I enjoyed my holiday the 22nd with full pack I drilline all the day.-- I will be only loo Wad when I can say and do as I please once more. I didn't mind the war but the army is not a place for me when there is no war. You asked me if I was boarding with the German people too. Xo I do not board with theui. I ut our whole regiment stays in their houses here. The German erovern- ment gives the people seven phennings a day for each soldier that they ac- jcohodate. That is about one cent per l'ay.

My. dear Sis: -I same back last night from a seven days' trip north of Trayes con- jvoying some trucks and when I got jback I had a stack of mail five'-letters jfrom you and some of them "hot" let ters from Uncle John; Pa's letter with the money in it, and ; about eight from E; and two Littleton, papers. I rested alii day today (Sunday) and I spent the half day- reading my mail and I did certainly enjoy it. Also T. K.s written December 28th came and less, I am always gladvto get them. Tell T. K. I enjoyed his letter and will write him later, and tell him it is true I like "limbs" and not "twigs," and ask him to sell to A. .E. F. some Franklin trucks so we won't have to J pack water every morning and to steer easy. I don't let the boys kick the Franklin and, to tell the truth, nobody does. I was taken sick on that trip 'and came back to my company before we got through our work, but I am feeling better now. Not drinking any water and just strong coffee and riding so much on those hard trucks upset my kidneys. You know we are order ed, not to drink any water in France ! unless it is chlorinated, as it is all in fected and is poisonous. The rip gave me a terrible back-ache. We went 25 K. north of Trayes. I am making out very, well today and will go back to work tomorrow if they need me. I bought me some "Mentholatum the other day. It is good medicine. Am glad you gave Uncle John such a good birth-day dinner. Wish I could nave oeen tnere as Vi v Dickens, took a business trip to War would have done my part on the cake .a.-i-:. - , and wine. They talk about French , fine wine, but l nave not seen n. x would not g.ve aquart of yours for a visited -in -the home of Mrs H. barrel of the.r "Vm Rueh" and ."V" , M- Johnston near Littleton Wednes Blanc" over here. You know the peo- i - pie over here drink it for water. It is as sour as vinegar and as for lag nac and rum, I am off that for life too. Tell little. Joe Farror, "hello:" and his letter that I received some time ago was very cute. Tell uncle John I enjoyed all his letters and th-3 one about his calomel. Well, I laughed heartily at it and read it to some of the boys and they enjoyed it too. Some one saidT "Suppose a cen- naa gonen nom ox il, Su, would have had fun too." i toia tnem he was one of my uncles that wrote 'just like he felt and was as funny as Knv had a mouth full of sound c j j teeth, at the age of seventy-two, was a Washington and Lee student and 'the champion speller of the English 'sneaking world. After getting - Pa's 4$30.00 sent by him and: having saved a hundred francs last month and with 'this month's pay I can have 400 francs with which to visit Paris. I guess! this ity is about all there is of , special interest to see and I want to , see it 'more for the sake of the.riame than j JlVCry tlllllji IB ci; ' mgii uu i,aiv.k r here; SJ. have paid twenty cents many times 'jfor three or four-very small apples and ten cents each for small oranges.. We get everything at the Sales Commissary as Y. M. C. A. and the French stores are sky high on prices. ; It is mice of you to send stationery and I appreciate it but you need -not send arty more. I can find plenty free and have, a bunch of yours for emer gency. J,Don't think you need listen to the papers about .when the divisions are going home for they know nothing about it and if it is for any purpose it is to make the people at home feel good arid for other reasons you may guss. Some think we may spend, the summer here and-may go into Germa ny to relieve some division in the army of occupation. It is. published on the bulletins board- down; town the sailing bf'otivistSn not mentioned. Maybe I can stand it better whenthe Spring and Summer come. Well, I have no more news but am ever hoping to hear good news and the only good news over here is Goin ! Home. Something may turn up, name ly, a hasty and satisfactory peace, 'etc., and send us all across. I don't believe any combat divisions will leave uRtil peace is fully settled.

BOARD DECIDES TO GAIN EXPRESSION AT PRIMARY From Voters As To Town Tak ing Stock In a Hotel Here; The Electrie Light Office To Be Moved to the Town Hall. The Board of Town Commissioners in session Tuesday night granted $100 to the colored citizens of Warren coun ty to be used for an orderly, consera tive celebration here Easter Monday; in honor of the colored soldiers of the County. The : vote was unanimous. Request on behalf of the colored citi zens was made-by H. H. Taylor. After all . routine business . had re ceifed attention, the Hotel question came up for discussion. In view of the fact that the primary was , to be held at an early date, April1 25th, it was thought best, after general dis cussion -to gain the will of the people upon the town's investing in a hotel. This action to come after the Hotel committee had received subscriptions from citizens and the town's aid to come as a supplementary measure if necessary and if favored by a majority of the voters. ' . The general sentiment was to pro cure subscriptions at once and to work the whole matter to a point by the night of the primary giving upon this ' occasion and opportunity to express the need for a hotel, its advantages, and then to receive an expression of citizen-opinion. The request from those operating the stalls in the Town Hall that the Board reconsider its decision made last meeting to convert- the market house into an Electric Light office re ceived little attention. Reports were novating was soon to be done. , Letter From Boyd Stegall In France Neace, France, March 4, 1919.
