NEWS FROM WINDER BOY IN
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Writes Interestingly of His Trip
from the States Across
the Pacific Ocean.
Ti e following is an unusually in
terest ng letter from Mr. Chester A.
Maynard, who left Winder several
months ago and joined the l nited
States Army in Columbus Ohio. From
there he was sent to San Francisco,
Cal. and soon after was ordered to
Honolulu, the capital of the Hawaii
an Islands on detail service. He was
about eight days at sea, arriving in
Hawaii the 12th of October. On the
day after arriving he mailed a letter
to home-folks which reached the
United States about the 25th of Oct.
and was received at the Winder Post
Office on Monday of this week. Giles
ter has scores of friends here who
will be interested in parts of his
letter. They are as follows:
Honolulu, H. I.
Oct. 13, 1916.
Dear Homefolks:-
1 am writing ti is letter from the
beautiful little city of Honolulu,
which is just abcut six thousand
miles from home, so it w r iil certain
ly l ave to travel some before reach
ing you. We steamed into harbor
late last nig t and spent the night
in our bunks on board. After a bul
ly breakfast w ? e landed this morning
and opened cur eyes in w-onder at
things in general. I am stationed
just t’ree miles cut of Honolulu ai
Fort Shatter. I was sure a lucky
guy to get this place, as the rest
of the detachment w r as sent twenty
seven miles out into the country,
where the only things to be seen
are smoky mountains, monkeys and
lizards.
Without exaggeration, I can say
that Honolulu is the most beautiful
city I ever saw. It is situated right
on the coast and there is a long, lev
el beach which is wonderful. Asa
background, there are the cocoanut
and banana groves, lal a rich green
and in the distance the purple moun
tains. The sight certainly makes a
ing for home racund his heart,
ing around his heart.
The Island is rather small, only
about 100 miles in diameter. Hono
lulu has a population of about 60,
000, principally Japanese and Amer
icans. The natives are a small dark
people called Kanakas.
The voyage across the ocean was
not so pleasant at first. About one
hour after the first meal, my stom
ach began to feel queer and in ten
minutes later I quite unselfishly fed
the fish. I got sicker and sicker
for two days. Then I got better
and stood the rest of the trip fine.
We are stationed in one of the
prettiest buildings I ever saw. And
the eats. My goodness. I never
. knew they fed like that in the army
! But they sure do put it to us here.
| Fruits can be had here for almost
nothing. Pineapples, cocoanuts and
bananas ,are growing on evrey hand.
The climate is just bully. The
rainy season lasts only about a
month. All the rest of the year is
sunshine, sea-breezes and tropical
comfort. But all this cannot com
pare to the climate and the red old
hills of Georgia.
Sincerely,
Chester Maynard.

loaves and jack o'lanterns and mel
low moons. Everything was be*
charmed with a delightful rustic at
mosphere from tiie quaint costumes
of the guests to the dances them
sslves. The dances most in ev
dence were the old fashioned square
dance, the Virginia reel and the an
cient waltz. The most popular dance
of the evening was the Paul Jones,
a quaint dance of colonial days.
Refreshents consisting of locust
beer and ginger cakes were served
at the entrance by two bewitching
witches. Spooks and witches were
hidden behind, eveiy} haystack. Wise
old owls looked out from behind
large branches of red and yellow au
tumn leaves. The fragrant smell of
ripe apples, chestnut burrs and corn
stalks enhanced and increased the
rusticness of the occasion.
Everyone came masked and in cos
tume. The girls all wore dresses
of yellow and black. The costumes
of the men were unusually interest
ing and attractive. A number of
older people were present, not only
as chaperones, 'but to enjoy the
