JOHN GIBBONS, JR., WRITES.

  John Gibbons, proprietor of the New Bolton house, has received word from 
his nephew in the coast artillery service overseas in which he says he has 
lots to eat, lots to hear and lots to see.  He is so accustomed to the 
incessant rumbling of big guns that he never minds them.  John, jr., who 
writes the letter, has a brother also in the overseas service, he being in 
company G, 110th regiment, as a corporal under Sergeant Smith, of Newburg, 
who was reported wounded in the recent allied drive.
