GREAT CHAIN OF DEPARTMENT STORES
LETTKIt FROM K. I\ Rl'CkMAN.
Former Smithtield Young Man Who
Moved To Montana Now In Train
ing at American Lake, State of
W ashington.
Mr. Editor:
As most all of the large army train
ing camps are located in the South,
probably you folks have not heard
much about Camp Lewis, American
Lake, Washington. This camp is lo
cated 17 miles south of Tacoma, and
57 miles southwest of Seattle. The
camp was just planned to accommo
date 40,000 soldiers, but has been en
larged so it will now accommodate
about t>0,000 and there are about 30,
000 here now. The balance will arrive
within the next month.
All drafted men from Califor
nia, >\ Sington, Idaho and Montana
will be sent to this camp, and part
those from Utah, Wyoming and Ne
vada. All these being the Far West
ern States, about half of the men
from the Plains and Cattle Ranches,
generally known as Cow Boys, and
are a wild bunch, but all true to the
Red, White, r.nd Blue and with a few
months training will make a fine,
brave army of young men.
One of the finest things in the
camp is the Army Y. M. C. A. There
are six of these in camp Lewis, about
five men in each building that do not
hesitate in doing anything for our
pleasure and education. Thoy have
preaching twice n week, several lect
ures, moving pictures, music of all
kinds ? all free; also furnish us free
stationery, reading material and sport
goods. The Army Y. M. C. A. is a
great thing with us soldier boys, and
we appreciate every penny that is
given towards running them.
We have to get out at 5:15 in the
morning, march to the drilling
grounds and take thirty minutes ex
ercise before mess, which is at six
o'clock. This is a little h;:rd to do at
first, but it gives us a good appetite
all right for breakfast.
I am now in the 340th Machine Gun
Battalion, Company "B", but I will
soon transfer into the signal corps as
1 know the Morse Telegraphy and can
learn the Wireless in few weeks, so
will be of more service in thr.t work
as they are in need of wireless oper
ators.
Let me add that I get The H?rald
regularly and will nrrnnge to get it
as long as possible, for it seems like
getting a letter from home to me to
get th? old Smithfield Herald.
Please let th ? paper still go to
teed point, Mont., and I will have it
orwarded to me until 1 Ret perma
lently located.

WILSON'S MILLS SCHOOL NEWS.
(By Harriet Uzzle.)
Tuesday morning, Mrs. P. E. Tom
linson and Mrs. Eli Johnsen went to
Raleigh on a visit to Miss Bernice
Tomiinson who recently underwent an
operation at Rex Hospital. Her condi
tion was reported favorably.
Her many friends in school and in
our community were glad to greet
Miss Ellen Uzzle who spent the week
end with her mother, Mrs. Lula Uzzle.
In attendance at Meredith College,
Raleigh, Miss Uzzle is one of a hap
py number of girls Wilson's Mills is
now sending to the colleges of our
State.
Mr. Harry Wilson celebrated his
departure to the government training
camp thiis week. His celebrations con
sisted chiefly in the moderate exer
cise of a privilege to banquet the
teachers Wednesday evening and reg
ular attentions to the delivery of
mail by automobile to the sam ? par
ties. He departed Friday with our
best wishes.
Miss Mary Ferrell, of Durham, N.
C., is a visitor at the home of Mrs.
P. II. Massey. Miss Ferrell former
ly lived here. We hope she will see
fit to Hvd with us again.
Mr. D. O. Uzzle and wife spent
Thursday afternoon in Smithfield.
M iss Evie Wilson returned Wednes
day from extended visits to Burling
ton and North Wilkesboro.
Mr. otd Mrs. J. W. Vinson, Miss
Lucy Davis and Mr. Frank Davis
passed Wednesday evening in Smith
field.
' M rs. J. W. Tomiinson shopped in
Clayton Thursday.
Mr. Porter Johnson left Friday for
the training camp at Columbia, S. C.
The sad part about the departure of
these boys will be overbalanced by
happiness on their return to find how
things have been made new. For their
work is making history, a history that
the world^will be proud of.
The ht-t.doo has been on the basket
ball rings. "Not a ball would go in" j
quoth James Turnage. Attendance was j
slightly off and no apparent way to
remedy it without, as one of our
amorous faculty said, "somebody
would go courting. And Miss Bridges
was getting blue; nor could anybody
help the state of affr.irs. The dormo
tory cook came back. Her name is
Corinne Bobbitt. When on her return
from somewhere in Granville she took
her place by the door, the basket ball
team took heart, atfen dance picked
up. and, well that poii|t was censored.
Miss Clem Bridges spent the week
end in Elm City, Miss Claire Hodges
in La Grange, Miss Fannie Moye
Sunday at Mr. Harper's near Smith
field, and other members of the Dor
mitory force had a day off. So the
children are glad to see Corinna come
back.
Our society is lawful now. Some
body said it had to have a name. It
was suggested that we call it "Pope
Literary Society." Objection register
ed by the Principal was ruled and sus
tained by the President, and we journ
eyed somewhere, procured a name, and
unanimously adopted it. Henccforth
we shall speak of Franklin Literary
Society. The society will open its
doors to visitors this month. The
study of the Literary Digest under
our scheme has been successful. The
program for Friday contained very in
teresting features. In most instances
the speaking is without notes. The
Drink Problem in the War was limit
ed to a three-minute discussion by
Anthony Uzzle, Kipling Story Thrown
Away, and J. C. Harris, "Brer Bear
in the Honey Orchard," were splen
didly told by Lucy Gunn Uzzle. Points
in the biography of Henry D. Thoreau
were given by Cecil Turnage. > A
Reading, "Your dear Lad and Our
dear Lads are on the way to France,"
caught the interest of more than the
reciter, Leonard Massey. "The House
That Jack Built" was dramatized by
the children of Miss Bryan's room.
These arc a few of our choice selec
tions.
We are indexing our Library anew.
Sometime we are going to tell how
we use it.
