The Gall of the Spring. NEW HOPE, NEW ENERGY NEW HATS MISS SILER & CO. Invite you to their first showing Friday and Saturday March 8 and 9 I ing it I like to know what ia going on in old N. C. and I often think of my dear old home and friends back there. i I left Wayneaville in 1913 and went I I to the state ox wBhmirton. I re- turned to North Carolina in 1915 and was there only a short time when I decided to come west again. I came to the state of Orearon and have been here ever since. In September, 1917, my wife and little daughter went hack home again to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. L. Walls. Mr. Walls was very ill at that time. Mrs. Lusk returned to Oregon again Jan uary 2, 1918. She reports a nice time while back there. While I have been in Oregon have been working in timber. There is plenty of work out here and there seems to be a great demand for working men. Wages are good. Let us all be working now. for our help is needed in some way while our na Ition ia calling. Let us all try to do oar best to help win the war. Let us not foivxt our dear boy who are now in France; also the ones here in train ing camps, for we all hone the U. S. boys will lick the Kaiser. The Depot Barber Shop has been moved to the First National Bank Building and will hereafter be known as The Massey Barber Sbcp Good Service Always , P. V. Massey, Dennis Massey Have you heard the sturdy trams Of the host just off for camp? Have you seen the bovs in bran of Uncle Sam? Did you see them march erect? Did you show them due resnect? Do you know they were not march ing just for sham? Correspondence GREENHILL CEMETERY FROM CAMP SEVIER Camp Sevier, March 3, 1918 Dear Mountaineer: I hardly know how to start my letter this week as most all the han penings in and around camp are the same every day. Claude McClure reports that he and Sam Jones went to Sunday school out at Sandy Flat church this morn ing. Co. C of the 113th Machine Gun Battalion is assigned to the 115th Machine Gun Battalion and the old Co. H boys who are in that company say they are glad to get back with the old Tar Heels. Old Co. H boys are slowly getting back in talking distance. We are more like a fam fly of brothers who have been sep arated. When in Town get your lunch here. A good meal at a low price. We also handle groceries. Your trade appreciated. Whitehouse Cafe J. R. Whitehouse, Prop. Depot Street I understand Sergt. Thomas Lea therwood has gone to France and Sergt. Lawson Allen is going to Camp Wadsworth, near Spartanbursr. Mr. John Cabe, of Canton, was vis iting Camp Sevier Saturday. We all listened eagerly to the won derful stories Mr. Dewey Noland had to tell us after his visit to Haywood. Claude and Robert were verv suc cessful on their kodaking trio last Sunday, so lok out some one. for they have some wonderful pictures to send you. James R. Davis went horseback riding this evening. We all hope he isn t very sore tomorrow, as a week's soreness generally follows our horse back trips. I am glad A. Bird, on Big Branch, enjoys my letters; I certainly enjoy tne letters written by all the cor respondents. The only time I get to write is on Sunday. As it is getting dark I must close for this time. I am in the 29th tent. and we haven't any electric lights yet, so I am writing by candle lio-ht. Much success to all. LeROY WILLIS.

And then go up the driveway (which looks exceptionally good under sur rounding circumstances), looking about you all the while, and notice now beautiful the world looks from up there, and how pretty the ceme tery would look if it had half a chance, and then, by all means, come flown by way of the foot path along the fence, which path, by the way. has been for a generation and more reo ognizea as one of the public ap proaches to our city of the dearf and when you get to the foot of the hill, stop and look back at the whole thine- again and see what you think of it The truth is we have looked at it so oftpn and an Inner ffiof wa J - ' ' av..Q U'H V TT , 11U L DCt Grocery I it as it is.
