 ing been born and reared here. How young she seems, yet she told me she had reached the grave age of 17; had
 completed the Birmingham school sys-

 her to be excused from 20 examina-
 tions and with never a tardy mark against her in the whole II years. She also told me that just for fun she concluded to get a teachers cer- tificate last July, which she did, re- ceiving a second grade.
 Wisdom is in the speech of this flower faced maiden, who said to me: Dear Miss Hattie, with a university degree the world is mine" Yet she seemed to me with her youth, her vi '
 vacity, the bright color coming and
 going in her face, more like con
 queror of hearts than of worlds.

 Mrs. H. B. Phillips did not forget or overlook her Tribune obligation and advanced her time one year, Tuesday. Mrs. Phillips told US their son, Kirby, who has railroad employment at We'll ington, Kan, was getting along nicely holding an exceptionally good position for boy of his age.

The children are Mrs. C. c. O'Neal, Mrs. Essie Stevens and Herbert ShibIey, Green Forest, Mrs. Leslie Owens, French. N. Mex, James Shibley, Berryville and Mrs E. k. Sitton, Dardanelle.
 After their marriage in December in Crawford county. Mir. and Mrs. Shibley came to Carroll county in August and have continuously resided heres since, having homesteaded the Shbley farm south of town. the patent of which was signed by President Chester A. Arthur
 In the early days of his residence Mir. Shibley taught school. along with inn proving his farm, but finally drifted into giving most of his attention to fruit and fruit growing, which at that time was prof only for the family and neighborhood use, but Mir. Shibley lived in the fond anticipation of rail road coming into this portion of the country some day and he would then profit on his investment and we are glad to say his anticipations were real lzed and perhaps far exceeded. From different business vacations Mir. Shibley has travelled over much of the country, but he says no place but Green Forest, Carroll county, Ar kansas for him.
 MT. and Mrs. Shibley are hale and hearty and wear plenty of roses on their cheeks which suggests to us that their diamond wedding anniversary is assured

You have killed and robbed the people of friendly nations and de- stroyed their property You are liar. hypocrite and a buffer of the high est magnitude. You are part of mine and yet you pose as personal friend of God. Ah, Wilhelm, you are a wonder. You wantonly destroy all things in your path and leave nothing for coming generations.
 Il was amazed when 1 saw you form partnership with the impossible Turk, the chronic killer of Christians, and q devout worshiper in the Lutheran church. 1 confess. Wilhelm, you are a puzzle at times. A Mohammedan army commanded by German officers, assist ing one another in mas sacring Christi ians is new line of warfare. When PrusSan officer can witness nude woman being disembowled by swarthy Turk, committing a double murder with one cut of his saber, and see house full of innocent Armenians locked up, the house saturated with oil and fred then my teachings did not stop with you but have been extended to the whole German nation. I confess my Satanic soul grew sick and there and then l knew the pupil had become the master. l am back number, and my dear Wilhelm, 1 abdicate in your favor. The great key of hell will be turned over to you. The gavel that has struck doom of damned souls since time began is yours. 1 am satisfied with what I have done; that my abdication in your favor is for the very best interests of hell-in the future 1 am at your ma jestv's service.

Jacksonville, Fla. Dec. 4th, 1917. Mrs. Margie Smith, Editor Tribune, Green Forest, Ark.
 Dear Mrs. Smith:-As per my prom ise will try to give you an outline of my work to date. While I was stu dent at Fort Ogelthorpe, Ga., did not have time to write as we had drill two or three hours daily and between drills we had lectures and quiz which kept us employed all the time from 5 a. m. until 9 p. m.
 The course at Fort Ogelthorpe is a three months course but by some freak of luck got thro in three weeks and was ordered to this place for duty at the hospital as Junior Sur geon. I feel that have been one of the lucky ones to get so nice a place as this, for the work is great and will be better as soon as the camp is com pleted. This is a new camp for the training of quarter masters and the enlisted personnel of Medical Depart ment We will have as soon as the camp is ready, 10000 men.
 This is an ideal climate and supposed to be below the frost line. Flowers are in bloom and vege- tables growing in the gardens. We have the .Yiynolia and the evergreen

 Well the same thlng happened to my company, the 2nd Kan. M. G. Go. as did to the 2nd M. of Ark. we were consolidated with the 1st Kan. NJ. G. Co.,, making the 137 M. c. Go. which at first spoiled the efficiency of both companies, i. e., to hear everyone talk, but they have got over all that now and we are all the 137th from Kansas now instead of 1st and 2nd Kan. Go. We have all buckled down to the war game and pulling on the same rope which every one hopes will put an end to the Kaiser.
 This was my day to get the Tribune but 1 have failed for some cause or other. Maybe 1 will get it tomorrow. I always sit right down and read it through before stopping but I often find that there are no items from Blue Eye nor Maple and 1 never find any from Oak Grove. As I live near Oak Grove 1 would like to see some items from there in the paper.
 Well I must close. You may wonder why 1 have not written something about our camp, well the military authorities see fit to prohibit any one from writing anything about the camp and there is an order on the bulletin board to that effect. But will say that liked my camp on the Border last year mnch better than Camp Doni- phor and like this place so we'll that 1 hope how soon they will take us away from here. Yours Respt.,

am well pleased with everything, but the change from civil life to the army is a complete transposition. For in- stance, when man is severely wound- ed in civil life he is given all the atten- tion of some surgeon. But in the army we are taught to attenl to the slight ly wounded first so as to get them back on the battle line as soon as possi- be. And a great many other things are different.
 1 thought when left home as many others did, that the government was slow in doing things, but have changed my mind on that. If you could see the things that are being done you would be surprised It is wonderful. All seem jolly and appear to have nc care, but there is grim determination seem to wear off. And the beauty of it is that it won't wear off until we re- turn victorious. l may be optimistic but 1 believe that we will win next year, late.
 This will probably not interest you much so l will complete the chapter by saying that I am well satisfied with my lot and wish you and all my friends Merry Christmas and all the joys of life. Your friend,
