Dear Friend:
Just a few lines to let you know
how the 59th Pioneers are getting
along Everything is fine and every
one is happy and doing their bit in the
best way.
The regiment is split up into COM
panies and scattered all along two
fronts, and most all are doing different
work, so you see the colonel is on the
road the most of the time l have
covered over 1400 miles in the past
two weeks visiting the different com
panies. Some of them are working
under shell fire. Sunday past l was
in ground just vacated by the Ger
mans and was in several of the dug
outs. One / was in was all made Of
concrete and had everything in it q
person would want for comfort. 1t had
bath rooms, kitchens, dining rooms,
living rooms, running water. electric
lights; in fact. everything but eleva-
tors. II opened into the old front line
trenches. which were all of concrete.
Then l was in several machine gun
nests and you could see car loads of
ammunition which the Germans had
left. l also saw several first aid packs
which were fresh with blood
Tonight we were going up TO one
of the companies and stopped in a
town where the French have a look
out post which has taken them a year
TO construct, and we went up in it and
could see clear over on the German
lines. My eyes are in bad shape to-
night from looking so hard While .
we were up there we saw two air .
fights, which were great-were more
exciting than an auto race.
While | was eating supper a big
krupp gun which the Americans have
-aken and are now using went OFF
about 300 yards away and | dropped
my mess kit l could not tell what
lad happened They say you get used
o it but | don't think / ever will.
Now, Col. give my best regards to
III OF my friends. Tell them that the
way things look now We will all be
lone soon.
Best regards.

JAMESON STORE HOUSE
BROKEN into AND ROBBED
BLOOD HOUNDS TELEPHONED
FOR FROM NASHviLLE-GoT
LOST, FAIL TO SHOW UP.
(Tuesday's Daily Herald.)

The store house of L. Sparkman
at Jameson was broken into and rob-
bed last night. According to Mr..
Sparkman, owner of the store, only
few articles have been missed so
far. He stated that he missed some
overalls, pocket knives and shirts,
but that he had not made thorough
investigation, that he had telephoned
early this morning to Nashville for
blood hounds, but up till two o'clock
they had failed to show up, and he is
of the opinion that they went some
where else.
The burglars gained entrance to
the store by prizing off a piece of the
weather boarding at the side of the
door, knocking off the ceiling on the
inside and reaching through, taking
the key out of the pin that held the
large iron bar across the door, and
then forcing the door.
Mr.. Sparkman stated that he felt
confident that who ever committed
the robbery was thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the store and the location
Of everything. The burglars did not
get any cash.
