Germans Now Realize
Americans Can Fight.
Under the above heading the
Atlanta Sunday Journal printed
the following interesting letter
from Homer Brannan, The Week
ly’s former faithful employee:
The Americans are fighters. The
French know it and "the Germans
are beginning to find it ont. This
is the information furnished by a
letter from a McDonough boy, Pri
vate Homer G. Brannan, a youth
not yet past his majority, who ran
away from home to enlist at Fort
McPherson ou the day before Eas
ter last year.
The Communication is addressed
to A, L, Fouche, of the Federal
Reserve bank, whose father, J. A.
I Fouche, proprietor of The Henry
j County Weekly, was employing
the youth at the time he joined the
cdlors. His news from the front
throws some unusual sidelight on
the weakening of the German mor
ale, the eagerness of the boys to
hear from the folks across seas,
and their keen interest in the suc
cess of the Liberty Bond campaigns.
His letter, which is well worth
anybody’s reading, follows :
•‘June 7, 1918.
“Mr. A. L. Fouche, care Federal
Reserve Bank, Atlanta, Ga.
‘‘Dear Alt’: lam going to reply
to your letter that 1 received a few
days ago. I was certainly glad to
hear from my old friend and was
also glad to get the papers you
have sent me. I was not the only
one glad to get them, too, for there
are a good many boys from Geor
gia who were glad to see them, so
please send some more. We were j
interested in the news from the;
Toul sector, because we had only 1
been away from that front for two
days when the things the papers
describe happened.
aie on a front now where
things are pretty lively, but you
will have to hand it to Uncle Sam’s

hoys, for tiiey are certainly doing
their cintv and tjie French know it.
too. They certainly do treat us
nicely, pat- us on the backs and sav :
‘Americans Bon.’ (That means
good, says Mr. Brannan.)
The Germans also have found
out that we are pretty good fight
ers, I believe. We took a German
sergeant major prisoner the other
day, and said there were just two
things he wanted to do before lie
died—take a chew of American
made tobacco and see one of those
three-inch machine guns’ we had
been using on them.
“A German came over the other
night just in time for our midnight
lunch and gave himself m>. He
was treated to a good square meal
and then he wanted to go back and
get his brother.
“Alf, you said something in your
letter about wishing you were over
here with us boys. You are d <ing
your part there. There’s one thing
1 want to say— if the people in the
States only knew how their buying
Liberty Bonds is making it possible
for the army over here to do things,
they would have to be requested to
stop buying bonds instead of being
begged to buy them. You know
that every time the Germans shoot
at us we want to fire about a hun
dred shots in return, and it cer
tainlv takes money to keep that up.
“The thing that surprises me
most here is-that it makes no dif
ference where 1 go the papers yon
send me follotv me up until 1 get
them.
“Write me again soon.

“Somewhere in France.
Private Brannan is a member of
a machine gun battalion. He is
the son of James W. Brannan, a
farmer in the vicinity of McDon
ough. Although he had been fa
vored with but limited opportuni
ties as to educational advantages,
he clearly saw the justness of
America’s cause and his duty to
the nation, according to his friend,
Meetings to Begin.
Sunday, July 21st, a series of
meetings are to begin in the Tim
berridge Presbyterian church, and
we are looking forward to a gra
cious season of spiritual refresh
ing.
You can’t afford to miss the 11
o’clock service on the 3d Sunday j
morning, as there will he a special j
music programme for that hour.!
Such musical artists as “Lon”'
Norman, “Jess” Pendley, Arthur!
Upchurch and others are expected
to be with us at that time. The
afternoon following the morning
these with others are
booked to attend a singing in the
Sharon Baptist church.
The meeting will be especially
attractive and interesting because
of the fact that Rev. John Goff
and Prof. Finley Dunn will aid the
pastor in preaching and music.
Mr. Goff is our presbyterial evan
gelist and Mr. Dunn is our evan
gelistic singer.
Don’t forget the date —3d Sun
day, 21st day of July. Come and
enjoy the day with us.
M. c. Liddell.
Mr Fouche.
And Ids anxiety to get into the
thick of tilings is evidenced bv a
rather extraordinary incident that
occurred at- Fort Oglethorpe, where
he received preliminary training.
In his company there he found his
“double,” a man of almost identi
cal features and figure. This man
was named for overseas duty be
fore Brannan. So the young pa- 1
triot persuaded the ‘ double” to
trade places. They swapped cloth
es, equipment and bunks. And it
was only on the eve of his depar
ture that the substitution was dis
covered and frustrated.
