Miss King was one or uouisburg's
most popular and widely beloved
young ladies. She numbered her
friends and admirers by her acquain

disposition possessed by her. She
was always the same; pleasing in ap
pearance, tender in manner, refined.
Always displaying, unconsciously that
love of nature and folks that win the
admiration of all. To her pupils in
the Second Grade at the Louisburg
Graded School her death was a great
shock, to the faculty a painful separa

LETTERS FKOSf FRANCE

Feb. 6th, 191?. ^
Mr. A. F. Johnson.
Loulsburg, N. C., jfr
Dear Mr. Johnson:?
It has been my intention to weft# j
you for some time, but waiting for Vjf
transport, homeward bound, has 1cdj
me very busy
Up to, and including the elevenJJ
hour of November 11th, the buy? i
our regiment were always o n the ale
and ready at any time to meet the eL^
emy for a free-for-all fight. * Sin*#?
that time, those of us who was fortu
nate enough to come out with a wtidf
hide, have been more, alert thafo e*
for news of an order bidding up aril
take ur our bed and walk to a jortj
embarkation.
We arrived safely overseas AufW
11th, after a very pleasant trip *crofi,'
Was fortunate in not having but tWQ,
days of rough sea the entire trip. Ax-*;
ter spending two days in England at %
rest camp, better known as a pes^
camp, we sailed for the country
are now existing in. Landing at Z&\
Havre, we traveled by rail to the
lage of Tanlay, France, where we re
mained until Sept. 17th, going frol^
there to what is known *a the St. Die
Sector on the Alsace border. Thie
sector was xpry quiet during our thir7
ty days occupation but enough hap*
pened each day to ke?p a (ellow
minded that a war was on.
In our post of observation we coul?}
see the Hun in his from lines and he
looked very harmless from a dffetafttf
of four kilometers, but if a few\?3i*?
fell near him he usually answered
iback with his 77.
I No doubt, those in power decided
that our division, (Wildcats) 81st. was
made up of such good soldiers that
they would place us where there wa?
| some real fighting going *>n.
On November 1st, we Began the hike
'that carried us thru St. Mehiel sector
' on to the front which waa at that time
I in the lower edge of the Argonne For?*
est about twelve kilometers east ox
Verdun. Arriving there on the 3rd
| and 4th, orders came to prepare for a
drive to take pla<>e on ttie morning of
i the 9th and such a busy body of men
as we were, preparing to carry out the
orders. .
j Shall never forget the weather con
ditions on the mortiing of Nov.
A very dense fog covered everything
and it was almost impossibly to jSe
?any object tor any distance. Xju
roads were muddy -and-the heavy ffnl
fic making them worse a seach hour
passed.
According to orders, the 321st and
322nd regiment of our division began
the drive which was in full bloom the
hour the Armistice took place. Our
rcgidient. 323rd. began its part of the
program on Sunday morntng the 10th,
and over the top, into the low lands,
the boys went as if they were after a
(car load of jam waiting for them at
the next town.
! Thu Hwmmi with lintr nnrir no din g
aitilkry and machine gun tiro, would
send a brave lad to his final resting
I place every now and then, but the
' drive continued, and the morning of
the close we were five and- one half
kilometers nearer Berlin.
i n m iini nin tiinr in mrinH.ri fin
comparatively small the dZ4ttiueai ing
the greater loss of all four regiments.
The war is over now and the cry
from every side is, take me ba<?k to
America and home.
I The Slst division is located in the
area around Chatillon Sur Seine, cov
ering a territory of about thirty kilo
meters square.
The men are very comfortably fixed
and the main object in view now is to
furnish entertainments for the boys.
Every regiment gathers its talent to
put on the best show possible with the
available material. The division has
a show now touring France, entertain
ing the boys of the A. E. F.
-Now, while writing would like to
know why the Franklin Times has ne
ver arrived in France for my approv
al. Was notified months ago that it
was. being sent to my army address
but have never received a copy.
Will compromise the case with you
provided >ou will use the influence of
your paper toward the return of the
A. E. F. Tont Suite. S'il Vaus Plait.
With kindest regards to you and the
force. hoping to see you all soon, too,

Youngest Louisburger Longest Over

Lawrence Egerton enjoys the dis
tinction of having been in service lon
ger than any other man from this
place. He is also probanly the youn
gest Louisburg man overseas. He en
listed in the Marine Corps in Phila
aeipnia in April, 1917. Having had
some previous military training at the
State College be was made a member
of the Fifth Regiment, composed of
veteran troops. His regiment sailed
from Philadelphia on the transport
Henderson a few weeks later?|n June
and was the first regiment of Ameri
can troops landed in France. It was
also one of the first thrown into ac
tion. It will be remembered that the
Marines rendered valiant service be
fore other troops vi-ere available, nor
were they spared afterward. He want
through the conflict without receiving
a wound, though his regiment suffered
many casualties and encured great
hardships, of one may believe the ac
count given in the article entitled
"The Last Fight." in a recent, number
of the Saturday Evening Post.
In a recent letter he tells of a dream
he had while waiting for the hour to
arrive at which they were to begin
that "last fight." It is interesting on
ly because of the conditions under
which a soldier may fall asleep.
"I was lying in a shell nole," he says,
"waiting for 6 o'clock, at which time
we were to go over the top on that me
morable November, morning. I was

j Throughout the country this month

? month. Now we want to beg the Liv
erymen of our town to please try to
get their horse stables cleaned out
; and the manure hauled out of Town or
put in the ground. We all know that
I In and about horse stables are the
I great source In which flies deposit their
eggs and in a few days thousands and
millions of flies go forth on their dis
ease carrying and death dealing work.
Horse stable manure in the stalls and
'halls are not so prolific in the produc

manure, because that in halls and
stalls are being continually moved by
