Editor, Advance;-- Wliat acontrast this evening to that of yesterday, yesterday a city teaming with life, a white city, with bell-shap- ed'tents, but this evening though the soldiers' are still here, the tents have almost disappeared owing to the orders of the Minister of Militia that we have to leave our pleasant environment and go forth, like the Israelites of old, into the wilderness. Our boys are treated kindly and courteously by the commanding oflic- era; I received to -day my full equip. met:,t, which comprises; A suit of regimentals, a fatigue pair of trousers, three shirts, a suit of underclothes, a nightcap, two pair of blankets, a waterproof sheet, an overccat, a,razor, mug and two brushes, two pair of boots and two pair of socks, a knife, fork and spoon also a water bottle, You will therefore see that although we have the grass for our bed and the sky for our roof, yet our wants are well provided for, If you are real sick there is e hos- pital to go to, and if slightly sick our gonial Major Shaw will prescribe. I must draw this note to a close, will give you a continuation when Borden Camp is reached and until then will say goodbye, Pte, M. R. Beckwith No. 883, Coy A 161st Battalion The 161st left London for Camp Bor- den on Sunday morning. HULLETT i'he ditch which is being dug in the bed of the creek flowing south across the 13th concession of Hullett will soon be finished. When it is completed, land can be drained and will be more productive than in the past. In some places many acres that were as useless as if covered by a lake, wi3l be reclaimed and become valuable farming lands. The farmers will soon be amply repaid for the amounts paid by thetn for the construction of this waterway. The new bridges, which are to be built will add to the general appearance of this locality; and with the straightened roads will help to raise the standard of the farms in this locality. Then all these things will make for Hullett a better reputation than the high one held by it at present.
