Howard R. Perry, of the Seventeenth United States Rexiujent stationed at Santiago, it is learned that he is well and enjoying himself as well as coald be expected under the circum. stances. He reports no yellow fever in the section where MB regiment is sta­ tioned, the only sickness being a slight indisposition from malaria. .The last date of his letter was July 30th, it having been written at different times for two weeks before, there being no chance to send it, mail facilities in that section being very poor. He also reports that his brother, James A. Perry, who is a memiier of the First Illinois Volunteers,' ho is also near, as being well and all ght. Both regiments expect to return to this country soon. This is the first direct news that has been received from them since before the battle of Santiago. ONLV those who have lived in a small town can realise the power and fascina­ tion of the home paper. It occupies a position that no other publication can fill. Everybody looks through every column to See if his or her "name is in the paper." Kvery bit of gossip is read and discussed. Sometimes it is a birth, sometimes it is a death, sometimes a marriage. No matter what it is, every name mentioned is familiar to all, and for this one reason alone the home paper is above and beyond anything the "liter­ ary fellows" in the cities can prodnse. It doesn't take long to read the home paper, for there isn't much in it, but what is read satisfies the mind in a way that no other paper can. It is like drink­ ing when one is thirsty; it reaches the spot. There is time also to read the advertisements as well as the news. Every business man in every town where a paper is printed should be represented in that paper. If he is not, it is he, and not the publisher, who is loser.--Ex.
