COKER HAS LANDED. The many friends in Winder of Herbert Coker will learn with much pleasure of his safe arrival from Europe. He left with the 82nd and landed in France about one year ago and was in the Ar gonne forests during all of the hard fighting of our brave and dar ing soldiers. Herbert was one of the fearless ambulance drivers of those per ilous days when our boys were be ing killed by the thousands, and went right in the thick of the fight day afteer day, rescuing the wounded and dying while the shells and machine guns were do ing their deadly work. His many harrowing experien ces give us, who were over here and out of danger, some idea of the horors of this terible war of destruction and should make us fee! grateful it ended as early as it did. He had three ears put out of service by being hit by shells, but he came out unhurt and will be at home today to meet hisfath er and mother, loved ones and friends. Mr. J. R. Coker was a brave confederate soldier and has lived to see Herbert, his youngest son, go through the biggest of all wars and return home safe and sound. This is a happy meeting for fath er, mother and son and Mr. Coker will have to refresh his memory concerning the daring deeds of the sixties or Herbert will have it on him when they compare re cords.
