Mr. Luke McDonald, the able and popular general manager of tile big store of the McDonald Furniture Com pany, returned yesterday from a trip to Cedartown, where he has been for several days. While In Cedartown he completed arrangements for opening a branch house of the big Rome establishment known as the McDonald Furniture Company. This store will be a credit to Cedar- ■ town, and will give the people there an opportunity to purchase all kinds of furniture at the very lowest prices. - The McDonald, Furniture Company is nothing if not enterprising.—Rome Tribune, lltli.

Dhar Editors:—Varied has been my experience as one in the ranks oi Uncle Sam, and irotn this land of mystery, beauty, richness of natural re* sources and romance, I write. Tropl- caI, its environment tends to create a soft lull ami soothing Intluonco which permeates the innor depths of man. Here are the lapping silvery waves, kissing in allimty the soil rich in fe cundating properties, hero thoso lands soem to rise without one harsh appear ance above the soft blue shimmering sea, and roigning in naturo’s prestige with sylph and charm. From plain to sea-cnast tho topography undulates at times, and then again tho surfaco is brought to existence in rough and rug ged mountains suporotnincut, and to agAlti give way to rich, tortile and boau- tltul valleys. In all, those lands area veritablo paradise and the climate is perfect. Our regiment (44th United States Volunteeis) arrived at Manila on tho lDlh of December, 1899, and after certain, preliminaries we were started south to Negros Island, whoro the Visayan tongue is spokon, Co. A, 44th Regiment, accompanying us. We landed at Bacolod, tho capital and military headquarters of Negros. Co. A re mained to garrison Bacolod, and our company (D) started out on its cam paigning expedition tho next day altor landing at Bacolod, and you can im agine how hard it was to march after living on board the City ol Pueblo transport for 35 days. But wo started out to do a stern duty, and you can im agine tho sensation of an oxpoeted light and the divers opinions each fellow en tertained to himself. Of course every man had faith and confidence in our handsome, brave and fearless captain, Frank K. Curtis, Wo loft Baoolod on our first march about 4 p. m., with our Krag-Jargonson rifles, loaded in chain her and magazine. This new novelty of expectation in tho way of attack had a tingling sensation and a somi-anxiety tor* all of us, fresh from the Stales, whoro soldiering is too tame for a vol unteer who is chock full of life and a surplus of onergy which he must ex pend. Night ovorrook us as we marched toward Sutnag, where wo wore to stop tor the night. A detachment was hur ried ahead so as to prepare coffee and bacon for the main part of our company when wo would arrive. Wo crossed few rivers, and distinctly I rontombor wo were ferried across one river on raft of bamboo polos lashed together. We had taken tho company rations, etc., loading it on carts which we hauled by a sluggard, slow boast called tho caraboa,” and our caravan of 18 carts presented an uniquo appearanco, with two soldiers at every cart ready to pro tect against an attack of ourenoiny on our ration train. In a dark and black niglit wo trundled along over rough roads, up and down hill, and as tho tropics were strange to us, wo wore rather nervous and irritable by reason of such a plodding method of transit, Wo arrived atSumag, where hot cofleo, hardtack and bacon refreshed qs, and I never witnessed a moro natural sight as we gathered about tho lingo blazing camp-fire, munching hardtack and full of vim, and with such a novel life, wo swapped stories and enjoyed this scone immensely during the period that was used to dry our wet clothing. Our cap tain threw oil the conventional dignity of an ofilcerand entered into the spirit of tho fun, for it was then fun with us. Posting the guard, we rolled in to sleep lor the night in an old convent, scon to dream of sweethearts, mothers and friends in the far-ofl United States. Reveille roused us early next morn ing, and aftepeating our morning mess, we started to march at dawn to Maao, and at noon we came to a river which required canoes to transfer our belong ings across, ready to resume the march immediately after mess. Proceeding to Maao from the river, we had not gone far when a native on horseback rode up, excited, and said that the insur gents were coming toward us. This wo believed, because of tho force of Amerl cans at Bacolod telling us that w< would go but a short distance when we would lie attacked. Orders were given to prepare for attack, and scout ing and flanking consumed sometime, and then a heavy rainfall, with slow mode of travel and an expected attack held us back so as to let night overtake us. Descending the river, on entering into Maao we had to cut a roadway where we wore to ford the river with carts, using our bayonets, and such an experience over rough roads, with every thread wet, I shall never forget, dark night in a strange land and in tho enemy’s country kept us ever on tho alert for a surprise, and we would call and answer each squad as they crossed the river, for darkness made vision ob scure. About 10 p. m. we reached Maao, where we ate a meagre ration and slept in the municipal building, which was turned over to us by the prosidente, who was quite a wealthy man, and who welcomed the Americans because tho insurgents had formerly extracted mon eys from him at different times, am ho needed such protection from Ameri cans. The town of Maao was our head quarters for a few days, and from hero we went on a scouting expedition into the mountains. Going through wild jungles, traversing rich but wild and uncultivated lands, climbing tho steep | surfaces as they presented themselves, I we very wearily found a camp In tho I deep enclosure of the forest, whore two houses were built by the natives. Ar riving at the home of this family, they were surprised and greatly frightened to find the “white face” so far in tho in terior. A heavy rainfall soaked our clothes and chilled our bodies, and cof fee was boiled under trying circum stances. Darkness followed this mess, and posting our guards, etc., we laid ou mother earth, with tlie heavens as our covering. Early next morning we scouted in different directions, and scaling differ ent parts of tho mountains, our eyes rested on Huonory which is indoed grand. Not discovering any signs of a hostile nature, wo retraced our steps back to Maao, and in a tew days marched to La Carlota, ten miles distant, whoro Co.> II, ot tho 0th Infantry Rogulars, wore stationed, with Lieut. Col, Byrnes in command. La Carlota was tho only town of any importance since wo loft Maao; its old church was a rustic tiling of beauty, and tho walls of a now odi- (lee woro constructed somo time ago, but through some means novel* fin ished, and today it stands a monumont of decaying Spanish architecture. From La Carlota woro sent diflorent detach monts to garrison Pontevedra and Valladolid, 1st Limit. R. W, Bu chanan in charge ot Pontevedra, and 2d Lieut. Benjamin R. Hall in charge of Valladolid, leaving tho greater portion ot Co. D (44th) at La Carlota with Capt, F. R. Curtis. Pontevedra is a quaint old town on the coast, with a church over 300 years old, and Valladolid is tho fashionable town of Nogros, on tho coast, and the hot-bed oi insurrection; but tho Americans wero well troated at both places. The usual routino of garrisoning followod but a short time, when, in the month of January, Co. D, of tho 44th Volunteers, and Co. II, of tho (Jth Reg ulars, had a light, Col. Byrnos com manding the regulars, and Capt. Cur tis handling Ins company. This was our lirst light, and tho way the volun teers waded into it with vim is hard to desoribo. Not an American wus hurt, but our work left many killed or woptidcri, and wo captured arms from the' insurgents. We woro unfortunate in not capturing an insurgent general, as ho barely escaped. Mauser bullets whistled furious, and our Initial stop pleased all. Scouting in the mountains, detached duty, oto., consumed most ot our tiino until wo left Negros Island, sailing to Leyte Island, one of tho most hostilo of the group. Wo lauded hero tho lltli April, and tho 2(ith found us in deadly combat with Gon. Mojica’s force, Wo broke camp at Burauon at 8.30 a. in-, and marobod in quick order up the mountains until 12 m., when wc countered throe distinct forts, which wo conquered after a light of twelvo hours, with tho American force losing only 2 killed and 16 wounded. They used cans non^ rifles, shotguns, spoars, oto., us, but our force of 83 woro against 400 Filipinos, and 100 wero killed and about 180 wounded, besides capturing 12/ rifles, fl cannon, etc., and a largo quan tity oi powder. This is the strongest fortification in tho whole group, and it was a victory for us. Maj. Andrews, of the 1st Battalion 43d Vols., Capt. F. R. Curtis, Co. D, 44th Vols., and Lieut, Johnson, chief of scouts, participated and led the mon to success. Since this battle we liavo had only skirmishes ot no great account. At present we are situated at Ormoc, Leyte Isle, from where I write you Insurrection is breeding here, and in time we expect another encounter with Gen. Mojica. My health here is excol- lont, and with the homesickness, noth ing else aflects us. I close. Regards to my friends and success to all. Very sincerely, »•’. M. Gilmore, Sergt. Co. D, 44th U. S.
