Dear Julius: Just a few lines to let'you know I
am in the best of health, and trust that you are]
all well We have just finished supper here and I
guess i!iat you are just finishing your dinner as
you know the timeo ver here is about 7 hours
faster than it is over the seas at homo. The weath
er has been very pleasant over here this summer
ll never gets hot like it does at home. 1 have slept
undr two heavy army blankets all summer. We
have seen lots of the country over here. Have 1
been all through France and England. There isj
nothing here That -reminds one of our country.lPs
so very old and different every way. Although
France is a very beautiful country, afid when
one rides 'hrough her beautiful hills and valleys
he can then see why her people will so readily
give their lives for her. This war has gotten to be
a business with these people and they don’t
show any excitement but just go about it in a
matter-of-fact way. When we first got into the
fighting zone, it looked strange to me to see the
i,ld men and w omen working in their hay fields
tnd garden while the big guns were roaring and
shells were bursting all around. The French are
oi; courteous people and they think lots of the
Americans. I have seen quite a little of the war.
We were with the Americans who did a big part
of that fighting through the t’hateua Thierry
section. Our organization (the one I am with)
built bridges across the river Oise and Vesle far
die soldiers and artillery to cross over. One can
read all about these things but he can’t know
what it is like until he once gets into it, and be
lieve me the Americans go ‘over the top’ as cool
and with as steady a nerve, as any of them do.
W hen one sees what those brute Germans have
done to France and her people, he just naturally
wants to get to them. All the horrible black
crimes that you have ever heard of of them doing
is true and then some Because we have seen with
our cues lots and lots of hellish things that they
have clone. When one sees a poor little boy or a
girl who has had a leg or hand cut off, or an eye
punched out by these hell hounds, if there is any
man in him he- wants to revenge these barbarous
crimes, and, believe me, those Germans arc sure
iy doomed and they will soon be reaping what
they have sown. You " ill be hearing from the
Americans over here all along. You people just
-row the food and send it over and we will do the
rest. Give all of your family my love and write
me often. Your brother, .

Dear Kate: Received your letters of July 30,
August 8, 12 and 20th this week. Was so glad to

of the front, so you see 1 know nothing about the
i’ighting. Ha: Mr. Holbrook heard turn Car! ? 1
hop- he got over allright. Has the new draft
ra ight ai.y of the 18 year old boys? Hope >t does
not gel any of them. The war is going fine now. I
toll you l aHe Sam is walking through. They are
giving the Germans h— from who laid the rails.

Dear mother: 1 will write you a fe wlines this af
ternoon to let you know that 1 am well and hav
ing a good time and l hope that you all are well.
1 received your letter one day last w'eek. I have
written vou a letter when I got vour letter but 1

! heard ihat Morgan was somewhere close to me

have not heard from Cliff .1 don’t know where
lie is, and you can tell Mr. Mangum that 1 have
not seen Hoke for sometime but 1 am glad that
in' has heard from him. What have they dons
with Steve James,or have they done anything?

hint allright? I guess like they do all. I will close

HAW CREEK.
We are sure having some old]
east weather now and a lot of
influenza in our part.
Mr Frank Day and little son
have the flu. Mr Raleigh Ech
ols has some new case3. J W
Thomas, wife and little son
has the flu. Some are better
with the flu.
Mr John Day has been real
sick with neuralgia, but is bet
ter.
Rev J W Thomas attended
Sunday school at Corinth Sun
day and preached at Corinth
at night. They are still hold
ing on to their Sunday school
and prayer meeting there and
I that is the way to have a good
church is for the members to
be faithful and do their part.
The Sunday school at this
place is still going on but we
. have left oIT the prayer meet
ing which ought to be carried
on for a good prayer meeting
] is the life of a church. While
the prayer meeting was car
' ried on here there was a good
I interest manifested. We ought
to be more interested than we
] are but it seems that the most
of our people think that their
preacher can come once every
month and preach for them &
that is all we need. So we ex
■ pect the preacher to do it all
and let us do nothing. That is
.just about the wa ythe most
of our church members are,-
waiting for the preacher to do
all that is done. The preacher
will do his part but the mem
bers must do theirs, or else
your part will be left undone.
For the preachers part is to
1 preach the word and the chur
ch’s part to hear and then do
] what the word tells you to do.
It seems today that there is
more expected of the preacher
than ever before. Why is this?
Just because of spiritual lazi
ness of the members that are
not willing to help their preach
1 er and he can’t do all the work
] of the church. He can only do
'his part and then the members
must do theirs, and then you
will see the church prosper &
grow. Without a co-operation
of the preacher and. church no
saoda’es; to come, so let us all
’ examine our own hearts and
see if they are right and if so
all will work smoothly. Let us
i(‘member that the Lord is not
*l- e author ot confusion but of
, ;re as in all churches of the
saints. Let us all study to do
our own part and do what the
spirit teaches us to do or try to
do our part in the church. Let
us all come out next Sunday eve
rang and start our prayer mee
ting again. There is a good
stove and plenty of wood to
make a fire. So there is nothing
to hinder us from carrying on a
good Sunday school and prayer
meeting all the winter except
old satun and surely we can put
him down long enough to serve
the Lord, if not there is not
much of the grace of God in
our hearts. Let us try and see
what we can do next Sunday
evening at 2 o’clock. Rev J W
Thomas will conduct prayer
service here at 3 o’clock. Let
all who love the cause come
and see what we can do.

7 o My Friends and Customers:
I have on hand three carloads of baggies bought before the

advantage of this purchase.

First. They are the best buggy on earth. Just ask any
person that has ever used one of them.
Second. Because they will be 10 to 2d dollars higher
