Editor of the Shen HERALD,
Dear Sir:-So far as I can see the
boys from Shenandoah County are
better equipped, Thanks to the citi-
zens of Woodstock than any bunch
from any other county.
Upon arriving here we were assign
ed to Company I, 3ls Regiment OF
Infantry. After each drawing a pair
of blankets and a bed sack, they
turned us loose into pile OF straw.
We soon filled our bags and made our
beds. Most of the boys complained
bitterly because there we're no pillows,
but it did them no good. We are
learning now how to sleep without
pillows.
The next day we were transferred
to Company A, Of the same regiment.
We are altogether now, except 10y
W. Miller, who is assigned to Com
rany E, of 3lS Reg. Infy.
Each day there is squad Of men
detailed for kitchen work; none of us
have been on that detail. Although
nearly all of US have been detailed on
some work or other.
1t is very amusing to see some of
the boys here in palmbeach suits
washing their ''mess kits" and en-
deavoring to keep from getting greasy.
There is fellow in our barracks
who has a banjo and does lot
toward cheering US up.
Saturday we took up collection
in Co. A, and we made up Fifty Dol
lars, with which we propose to hire q
player piano.
They have not been very strict on
us SO far, but notices are posted that
military life will begin with "reyeille"
at $40 Monday morning.
We were measured for our uniforms
Friday, and are daily expecting them.
We have been notified that after get
ting our uniforms we will have to
salute all officers.
We are under command of Captain
Goldsmith, who is highly esteemed by
ever man in the company. The
captain. together with the five lieu
tenants OF our company are all from
the training camp at Fort Myer.
The Y. M. G. A. here furnishes a
very pleasant evening for anyone
who wishes to attend they have
special music and singing every eve.

Life over here is not an idle one by
any means. We have II hours o.
drill each day, and half hour exercise
each morning before breakfast, ther
we have breakfast, after which VI

On Sunday we can do as we please

hearts are right back there with then

The Water Question.

The HERALD has been mildly criti
cised for'publishing, week after week
the condition Of the reservoir and the
danger OF water famine.
The object of these publications IL
to induce our citizens to be careful In
the use of water and to permit none
to be wasted. IT'S well known fact
that all the water does not reach the
reservoir, as 1t Is conducted in terra
Gotta pipes which are liable to be
penetrated by rootlets and thus cause
many leaks. At one time, 1t was
thought that there was a leak in the
reservoir, but now the water seems
to be too low to leak out
Another cause is the unnecessary
waste of water in the town and neigh
borhood
Some are of~the opinion that there
is not water enough in the mountain
10 supply the town. We should cer-
tainly ascertain, and al once, the
cause of the lack OF water.
Ii 1t is fact that the town requires
more water than we can get with our
present system, the sooner we know
it, the better. We must have water.
The present system is not a failure.
1t is the most valuable asset of the
town. 1t pays its cost and yields
annually handsome revenue.
The population of the town has
increased fifty per cent since the pres.
ent system was inaugurated. Man
ufactories requiring water have in
creased, and certainly an increased
supply of water is required every
year. The voice of every citizen, we
believe, is 1--WE must and will have
it," If we determine to have it, we
can get 1t. Let us all determine.
Before resorting to more expensive
measures, have competent person
to examine Thoroughly the line OF
the terra Gotta pipes, and have it done
at once. The springs on that line
during a more severe drought than
has prevailed this year, yielded
large quantity of water and it is more
than probable that thewa ter is still
there.
During the last week, the supply
has slightly increased, but it is still
below the danger line This may be
due TO the fact that a number of our
citizens are careful in the use of
water, or that not as much water was
used during the colder weather.

Court Day.

A good crowd was in town on court
day and business generally was good.
Several horse buyers were here but
very few horsee we're offered and
prices were not attractive. The usual
number of children from the country
were not present as many were not
aware that the quarantine Of children
had been lifted.
