TV- f . '' -. A ,-;v CTatauga Stmctrst i?. C. iftwrs, Proprietor. Thursday, Auarst 8, 1918. This paper has enlisted with the government in the cause of America for the period of the -war Litter From Camp lacksoi. Editor Democrat: lam now an inmate of Camp Jackson so pleaee forward the Democrat to my address. We finished oil" traiuin; at the A. & E. College July 13tb, and enme to Jackson that night. Out of a class of thirtv nine men twenty one of us qualified as first classelectriciana and are permitted to wear Ibe green hat cord of an engineer. - We are just here waiting for a definite assignment from the War Dept. at Washington. We are expecting to be attached to some trained machine gun bat tall ion, or artillery division some time soon. In the meantime we are having some great experiences here in the Depot Brigade. Near ly all our men from Raleigh have been placed on the permanent personnel of this companv and are rated as non-commissioned officers. 10,000 men came into the Depot Brigade from Ohio last week so you can imagine what is require I of a man on the person nel, as oil of these men are to re ceive, examine and equip. Pe eides all new men have to be In structel in military courtesy, matching, facings, military car riage and the like. At night we atte id a non-com. school where we drill and study tactics. Really we are enjoying every minute of the time hero but all of our training has bren to fit us t "greet " a 0rmonns he should be greeted so naturally we want t go. ;. The day after we came to tin? camp there wna a cull for volun teers for over 8:n service in the Mel 1 artillery. I was really proud of N. (J. for eveiy man fron the A & E. stepped to the front as if "Aa Skirmishers" had bepugiv en. But we were not eligible as Wc are in detached service. Some tune go we' were talking about the Hun being 47 miles fiom Paris now we are trying to figure how long it will take us to travel the 425 miles to Berlin. Of coursi we can't -tell but I know we are going, You can see spirit in every soldiers eyes and determination in his drill. When I read an account of the Rel Cross drive i. Watauga I felt that I rather be a soldier thai anything in the world. Since the people at home have bee i fo patriotic in tlaeir contri bjtions for war purposes I ain determined not only to do my fill duty as a soldier, but eery t iiog in ray power to help win thh war. Best wishes, GEORGE SHERR1LL. Card of Tbipks. . Ou last Friday evening while the pastor of the Methodist Church was out of town and bis wife was out of the house, a par ty of people from Booue entered the parsonage and took possess ion. After boldly calling Mrs. Fo veil in and talking for a while they left. Qn examination it was found that meat, flour) canned go xU and other articles had been left by them. For this the good people have the sincere gratitude of the preacher and his wifa. We feel like the young couile did when they were serenaded, , and as the parties were having tin bride called out, ''Conle back an J do it again." ILL. P.

" j i It is good to be at home again with my dear parent s. I found them as well as could beexpected for people of their age. Father is in his 89th year and mother is in her 83rd, I plan to rest up at home till theerid of September. After that I hope to visit a few association al gatherings and then go to Person county to see some of my dear wife's people. I am at home for rest, but want to see as many, of our friends as I can before I return to China. My strength permit tiog I want also to do some trav eling and work amongst the churches. But I do not want to do more of this than will be con sistent with my program for rest and recuperation. Whether 1 do much or little of this kind of work I trust that you will pray foT rxe that my labors may be fruitful. Continue to forward your con tributions to me as heretofore and what come in above my support I will putjit aside for pas sage money. I hope we shall have others to go with me when I return to Chi na. Tbe.'i are greatly needed in ourwoikatTaianfu,aud let us not forget to pray daily that God will give them to us. Yours fraternalv.
