"Snowbound' has nothing on the

as the snow came up there in the
New England states years ago, SO it
came last night and all day today,
covering the camp, barracks and the
guards so thoroughly that the guards
look like snow men. Were it not for
the fact that they move continually
along their posts they would be mis-
taken for snow men.
Somebody here ventured to say
last September that snow was very
uncommon here and that there real
ly was a Sunny South" That some
body cannot be found hereabouts
now and perhaps it is best for him,
Thursday the regiment received a
consignment of caissons. They were
brought in to await the arrival of
some new field pieces soon to follow.
Horses. too, are coming in every day
from the remount station and soon
the entire regiment will have full
consignment of animals.

of Petersburg were given scare

the Army, after tour of those pla-

two restaurants because they were

Another version is that Smith was
saved for a game on the home
