Prichett, , of Cordele, was official ly reported dead by the government j ; and more than a year later he writes home that he is well and will soon be with his people. The story is like the most exciting adventure in fiction. Young Mr. | Pritchett enlisted in the Macon Vol ; unteers and went to the Mexican , | border with that company. In the , great war his company was put into Battery H, 151st Machine Gun Bat . ! talion and soon saw active service at the front. In October, 1918, Rev. . Mr. Prichett received notice from the war department that his son lay dead on th«> battlefields of the Meuse. For :; more than a year the young man was j mourned as dead, until yesterday | when the father received a letter , from his son dated from Washing i j ton and stating that he wofald soon be home. Young Mr. Pritchett was shot down on the battlefield and lay there until picked up by the Germans. For more than a year he was in German hospitals and prisons and has just now reached “The Good Old United States.” j ~AMUSEMENTS j A HIGH CLASS MINSTREL.
