Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Harris
Entertained the Soldier Boys.
I ’
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Harris
entertained informally at din
ner last Wednesday at midday
in honor of the first five select
men chosen from Forsyth coun
ty. The house wa3 prettily dec
orated with flags. The center
piece for the dining table was
a large bowl of autumn flow
,ers displaying the national col
ors.
After dinner the table was
cleared and the boys were pre
sented with their comfort bags
which they opened amid mucfi
merriment. They voted each
article most useful, and were
loud in ftieir praises of the wo
| men whose time and thought
have already gladdened their
hearts.
|. The following young men
' were present: Messrs. Mark
and Frank Hulsey, Harris
Moore, Roscoe Echols and John
Pruitt.
It is a little remarkable that
these boys were eager to go,
had begged, in fact, that they
might be the first to leave, so
1 anxious were they to have a
part in crushing down a great
wrong and thus bringing peace
tp a now' suffering world.
As they left the hostess gave
them this parting thought tak
en from the lips of a very wise
mother, “If one boy comes
back in safety, we shall never
cease to be thankful. If our
boy falls in the battle he will
fall in the line of duty to his
country, and he could not meet
death more gloriously.”

A wedding*of much interest
to the many friends of both the

ed by Rev. J. M. Anderson in

es and friends of the bride.
The bride’s wedding gown was
of white silk.
The bride is a daughter of
Mr. and Mrsr C. T. Roper of Cu
ba, while the groom is a son of

What is a free government?
Is it a place where every one

James went to the stable to
catch his mule when for some
reason it became unmanageable
and turned around in the stable
and in so doing it caught Mr.
James against the side of the
stable and mashed him up very
badly. With assistance he got
ito the house and medical aid
was called at once. Drs. Hun
ter and Hasty responded and
did what they could to relieve
his great suffering. For awhile
his life was despaired of but he
has rallied and now has a fight
ing chance for his life. We hope
I that he will be restored to his
wanted health.
Appreciative.

that the bags are appreciated
and so well thought of by the
