OlHJAMZK AMKIMCAN LKtiKIN.
Janibes post No. 105, Department
of North Carolina, -American Legion,
having recently secured its charter
from the National Headquarters, met
IVTonday night in the court house and
effected a permanent organization
electing officers for th? on?nini> vi:>r
as follows:
Samuel P, Bod die. Post Command
er; H. H. Wilson, Vice-Commander;
T. C. Alston, Post Adjutant and Fi
nance Officer; Hugh, W. Perry, His
torian-.
Quite a pretty little incident occur
red in the meeting when Major Boddie
attempted to forestall his own elec
tion as Commander of the post, main
taining that the post ought to be of
ficered by men from the enlisted per
sonel who served in the recent war,
but the boys would hear none of it
and before he had hardly finished tal
king, seconds to his nomination were
heard from every corner of the room.
They refused to offer another candi
date, and upon a roll call vote he was
unanimously elected. The members,
most of whom have served with Maj
or Bq^die's command in active ser-<
vice, were proud of an opportunity to
register their esteem and affection
for "Jam," the name by which he is
generally known among his comrad
es.
The name Jambes was chosen for i
the post in order to honor and per
petuate the memory of the only six
men from Franklin County, belonging
to Company "D" 120th infantry. 30th
Division, who' made the supreme sac
jSifice in the recent world war. The
inftials of the surnames of Jessie J.
Joyner, Albert E. Ayscue, Willie
Glenn Macon, Sidney Burnett, Char- 1
jles David Ellington and Henry Nath
janiel Strickland, "D" Company's no
ible six from Franklin County who did
not return, have been taken and form
|ed into the word "JAMBES," which is
I the name, of the post. This is the
{legion's monument in the hearts of
j their comredes, to the memory of
j those who are still sleeping beneath
j the poppies on Flander s field.
r The object of the organization is to
uphold and defend the constitution of
:the United States of America; To
? maintain Law and Ordci ; Tu foBtCT
land perpetuate a 100 per cent Ameri
[ can torn ; to pregeryg the memories an<t
linci ti nts OT -our association in the
-?rrevit'-wfr: -To iiwirtniW a deeper
--sense? of? imHvtthttrf? obligation --to "The"
^community, state and nation; To ma
,ke RIGHT tire master of MIGHT; and
j to consecrate and sanctify our com
radeship by our devotion to mutual
. helpfttljrfcss.
! ? Tilt' POM lb IHIMUUB to enroll aj laf
gc membership as possible STTfl espec
ially invite all ex-service men who are

Christmas with its joys , cheer and preva
lent good will, to arouse in us a sense of
the appreciation due patrons of this paper. __
In our hearts arid minds are gratitude and
good thoughts for you during every day of the
year; but Christmas hallows our sentiments
and makes their expression fitting and timely .
Such as we have accomplished and such
good as may be traceable to our efforts would
not have been possible without your sustaining
poper and co-operation. If in any sense we
have upheld a beacon, you have supplied oil
for the lamp. If ours has been a chariot,
yours has been the motive element which has
kept it on its way.
All characters appealing to or endeavoring
to entertain the public , must be given a certain

applause comes in the interest which readers
manifest in its columns and in an occasioned
word of approval. The practical help of sub
scribers and advertisers has enabled us to

the full degree of its bountifulness. May you

and benefit from these columns that we have
derived from making them.
