Chas. Sehmidlin, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Ambrose Sehmidlin, of
above Buxton, with the 1 62nd Di
vision, writes the Argus from
"Somewhere in France," under
date, of Jan. 29:
"Have just been thinking of
Washington County and my many
friends there and thought probab
ly some of you would like to hear
from some of us .over here. We
crossed the big pond without
trouble, but we were sure glad
when we arrived on this side and
could put our feet on mother
earth, as it felt more solid than
the boat.
We were greatly surprised
when we arrived here at the dif
ference in their railroads and
those at home. Their rolling stock
lu re is about one-half as heavy
is ours. No ears have more than
lour w heels under them, no air
ir.ikes on any of them, and no
healing system on any of the pas
senger trains. When we first
came here there was about 4 in
ches of snow, and I should indue
ibout zero weather. Then it rain-
1 and snow olF and on for 2
weeks, then a warm wind came
mil melted the snow. Since then
we nave hail line weather, espec
ially the past week. The sun has
been shining every day and the
roads are about dried up.
This is a rich looking farming
country ; there are many good
nuking small farms here and the
soil looks productive. Another
iddity they have here is that they
vefv seklom hitch two horses
ibreast when two are used they
hitch one ahead of the other, and
I have seen as many as four lined
up taiulem.
Phis is about all I can write
this time. Send the Argus. I re
