Pepper, Editor Danbury Reporter, Danbury, N. C. Dear Sir:- Would you please give space in your next issue of the Reporter for the few words below that I would like the of Stokes county to read? My home si at Lawsonville, N. C. I am now somewhere over seas. To whom it may concern Have you ever been at the sta tion when the boys were going away? If conditions were normal these boys would much rather stay at home with their families and friends. But their country was calling them and they are do ing their duty. Gathered around these boys were groups of loved ones and friends. Lots of mothers and sis ters had handkerchiefs to their eyes—they couldn't keep back the tears. To many a boy it was a terrific wrench at his heart. He took it because he had to. Many of these boys as they wound their hands when the bus or train pull ed away were seeing their home town and families for the last time. They will aever come back. They are giving their lives that freedom and Democracy may live. Tfiese boys must not have died in vain. You must carry on. The best way for you to do your part is to buy stamps, bonds and treasury issues to meet the cost of this war and bring the boys home as son as possible. Signed— William B. Watkins, 34300924. Troop B. 27th Cav-Rcn. Sq. A. P. O. 827. Care postmaster New Orleans, La. P. S. Mr. Pepper, please send me a copy of the paper that you put this in. If you do print it. Pes junto -ty; James W. Young, prominent cit izen of Meadows township, and a big iara.fr wa.- amonf the crowd here Monday. Mr. Young is a nat ural born pessimist. He sees things always in a dismal light. If the day is bright and beautiful like it was Monday Jim says: "Wait a minute, you see that little cloud back yonder in the west. Watch it. It is going to rain soon." We told him the difference be tween an optimist and a pessimist, which is this: , i "The optimist, the pessimist, . The difference is droll— The optimist sees the doughnut, The pessimist, the hole." But maybe it is well for some l of us to see the darker side, else we all might get too gay. Mr. Youag, though, is one of Stokes county's most successful farmers and most substantial citi zens. He knows tobacco, people, money. And that is a liberal educa tion for anybody. MORE BOYS TO , _ LEAVE FEB. 8 (Continued from page 1) Odell William Boles, King. Murray Mitchell Pilot Mtn.
