INTERESTING LETTER FROM
GERMANY.
June 4. 1919.
My Dear Father and Mother:
I received your letter yesterday
and was very glad to hear from
you all.
At present l am doing fine, (lot
out of hospital a few days ago af-
monia, but have' now fully recov
ter having a severe case of pneu
ered. Have just eaten supper at
the Y. M. C. A. mess hall and am
so full I can hardly breathe.
I am on a one-day pass toAnda
nack, and the Y. M. C. A. feeds all
the soldiers on a pass and it costs
us nothing. They also give us boat
rides down the Rhine river.
I did not make the trip today,
however.
You wrote me you had been
chopping my cotton, wish I was
there to assist, but the way things
are looking now don’t know think
I will not be able to get home be
fore July or August.
It looks like a republican con
gress and a democratic president
are not going to agree very much
and I don’t think a disagreement
between the executive and con
gress is the best thing to get the
soldiers home fast. It seems to me
that perfect harmony between
American citizens of every politi
cal fashion is the best policy at
present differences between our
own people at home greatly weak
ens American power at the peace
table.
Don’t worry about me as I am
getting on alright, l am homesick,
it is true, but who wouldn’t be?
lam very proud of the step
that I took in the early stage of
the w'ar. I speak of my enlistment,
and believe that you too are satis
fied with my conduct. At the time
of my enlistment I know you
thought I was doing wrong, but
you have changed your mind now.
I have done my duty by the coun
try we both love''and respect and
by the flag that has for almost a
century and a half stood for jus
tice, democracy and equality.
Now that the war is practically
over, I would feel happy if I
could return to the pursuits of
civil life. Hoping you are all well,
l am Your obedient son,
Bryant Me Elroy.
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Williamson
spent Sunday in Athens with Mr.
and Mrs. James Bullock.
Mr. S. P. Smith spent the past
week in Athens.
Mr. Lamar Smith of Atlanta,
spent the past week-end here with
his father.

UNION COUNTY VOTES $60,000
ROAD BONDS
1 1
Blairsville, Ga., June 24. —(Spe-
cial.) —Union county yesterday
voted a $60,000 bond issue for
good roads with practical unani
mity. Seven hundred and fifteen
votes were cast for bonds, and
only 73 against, with two pre
cincts un reported.
The action of Union county,
which has no railroads and has
been sometimes possibly wrongful
ly classed among the more back
ward counties of the state, in vot
ing so overwhelmingly for good
roads, is probably the strongest
proof that has yet been afforded
of the strength of the enthusiasm
for highway improvement that is
sweeping over the state.
The government will match the
county’s $60,000 with an equal
amount, and, as the county is not
large, it is believed that a good
system of permanent, graded
roads can he built with the sum
thus secured.
