There and Here
The fact that at this time Wilkes has not
reached its quota in' buying “E” bonds is
due to complacency on the part of many
people at home—a complacency which has
resulted from too little realization of the
sacrifices, dangers and hardships ex
perienced by fighting men.
Today we have before us a letter writ
ten by Pfc. R. P. Walker, who entered the
army from the Dennyville section of
Wilkes county in November, 1942. Pfc.
Walker, son of Mrs. Lillie Walker who now
resides in Parkville, Md., is a first gunner
in a machine gun squad and was in the
thick of the invasion of France. The letter,
which was written to his mother from
France, follows:
“At last 1 have a chance to let you all
know that I am all right. I am sorry I
didn’t get to write more often but I have
really been busy for the past two weeks
and yesterday was the first mail I have
had since I have been in France and I got
21 letters. That was really a morale
builder and my morale was pretty low. I
am so nervous yet 'till I don’t know wheth
er you c;an read this or not. I have been in
some mighty tough spots but by the help
of God I came through. I got to wash my
hands and shave today for the first time
since I have been over here. I have seen
quite a little of France and it is a country"
a whole lot like England. Hedges around
:he fields and ditches. They really have
some good-looking livestock over here. I
^0 ont and milk a cow once in a while to
get a cup of milk when I am not afraid to
go out in the field. I do lots of digging and
I stay close to my foxhole. I really love it
at times. I dug until both hands were
bli.stered and just kept digging.
The watch you all gave me is all right.

Pl>it-WAr\
Many wartime industries that are
important today will of necessity end wito
the war. Many war materials greatly in
demand today may be surplus goods to
morrow. But not pulpwood.
The Hahira Gold Leaf, of Hahira, Ga.,
noted this advantage of cutting pulpwood
in a recent editorial which said;
“We predict a still greater demand for
woodpiilp following the war when civilian
consumption can be catered to and better
prices may be expected as the supply
diminishes. .
“There should be no idle land m Geor
gia. Land not now in use for annual
crops should be planted in trees or put mto
permanent pastures. There is a wonderful
future for both crops and every civic and
publicity agency should join in urging the
enrichment of the state through these two
long term investments”.
The promise of a post-war development
of air-borne freight in which light-weight
packaging will be important alon^ insures
a large peacetime demand for pulpwood.
Many new military uses of pulpwood fibre,
developed since Pearl Harbor, will doubt
less be turned into civilian goods.
Pulpwood production not only pays well
today while helping our war effort. It will
pay well tomorrow while assisting in the
postwar industrial developments. But don’t
wait. Cut your suitable trees today; the
smaller ones will then grow faster for to
morrow’s market.

Buy Bonds Now
Efforts are being made to wind up the
Fifth War Loan in Wilkes this week.
The last report showed that a substan
tial number and amount of “E” bonds are
needed to put Wilkes over the top. Our
information is that if the “E” bond quota
of $227,000 is reached the overall quota
of $990,000 will be in the bag.
This is an appeal to the patriotic people
of Wilkes county to join in the campaign
and put it over. Those who have bought
to the limit in bonds can aid by encourag
ing others to buy.
One way to look at the situation is that
Uncle Sam needs your money now, and you
will need it after the war. Except for liv
ing expenses, there is little need for money
now, but there are going to be numerous
things you want to buy and things you want
to do after the war, and you will need mon
ey then and can use it advantageously.
And don’t forget that for every three
dollars you put into “E” bonds, you get
four dollars back in ten years. United
States bonds are the world’s safest invest
ment.
Get into the campaign today, either by
buyii^ bonds Jf you have the mopey, or by
selling to others if you don’t. • , ^
EVIL DOINGS
The man was churlish and evil in his do
ings”.—I Samuel, 25:3
Our text was spoken of a man by the
name of Nabal. He lived in Maon, and he
I had considerable possessions in Carmel. He
1 owned three thousand sheep, and a thous-
I and goats.
At this time David, who had been chosen
of God as king of Irsael, but who had not
taken the kingship as yet, was fleeing from
Saul; so he sent ten young men unto Naha’
with friendly greetings, saying, “Where
fore let the young men find favor in thine
eye.s; for we are come in a good day: give,
I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine
hand unto thy servants, and to thy son
David”.
Then Nabal answered David’s servants,
saying, “Who is David? and who is the son
of Jesse? there be many servants now-a-
days that break away everj' man from hi.s
master. Shall they take my bread, and
my water, and my flesh that I have killed
for my shearers, and give it unto men,
whom I know not whence they be?”
When David’s young men brought him
word concerning their cold reception, and
the cutting words of Nabal, he armed them
to go forth and take vengeance upon him.
However, as they went they met Nabal’s
wife, Abigail, coming to meet them with
her servants and asses loaded with provi
sions. Mrs. Abigail, a woman of good un
derstanding, and of a beautiful counten
ance, made intercession for her husband,
Nabal, also for herself and perhaps her
household. Her generous gift, her woman
liness, intelligence and beautiful counten
ance appealed to David’s heart, therefore
he refrained from carrjdng out his inten
tions. David said to her: “Blessed be the
Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this
day to meet me: and blessed be thy advice,
and blessed be thou, which hast kept me
this day from coming to shed blood, and
from avenging myself with mine own
hand”.
At this time we find that Nabal was cele
brating a feast in his house, and thpt he
was drunk on wine. However, when he
sobered up his wife told him about David,
and her adventure to meet him, and her
earnest entreaty. But when she hhd told
him these things “his heart died within
him, and he became as a stone. And it
came to pass about ten days after, that the
Lord smote Nabal, and he died.”
To make the story short, Mrs. Abigail
became the wife of David, which was in
perfect keeping with the will of God, so
far as we know, and later on David as
cended the throne as king. But let me call
your attention again to the evil doings of
Nabal
