Health is Good.
According to The Advertisers Spc-
cial war correspondent located al the
front somewhere near Styx. S. C.. the
members Of the local military com
pany arc getting fat and sassy" while
undergoing the rigorous training in
cidcnt 10 becoming rul!-ncdgcd sol
dicrs OF Uncle Samuel. Excepting the
natural preference of all the boys TO
be AT homo with their relatives and
friends, they are feeling fine and arc
anxious for the chance to take a crack
at any Mexican bandits that might risk
themselves within shooting range. All
have been well except few who
'kccled over after continuous
round OF inoculation and vaccination
for typhoid fever, small pox and a
dozen or so other diseases thought to
be fashionable in Texas and Mexico.
Some very important events OF the
past week have been connected with
the rcvictualing and restoring OF vari-
Gus departments not provided for by
Uncle sam The tobacco problem
looms up much moro seriously than
the Mexican prohcm and at times
gives considerable worry TO the users
OF the weed whose funds have run low
For this reason the grand entry OF his
royal hi2hncSs, l.. Broadus Ciardy ac
comDanicd by his aid-dc-camp, Col.
FRANK Reid. OF The liggctt & Myers
Tobacco Company, made Il distinct and
tasting impression on the boys These
Two came into camp accompanied BY
a rctinuc Of servants bearing gifts of
Velvet ana Star Navy which were
lavishly distributed among the mon
.of both regiments. In all the company
streets they were hailed as heroes
and in the Traynham Guards quar-
ters they were awarded royal titles.
Other smoking and chewing para
phcrnalia was also left by several
laurens men who came into camp, but
whose names your war corresponds
ent did not find out. These things
were highly appreciated and cspec-
tally now since the merry Jingle of
coin is no longer heard in the pockets
OF the men.
Now the ladies Of Laurcns as usual
have done the royal thing. The box
OF cakes sent by them was received
in good order and despatched in the
same manner You can always depend
on The ladies to do the right thing
~ the soldiers and their thoughtful-
ness for the boys in this camp is
greatly appreciated Then, too, The
bibles lust received from the throe
sunday schools are greatly appreciate
ed
