A PATRIOTIC GIRL
A girl writes to me from Manor,
Ga„ as follows. “Y r ou would hardly
know me, Uncle Jim, ns I am a big
ore now. I am 17 years old, and
weigh 13f> pounds. One of my broth
ers is over in France, and I am the
oldest child at home. My father is
fifty-five years of age, and is by no
means an invalid. 1 have two broth
ers, twins, fifteen years of age, to
help on the farm, so, you see we can
get along without William while he
goes to help Uncle Sam. He was
only 19 when he enlisted and went as
i volunteer to Camp Wheeler, where
he was drilled and made ready for the
army. He is now in France, has
'>een sick and wounded once but is
well again. 1 may never see him a
gain, Uncle Jim, but I would rather
now he was where he is, or dead,
nan to have him with me and know
he was a shirker or slacker from his
duty to his country.. Mother died
when 1 was only 12 year sold, Uncle
J im,an she told me while she was sick
before her death, that she wanted ue
io looked after he! - twin babies, War
ren and Charles, and I have tried to
be a good sister to them, Uncle Jim.
Neither cf them has ever tasted whis
key, learned to use tobacco, or use
vulgar or profane language, but you
ir:st think they are sissies, for they
fte not. They both are anxious to go
o the army and say they will, when
hey are a little older, and 1 think
hey will. I am very busy all the
:ime, rooking, mending and making
lothes for papa and the b oys, and I
m happy. They make the living
nnd I try to make them a home. We
work, pray and try to serve God and
•ur country. I would like to have a
letter from you when you can find
time to write,and we would be glad to
see you, when you can come to see

Receiver Sapp saya the people are

John Hanna, of whom I spoke of

I knew he’d try to fly sooner or later.
The report that cotton had fallen
off seven or eight dollars on the bale
last Friday, made some buyers feel
sorter blue. But there’s no cause for
alarm.
Tax receiving and collecting of
taxes is a month sooner this year
than usual. Comptroller says collec
tors must come across for he needs
the money.
Some of the girls up at Wray think
C. A. Rozal is expecting to get a new
girl soon, or make up with Julia or
Mary. He has a new suit, new hat,
new shoes and a newsmile on his
face.
Engneer T. R. Sikes, of this place,
jne of the best on the G. & F., his

Fifty or sixty pint bottles of high
(whsky) explosve were fund by the
Shei if and Chief Pharis one nigth last
week. The bottles were broken and
the whiskey poured into a sewer the
next day.
Dan Lot was in town last week and
so was Youngy Vickers. The police
were notifyed to keep an eye on them
iceep them away from each ather as
the latter had been talking about
Davis Cheuffer.
There is a man in town who says
leople who are too poor to own and
:eep and feed a cow ought not to
own one. And that they are resposi
>le for being poor. Wonder if he is
responsible for being a selfish fool.
The government has taken over the
jut put of all the factories that make
lie favorite brands of smoking to

’rince Albert, Tuxedo, Velvet and
ther favorite tobaccos will cut it out

There’s a man in the county who
has more money than he knows what
to do with, and he has been trying

A girl in the country who reads the
Note Book, saw last week where John
Vickers was going to order a wife
from Sears & Roebuck, and wants to
“know if she couldn’t order a fellow
ror herself.” I hardly think so, for
Sears & Roebuck have sent all the
fellows of yan account to the army.
Just a few left, like John Vickers.
What’s the m&tter with fixing it up
with him and you won’t have to pay
freight on a fellow from Chicago.

to my home, 409 Ward street, and I
will put a sticking plaster on them
that will hold them together. Time

at fuestion, with the advantage with
Mr. Harris. It is claimed, by many,
| that Hoke Smth is not much, if any
more loyal to the administration than
Hardwick, and that Howard is more
or less, under the control of Smith,
therefore, between Harris and How
ard, the former is the man. But there
is one thing certain, unless some or
ganized effort is made to consolidate
the vote of the people Mr. Hardwick
will be re-elected. Now you can stick
a pin here. As far as I am concern
ed I am opposed to Hardwick and
Smith, because they are not support
inf the government in its measures
to prosecute the war.
Mrs. Jno. B. Dorminy phoned me
last Tuesday night that there was
going to be a big day at her home on
Saturday, May 4th. This big day
will be the re-union of the near rel
atives of Henry Vicktrs, Sr., his bro
thers, sisters and others, near and
dear. Of coures, Henry can’t see all
of them, but Mrs Dorminy expect all
to come who can. The Vickers
Sears, Lotts and Paulks make a
large family, and if all of them go
and carry a big basket full to the
brim, and then four or five big po
tatoes in each, pocket there will be
some grub there. And then Hen
ry, Eli,, Dennis, Younger, Bud Fus
sell and others will tell some yarns.
Arniabell Dorminy and sisters have
concluded to have their new spring
dresses and hats bn straight, fur
some flleows are coming that are not
relatives, but God knows they hope
to be.
