Marks Epoch in History.

The reunion of the fighting men
of Lee, Longstreet and Jackson in
the capital city will mark epoch in
the nations history. The coming
of the men in gray at this time of
preparation for great and uncertain
eventualities gives 2 new meaning
to patriotism, and will inspire the
youth of the land with that noble
spark of devotion and self-sacrifice
for which the Confederacy fought
and died. The length and breadth
of historic Pennsylvania Avenue re-
sounded last night with the drum
beat of '6l blended with the trum-
pet calls of II. Old Glory decorat-
ed every gray uniform and was
carried aloft by hands that once
bore the STARS and Bars The
fierce Rebel YelI'' mellowed into
the Star Spangled Banner, and the
voices trembling with hardships of
the greatest domestic war of history
sang the praises of My Own
United States -
I am overcome with delight and
satisfaction at the way every thing
is conducted. Washington certain
ly is giving fine welcome to the
veterans of years ago, and at this
reunion in the capital city of this
great country of ours, | have been
deeply Impressed with what my eyes
saw and my heart felt while there,
which made every beat of my heart,
and every throb of my pulse, and
every drop Of blood that courses
through my veins take on new life,
and left me tinctured afresh with
renewed patriotism and courage.
In the name of God, we will set up
our banners!

companied by the board members,
march them to the station to en-
train.
There final verifcation of the list
will be made and if any man of the
selected number is missing, an
alternate will be sent forward in his
place.
twill be the duty of the COM
maDder Of each party to see that
none of his men are left behind at
any station, that all are fed regular
ly and!that no liquor is furnished to
them en- route. When within six
hours of the camp, he will file a
telegram to the camp adjutant
general notifying him of the time
of arrival. Immediately upon the
departure of the train, the local
board will send a similar message.
To Meet Emergencies.
Every precautlon has been taken
to meet any emergency in advance.
Should train be delayed by accident
the commander of each party will
have proper telegraph blanks to re-
port the fact to the camp adjutant
general and ask instructions.
After the departure of the levy

an explanation and a recommends
tion as to his degree Of culpabillty.
Arrived at the camp, the party
will undergo final physical examin-
alton by army doctors. If any are
rejected the local board will be notl-
fled and an alternate sent forward III
each such case. The net quota of a
board will be regarded as filled only
when the full number of men called
for have been finally accepted.
Provision is made also for a
strict accounting as to quotas be-
tween the Federal government and

instance and between the adjutants
and the local boards in the second.
Reports to show the standing of
such accounts will be filed every
ten days until every quota has been

I to get ready for the troops. Some
one said as we were sitting near
some of the men: Just hear the RS
rolling around among those men"-
but that isn't anything to what 1t
Will be when all those soldiers come
in. What are we TO do when all
our young men are sent off? Why,
our country is sparcely settled with
white men now, and all are at home,
and when all those who have been
drawn have to leave, we will be IN
sad predicament-at the mercy OF
so many colored men-we hope
they will behaye as we'll as their
forefathers did, during the Civil
War, and help those who are left
at home to make an honest living.

nave noS oeen able to give you
any news from our little community
for quite awhile. Was very busy
canning and preserving fruit for
the winter, also attending great
revival meeting that was being held
at Horns Creek by Rev. Brooke of
Johnston, having added to the
church IA new members.
How we farmers are in need of
rain, as the cotton has begun to
drop its squares, and that hurts, at
the present price of cotton.
We see that President Wilson is
still calling for more of our brave
and gallant boys for soldiers to go
to the front. How our hearts ache
with pain, when we think of our
nation having to shed blood before
the Germans will surrender and fall
back on their own soil.
MIR. Sam Mays, Jr., the son of
Mr.. S. B. Mays, left Sunday night
for Columbia to join a company
that is soon to sail for France.
We were glad to see such large
crowd attend services at Horns
Greek Sunday afternoon. Our pastor
Rev. Joe Gaines reached a
grand sermon, mostly to the new
ones that had just given their hearts
to God, and he told them that they
would find many stumbling blocks
in their paths Of righteousness, but
he begged them not 20 fall back in
the paths of sin again. After.which
we were asked to assemble at the
Belts pond where we witnessed the
Baptism of eight. They consisted
of Miss Lucy Zimmerman, Mr.. Bud
and Henry Bryan, MIR. Ben Suili-
van, Mr.. Willie Philips, Mr.. Frank
Bussbee.
This Horns Greek Missionary
society was beautifully entertained
by NJ N aiiE on last Ssatarday
Iafternoe on. 1t Isl al ways a great
pleasure to the society to have the
privilege TO gather in such a sweet
and hospitable home.

on which they went 200 miles in 4
hours, while others were almost i'm
passable. They also visited the boil
weevil section of Georgia. Every
thing went along smoothly while on
the trip. They did not SO much as
have puncture.
MIR. and Mrs. J. N. Fair, are
very happy this week by having
with them their two children, and

Sam Fair of Pleasant Lane.
Mr.. Warren Fair, who is a guano

Belvedere, spent several days last
week with his sister, Mrs. John
Mays.
Mr. Ernest Ryan, accompanied
his little brother Edward to Angus
ia Saturday, returning on Monday,

ignores work OF her sex"
The second read:
I'VE press our demand for the ballot

the highest good of every citizen, for
the safety of the republic and as a glori-
Gus example to the nations of the earth" !"

half of its people is of far more vital
consequence to the nation than any or
all other questions" the third stated.
The fourth blazuned forth the follow

ments derive their just powers from the

There is no theory about the benefits
derived from Plant Juice, the new herbal
stomach remedy. Every day local people
are coming forward with statements re-
lating the great benefit they have re-
ceived.
Recently the signed testimony Of Mrs.
y. Rabbit, OF No. 1912 ''N" street. NV,
a well-known and popular Washington
lady, was received. She said:
For several years ! have suffered with
stomach trouble and an Impoverished
condition Of my blood; my circulation was
very poor, and 1 always felt tired and
worn out; my food fermented IN my
stomach and gas formed. l had awful
pains after I ate anything, and dreaded
to take food into my STOMACH; l was so
nervous that I could never sleep al
night, and my liver was badly deranged
which made me very dizzy at times; my
kidneys were affected and 1 had taken
all kinds of medicine, but nothing gave
me any real beuefit until I started to
take your Plant Juice. That seemed to be
the medicine that / needed, for il toned
my entire system up and made a new
woman OF me. / eat and sleep well. and

say too much in praise of your Plant
Juice for what 1t has done for me. My
husband is taking II also for his stomach,
and thinks Il is ine."

of the liver and kidneys and restores
them to normal condition.

G. v. u. RENEWS WORK
To GET STUDENT ARMY
Have to Muster Minimum of 100
Recruits"

Renewed efforts to establish a course
in military science at George Washing
ton University are being made by the
student Council at the institution. A
committee, composed of William Stayton,
chairman: Watson Davis, and John ).
Bixler, has been appointed to assume
charge Of the movement.
At the beginning of the collegiate year
efforts to establish such course and
form at the university branch of the
Reserve Officers Training Corps were
made, but the project was abandoned be-
cause of the inability of the promoters
to muster the minimum Of 100 students
required by the War Department
Because OF the renewed interest due
TO the international situation, 1t is be-
lieved that the required number now can
be easily obtained. When the project
was abandoned, only about thirty-ive
additional students were needed
University officials favor the project
and are eager that it succeed.
