Douglas Enterprise 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. Corporal Lonnie J. Lott, Co. d. 302 Heavy Tank Br.. NOTICE!

Douglas Ice Co. J. A. DORMINY, Manager 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. it’* f itting glasses is comparatively easy bus to fit them correctly and areurat ely is another matter.
