22 year old lad was fighting brav- f
ely for his country, a 22 year old
lad by the name " of Charles E'
Gavin, vho had left his home near
Warsiaw to do his part'in a noble -
cause. ' " w ; s-.
Peace was. not far off m that,

"V Gavin didn't hesitate. 'When the

. .stained figures sought their fri-
ends, Gavin was not among them,
ne nad aied lor a cause.
' But he was not forgotten. His
' body was brought to America, and
. now rests in the family cemetery,
near Warsaw, ' And the local post
of the American legion bean his
, name, in perpetual honor of his
: bravery and as a token of eontin
ous love and reverence to the ty
- pica! American soldier. ' - - '
Young Gavin was not the only
; soldier from this section to take
part in that memorable battle of
the Iffeuse-Argonne; ' -.
In the same section were our
own renowned Henry L. Stevens.

H. H. Hines, W. PrBridgers, Joe,

The Other Side
Spirits will run high ' during
Warsaw Armistice Week, when
the people of Duplin county frolic
and gambol in the carnival atmos
phere of a holiday celebration, but
let's not forget just what we are
celebratingthe signing of the
Armistice, the dav when hovs -and
men fronv every nation shontedJllil, 041 while
joyfully, at their release fronv po
tential death. . j , - -
Those men and boys, who had
left their homes with slim chances

for the ramble of guns which had, jred that she is still a total in

hushed too soon. Many failed to
appreciate the newly found peace,
They failed to return. Many more
returned nanus limbs, eyes, or o

Therefore, let us remember
that we are not only celebrating
the day when peace reigned once
more, but we are paying a tribute
to men who died, men who . were
wounded beyondVrecoveryf. Let us
keep- in mind the black side of
war and work to prevent another
slaughter of our brave young, men.
