C. c. FRIENDS: Uncle Frank Payne Woodbine,
Whitley Co. KY, has appended to us for aid. but
without success have been ask ed to investigate
and see if Uncle Payne WAS worthy of assistance,
which have done. and his postmaster and physi-
clan wrote me that lie was an honorable and up
right man, but was sick. and had been for some
time, and that his financial means were short. He
served three years in the service of his country,
where he contracted injuries which disabled him
for life. He cannot remain with us long, and shall
we, patriotic organization, let one of our MEM
bers suffer when we could easily help them? Dear
brothers and sisters send on your dimes, quarters
halves and dollars and let make the rest OF
Uncle Franks days happy. Loyalty. w. Cole,
Commander Kentucky Division, Benton, Ky.
REPLY TO FRANK.
Frank, I've found, IL seems to me,
Just the girl for yon;
She would ever faithful be,
A loyal Guard true blue.
school marm," she, by occupation,
She's past sixteen, but what of that;
There is cause for hesitation
For reason trifing that.
Her heir is like the ravens wing.
Her face like the lily fair,
And like the nightingale to sing
She Ia beyond compare.
But now, before talk of marriage,
A few things you should know
Ny lady must have horse and carriage,
Three servants and piano.
A seaside cottage she would like,
But yet would not insist on this;
But love in cottage, just for two
Why. surely, that would bring US bliss
If you would have me for your wife
just send The ring-a solitaire;
If we would share the joys of life
Make haste and close this bargain rare.
An Iowa Guard.
