A JACKSON COUNTY
BOYJN FRANCE
Dear Editor: I am one of the
boys who have been there and I
am sending you the following lines
for publication for the benefit of
folks at home, and especially to the
boys who have only seen service in
the States, but who think they
would have enjoyed a term on some
active front. I am sorry indeed for
them that they were so unfortunate
as to have had to stay at home.
The sound of shrapnel shells is any
thing butthe sweetest of music and
the mention of gas and machine
gun bullets, which they have never
besrd, even now brings back un
pleasant memories to my mind. No
doubt they think they have missed
somethingand they sure have, for
the show is over and they were
anient. Had they been along the
Meuse river for the few weeks pre
vious to the signing of the armistice
they would certainly have had the
opportunity to witness many things,
any of which would have changed
their minds.
I will tell about one thirty hour
period, ending at 1 1 o'clock, Nov.
11th. Firing had hardly ceased for
a minute of the time and as we
were moving forward for the attack
most of the Boche guns were trained
on our advancing columns and they
did not waste many shells getting
the range, as it was broad daylight
when we heared their first lines.
Many of the boys who went in that
day are now lying in lonely graves
in. France. Iaw many boys blocked
off with bursting shells. I sur&feel
. lucky myiejf . Bulm'oiriBe boys
bumped off in my battalion was
caused by machine gun bullets og
the last morning of the war. You
: boys at home may think you would
have liked a taste of War, but I have
seen a touch of hell, and there were
none near me who were not thank
ful when 11 o'clock came on that
eventful day; for not a gun was fired
after the hour. Almost immediately
the Boche came out to shake hands
and our time since then has been
a long series of hard hikes and
drills.- If you don't understand
about these hikes, ass your son or
brother. He can tell you.
Very respectfully
Sgt James C. Pangle.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
Whereas God in his goodness has
seen fit to call from our midst our
sister Mrs. Harritt C. Peek, wife of
B. M. Peek. She was born Feb. 2
1860 departed this life Feb. 12 1919
She -leaves a husband and five chil
dren and a host of friends to mourn
their loss.
She has been superintendent of
our Sunday School here at , Pine
Creek and also a teacher for a num
ber of years.
She was a devoted christian
1
woman and was loved by all who
knew her.
Be it resolved:
1. That in the loss of our sister
Mrs. Peek our Sunday School has
lost a faithful member and though
we shall miss her we will say "not
our will but thine be done."
2. That though she is dead she
is hot forgotten, may her life inspire
us to undertake greater things for
the Master.
3. While we the members of this
Sunday School realize our loss we
bow in humble submission to the
will of Him who doeth all things
well; we mourn but we do not mur
mur believing as we do that our
loss means gain to our departed
sister.
4. That our sincere and heartfelt
sympathies be extended to the be
reaved, family, that a copy of these
Resolutions be presented to the
family, another published in the
Jackson County Journal.

Trained Nurse!
Now Testifies
Says She Feels Made Oyer,
Since Taking Tanlac
-pip -
Mr. F. O 'Forrester, a trained
nurse residing at the Grand Central
Hotel, Denver, Colo , is but bnf of
this high profession who have testi
fied to the merits of Tanlac. Mrs.
Forrester recently said: . i
'1 had been in miserable health
seven years, suffering from indiges
tion. Lverytnmg l ate would sour
and even cold water ; would cause
me much distress. The pains in my
chest and about my heart were al
most unbearable at times and I suf
fered terribly from neuralgia. I
would have Vomiting spells laily
and for three months couldn't" re
tain a thing on my stomach but
oatmeal. Often at night I would
wake up feeling like I was smother
ing to death and would have to get
up out of bed and stand on my
feet awhile to get my breath.
"One of my friends who knew of
my awful condition and who had
been benefited by Tanlac advised
me to try it, I did so and my reli
has been remarkable. Really I feel
like I have been made over again.
I have already gained nine pounds
in weight and intend to keep . on
taking Tanlac as long as .it does me
as much good as it is now."
Tanlac is sold by all first class
druggists.
Mrs. Jesse L. Dillard entertained
a few friends Wednesday afternoon,
complimentary to Mrs. Jack Morris;
who leaves next Sunday for a visit
to her parents iniOregon After an
interesting contest delicious refresh
ments were served.

As I think of our dead heroes
these words come to my mind:
The hard fighing soldiers, their dan-
gers were great;
And many, while fighting, met
their sad fate. . . '
They were doing, their duty, as all
soldiers do.
Shut out . from nil pleasures and .
darling ones, too.
While they were fighting for those
whom they love,
The shrapnel that killed them came
from above.
They were only soldiers and fight
ing for liberty; -
They were brave soldiers but vnow
they are gone.
Just why they were taken no one
can tell.
Their fighting is over; poor soldiers,
farewell.
They Were always ready each com
mand to obey;
And looking to liberty, the only
true way.
God pity such soldiers and carry
them to rest.
And protect from all dangers with
your dear strong 'aim. ,
They will always be ready your
calls to obey; sh
And looking to Jesus, the only true
way.
They leave their companions and
loved ones, too, v
To mourn their deaths as all heroes
do. -" -
. . . ,. ,
God pity the -mother who mourns
for her son, C ;
And cause her . to rejoice for .. the
; good he has done.
Letms stand ready all calls to Obey,
And fighting for liberty, always' the
- true way. - -1,
