to belong to before joining the battery, It helps some to know that three of the five were at one time members of this battery.
 At last the long looked for day ar rived Wednesday and the boys are happy once more. They received t1eir first pay since arriving. It was only for one month but 1t went a long way toward paying some of the debts cpn- tracted during the payless period which was a long one. Tonight the stores are about bought out of sal sweets which are in great demands at all times by the men. The Y. Ms c, A. which opened in town for the first time u short time ago was bought out
 of everything the second day they were doing business. Money is spent freely by the boys when they have it
 but they don't have it very often or long, The merchants in the town l realized a small sized fortune as they increased the prices on about every thing they had. We are going to lose our cows and chickens that we have begun to make friends with as we hare got to move 1 out of our billett into another one.s It ! is the same kind of building, barn, i but there are no inhabitants besides 1 ourselves,
 l All of the local boys in the outfit | etill continue in the best of heath and 1 sIa'rits. I haven't seen Dick Gregson 1 in some tima not since I wrote to 1 Myles, but I hear from him through l Shorty Malcolm most every day and from what I hear he is gettin CT very
 we'll Tn fact all of the boys in the regiment send in word about them ! selves enGe in a while and they are all | feeling fine and getting on great. We expect Jiggs Denohue from Battery
 E over Sunday to see our ball game. l Last Sundays game was huge sue cess for our team as we defeated Bat ! tery c team, seven to nothing. It was a fair game for the first offense ttl[s season. When the league starts up we i expect to make q great showing. Sam
 my Grove makes Q great showing for our battery. Another thing that has
 been arranged for the men of this
 battalion is a smoker that is to be
 held the twenty fifth Of this month.
 The Tegimental band is to come over
 and play and great time is expected. The main attraction of the evening
 will be boxing bouts between the men
 of lile two batteries. We have some
 pretty good men when il comes to the
 art of self defense. Another thing
 that the hays Of this battery have de- c,ded to do tha. the folks at home may
 be interested in is that they are going ] to purchase an organ for the local
 church and leave it as memorial.
 The peop!a of the town are very much
 pleased with the idea. Money has al- ready been donated for the cause. I Tn closing 1 want to ask you to tell { all of the folks of the boys not to Tor- " as we are n0 nearer the front than ' | ever and that every one is getting on
