DRAKE SHOE CO. “’cSiKr'- A Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of McDonough and Henry County. 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 McDonough, Georgia, Friday, july 19, 1918 IR Women.s Low Shoes $9.50 Pumps and Ties $6.95 9.00 “ “ 6.45 8.50 “ “ 5.95 8.00 “ “ 5.45 7.50 “ “ 4.95 7.00 “ “ 4.45 ’ 6.50 “ “ 3.95 6.00 “ “ 3.45 5.50 “ “ 3.30 5 00 “ 3.15 4.50 “ “ 2.85 3.50 “ “ 2.45 2.50 “ “ 1.95 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. “Your friend, “HOMER G. BRANNAN, “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. ■v v Ai. ■ -* •' ■ Children’s Low Shoes $3.50 Boys’ and Girls’ $2.45 3.00 “ “ 2.25 2.50 “ “ 1.75 2.00 “ “ 1.45 1.75 “ “ i 1.35 1.50 “ “ 1.15 1.25 “ “ .95 1.00 “ “ .80 .75 “ “ .60 Children’s Slippers in all colors, styles and widths.
