Cnmp General S. 13. M. Young, Au gusta, Ga Nov. 18. Tho Thirteenth Is now fairly well settled, and Its mem bers are already becoming quite accus tomed to life In Georgia. One must see the present site of the teglmcnt's oamj) to fully appreciate It. Tor two weeks prior to out nnlvnl bete the sluto had been using some of the criminals of the neighboring prisons for the purpose of constructing roads, with the result tliat the different ap proaches to camp are In excellent con dition. The camp ilte and the suiroundlmis nrc a pretty location We aie situated about three and a half miles to tlio southwest of the city of Augusta, uhobo lights at night time nr distinctly le llected In the clouds; and our tents are pitched right In the middle of what Is known as the Monte San Hills u ast sandy plain containing foui or live thousand ncres. perfectly flat, with nn elevation of 150 fiet above Augusta, and without the slightest semblance of vegetation, excepting an Intel mituie of an occasional cactus plant and couth oak, which seldom leaches a height of over two feet The pirsence of tund is n safe gnaianteo agnlnst one draw back which the men of the Thirteenth hae had a sui felt mud, which is un known here test of this has alieady been made since our at rival heie, it has been laln lng most of the lime, and Mill It Is not cold, and then' Is but the tut est suspicion of dirt or mud This in It self, Is appj-et l.ited, and when the weather shall have fultv ileal ed, this will probably be the healthiest as will as the most enjojable camp which the leglment has had sine enteiing the I'nlted Slates pet Ice always Hi;Airnrrr, Tin Tilbune cot ttspondent last m ing met seeiai Intelligent resident rs, wno li.ue !led In the neighborhood all their lhes, and they statid that this place his alwas been raled high for its genual healthfulness and that usu ally It does not lain o much as It ha been doing leccntly The Thitteenth's companj '-lieets run northeast by s-outhwiM. and as at i 'amp Meaile the kitchens aie plaoeil midway between the men's tents and tho olllcers' quartets mi that the (oin p.inv commanders may theieby be en abled tu everclho a mote caieful scru tln uer hjglenie conditions.

Tor better or for woiso, this holiday Talk Not too early to consider this prop ositionChristmas is only some six weeks forwai d. The holidays have a direct bearing upon our business. They create a demand for special lines the many lines of novelties and novel waies. for gift usages. Hence the special efforts that have been put forth months ago and are now being put forth to make this year's collection and display unprecedented. It's too eaily to speak in detail of the many lines, so only this men tion of some of the exclusive sorts that were gathered by our buyer while on the continent during the summer, and which are now receiv ing here, tor the first time, the light of day on American soil. There are Bronzes, Leathers and Dresdens from Germany; Hand Painted Toilet Articles, Nic-Nacs and Jewelry from France; Ivory, Cut Glass, Sliver and Gun Metal Novelties from England. All the important art centers of the old world have representatives in this veritable pan-municipal show. It's a duty owing to yourself to see ths vast collectiou of Statuettes, Busts, Vases, Toilet Things and Table Ar ticles. It's not a good time to ciyof prices art is not measuied by dol lars and cents. Therefore it's in Vonsistent to shout "Cheap ! Cheap !" in the same breath with "Finest and Best." Yet in truth we hold the nuttei of price as highly important. There is no sentimentality in out prices each mark is based on a business percentace of the cost. ami the goods cost less than you ex pectthat's triumph enough.

Now, there is only one side to each company street. Tlnco tents are placed light to gether, back to fiont, and the rear ends of the first and second tents make one continued passage way. At present two men sleep In each tent, but It Is proposed In due time. If wo are left hero long enough, to have home new fangled healing apparatus placed in tin middle tent, whose occupants will go to the end tents one to the fiont, the other to the tear. This Idea Is new, and, thorofoie, (sub ject tu much advetse criticism, many of the bo s claiming that It Is anv thing but an improvement on the old meth od. As it is now, when the tenants In the tear wish to go 111 oi out they must pass through the other two tents, and In this consists the chief obledionable fcn.utc of tho new Idea However, when the tents, vjlilch are specially do signed for tills peculiar inrangemcnt, shall have been tecelvcd, things may run more smoothly and woik with greater satisfaction.

As If to give an Increase of bright no's ur.d happiness to camp life, the sky has been cloudless all day and tho sun shining with all his force for this time of year. A few Incidentals easily Illustrate the dlffrence In tempera ture between Cnmp Meade and Camp ung. Theie the boys nlvvnvs kept dose to the lire, donned their heaviest clothes and complained continually of the cold, especially in the early pait of the- morning, hero overcoats have fallen In disuse, no complaints arc made about the cold, and today hun dieds of (he bo.vs ate locinlng around without their blouses, drinking In the fresh oh of what Is reckoned to be tha lioalthleFt spot in all Georgia, and on Joying the wnim glow of the "Sunny South."

Thcio is another loason whv this camp Is much in "avot the piesenco of the city of Augusta, which Is an ideal and Uplcal southern city. One of the chief drawbacks of the other camps was their distance fiom cities, or centers of nineteenth contutv ctvl llzitlon, Lebanon was seven or eight miles from ("amp Hastings It took two hours ind cost si-ventv-five cents to loach 'Washington fiom Camp Al gol, and a visit to Hairlsbuig from Camp Meado con neaily the same In time and monej. When a solJinr, who has very little liberty inside ol tamp lines, or, at least, thinks he would like to be freed fiom Its restraints, pe-ts a pass and i njojs a few bouts of complete liberty, tine Is almost as precious to him as money, and ho veiy much dislikes the idea of shailug it up with tallioad and stteet ear companies.
