It is Bill, but not Kaiser Bill.
If you pay your bill then I
can pay Bill the bill I owe him;
but if you don’t pay your bill I

CUMMING, GA., NOVEMBER 22ND, 1918.
To the People of Forsyth Cos.:
Those who subscribed for
Bonds will find them at the
Banks, and those who subscrib
ed for stamps will find them
at the post office or may ob
tain them from the R. F. D. Car
riers.
The government expects ev
ery one to redeem their pledge
and where possible to increase
their investment in stamps
and bonds. Each county is ex
pected to take their full qou
ta. While the time has expired
for Bonds of the 4th Liberty
Loan you may still obtain 'em
from the banks who have car
ried them uuntil now for you.
We have the remainder of
this year to take our full quo
ta of War Savings Stamps and
there is more than fifty thous
and dollars yet unsubscribed.
Our allies in Europe have ex
hausted their means in war,
and if they buy our cotton and
other farm products at a high
price they will have to borrow
the money and our govern
ment will have to lend it to
them if they get it, and if we
are unwilling to lend our mon
ey to our government we shall
find we have not only failed to
he as patriotic as we should,
but that we have failed to act
in our own interest.
I trust that every one in the
county will invest to their full
ability in government stamps
and bonds.
Resepectfully,
S. H. Allen, Chm.
Gin Not '■e.
After this week we will on
ly gin on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday of each week.

FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANK,
Somewhere in Franco.
To my loving sister and fami
ly: I will write you all a few
lines this beautiful Sunday
morning. This leaves me w r ell
and hope these few lines will
dome safe to hand and find
you all the same. I would sure
like to be over there jto day.
We would have a big time. Did
you all go to Salem to meeting
any? I would like to have been
over there to go as I think it
would do me good to go to
meeting once more. The meet
ing over her is getting scarce.
We don’t have time to do any
thing. We are just going some
where all the time from place
to place. I used to love to ram
ble around, but I think if I ev
er live to get through this I’ll
be done with my knocking a
bout for awhile. I guess it is
hot weather over there now.
You know how hot it is over
there in the summer time. It |
is just about as cold over her*:
as it is hot over there. I guess it
will be sure cold here when
it comes winter time. It is very
hot here during June, July and
August and part of Sept, but
will be bad after that. The
people over here says that it
is bad in winter. You know a-i
bout how cold it is over there
by the fire and you can imag
ine how it will be here for a
fellow who is out most all the
time. I think I can stand as
much of it as anybody else, &
that is all anybody can do. I
got your letter the other day.
One from mother, one from Ra
burn and Emma and one from
aunt Avie Crane. They were all
well and getting along fine. A
manda, do you all get my mail
I write you all about every
week and I get a letter about
every two months, but it takes
a long time for a letter to get
over here, and it takes just as
long or longer for one to come
back. It was just exactly thirty
days from the time you mailed
that letter until I got it. See if
you can’t write me every week
It will be a month before I get
it So I will write every time I
can and vou do the same for 1
like to hear from you all any
old time. Tell Mr. Biddy that
I would like to see him and
for him to write me. What is
old Fletcher doing these times
I have written seven letters
since last night and am get
ting tired, so I can’t think of
any more tonight. With love
and best wishes to all. W rite
soon. Your brother,
Oscar Crane.
My dear cousin: I will answer
your letter to day. I was glad
75c. Per Year.
to hear from you. This leaves
me fine and dandy this time &
hope this will find you enjoy
ing the best of health. Yes. I
have received four or five let
ters from you and I have an*
swered every one, but can’t
tell why they have not reach
ed you. I will try again. It
makes me feel good to get a
! letter from you and around old
Brandywine. I got five letters
from Alpharetta route in one
'day. You know I felt good. I
will send you my picture when
I have some made, the first
chance I get. It is against the
rules to send them from this
country. You can send some to
me but I will try it sometime.
I would like to have some from
old Brandywine. I can not
think of anything to write this
time, so I will not write much.
I can not tell much of what is
going on over here. Tell Shir
j ley there are a lot of little girls
here but I can’t talk to them
like I could her. I am sending
aunt Effie the stars and stipes
I have sent 3 copies to her and
will send one this week. Tell
Polly to look out for it is war
times now and they may have
to go to the camps. She must
i write me and tell all of her
good news. I have almost for
gotten how to talk to an Amer
ican girl, so I will have to
learn again, but that wont be
hard to do when I get a chance
Tell uncle Bob that I have plen
ty of Brown mule tobacco to
chew and I would like to get in
that hay stack one more time.
Tell everybody hello for me.
I will ring off hoping to hear
from you soon and the rest.
Take my love and bye bye.
Roy S. Terry.
Dear father and mother. Will
write all to let you know that
I am well and hope you are all
the same. I am having a very
good time. Guess you haven’t
heard f:*om me lately, but I
have not got any mail from you
all. 1 have been doin gfine so
far and I hope to on, and guess
you read the paper and you
can tell and I hope to be back
sometime. You tell Mildred &
Ilillyer that I would like to see
them and all the rest of them.
We are separated. Nearly all
the rest of the boys, Mather
Smith and Tumlin and myself
are still together and I don’t
know where the rest are. tho’
somewhere in France I guess. I
will close for this time. An
swer soon and do not forget
where I am at Good bye to all
and tell everybody that I know
to write to me.
Richard Wallis.
