We have been having some
fine weather here, but the last
day or two has been rainy and
just a little cold. I think when
this change is over spring will
be here in earnest, for the trees
are full of new leaves and the
cherry trees are in blossom also.
France is full of fruit trees, es
pecially apples, grapes, eherries,
peaches, walnuts , pears, etc.,
and fruit is cheap here. I eat
apples almost every day. Dates
are also plentiful, as well as figs.
All the French people are go
ing to Church today—Easter—
and the bells are ringing all over
the country. You know all the
cathedrals have large bells; I
love to hear them ring.
Remember, mother, that I
love you and think of you every
day, and will return to you and
father just as soon as I can.
smooth, easy flowing language
and I am told, isn’t very hard to
learn, even if it is a Latin lan

There isn’t much news to
write tonight, but you will hear
from me again soon. Will write
to you regularly so thre will be
letters in the mail every two or
three days for you. Remember
I love you and think of you each
and every day, and am coming
home to you just as soon as the
war is over. I have not forgot
ten that you taught me to be a
man, and there is never a day-
that passes but that 1 ask our
God to keep and protect
both until 1 can return to

Stars and Stipes will never know the

When I come home I want us to
go fishing down at the mouth of
Crowel’s Spring Branch, and pull
some'of those large blue cats and
three-pound suckers, as well as a big
fat trout or two. Wouldn’t it be fine
though? Keep the place baited!
I wish for you, on this your birth-
bay, much happiness and continued
good health. Before your next birth
day I expect to be there with you.
Write to me when you can, Father,
and remember I am thinking of you
and mother.-
Sunday, March 10th, 1918.
My dear Mother:
How are you this beautiful
Sunday norning? I hope you,
father and all are well. I am
enjoying the very best of health
and everything is all light.
Mother, how is the weather at
home now ? I know Georgia has
had some unusually cold weath
er for the past two months or
more, and I am. wondering if it
has warmed up vey much yet.
We are having some very fine,
springlike weather here; clear
skies, nowind and a lot of bright
sunshine. The trees are begin
ning to bud and the little birds
have been singing—so you see
there is a sign of spring.
Sunday, March 31, 1918.
Dear Father:
Easter has come and it is a
beautiful day, at last. Early
this morning it was cloudy and
I looked for a rainy day but it
has since cleared up and it is
also warmer—so we are going
to have a beautiful afternoon.
Father, spring is here and ev
erything is very pretty. France
is full of fruit trees; apple, pear
peach, cherry, walnut, with
grape vines everywhere you
look, even on the walls of build
ings, stores, etc., where they
have been trellised up. The
French have in a big crop of
wheat, and Irish potatoes grow
in great abundance. Wish you
could come over and see some of
the farms here. They are just
like big gardens, with even the
yards, terraces, etc., planted in
something. Nothing is wasted
—not even a foot of space.
Thursday April 4, 1918.
Dear Sister Julia:
Winter has about gone here,
for the trees are full of pretty
green leaves and the sun is shin
ing again; with the little birds
singing. I am glad, too, for I
have grown tired of the winter.
The climate here isn’t so bad,
and the French people who live
here tell me that the summers
iare fine—good and warm like
our summers in Georgia. We
[have had a great many pretty
I warm days already and now that
| the Easter cool weather has
come and gone I look for Spring
in earnest.
This is a beautiful country,
with every farm in a high state
of cultivation—just like a big
garden, and lots of fruit of oil
kinds, Irish potatoes, oats,
wheat, rye, etc., and the pret-
ttiest cows I have ever seen. I
would send some post cards
showing the builings, etc., but
you know this is one thing re
stricted by the censorship rules.
I will bring some home with me
when I come.
I must now go out to my
French leson, but will write
again soon. Write often and
give me all the news from home.
Sunday April 7, 1918.
Dearest Mother:
I suppose you are reading the
daily papers now and know all
about what is happening in the
war of war news. Suppose all
of the Panhandle boys will soon
be getting a taste of camp life;
well, it will do them good—make
bigger and better men out of
them.
Mother, I have had the oppor
tunity to make the acquaintance
of some good people among the
French here and a few nights
ago went to the home of a Major
in the French army and had a
very nice time, indeed. The
father and son are in the army,
of course, and at home is the
mother and two daughters. One
of the girls can speak English
and I can speak a little French,
so we managed to pass a very
pleasant evening. The mother
has invited me to come back to
her home when 1 can, and they
have offered to teach me to
speak French. Alll French peo
pie admire the Americans, and
appreciate the timely aid being
rendered by our Govmment.
Thursday April 4, 1918.
Dear Mother:
Am studying French and have
been to my class tonight. I
think I will like it when I leam
enough to speak it fluently with
Wednesday April 24, 1918.
My dear Mother:
We have been having quite a
few days of rainy, cool, disagree
adle weather, but it is getting
somewhat warmer now and I
am going to enjoy spring when
it gets here in earnest. On
Monday evening I went out for
a long ride on a bicycle and en
joyed it very much. Mother,
the roads in France are very
good—wide and just as hard as
the floor. You can ride awheel
miles and miles in one day as
the roads are so good and al
most perfectly level, being well
graded. The country is very
thickly settled and when going
from place to place, it is like
passing through small towns.
The people are somewhat differ
ent from the people in our
Southern states—and I think
they are rather quaint. I saw
many elderly ladies with little
white lace caps standing in the
doors as I passed along the road.
The houses are, invariably, built
of stone, cemnt or brilk and
most of thm are very old. The
people live in an old-fashioned
way in the country dicstricts—
the same way, I imagine,they
have been living here for hun
dreds of yars. The cities have
more modem improvements and
the people are veiy fashionable,
and proud, though democratic.
Mr. Lawson is all right; I see
him nearly every day. I don’t
think I have told you, mother,
but I no longer belong to the
Suply Company, but to Quarter-
piaster Department, Quarter
master Corps, and my address
appears in full at the head of
this letter. Send all mail from
this time on, until I notify you
further, to this address.
Thursday April 25, 1918.
My dear Father:
I havn’t forgotten, father,
that this is your eighty-second
birthday, and were I in the Stat
es, I would most certainly take
dinner with you—and have a
long talk about everything.
But just now, you know, it is
necessary for the young men of
America to be away from their
homes on the most sacred duty
that of upholding the country’s
honor and to keep our rights
from being trampled upon by
the savage Bochs. Were you.
here, father, and could learn of the
terrible and inhuman crimes com
mitted upon innocent women and lit
tle children, as well as old men who
are helpless on account of age, I am
sure that my absence from home
would not be felt nearly so keenly as
it must now when you need me most.
Of one thing, though, you and moth
er may rest assured, I am coming
back to you—and when we return to
dear old America, old Glory will
have accomplished her purpose and
the French people. It is a be waving triumphantly! The
April 29, 1918.
|My dear Father:
I am well and doing nicely,
i Have had very good health since
| coming to France and shall try
jto keep week I wish it were
possible for me to be there with
you and mother, but I am in the
army servng my government in
its hour of need; also, I felt it
my duty to offer my sendees and
am doing what I can to further
our cause. We are going to
whip Germany before we listen
any of their talk and when the
peace talk comes, it will be an
unconditional surrender on
Germany’s hide. The Stars and
Stripes cannot be trampled upon
and Germany must poy for
slaughtering those innocent wo
men and children. I would be
so happy to be able to return to
you and mother now, but I know
you both would not have it oth
erwise than it is. It is every
man’s duty, and a special privi
lege, to support our cause, which
is that of right and justice.
The United States and her brave
allies are sollidly together and
the Boche must pay for his
crimes. Don’t wory about me,
father, for I am going to live
such a life and serve my govern
ment in such a manner as to
cause you and mother no wory.
I am coming to you just as
soon as I can and I want you to
try to get well and keep well for
me. -

My dear Mother:
Today has been lovely here
and I have enjoyed it very much.
The sun has been shining and
sky almost cloudless just the
kind we have in dear old Geor
gia.
Expect another letter from
you tomorrow. Am anxious to
hear from father, and from you.
Mail has been rather slow in com
ing in for the last two or three
weeks.
Mother, I received a nice pres
ent from a young lady friend in
Mississippi a few days ago. The
box contained handkerchiefs,
soap, shaving soap, tooth paste,
cold cream, papers, magazines,
salted peanuts, chocolates, can
dy, cigarretts, etc.
Recently received a nice letter
from Mr. J. G. Hicks, post mas
ter at Reynolds. He said he
felt like he wanted to write to
me and to say that my letters
written to you and father are
going home aU right and that he
knew you both loved to hear
from me. I have written to
him in reply.
Write me as often as you can.
and tell me how everything is
getting along at home, . and if
you and father are well. I
think of you each day and love
you. Your son,

It is with a sad and broken
heart that I try to write of my de
parted sister-in-law, Mrs. Minnie
Loyd. She departed this life May
10, 1918, making her stay
here thirty-three years and eight
days. Oh, it is so hard to give
her up! She joined the Methodist
church in her girlhood days and
was ever a faithful member. She
was loved by all who knew her,
and was always ready with a wil
ling hand to help all in need of
assistance. She leaves a devoted
husband and six little ones, be
sides her parents, three sisters
and five brothers. May God bless
the bereaved family.
Weep not as those who have no
hope, for it was God’s will to call
her home. Oh, dear Minnie, how r
we will miss you, but we hope to
see you in that home not made by
hands.
She was laid to rest in Blood-
worth cemetery May 11th at 12
o’elock.
May the Lord help us to be
ready at His coming and bless
those she left behind.

her, MRS. MATH ROGERS,
