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.

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.
