GREENSBORO, N. C. [AST [ND CANTttN “By the Barracks” G. L. THOMASON Proprietor Cigars, Cigarettes, Candy. Ice Cold T)rinks a Specialty We Serve YOU Right THE CADUCEUS (By Sergt. Ray J. Derwort) Without warning Sunday morning 27 of the 30 patients of this ward were attacked by the dread malady known as “Dutyitis” and before Med ical Attention could be secured, had succumbed to the attack, leaving only thre to mourn their loss. The following fatalities were recorded: Hoffman, Ma honey, Stalvey, Colville, Uhl, Thomp son, Dawber, Teeter, Vickers, Tony, McIntyre, Sells, Sapp, Jones, Schadow, Targesz, Johnson, Hayes, Mitses, Boyd, Hopkins, Goldsmith, Walter, Jones, D. B., Herndon, Kentner, Freeman. We think it not out of place to here record the deeds and misdeeds of the late departed and altho some bore a reputation not to be envied we will attempt to give them their just dues. Hoffman: He was everywhere known for his prodigous appetite and his eating proclivities were the pride of all who knew him. Dawber: We miss you, in spite of your infirmities yo set a fine example. Vickers: Many a gloom did he dis pel with his funny antics at drill. Al tho not according to Hoyle ye the was there with the goods. Tony: We hardly knew him. He came and was gone, leaving but a vague memory. McIntyre: Never daunted and died, game to the last, Sapp: Started with a handicap and ended with a reputation further de- ponet sayeth not. Sells: Weighed in the balance and found not wanting. Jones: A new man but promising. Boyd: He will always be remember ed as tne man that made the funny little hats and as a tailor had few peers. Johnson: We haen’t the heart John son, old boy. It wasn’t your fault and if you tried we never knew it. The rest we cannot judge as they were here too short a time for us to form an opinion, but we miss you one and all, rest assured, and wish you success wherever you go. We still have Stockin, Russell, Gold en and Bell and with the additions of Hill, Stamatopues, Yeasky, Schug and Rupert we will try and forget the past and live only in the future. The chilly weather of the last few days brings to mind a poem that the writer chanced to see some time ago which seems apropriate to the sea son. Complete line of drug gists’ sundries.

Colville: Of him we can say but little good as he beat fatigue on the slightest occasion. Uhl: He never had much to say and in that respect was like the Owl, a wise old bird, al right, but ! ! ! Thompson: He will be greaty miss ed by the young ladies of Charlotte as he bore an enviable reputation as a “Lounge Lizard.” Stalvey: He had acquirde a love for his cot that was the marvel of all who knew him. His penchant for bunk fa tigue will eventually win him reknown (in the guardhouse.) In here with two thin blankets. As thin as a slice of ham, A German spy, was likely the guy.

Farmer Giles—Well, mum, its this way.
