 It is noticeable in places that the little birds are not forgotten while the ground is covered with snow, as many are fed daily by thoughtful peo- | pie who scatter food ih locations where the birds can find it. For sew eral days past a Town Street resi- dent &as placed food on the roof oi a woodshed. and after the last heavy | fall of snow even cleared off part
 of the roof so that the flock of black birds which came daily might continue
 their visits. where they always find food waiting for them.

When William Farris Adams left
Union City to enlist in the United
States Marine Corps he was promised
travel. That is what he wanted
and he certainly has not been dis
appointed.
Young Adams is the son of Joshua
Adams, for merly Chief of Police of
this city. He joined the Marines last
March and was transferred to Paris
Island, South Carolina, for his ele-
mentary training. Being exception
ally proficient in his duties, he fin
ished the course in six weeks, hav-
ing become well versed in the use of
the rifle and bayonet and the many
other details that go to make a real
marine. He then went through the
''sea going" school, learning all the
nautical expressions and usages, and
emerged fully equipped to take his
place ashore or afioat.
The U. S. s. Pittsburgh was stand
ing by in New York for trip across,
and Private Adams was ordered
aboard. Subsequent events are best
described in the following letter,
which was recently received by Ser
geant Walter B. Bell, U. S. Marines,
who caused young Adams to enlist:
