Our lidq. is in the rear of this lady's
maison and she comes in real often
and tries to talk. Its just all a jq^e.
All these French people are just as
polite and congenial as they can be
and its such a pity we can't understand
each other. At one town where we
were billeted not long ago it happened
thai we got there after dark and could
n't do much picking and choosing.
Cheatham scouted around and found a
small-sized wagon body, under a shed
and he. Reginald Alston and I soon
made a home of it. In a few minutes
the man to whom it belonged and his
daughter came out to see what was
Mpfrenfng. We thought sure.. th*>
vore going to run us out so I com
: -.ced thinking what to ?ay and fin
: . managed to get rid of these worilc*
( e. unit. Mile understood and an
s.. ? .1 "Oui'' and began pulling out
fain, .occhinery making room for more
o' Ui. Of course thi8 may seem like a
sumII la/or but I think anybody that
can be nice to soldiers arter having
c?-. Mi:k- . -.?ith them for over four year
?c$riaJ'&ly must be above the average.
We bev?* go in their homes to buy eggs
and milk and they always treat us
nicely I couldn't help from noticing
a lit:le incident that happened not
Vok? go. wf, went to a house to buy
iH* Csgr, there were several women
agoscd knitting (and probably
talkiTTg the town news) they couldn't
talk ?o U3 so they made their little
a?; ct d a few stunts.
i saw a-count tsg the other day. she
\va* '.he first one I liacf ever seen, she
was dressed in black as most of the
wojnr;n are over here. Wish you could
have seen the French people bowing
and rcraping arouml her. I knew
? somebody" was in town. She surely
lived in a pretty chatcau. It was
buih of stone and all around it was
? i M i"n t
a long, shady avenue running up to jt.
.After the war I want to take some
pictures of this beautiful country, for
its impossible for mo to describe it.

Only four companies were in the pa

,of course felt very much honored. I
never have been as clean in all my
lite. lie looks just-like his picture,
Miily ? lot older.?It mmn bo mighty
nice to i;e a king or a countess, but I
had sight rather seen Mr. "Pas" I'earce
and heard him tell a few jokes. You
remember how much liro. WilT.e and
I used to enjoy being' with him.
We re out of .the line for a little
rest and you can bet I am enjoying it.
Now the word rest in war doesn't
mean the same as it does back home.
Over here we drill for seven hours or
dig trenches. Its mostly to relieve us
of the strain of trench life and being
under fire. Not that we are scared,
but after a fellow loses sleep and {niss
ea his rations (at timesJ for several
weeks and these other things it be
gins to tell.
I sent some money home for Sidney
Burnett about 3 days before he was

Dear Mr. Johnson .
We are a buncr of boys from Frank
lin County who decided that maybe
you would be interested in wliat wo
have to say, aboutrwhat we know about
the happenings "Somewhere in
France."
Of course this letter will not con
tain as much ^ one we might write
you later. We will take it for granted
that you know we haven't seeii any
any real service at the front yet. We
are just getting our "oversea" training
v.iiich will enable us to do our bit
in licking the Germans proper.
Tell nil our good Franklin County
friends -o look out for us .wild cats of
the Sl?f division. When we do
Set up there for we are going over the
ici). Wj don't know just when we
will got there but wiien we do we will
kc?p the Germans guessing all the
time. The boys up there nov,* are
almost astonishing the Whole world,
making records such as the world has
never known before. Taking in con
\tern1 ion the length of time we have
been prepjarlti? for this strusMc and
ci course we don't expect to let them
surpass us in anything. If we dHrt't
heat them we wouldn't think we haB
done cur part.- ar, much*{-.s they, have
done.

that Franco has lots of pretty girls,

Since we have been on ?lita side
and on the way over, we have seen lot3
of new things to us, but th?.t* makes
us;\think all the morethat our good
oHj United States of America is the
grand*?t P'ace on the globe. I will
sr.y right here in behalf of the U. S.
soldiers in France. The people back
home ought to write more often than
they do. Perhaps yoif will say, "well.
I have no relatives over there, there
fore it Isn't neccssary for me to write,"
that may be true, but.y.,j r.iay have a
friend, drop him a few lines cf encour
agement some day when you are not
busy, n wltl do him more good than
hundreds of dollars when he gets back.
, Just a little Joke on one of us boys.
This morning as we sat up on a hill
side planning this letter, all at once
we heard an awful ndlse behind us,
and looking around what should we
see but a big "French Bull," coming
towards us bellowing, at the same time
T happened to notice a barbed wire
fence between us and him and kept my
seat, while the Sgt. had his (45) Colt,
remained also, but you ought to h*re
seen old O. O. S. pro down that hillside,
as heavy a8 he Is.
P. S. Thought I would have gotten
a few words in above letter but didn't
gpet back in time. Sgt. Hicks Ij some
brave fellow. I always feel safe when
with him. You should heve seen him
a few days ago advancing on a neat of
yellow Jackets. Believe lie gave all
kinds of commands but the yellow boys
continued to advance and poor Sgt.
dropped his 46 and looked for a dug
out. Now this is only half of the
sior;.. .we'll tell the rest when we all
get lr.uek. My friend Massey has
a record too. but will leave It for next
Ume. All of we boyjfc that don't speak
French are always glad to ??at with
old M. He knows it too well. When

As one of the large force of Libnrtj

fi-ank yo'i 'or your efforts on behalf
cf this Pond Issue. The plans of the
women of the entire Statp were great
ly hindered by the epidemic which over

was most needed, but this is a matter

the American women did their duty by

? they are solidly behind the government

Again I thank you for your hearty
cooperation and if there should be fur

Mrs. J. A. Turner/Chairman of the
Louisburg Rod Cross Chapter, has ap
pointed t no following Committees to
assist in handling the Christmas par
rels:
This is one of the largest opportuni
ties for service ever given the Amer
ican Ked Cross by the United States
government. An enormous organiza
tion was needed to carry out the plan
for giving the wlilole American army a
happy Christmas, and as has often hap
pened before, the goverment has turn
ed to the Red Cross for_ help. T1*16
task involves the hard and faithful
work of many individuals, and the co
operation of every chapter and branch
in the country.
The time allotted for this work is
short, as Nov. 20th is the last day on
which parcels may be mailed. Chap
ter headquarters for the distribution
and receiving of boxes will bo at Louis
burg, and those in all townships of
the county, except Franklinton and
Youngsville. can present the Christ
mas labels they have received from
the soldier* overseas, at the down
town headquarters in Louisburg, and
receive their bo* to fill and return ?o?
shipment. Full 'instructions will be giv
en when boxes are delivered.
