Lieutenant Mitchell entered the Officers’ Training Camp at Fort Oglethorpe, in August, 1917. There he was commissioned a first lieutenant of infantry. In February, he was sent to Camp McArthur, at Waco, Texas, where he remained until July, when he went over seas with the Seventh Division. In November, he was wounded during a reconnaisance in front of the enemy’s lines. This was near Mont Peser Farm, Page Thirteen in the St. Mihiel sector. It was Janu ary before he recovered, when he was sent back to Camp Dix for final dis charge. Among those who spent Easter else where were: Mr. T. L. McGowan, Mr. J. W.

Bradford, switchboard operator, surprised his friends by announcing his wedding to Miss Blanche Morgan, which took place on April 24. Miss Morgan is one of Marshville’s most beautiful young ladies. Mr. Bradford has been with the Tallassee Power Company for about three years, and is one of our very promising citizens. Mr. Robert Jones, of Fort Mill, S. C., has been engaged as switchboard operator. Prior to the war, Mr. Jones was with the Southern Power Company, but he comes here from France, having been recently discharged from the army. Paw Cotton, of the Hardaway Company, with a big force, is putting in the railroad bridge, and we will soon be able to place cars at our unloading platform, which will be a great help in getting supplies, etc. The power-house force are regular in attendance at the Beers School of Elec tricity, and are greatly benefited by the lectures. Books on electricity and friendly arguments are very much in evidence. Engineer Corbett has served notice on Farmer Scott that his cows, goats, and other stock will not be permitted to drink from the river above the dam during the summer months. Some efficiency! Mr. Tom Martin and crew have des cended on us, and are busily engaged in making preparations for the Brime test. Spring cleaning and painting is in progress at the power-house and dam, and things are hustling.
