FROM DICK PRIM.
Dear Editor:—I have been intend-
ing to write a few lines to the Gazette
for some time.. I think it a fine paper
and have been a reader for some time.
I left Hopkins county last May, on
my way to Nebraska to seek a for-
tune, and found everything else but
that which I was looking for. Leav-
ing there, I went to Denver, Colo., and
enlisted in the U. S. Army.
Ofter an hours examination, I was
sent to Fort Logan, Colo., to be sworn
in. There, on Monday the 14th day of
September, 1910, I was sworn in to
serve my country for three years. I

There are many wonderful and in-
teresting things to be seen in this part
of the world, but space forbids a de-
tailed description. Such things of in-
terest, especially to one who has nev-
er seen the like before, have a ten-
dency to relieve the minds of the sol-
diers who are thousands of miles from
their native shores, and would other-
wise, become homesick.
Please print this in the paper for
me. will you, ojd pal?
Respectfully,
DICK PRIM.
