Here’s hop ing this will find you all the same and enjoying yourselves to the highest. I am not doing very much now. We have just come back from the front. Was up near—. Guess you have been read ing about the drive in that sector. I saw Hen Tal lant up there but did not get to talk to him any— just spoke to him. He is in some M G Cos. He and a Bryant boy are the only ones I have seen from our county. It is raining here now. We have a lot of rain over here. How is your crop? Guess you are all busy gathering now aren’t you? I’ve just gotten back from the Y. The ladies served chocolate tea and cookies which were highly ap preciated by the boys. We can get, chocolate and tobacco there. There were two men and a lady gave an entertainment at the Y and it sure was interesting. How is all the people over there? I guess they are having a good time as this is a lively time of year. Of course people are very busy too. Tell Charlie I am enjoying myself over here. Would like to be there to go hunting with him, but will be satisfied with hunting Huns un til they are all rounded op. Tell the folks hollo for me, and give them my best wishes. W ;th love as ever, Cliff Creamer. Somewhere in Fran -.e. Dear mother and all: Will try to write you a few lines to let you hear from me. I am well and feel ing fine. 1 hope and trust these f w lines will find you all the same. Mama, I am getting as fat as a pig. I weigh more now than I ever did, so you see I am getting plenty to eat and you can buy cigar ettes and tobacco over here for about half of the cost over there. Believe me they sure do have strange ways over here. All their wagons just have two wheels & they hitch one horse in front of the other, and most all the people wear wood en shoes. Say, mama, 1 will give you some idea of where I am at. 1 am at a small town called 1 e loche Ideated nin* miles frorri Lemans, so you can take a map and get some idea if where I am. So With love and best wishes to one and all I will close for this time. As ever your loving son, Millard Williams. Somewhere iin France. Dear father and all: Will write you all a few lines this afternoon. How are you all getting a long by this time? Sure hope you all are well. 1 am well and enjoying life fine. 1 never felt bet ter in all my life. 1 haven’t been the least bit sick since I landed in England. I have’t got much news to write. I haven’t been anywhere since 1 got here only around the camp. 1 went down to town on a pass once. We are in about a mile of town.. There w.-.s one thing that happened n my way over here that 1 haven t told you about. The ship was torpedoed hut not anybody hurt. Ihe got off on the submarine chasers and everybody landed safe. It was hustling times on that old boat for awhile. We went down the ropes on to those chasers like a martin going to his guord. This happened the 7th of September. 1 guess you read it in the paper. 1 thought once 1 wouldn’t write anything about it, hut I decided 1 would tell you all about it. The ship did not sink. It run on to land allright and we got our equipment last week. Every man got off wi th just what he had on. I happened to have on a full suit and I fared fine. I have plenty of good clothes. I have a wool sweater and wool underwear and plenty of wool .ar in n socks. You saw my overcoat before I left (’amp Gordon. So 1 think 1 am fixed up in number 1 shape for winter. I don't know how long 1 will stay here. A good while l guess. 1 hey are begin ning to put us to work a little along now. Well. Avery said tell the family hello for him. He and 1 are still together. We sleep side by side every night. Jessie J Martin is still with us too. 1 believe army life is good for him. He reads his testament every day. He don't seem like the same boy. I’ll stop for this time and write again soon. ! ell ev erybody hello for me and tell them to write me. Good-bye. Love to all <J as - A. Milford. Somewhere in France. Dear homefolks: Will write you all a few lines to let you know I am all o k and hope this will find you all the same. I guess that you all went to Holbrooks to day did you not? 1 sure would like to have been there to day or any other day but some day before long I will be there 1 don’t think I will miss but one. Say, was Glenn up there . 1 would like to see him. I think I could tell him lots of things that he don’t know. I am sure if 1 could see him he would stay where he is for he is in a good place and that other place he is talking a bout going is not so good as he thinks it is. lon tell him not to do like I did. He is too young to work at that. He can waitanother year or two be fore he Is oid enough to work at that. Say did you all go to Friendship any this week? I . uess that fodder is about ready to pull now is it not? How does cotton look by now Has that forward cotton planted begin to open yet? I don’t guess it has. I guess that I will get back home in time to pick some of the ‘cracked’ cotton if you don’t get done before Xmas, for I w ill be at home by that time. Say, has Roscoe II gone to the camps yet, or is he still driving that Inter-State. Give my love to all the folks back there. Say, you have read of three years in Arkansas I think it was here for I know I have seen some of the pictures over here that was in that book. J will close for this time. Hop ing to hear from you all soon. Yur son, Abner C. Tallant. Somewhere in France. Dear homefolks: How are you all? I am all o k, and hope you all are the same. I guess you all are at work. I am just laying around for today for it is Sunday and all w r e do is just lay around I have never felt better in my life than I do now Old Russ is as big as a mule. He and I are still together. Cues we will stay together and hope to come back home soon. We are allright so you all need not worry about us. You all have a fine din ner Xmas day for me for I’ll be there. We have not got any mail yet but guess it got mixed up. I haven’t much time to write before dinner. I am sending Orene anti Ada some cards. How is Char lie and Hack and Hoke? Has Charlie got to go ing to see the girls yet, ha ha? Well, 1 guess my dogs are as big as old Bell by this time. Us boys sure do have a big time, for I can’t hardly write now for they just keep me tickled to death. I’d love to be at home today and ride about some for I am where I can’t ride now. When I get home 1 want to swing that big turner plow. It is dinner so I will close. Arp Spence. Somewhere in France. Dear mother: I now take pleasure in writing you few lines to let you know that I am still well and 1 hope this will find you all the same way. I am sending you and Fannie a souvenier. I bought them last night. They cost both together 5 francs which is eqpal to about 85 or 90 cents in America money. They are no much but they were the nic est I could get. We got paid off last night. We got 2 months pay. I may send home some I don’t know yet. If I send any home 1 will write you so you ca nbe looking for it. Don’t worry about me for I am having as good time as any 1 could ex pect, and I want you all to have just as good a time as you can and you tell Sal and Jacob for them not to count out any money for me out of their cotton. I want them to use it all. I believe I will be there to make a cotton crop next year and any of you all use what money I left at home that need it. Guess I hed better dose for this time Don’t wory you and papa, and all the balance t deer up and be in good heart for I am counting on coming back to you all and then we will enjoy life again.

Dear mama and Sis: In answer to yours received last night and of course always glad to hear from you all and to know all were well. It had been sometime since I had heard from you all. 1 reckon Lila don’t write any oftener than she did when I was there, so I wont look for more than 2 or 3 letters a year from her, but it is ill o k so I hear from them and know they are o k. Sorry to hear of Grady’s luck. Hope he wont have to go any further, but I guess he will, and what they told.you about Howard they will forget that when time comes. Hope he will get, to stay with you all. Guess they will both be over here before long. I want to know what Grady’s address is. I knew Grady would have a nice time in Knoxville We are having plenty of rain here now. Guess my Hud knows something of service by now. I want him to make the best of it he can.

There is a lot of sickness in our part yet, but some are bet ter. Kev V K Vaughan failed to attend his appointment at Shel tonville on account of being sick, but hope for him a rpeedy recovery.

We ex tend sympathy to the bereaved Mrs John Day is better at this writing. Mr A J Vaughan sure is get ting a good trade this fall. Jo dy is a hustler anyway. Well, we are still in war with Germany but when the kaiser comes off his throne and clothes himself in sackcloth and set in ashes and repents of the crim es he has done, then the wrath that is against them will be ap peased and not before. So we hope he will soon repent that all this trouble will soon be end ed and that peace will be re stored again. Now we know the Lord has power to subdue na tions so let us continue to call on the Lord to guide us in the way of truth and righteousness and when Germany repents we must forgive them, and we will, though they have caused us a lot of trouble. Wilbur and Rufus Thomas of Coal Mountain visited in our burg a few minutes Sunday af ternoon. They report a lot of flu up there. There was not many at Sun day school Sunday but had a good prayer meeting. The Lord has promised to be with two or three and I think that there was that number present and the presence of the Lord was with us. Sunday school and prayer prayer meeting next Sunday at 2 o’clock. Let all who are in terestd come and take a part with our young men w'hile they are with us for some of them will sopbe-bave to ldave and we may never have tne privil ege of talking or praying with them any more. I fear that the church is like the children of Israel w'as when Moses went up on the mount to receive the table of stone that had the law on them, and wihle he was gone the children of Israel became tired waiting for him for him to come back and they had Aa ron to make them a golden calf to worship, and when Moses came hack they were worship ing an idol.
