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.” Roper—V aughan.

If it is then you do not need any of ficers, court houses or jails. You must not put any restraints on us at all. You must not ask us to our roads ment, but iTra the idea ot * great many people just at pres ent if they really mean what they say. Do not forget to meet at the court house next Saturday af ernoon to help complete the ar rangements for our school fair You come and have a say inthe kind of fair we shall hatfe. Last Friday morning Mr. John 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. “Boys are in Barracks here from three states and my com fort bag and its contents are far superior to any thing yet pro duced.” The above was written by one of our Forsyth county boys who left for Camp Gordon last | week.
