A letter from w. o. Termination.
one OF the Bourbon county boys in
the United States Navy, stationed on
the Atlantic coast, says, in part:
! l have just received the first cow
OF THE NEWS since last November
1t certainly was appreciated. think
have read about everything in if
L assure you that there isn't a Bol1r-
bon county boy in the navy that
would be better satisfied with pa
per than they are with THE NEWS.
Il was in an Atlantic port last
Saturday, and while there saw young
WEIGH, of the Mississippi. He is in
perfect health and is as large as any
BODY. WEIGH is nephew of Mr..
John Chism, of Paris. -. L am go
ing to try to make a visit to Ben
Leach and Carl Mitchell this week, as
L have not had chance to see them
yet. Ed Doty and me are together
once or twice every month. He is
about the only Bourbon county bow
that l get to see often, and we are
getting to be old-timers on our ships
now. If the time passes in the
future as quickly as it has in the last
| fifteen months we will be good
enough to catch two or three Kaisers
49,. Well, there goes the call to
mess, and that means something to
me, so good bye for this time"
Writing from Chester, Pa, where
he is stationed in the shipbuilding
branch of the service, Kimbrough
Duvall,. son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Duvall, who left Paris some time ago
as volunteer, says, in part:
Are the boys still leaving good old
Paris? l guess we have a very good
job here now, one that will hold us
for a while, but honest, we like it
fine. There are only 800 of us
here, but there is another bunch
here in Chester, some place, John A.
Mcnamara, George Leslie and l are
the only Bourbon county boys here.
The others are over in the other
camp. 49,. The people here are very
kind to us, and send us something
every day. We are all under quaran-
| tine and will be for ten days. Some
of the boys are little homesick, but
they are getting over it now, as we
are having fine time in camp.
l was surely glad to get into a camp
| in the northeast instead of the south.
! We go as recruits to the regular
army, instead of the National army
l don't know how long we will be
here, as we may leave for another
camp at any time. "A drafted
man from Winchester, whose name
will not give, refused to put on a uni
form at Fl. Thomas. think he will
get about ten years in a Federal
| prison. =. . All the boys now seem

The Red Cross people came out this
afternoon with cigarettes and things
1911 will certainly be glad when
this quarantine is declared off, for
want to take look at the old town
..... Just heard the mess call and
you know that is where 1 shine, for
| they certainly do feed you good out
here. 80. Will send you my perma-
nent address soon At present 1 am
with the Sun Snipbuilding Co., at
Chester"
Jack Turney writes from Camp
Zachary Taylor to THE NEWS, at
follows: Am just twenty-eight
years old to-day and the Mayor of
Louisville has ordered all business
houses, except the saloons closed, in
honor of the event, so why should
worry. If 1 can register here l will
surely vote for him. -. The officers
| here at the Camp are also very con-
siderate and complimented me on my
birthday by letting me eat as usual,
after they did. -. How the tip got
! out that this was the big handicap
| don't know, but such is life. SO.
Fielding Rogers has gone to the Off
GERS Training Camp for something
bigger, but as / am now getting a
dollar a day, guess I'll stick around
the Camp for a while. 80. We have
been issued shoes that would make
Ike Duffy's look like triple 9's. A
fellow doesn't know where he is go
ing, but just follows his shoes. No
wonder leather is so high and scarce,
for it's all down here. Tell Os-
car Hinton / was out on the golf

gun instead of the regulation golf
clubs. Some of the boys, seeing the
holes, asked permission to get a
drink Inst overheard a CONVEX
