MR. HENDERSON'S EXPERIENCE
The slight change in ownership of
this newspaper this week reminded
County Commissioner Henderson,
who was here the first of the week
that he also had some newspaper
ownership experience in Canton 30
years ago when he with about nine
others put in 100 apiece to start a
newspaper there. They employed a
man named Lanier as editor and
printer.
After a few months Lanier wrote i
a thrilling editorial on how the paper
was on a firm foundation and going
Strong. He then went - to Asheville
to celebrate the event in a manner
befitting the occasion. The spree
lasted three weeks and the issue
with the assuring editorial was the
last. The plar$ stood unsed for
years. All the stockholders got out
of it was a pile of wheat which had
accumulated by being brought in
subscription."

Whether It be the evening and Sun
day leisure hours in camp or the rest
periods of practice marches, the Y. M.
C. A. follows the soldier boys of Un
cle Sam wherever they go. Or, more
strictly speaking, it precedes them, for

when the first men in khaki reach the
camps and the "Y" tents are always
waiting when the tired fighting men
reach a lunch stop in thelKstrenuous
hikes.
Captain Stanley Borleska of Port
land, Oregon, an officer at Camp
Greene, at Charlotte, N. C, was a
member of the Michigan University
football and track teams in 1914 and
was picked as a member of the All
Star Western Intercollegiate team
that year. "When I tame into this
camp," he told Arthur Bagley. the "Y"
camp physical director, "I wondered
how I was going to keep in physical
condition. I saw no opportunity or
place to do any training. You Y. M.
C. A. fellows have sort of made op
portunities for me to recreate and ex
ercise, for since I have been here, I
have averaged three evenings each
week out with my company football
teams."

-After .leaving congress, "Private"
Allen retired from public lif- and hat

John Mills Allen was born in Tsho-
jningo county, Mississippi, July 8:
1846, and was educated in the rural
school. At the outbreak of the civil
war he enlisted in the Confederate
army and. served as a private four
years. This fact, his quaint stories of
army life and his fund of humorous
narratives which he used in debate j
on the stu-rrn) and in congress won him
note as a story teller and the sobri-1
quet of "Private" John Allen.
After the war "Private" Allen at
tended the law school of Cumberland
university, at Lebanon, Tenn.', and in
1870 he was graduated from the law
department of the University of" Mis

Dear Sir:
One of the Army Camps has sent
us a proposal for a bid on furnishing
them 2100 pounds of young, fat,
plump turkeys for Thanksgiving.
They wish birds weighing from 10
to 20 pounds each after being dry
picked, undrawn, feet, head
wings not removed.
If people having turkeys answering
the above description' can furnish
enough birds about Nov. '20th 'to
make up 2100 pounds we will submit
a bid that will return the turkey
raiser a good price for his birds.
We have a good chance to land the j
contract if we can get the turkeys
as we are now shipping this same
camp Irish potatoes and' they will
probably be glad to ..continue- order
ing from us; ' ' ,
If you have any onions and pota
toes for sale let us know about these
right away. Be sure to advise us
about how many pounds of turkeys:
you can furnish.
