A long Interesting letter has been
again received from William Rafter,
of the Eighteenth United States In
fantry, now stationed at Samar, Phil

places among Uncle Sam's recent ac
quisitions.
Mr. Rafter is well known In this city,
and with tho writer was for many
years affiliated with Company B of the
old Thirteenth regiment.
His experience as a news writer on
several of tho Scrantou daily papers
gave him the necessary training to
compose a newsy and interesting letter
on the results of his observations In
the land of Aguinnldo and the swarthy
Tttgal.
His last letter is mostly of a per
sonal nature, as he states that life Is
too short and uncertain just at pres
ent, where he is located, to do any ex
tensive letter writing, but promises in
the near future to send a Ions story
especially for publication, as that is
the only way he can hope to satisfy his
many friends who send papers, stamps,
etc., nnd who would of course like to
hear from him personally.
Maennerchor to Aid the Boers.
A large delegation of residents from

This marks another period in the ra
pid advancement of this famous sing
ing society, in which tho residents of
this section take a pardonable pride,
and that the good will of the people is
appreciated by the society is shown In
their ever-ready willingness to partici
pate in nny charitable or worthy cause.
Although nearly two years off, there Is
reason to believe that the society will
take part in the next national saen

they will win their heart's desire the
