The readers of this paper will be

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being great

ment. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine is tak

tion of the disease, giving the patients

ONLY FEW OF OLD
SPALDING GRAYS
AT CAMP WHEELER
PEOPLE OF GRIFFIN WILL BE IN
TERESTED TO KNOW JUST
HOW MANY WHO ENLISTED
FOR BORDER SERVICE REMAIN
WITH COMPANY L.
•——
The News and Sun takes great
pleasure in reproducing the following
communication from Thomas J. Den
ham, sergeant of Company L, 121
; Infantry, showing how many of the
■ boys who enlisted for border service
j still remain with the famsu. old
Spalding Grays at Camp Wheeler in
Macon:
j Camp Wheeler, Ga., Sept. 1, 1918.
■ Editor Griffin News and Sun,
Gwffin, Ga.
Dear Sir:
Owing to the fact that the people
'of Griffin ask this question, “How
many cf the old boys still remain in
the company?” we request of you to
publish the following letter fur their
benefit:
: Only a few of the old Spalding
Grays remain at Camp Wheeler, Ga.
People of Griffin, I feel that you
■will be glad to know just how many
of the olu boys who enlisted for bor
der service still remain with Company
L, better known in Griffin as “Spald
ing Grays.” They are as follows:
Officers —Capt. E. W. Book; Ser
geants Linton L. Beckham, Johnnie
Bolton, Thomas J. Denham, Douglas
; Smith, Millard F. Swint, George C.
| Boggs, Thomas L. Kendrick, Earnest
jE. Hammonds; Corporals Charles O.
I Head, Carl H. Smith, Robert F. Jones,
(Wilbur C. Simcnton; Cooks Sam Ken
|drick, Bronza Howard; Musicians 11.
|L. Hawkins, Jack Gleaton. Total. 17.
Because we are still at Camp W hee-
Ter, Ga., not the least bit do we feel
|we are “slackers.” The war depart-
Iment saw fit to keep us over here to
l train the new men. The majority of
(the boys that were first called out
i are now with the Rainbow Division in
France. June 29, 1918, we sent off
! about twenty. After being trained
1
| with a group of clever men it is some
thing else to be separated. Company
jL is now composed of men from Illi
'nois and Michigan. Let me say right
now the non-coms have learned the
art of training the civilians into sol
diers.
| A few of these men can't even
| speak English, some job we have. Yes,
( we are stil over here but there is not
la single man in our ranks that would
not give his life’s blood as freely as
the Sammy, Tommy or Poliu over
over there.
We are still your boys, Griffin, al
though we die on the battlefield of
Sunny France.

pany L at the presnt time:

"Work —don t waste” is the motto of every patriots
American. And it is well to remember that the false econ
omy of buying cheap clothes is among the most hurtful va
rieties of waste.
It is wasted labor that goes into the making of clothes
from inferior fabric, fabric which soon wears out and causes
the clothes to lose their shape. It is a waste, too, of the fa
bric itself which otherwise might be put to practical uses.
There is no waste or extravagance in buying SOCIETY
BRAND CLOIHES. I hey represent the true economy—
the getting of a dollar’s value for every dollar you spend.
They give the most iti workmanship, style, fit and fabric.
