■tn delightful EYEL NING. Tast Thursday evening, at the of Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Plun wo of W;1S the sc no a rare arc delightful social event of tin a a, occasion" was tendered by Xhe Plunket, in honor of the jj r F. ®any pretty visitors which are now a riding much life and enjoy meat to the many homes of our litt] 0 city and tne celebration of bis twenty-fifth birthday. Upon our arrival at this hospi¬ table home, we found many of the guests had arrived and the parlors, cool verandahs and yard was the scene of much gayety and myrth. Under the large, densely clothed trees were long tables, covered with spotless linen and upon which we reladened all kinds of available refreshments adapted for such an occasion. y[r. Plunket was the director-in c jjiaf of the evening pleasures, whilehis thoughtful mother and his charming sisters, Misses Nora and Yannie Lou, greatly concerned themselves about the intertaiu I meat of every one present. A notable feature of the occa I sion was the great number of bright I and pleasant visiting young ladies. I They were all young and exceed¬ ingly pretty. (Pardon us for in¬ sinuating that any ever became old and homely). As the clock began tolling the hour of twelve the guests began to fa Ire their leave, each one, how¬ ever, pronouncing the occasion a success, congratulating Mr. Plun¬ ket on being at a marriageable age and hoping that he will continue to celebrate each of his birth-days and that they will arrive early and often. Floyd is one of the most popu¬ lar and whole-souled fellows to be found anywhere. He likes his friends, and has many of them, and his friends are equally fond of him. May be live to be 100 years old.

The probability of this vehicle being used again is very remote. A friend m need is a friend in¬ deed, When you find him he is made of pure gold from top t,® bot¬ tom. He is worthy to in heavenly places and rest under the tree of Eden. A man may sit in the amen cor¬ ner, pay the preacher, get elected on all the delegations and miss a free ticket through the pearly gates atlasL Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble. He goeth out in the morning in all his glory and strength, thinking that he is the only pebble on the beach. Straight way he falieth into pol¬ itics and in the morning finds out he wasn’t any pebble on the beach at all. A goat may curl his hair and pass for a sheep here on earth, but sure as you are born he will occupy a goat pen in the great beyond.

G- P.Yilleu, de* scibeing briefly the PiiL ippine Islands. There is [no use of my saying anything o bout the war, for vow see everything I could tell you i» the paper. Besides it is possible to get more information at home than here. Nothing is allowed to be printed here until it has been censored, and the consor only lets such things go in as will not amount to much. One thing, fight* ing in not over, and will not be in i a long while yet. Some parts ar# pacified, where we are, such is tht condition, the ‘Mnsurrect toners 1 ’ surrendered all their arms. But just across on Luzon about forty miles to the east of us, there is fighting nearly every day. The customs here are practical¬ ly the same as in Mexico and Cn’"a s only there are no slaves except In the ‘Moro’ country, nor any peons. However all natives are lazy and only work when necessary to get food. The climate is quite projie tious, and they do not need much to work as a little work bring much “Palay” (rice), this is bread and meat. And then there is plen¬ ty of hogs, cattle and chicken, these you know don’t need either to be plowed or hoed, grass being free for them to feed upon. I had a nice trip across accom¬ panied at first by the usual ‘’Mae de mer”. Had a nice stay at Hon¬ olulu. But it was in the rain that we landed at Manilla, and the first month I hardly knew what it Was to be dry. I have had many strik¬ ing experiences since here, which can be better told than written. T guess wo are hero to stay now until ordered home. We have been on ' hoinove over since our arrival, have done some splendid service and our outfit is in magnificent fighting shape. I am on the island of Masbate at port Palanay. on the east coast opposite Ticao, we are in about the same latitude as the extreme north coast of South America. The boys still hang out at Bud Gniley’s, of course you would ex¬ pect that ; you know what his skin is, ********** k * * * *. Bee McDonald, Arthur Langford, and Foyd Plunket are hard stock—They may be taken at some “old horse’’ sale but hardly beforo. I see that the 0. V’s. have at last took into consideration the valuable services of “Emin Posha” and rewarded him accordingly. The country is now perfectly safe. The opportunities for trade here are numerous. But nearly all trade is monopolized by Jews and Chinese—the latter predominate. Conyers now talks to herself—so much noise is made I fail to hear the whirr of the cotton looms. There will have to be a moving away or other change before much enterprise will come to stay. Why don’t you marry some nice widow, and build up the town? We get our mail once a month only and you can imagine how gladly it is received. Reading mat¬ ter is very scarce. I have been in command of my company since March Brd, 1900. and it keeps me pretty close. There is enough paper work to keep two men busy all the time. My men are from nearly all over the states : Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Geor¬ gia, Alabama, both Virginias, New York, Rhode Island, Massachu¬ setts, Connecticut, Tex. and Ken¬ tucky. Nearly all nationalities are represented; French, German, Dutch, Irish, English, Cuban and Jew. The health of my command has been splended, not a single man of them has died. Give Ed Guinn my regards, and compliment him for me on hi§ paper and teil him he has and ap¬ preciative reader at the antipodes. Give my regards to Mr. .Jim and the family. With best wishes I am, Yours fraternally, E. H. Almand
