L. Chadwick. 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.

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.
