WRITES HOME FROM CAMP
Camp Colt, Gettysburg, Pa., June

I guess that aletter from Pa. will
surprise you, but I just wanted let
you and the people of Coffee county
that the three boys, Roy McClean,
John Calhoun and myself all from
Douglas and Coffee County are fare
ing well and having a splendid time.
John Calhoun and Roy McLean are
continually talking of their girls they
left behind, but I think that the Yan
kee girls and time will wear that off.
I have happened to the good hick
of being made a corporal and am
striving to go higher. Roy and John
are still privates but if they continue
to do as well as they have lately they
too. will soon become; non-coms.
We have otiiy been in the service
two months but that is long enough
to make su think *>f good old Douglas
and home folks, and just long enough
to hate old Kaiser Bill. There is the
chow call so will have to close. You
can publish if you like.

NOTICE!
Dont ask the driver for credit; for credit
will be taken from his day’s wages. I

not have a bookkeeper on each wagon
Get a book or have the change and
the driver can get around so much quick
er so everybody can get their ice on time
Ice books are cash on delivery as the
driver is charged with everyone he car

JOHN SON-OVERSTREET
A wedding winch created quite a
ripple of interest on acount of its
suddenness and the prominence of
'the parties took place on last Wed
nesday, June 12, in Columbia, Tenri.,
when Mr. Thomas W. Overstreet and
Miss Martha Johnson, both of this
city, were married, the wedding be-,
ing performed by Rev. W. B. Hicks,;
pastor of the M. E. church of that
city.
A few close friends here knew of i
the intimacy of the young couple and
of their plans, but it was kept a
secret, and when the bride left here
in April for a vacation, the wedding |
compact had not been arranged, but i
'was later planned, and Mr.Overstreet •
deft several days ago on a vacation'
and the first, news of him was that j
he was maried to Miss Johnson at j
•the home of her brother, Mr. B. A. j
j Johnsort in Columbia. The Enter-,
: prise heard of the weddig last Thurs-:
day afternoon about the time we had j
made our first mailing, hence our ov-!
ersight in not carrying this message ‘
at that time.
The bride has lived in this city for j
a couple of years, and recently has}
been employed in the postoffice as 1
clerk. She came here about the time
her sister, who was known here as
Miss Nola Johnson, since married,
left. She has made scores of friends
throughout the city and county on I
account of her friendliness and qual- !
ity of character, and they are glad j
that she decided to make this her per- |
manent home. Mrs. Overstreet is a i
daughter of Mr. J. B. Johnson, of!
Caney Springs, Tenn.
The groom is one of the most pop
ular young men of the city and coun
ty, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Ov
erstreet, of this city, and has lived i
here all of his life. He is at pres
ent assistant postmaster at Douglas,
having held this responsible position
for some time. He has friends where
ever he is known, being a young man ;
bf sterling character and splendid
habits. He is a great church worker,
and secret order man, and popular
wherever he works, making nothing
but true and lasting friends.
The couple left Columbia after the
fcereiiiony and spent a few days in
Nashville and Atlanta before return
ing to Douglas. They begin house
keeping today on Madison avenue
in the home purchased by Mr. Over
street some time ago in which Mr.
Mizell and family have lived for sev
eral months.
