corner in Your valuable paper TO
spare, kindly give space to few
lines from regular reader. |
take The Chronicle. and am sure
glad TO hear nay name called and
the Benton County news pitched
to me when the United States mail
ID received. We receive mail here
about once q week, and it is from
ten to fifteen days coming to Hayti
/ am going to tell your readers
something about this island. The
largest rocks and the highest hills
| ever saw are here. The most of
the natives are of the blacklist dye,
and the white people are French,
Germans and Jews. The negro
natives speak Creo-Spanish, and
some from Jamaica speak English,
thus making it necessary to be
conversant with five languages to
converse with each individual you
meet in Port-au-Prince.
We left Philadelphia, Pa, Oh
August 20, 1915, and after fifteen
days at sea we landed here in the
hottest country, l ever saw. The
weather has been like summer all
winter. There has not been day
since we landed here without see
ing bathing parties at the docks~
The docks here are said to be the.
largest in the world and the best in
the West India Islands.
Fruits Of every kind grow here
in profusion, and cheap (oranges
are 5 cents dozen.) Exchange is
SIS 30 for ST. of Uncle Sans money.
Hayti has negro president, and
he receives as many honors from
his soldiers as President Wilson.
The natives live in grass huts, and
use burros for everything. they
can't carry on their head. 1t is-a
days journey to the, top of the
chain of mountains that surround
Port-au- Prince, a city Of 99,000o T44
100000 population.
Hayti produces an excellent
grade of coffee, rice and sea island
cotton. It's valuable wood consists
of mahogany and dyewood. There
is a. shrub here called the holy i
tree that is worshiped by the
''spicks. The shrub is a. little
like our ash.
Last month some of.the marines1
in the States collected magazines,
ETC., and sent them to us.
Some were of the vintage of 1907,
bnt.we were certainly glad to get
them. There was q lively scuffie for
Golfers Weekly, Saturday Even
ing Post and late newspapers.
Iguess someone would like to
hear of some of the trouble we
have had since landing here. The
soldiers don't talk trouble; they all
preach peace.
A good many moving pictures
were taken Of us while Oh the
United States Cruiser Tennessee
and while in action at different
places since we landed in tile trop-
ics. Uncle Sam furnishes moving
pictures for us. every night, but
they are mostly oldrones, They
