Jeff Nrabern Writes
l
From Somewhere In France
Oct. 24. 1917.
“Dear Alph: I have just finished
an examination, and, though I have
plenty of work I should be doing, I
am going to write you a short note.
“I have been ‘over here’ over a
month now. Made the trip fine, was
seasick only once. We saw no sub
marines—still during the days we
were in the midst of the submarine
zone, there was a sort of restless feel
ing aboard our boat. *
“I passed, by rail, over about' two
hundred miles of England. The part
I passed through must have been typ
cial —all along it reminded me of the
descriptions of English rural homes
that I have read.
“ ‘Over here’ I have traveled only
about 400 miles. However, I have
passed through some exceedingly in
teresting country. The aged appear
ance of things is one of the most
striking features. The roads, lined
with set-out trees that appear to be
centuries old, bespeak so forcefully
the country’s age.
“I have not been to Paris. I was
at another town, though, about the
size of your Macon last Sunday. In
it I went through a cathedral that
was built in 1262.
“I have had the privilege of pass
ing over a portion of the ground oc
cupied by the Germans during their
big drive into France in the early
part of the war. In this section battle
scars are everywhere. Too, the signs
of Germany’s policy of ruthless des
truction are still visible.
“Of course the rules of censorship
limit me in what I say. There is en
ough, though, that I could say to fill
dozens of pages if I just had the time
to write. But as I am kept very busy
suffice it to say that I am well, very
comfortably situated, satisfactorily
fed and am finding very
interesting. Should I be fortunate
enough to ‘live to tell the tale,’ my
coming over will be a tremous exper
ience for me.
“However, if less fortunate, I shall
have no kick coming, for in the pres
ent tern-up condition of world affairs
thousands must make the great sac
rifice. If my topping over can con
rtibute to the bringing of normal con
ditions, I am ready to kick. I have
increased my insurance to $15000.00
arxi have my affairs arranged so that
my dropping off can not bring fin
ancial inconvenience to any one.
“So far I have not been assigned
to an organization. Instead, I am in
the heavy artillery school. I vrey
probably will not take a position for
some two months yet—however, ore
never knows just what orders ars
coming.
“One of my chief reasons for wish
ing to write you is to get you to
write me concerning ‘the people.’
“How is Aunt Tempie? Is Uncle
Dan still living? If so, remember
me to him. How are Aunt Mary
Lott and Counsins Alton and Mamie?
“Tell me what men from that vicin
ity (especially any that I know) have
been called into the armv?
er’s boy—Cleon ? Is he in the army—
if so, what branch? And just a bunch
of other things.
“You see, when a fellow gets over
here, where a different language is
spoken—unfortunately one he very
poorly understands—and gets letters
from America, in batches, only about
once in two weeks, any home news is
interesting.”
A SURPRISE WEDDING
On Thursday afternoon at three
thirty, Miss Rosalie Smith and Mr.
C. W. Wooten, of Broxton, came over
and were quietly married by Rev.
R. A. Brown, at the residence of Mrs.
J. M. Ashley, where the minister is
stopping luring his Revival at the
Presbyterian church.
It seems that the minister was the
former pastor of the bride, in Way
cross some years ago, and learning
that he was in Douglas, they prompt
ly sought him to perform the cere
mony.
The groom is a brother of Mr.
Wooten of the Citizens Bank, and the
bride a sister of Mrs. Wooten, who
was Miss Smith of Broxton.
ANOTHER TREAT FOR
THE WOMAN’S CLUB
A crowded club room testified to
Mrs. Black’s popularity, on Wednes
day afternoon when she spoke to the
women of Douglas at the Club House.
Mrs. Black’s simple and eloquent
style has endeared her to every wo
man who knows her, and her sweet
personal talk Wednesday has made
her friends here more devoted, if
possible. Everybody loves Mrs. Black
but especially South Georgia.
WOMAN’S CLUB
Don’t forget the next meeting of
your club will be next Thursday, at
the Club House.
The report from the delegate from
the Convention will be heard also
splendid program and everybody re
quested to be present.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
There will be a meeting of Execu
tive Committee of Smyrna Associa
tion, Monday, December 3rd, at 12
o’clock sharp, at First Baptist church,
Douglas. Ladies of First Baptsist
church will serve a complimentary
dinner to members of the committee.
A full attendance is desired and ex
pected. Important business to be
transacted. T. S. Hubert, Chm’n.
