SWORDS. Misesenhiem, Germany. Dear Father and Mother: 1 am writing you a short letter tonight to let you know I am well. We have just received news that peace has been signed. It looks to me as if war has been declared in stead of peace as every gun in the Army of Occupation is firing right this moment. 1 feel like celebrat ing a little myself, but am on guard and can’t satisfy my desire. The signing of peace means an early sailing for me and lots of other boys who have been waiting so long to get back to God’s coun try. My outfit crossed the Rhine last week and we were lying in posi tion on the right bank of the Rhnie for six dav r-cadv to start the advance on Berlin at a mo ments notice if the Germans had refused to sign the peace treaty. The weather was cold and rainy on the Rhine and it was mighty disagreeable with me as I had but one blanket with me. When we learned the peace treaty had been signed we receiv ed orders to move back across the Rhine in the same billets we moved out of . You know I was glad to do this. Well, it is about time to post, my relief so l will close, hoping to hear from you soon. Your Son, Corporal Clyde L. Swords. PROTRACTED MEETING AT CHAPEL.

C., Dear Friend: After leaving home and spend- at Wrightsviile Beach, t fine! myself up in this mountain city. I left home for a rest, hut haven’t had much. Too much push. At Wrightsviile, here and in Ashville, there are more people than can be comfortably cared for. Crowds at meal time rush for dining rooms, sucli a jam you never saw or read of. But the peo ple haven’t travelled much during the war and the whole country is excedingly prosperous, so the folks must get away for a little while and they certainly are doing this. We have been very fortunate in securing nice, good places for lodging and meals. You know what I think every time we leave home? Well it is this; take everything all the way through day by day, year by year, Winder and her dear people are, must I say it? Yes I will. They are the most beautiful and lovable people I ever saw and Winder the greatest city I have ever seen or lived in. I must hurry and come home and see you all. Sincerely, Dr. Geo. DeLaPerriere. 1 DR. WAGES HERE TODAY. Dr. J. T. Wages is here today mixing with his hosts of friends. He and family are now living at Macon, the prospective, but not probable, capital of Georgia, and on this account we thouugfit he might he a little “uppity” to North Georgia folks, but he is the same genial Dr. Wages before moving to Macon. Winder is always glad to greet him and we all regret that he and family are not here instead of Macon. FOR LARGEST AND BEST MELON.
