TAMPA MAN WRITES OF CON-
DITIONS ON THE BORDER

The followlng from the Tampa
Times of last night is of interest.
Interesting letters come now and
then from the boys on the border,
and the following extracts from a
letter to Mrs. Morris Givens from her
husband throw few new side lights
on the Texas layout. Mr. Givens is
with Co. II at San Ygnacio.
Il do not believe l have ever writ
ten you how We are located here, and
a little description of it will not be
amiss. The little village Of San
Ygnacio lies on the eastern bank Of
the Rio Grande, a little over "a
miles southeast from Laredo. There
are not over three or four hundred
Inhabitants, all Mexicans or of Mex
lean descent, save one or two. There
is one church (Catholic), five stores,
one pool and beer saloon, and the
rest of the village consists of dwell
| ings for the inhabitants. The bet
/ ter class live in houses built of sand
stone, this being quarried in the In
mediate vicinity, and by cheap la
| Dor; others live in mud houses, built
Of mesquite logs not over four or
five inches, mostly 2 1-2 or 8 inches
in diameter, set upright in the
ground and plastered with clay:

more pretentious houses are built OF

lions, and strange as it may seen,
are kept scrupulously clean. to the
contrary of the person, whose heads
and body are full of lice, although
their clothing is carefully and clean

plaza, of course, and the village is
built around this plaza Here on
Sunday afternoons we have a pa
rade, more to impress the natives
than anything else, certainly not
for our comfort, because it is too dry
and dusty and the unpaved roadway
throws dust in our eyes and clogs
cur lungs so that at times breathing
is difficult.
Our camp is about 100 yards south
of the village. Here is stationed
Companies II, F. and the machine

infantry In addition, we have a |
squad or two of cavalry, part of the
Fourteenth, U. s. cavalry. The
troops are protected by rifle trenches
and parapets entirely surrounding ,

This is the season of county fairs
in Florida, and this in itself is a
source of wonderment to the North
ern visitor, who cannot conceive of
county fair except at the close Of
summer. But when he sees the
magnificent displays of fruits. ber-
ries and vegetables, he has borne in
upon him the concrete evidence of
Florida's wonderful productiveness
and CT her unique geographical posi-
ton, making her growing season a.
a time when her sister States arc
snow-bound and ice-covered. The
county fair has a peculiar advertis-
ing value in Florida, and this applies
to an even greater degree to the
great South Florida Fair at Tampa,
which will open next week, and
which will be many county fairs
rolled into one great exposition of
South Florida's products and re-
sources.

There was a considerable sum of
money allotted to Florida last year
under the Federal Aid road law. This
year Florida is entitled to $111,95a.
We do not doubt but that this money
is being used to the best advantage,
but We are curious to know of it's
disposition. Can any one enlighten
US? That's a nifty little bunch of
money, and if we are to get that
much every year considerable road
building could be done by the State.

Continual Bombardment.
Not only the cathedral but all the

have turned rain of shells to the

have been defeated at any point OF
the front. These defeats have been so
frequent, either on small or large
scale since the allied offensive began
this year that the city has rarely
passed more than two or three days
without undergoing severe lombard
