 in Mexican Expedition SERGEANT IN TROOP B,
Warm Sun Great Aid to Peach Blos-
 soms-Politics the Cynosure Of Voters Eyes-Several Names for Representative Mentioned-Briefs.

Patrick Clarity of Harrington Road is very much interested in the present Mexican situation because of the fact that his brother. John T. is probably on the scene of action. John IT, Garrity has been one of Uncle Sanl's soldier boys for a number of years. He first enlisted in 1901 and swas sent to the Philippines, where he remained until 1906 He was mus tered out and resided here until 1909, when the cali of the army was more than he could stand and he re-enlist- ed, again returning to the Philippine Islands. While there he had charge of the cavalry horses He applied himself diligently to his duties and was rewarded with the rank of ser geant in Troop B. of the Eighth cav airy. Sergeant Garrity did not see his native town again until last spring when he was the guest of his brother for six months A soldier in the islands is given one month furlough every year Sergeant Garrity stayed In the service for six years and took slis furlough at one time. The time spent in the Philippines counts double so Sergeant Garrfty has nearly twenty-four years of service to his credit.
 Last fall he left for California to join his troop, which later was trans erred to Fl Paso, Texas. His letters have been few and far between, put his brother is very anxious concerning his whereabouts, since the American troops have entered Mexico. No word has been received from him for four months When he left last fall, he said he would remain in service for seven years more, when he will be re- tired on pension of s65 a month and spend the remainder of his days In Kensington. Sergeant Garrity is anly forty years old and will have served thirty years .n the regular army before ne passes the fftieth milestone os his career.
 Sun Brings Out Buds.
 The warm sun of yesterday and this morning has been of considerable value to the local peach growers. This morning an inspection was made of the trees Tn the Connections Valley Orchard and buds were found on nearly every tree. J. T. Molum phy said the situation looks very promis- ing and he expects a large crop of the luscious fruit this year. More buds have been killed this winter than usual, but the feeling is the output will compare favorably with recent years.
