In Loving Memory
Of Mrs Harriet Bradford,
who was born Dec. 15, 1847 &
departed this life March 15th,
1919. She was never a mem'/.
of any church, but always done
unto others as she wanted them
to do unto her. She got burned
March 13th, and died the 15th.
On her death bed she said, “I
want you all to meet me in heav
en.” She is gone but not forgot
ten. Our loss is her eternal gain
She is not dead but sleeping,
where none ever wake to weep
A place is vacant that can nev
er be filled. Her mind was bad
for a long time before she died.
She would say a lot of times she
did not have long to stay in this
troublesome world, but thank
God I am prepared to die. Let
us say to her children that are
unprepared to meet her to re
member what her request was.
Oh, what a sweet thought it
would be if all her children can
say, “I am prepared to meet mo
ther.’’ It certainly is sad to sit
around the fireside and her
place vacant but the Lord knew
best and said ‘come up higher'
where pain nor sorrow never
comes. She was always a lov
ing neighbor as long as her
mind was good. She always
went to see the sick and lent a
helping hand. She enjoyed sing
ing and sacred music.
Her remains were laid to
rest at Warsaw church, March
16th, the funeral services be
ing conducted by Rev. Billie
DeVore. She is survived by 3
children and ten grandchildren
and 6 great grand children, a
sister and host of nieces and ne
phews and friends to mourn
her death. We extend sympa
thy to the bereaved family.
She was 72 years and three
months old. Children, weep not
for her for she is better off than
we are. She is sleeping, sweetly
sleeping, in the arms of Jesus.

a friend, Grace Allen, and a
daughter-in-law,
Hattie Bradford.

I will answer your letter 1
received to day, was glad to
hear from you and know that
all was well as usual. Well 1
am well and feeling fine, and
I hope these few lines will
reach you all the same.
Well, Roy, you said you had
seen Carrol Tallant who had
just got back from over here.
I know he is enjoying himself
very much now. So Roy, you
tell him the next time you see
him to be sure to write me for
I would like to hear from him
Roy, the way you wrote me you
are looking for me back in the
States soon. You can tell dad
that I want get back in time to
help make a crop. You also
tell dad when I get paid again
that I will send him some more
money, so I guess he has got
the hundred dollars I sent him
by now.
Well, Roy, the Fifth Division
is one of the Division in the
Army of Occupaton, so I guess
I will be over here six or eight
months or maybe longer. So
if dad wants me back home to
help him work he will have to
put in for one over here, but
there is not any one in the com
pany that knew me before I
went to the camps, so T thought
I would get back in time to
tend a crop for dad but I will
not so I will close for this time
wishing to hear from you again
soon.
Your brother,
Manuel Lewis.

Dear mother: Well, how is ev
erybody at home getting along
I hope you all are well and get
ting along o. k. I am well and
feeling as good as I ever did, o
ver here especially. I have been
feeling fine every day since I
got up after I had the flu. I was
very sick over two weeks while
in hospital. I am now in the con
valescent ward here at ihe hos
pital. There are over 100 boys
in this building all waiting to
go home. We have good beds to
sleep on and plenty of blank
ets, sheets and a pillow. W T e
are as comfortable as can be in
the army. I have fared all kind
of ways since I have been over
here. While I was up in north
ern part of France, 1 have slept
on the ground, on the floor and
have hiked all night long with
out sleeping any. 1 have had a
good time according to the way
the boys in the trenches and
the doughboys who went over
the top, and those who were
captured by the Huns. They
found it pretty tough. I didn’t
get in the fighting much so I
guess I fared fine. We got plen
ty to eat. I never got hungry
.since I left the front where we
couldn’t get plenty to eat. At
times we have beef stew, cab
bage, pork, beans, corn, cof
fee, tea cakes, pie, pudding,
butter, syrup, jam bread, peas
etc.. 1 have an awful appetite
and I sure do eat. I am eating
almost as much as a horse since
I got well of flu. I guess I will
eat more than ever when I get
back home where I can get hot
biscuit, ham and eggs, chicken
and everything good to eat.
The army feed is allright but
nothing like home. It is a hard
thing for me to do to select a
name for Cliff’s and Carie’s ba
by. Guess they have named it
already. If they haven’t they
may name it Carrie Evelyn, if
they like it. Have they moved
yet? I guess they have. How do
they like their new home? It
looks to me it would be a lone
some place down there.
The 82nd Division is now at
Bordeaux waiting to go the U.
S. A. soon. I won’t get to join
my Cos. and go home with the
Georgia boys, but I may get
there at Camp Gordon by the
time they do. I sure do hope so.
I’ll probably leave here soon.
It 1 mk I will be in the IJ. S. by
June or probably sooner. I will
write you again soon. I haven’t
'•eceived any mail for the last
few days. Love and good luck
to all. Your son,
Heard Orr.

GEORGIA MAN
HAD QUITE A SIEGE
In Hospital, But Improved Greatly After
Taking Zlron Iron Tonic.
In a recent statement, J. H. Martin
of Mount Vernon, Ga., says:
“I was In the hospital with stomach
troublo gnd had quite a siege. It
seemed I would never get my strength
back after I came out, I had been so
111. I ached all over. I was nervous,
restless and yet did not feel like get
ting around. My skin was yellow. My
appetite poor. I was In pretty bad
shape and began to look around for a
tonic. 1 felt like part of the trouble
was lack of iron in my blood. I was
bo easily worried, so easily upset. I
heard of Z.iron and knew It would help
me. I began to take it and the im
provement was great. It strength
ened me, renewed my nerves and
toned up my system.”
When you feel that you need
strength, remember that Zlron is a
perfected preparation of Iron salts,
combined with other strength-giving
Ingredients. Try Zlron.
