FINE LETTER FROM
BERNARD c. BRUCE
Lines From Sidney Young
Man, Now At Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Georgia.

Editor Record:-I take advantage
of the fact that my first and only
letter found space in your columns.
| do not mean to be selfish or pig
sish in asking space for another
publication, but | appreciate the
courtesy before shown me.
| After long and anxious waiting
for the time to come, we left Fort
Sill, Okla, December q. The prep
arations for our departure were not
at all enjoyable, but bearable. Our
equipments had been packed some
time before, so all that was left for
US to do just prior to leaving was
to load That was no small job,
but was accomplished in about
eight hours. There were in all
eight flat cars Of guns and carriages,
four cars of ammunition, three cars
OF forage and seven cars of horses,
besides the seven Pullmans and
one baggage car, the latter being
our cook car. We pulled out of our
old stamping ground about 7 p, m.
The route chosen seemed to be
far out of the way in going from
Fort Sill to Macon, Ga, our destina-
ton. We came by Fort Worth,
Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Me-
ridian, Birmingham and Atlanta.
The country through which we
passed had many interesting feat
ures, as the big majority of us had
never been through that section Of
the country before. There was a
big contrast between the dense pine
forests, the cypress swamps and the
groves Of wild meenolias of Louisi-
ana and the dry, lifeless plains Of
the Middle West. 1t seemed, we
imagined, we were being transport
ed by a special route from hades to
the realm above, but we found our
selves mistaken later.
There were numerous events and
sights besides the above mentioned
that were very enjoyable, but in
nearly every case they were coun-
ter.balanced by diSagreeable fac
tors. The horses had to be cared
for, and that necessitated unloading
and reloadipe repeatedly, The food
was not exactly what 1t could have
been, especially after we got TO a
wet town and the cooks, as did
the biz majority OF the other boys,
sot drunk There we're not the ac'
commodations provided on our
train, such as heat, light and water,
that civilians enjoy in their travel.
Lastly, we were making the trip at
the time Of year when we all lonaed
especially to be at our homes. The
25th was largely spent in New Or
leans, and It was there that we had
to be contented with cheese oand-
wich for Christmas dinner We dn'
ally arrived at Camp Wheeler, Mac
on, Ga, December a.
We rolled out Of our berths about
1880 p. m, after having been de-
layed five hours on the account OF
one of our stock cars being wrecked,
and began to unload In a rain that
froze all over US, The cold damp
ness cut US severely, as we had
been dry weather birds" so Iona In
Oklahoma, Now we were begun
nine to realize that Fort Sill was
not the worst place In the world
The lob of unloading having been
completed about So toe we went
up and pitched camp
We received a very hearty wei
come from our first battalion that
cheefed the boys up d bit, In fact

be. The 9th Field is soon to he
motorized, and then it will not
make so much difference as to the
drill grounds.
My stay at Camp Wheeler was
short, as | was one of the three men
from our battery selected to attend
the Third Officers Training Camp
at Fort 0glethorpe, Ga.
Fort Oglethorpe is beautifully To-
Gated, eleven miles south of Chat
tanooga, Tenn, under ! the very
caves of Lookout Mountain, and
comprises a part Of Chickamauga
Park, the old battlefield for which
it was named. The ground is roll,
ing, aflording good drainage. The
deep forests of pine and oak are
carefully watched in order that
their beauty may be preserved.
These forests are literally dotted
with and the roads are adorned
with statues and monuments, on
which is recorded the valor of some
company, battery or troop that ell
gagged the enemy at that particular
part Of the field in the hotly con,
tested battle Of Chickamauea on
September 18th and Goth, 1863.

NEW METHODS

Why should a man from large
city find it necessary to come to a
small town to peddle glasses? Does
a city not furnish enough work for
a competent man to do?
Fitting glasses today is not like it
was ten years ago.
Now it takes dark room equip
ment that is carefully lighted and
charts placed at certain distances to
do the work properly. You can not
get this in your own home. =. &c..
The city does not furnish more
knowledge than the smaller commun-
tiles. If it did you would be justified
in going there. Fitting glasses is a
science toda. You should not trust
your eyes to door peddlers Of glasses.
When you want pair OF glasses,
you will find my office well equipped
for testing and fitting glasses for the
most difficult cases, and for cross
eyes. Don't put it off.

ORR ROYs AT CAMP DODGE

According to letters received by rel
atives here, the young men who went
to Camp Dodge on the 23d of Febru-
airy, are all entering into the task
before them in true American spirit.
The boys are well satisfied with the
care and treatment they receive, and
are hard at it preparing to do their
part in the great war. One of the
BOYS wrote home and said that if
any of them do not get enough to eat
it. is his own fault. He says that
they have plenty of the very best
kind Of food. Plenty Of wholesome
amusement and recreation is also sup
piled through the Y. M. G. A. and
X. c. organizations.
