one seemed to have good
time. Also must say the Kentucky
brigade came out on top with the best
records. We had only fifteen men
out Of the whole brigade that had to
be sent to the hospital while the next
to us was South Carolina with 90.
