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, . Lieut. Henry G. Banister Somewhere in France, i Dear Kate: Received your letters of July 30, August 8, 12 and 20th this week. Was so glad to near from home. Sorry to hear of Mattie’s death It will be sad news for Ben. I intended to write .oil last Sunday but went to town. 1 guess ihe >oys yo uwrote me who are on the front thinks there is war sure enough I have been in 175 miles 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. Guess Claude'E will be over right away. What Reg is he in?. Went down and took dinner with Jesse Hall today. We went to town this after noon. Had a nice time. We are three miles apart Kate, wish you could see my French girl. Oh, she is a rose. I am doing line, haven I beeen sick a day since l left home. Think 1 will be at home in lime to see that the crop is well finished next year. Will close with much love. Your bro., Roy Neese Wingo. Somewhere in France. 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 had mailed it. and 1 also received one lrom Ada and Daisy last week and was glad to hear from all of you. 1 haven’t seen any of the boys yet but ! heard ihat Morgan was somewhere close to me 1 hope I will get to see him some of these days. 1 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? What did they do with Clinton? Did they pass hint allright? I guess like they do all. I will close for this time.

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. LAND SALE.
