THE CHEROKEE ADVANCE
LETTERS fl
SOLDIER ROYS IR
FRANCE.
Sayne, Ger. April 28, 1919.
My Precious Mother:
We have moved to a little
village three kilometers from
the “Rhine” by the name ^ of
“Sayne”—now, we are “In-
Say ne” (see the joke?)
The 32nd Division sailed for
the U. S. A. so we had to take
over a part of the therritory
which they have been occupy
ing.
This little village Sayne,is an
old summer resort, located in
the mountains. It has one or
two beautiful hotels. The
scenery is wonderful. On top
of the mountain over looking
the small town, stands the
walls of an old castle, that was
built in Balalonial days.
The 2nd Division was review
ed by Secretary Daniel April
19, 1919. The best news that
he had for us boys: “You are
going home” (Tout de Suite.)
We have two baseball leag
ues in the Division. The Na
tional and American—Our
team is in the American—We
are leading the league. Won 6
lost 1—Some team, isn’t it?
I am playing first base, so you
know I am happy.
I’ve been in Coblenz for the
past two days enjoying the
ights of the Third Army Car
nival—The horse and motor
shows were grand, also the
aerial acrobatics and aerial
pyratechnegues and radio ex
hibits were just grand. But I
enjoyed the track and field
meet much better.
From all reports we may sail
sometime in July. Here’s hop
ing that we sail before then.
Haven’t heard one word a-
bout my discharge papers.
Well, haven’t arty news that
woukl interest y6u, only been
well and dandy. VL
The box of candy and cigar
ettes were received April 1st,
all O. K., and you can’t ima
gine how much I enjoyed and
appreciated. Words cannot
express my many, many thanks
Write me a long letter as
soon as you can and tell me all
about yourself and home. Do
trust you will not have to
write many more letters, but
that I will soon be baik home
with you, so I can look into
your sweet face and tell you
how much I love you. Not a
day passes that my thoughts
are not with you.
With a heart full of love,
wishes and kisses for you all.
Your devoted son,
Sgt. B. F. Kilby,
Amb. Co., No. 23, 2nd Div.

to Dijon in a few days and am |
glad to get to go for that is a
great place and I want to see
it before I leave, also I want
to go to Cannau before leav-j
ing France for that is the;
greatest place in France, but I!
must say it will have to go;
some to get ahead of Paris for j
that is some place, have been
in there several times and have '
seen some interesting things, 1
but the greatest thing of all is
the Pantha which is a picture
of the war it is about the same
thing as the one at Grant’s
Park, only much larger and
better. Sure wish you could
see this, but guess you would
be like some of the rest could
n’t stand to see some parts .of
it for it is kinder rough espec
ially to see some of them going
over the top and slaughtering
men although that has very lit
tle effect on a soldier that has
been where I have. If some of
the people in the States.had my
experience they wouldn’t take
anything for it, but I am not
proud of it yet, but probably I
am
thankful that I am living and
enjoying good health. No use
for me to try to write you these
things, for it would take a
book. Must quit for tonight
and sleep awhile. Will write
again in a few days.

Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Hensley,
Dear Father and Mother:
Nothing can afford me more will be some time, but I
pleasure than writing you all
a short letter on the first day
of May, it has been a disagree
able day in France, raining
and snowing most all day and
that seems disagreeable for
May.
Haven’t worked any today
so you see I have quite a bit
of time to devote to reading
and writing here of late, also
it gives me some time to study
my French, guess I will drop
it for I have learned to speak
about all the French I care a-
bout, for it will not do me any
good when I leave this country
and I hope to get out of here
before many months pass. Well
I have my same old job, only
there is more to do. We will
have 10 trucks, 4 Fords and 2
Dodges, so you see I will have
my hands full, but the good
part of that I have a Ford and
a Motorcycle for my work, so
that is good, but I am not fool
ish about a Motorcycle for they
are so tricky. Will get a trip
Mrs. Emma Fraser,
Dear Sister:
I will answer your letter that
I received today and was glad
to hear from you. I am all O.
K., and hope you are the same
I was glad to hear that there
was so many of the boys get
ting back home, I wish it was
me, I don’t know when I will
get back, not until peace is
signed I guess, and I don’t
know’ when that will be, it is
raining now, it has been rain
ing for a week or more, every
day. I guess that was a pleas
ure to you, the parade, but that
Here's the way
we look at it

Horse Sense About Tobacco
Good tobacco ought to be like a well-
bred hoss—all th’ kick taken out but
all th’ sperit left in.
You see, half the secret of makin’ a good hoss is
in the breedin’ an’ half in the breakin’. Selectin’
tobacco that’s grown right is only half of makin’
Velvet. The agein’ is the other half.
p
Thar’s only one kind of agein’ that gets th’ right
results—Nature's own. Nature’s no clock
watcher. She does a job right whether it takes
two years or two thousand.
So when she gets through with the fine Kentucky
Burley that we put awav in wooden hogsheads
for two years, it’s just right.
It ain’t been hurried none,
short - cutted. It’s a

At New Bethel Baptist
church Sunday, May the 18th
Elder Marion Wheeler, of Tex
as, delivered a fine logical ser
mon to a large and orderly,
close listening congregation.
The Rev. Mr. Wheeler will be
remembered as an old time
Cherokee boy, who has suc
ceeded out west, and became
one of the leading evangelists
of the country. In the after
noon at the re-organization of
the Sunday scholl, S. M. Hill-
house was elected superintend
ent.
The third Sunday in June
has been set as a day to hold
the memorial services of Lieut,
(or Capt.) Virgil Bell, who
gave his life in the purchase of
Liberty.
Farm work in this section
is- on the late order.
A few days ago it looked as
though every one would have
a fine stand of cotton, but the
cool nights have caused much
of it to die. Very little cotton
has been worked.
The fruit crop around here
will be short, there are a num
ber of fine looking gardens.

The wheat crop looks fairly
well but there is some smut or
blight.
Elder R. S. Saunders, of Mt.

interesting lecture on the pat

Suggestion for a Camping
Trip
Buy a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Colic and Diarrhoe
Remedy before leaving home.
As a rule it cannot be obtained
when on a hunting, fishing or
prospecting trip. Neither can it
be obtained while on board
'the cars or steamships and at
such times and places it is most
j likely ti be needed. The safe
i way is to have it with you.
For a Weak Stomach.
As a general rule all you
teed to do is to adopt a diet
suited to your age and occupa
tion and to keep your bowels
regular. When you feel that
you have eaten too much and
when constipated, take one of
Chamberlain’s Tablets.
About Rheumatism.
People are learning that it
is only a waste of time and
money to take medicine intern
ally for chronic and muscular
rheumatism, and about ninety-
nine out of a hundred cases are
one or the other of these vari
eties. All that is really neces
sary to afford relief is to apply
Chamberlain’s Liniment freely.
Try it. It costs but 35 cents
per bottle. Large size 60 cents.
