Hendrix,s Message

"I understand that w. H. Hendrix,
 one of our beloved scribes who hit the
 trail last week and landed in Fort Oglethorpe in the ordnance department of the new national army, has landed
 on top,'' said Jeff Bailey, president of the Press club of which organization Hendrix was secretary.
 Persons Hendrix's room mate. re-
 ceived the following telegram from Hendrix: went through with flying colors, and I am resplendent in my new uniform CSigned) General Hendrix 7 And that message is typical of the old sunshine boy. He is as rough as pig iron, as gentle as lamb, as sympa- thetic as mother and as hard to | head as wild boar in a canebrake. I Consequently Hendrix will make great soIdier-Watch him do it..

Snow Pictures Great

Snow Pictures Great
 T have just returned from Anniston, where I spent several days in getting snow scenes of Camp Mcclellan" said M. w. Canister, the well known artist, engraver and photographer. and I certainly got some beauties.
 q took one with thousands of sol diers on the march through one of the camp streets that looks nightly like Napoleon's famous retreat from Mos COW. It Is hard to describe the beauty of the camp nesteled on the side of the mountains covered in mantle of white. I daresay it will be a surprise to the parents of the boys when they get copies of Camp Mcclellan magazine showing the ground carpeted with snow. It was novelty to many of the soldier boys of the north, who felt that they had come to the land of per- petual summer. The pictures will be the best answer to the sensational charges that were sent out from the camp when some of the first regiments from the north of the Mason and Dixon line reached the camp

It is an express sion of service in this unexampled, time--a symbol so instinctive that the Red Cross will glow from the win dows of our homes over the length and breadth of the land, sending out the Christmas message to the world, and telling not only the passerby, but our own hearts that just as our boys and men are finding new strength Tn their new sacrifices, so may we through our new service.

Son in Tours


 "A right strange thing happened yesterday morning." said Henry Bad ham.
 Frank Willis Barnett in his column, Men, Women and Things had a story alb out Mahomet and the Kaiser, and stated how Europe had been saved to Christianity by Charles Martel at the battle of Tours and turned the Sa racens, the followers of Mahomet, back to Arabia and Africa; and had just received a letter from my son Henry from Tours. where he is taking his finishing lessons in aviation under French instructors before being given active duty. I hope the allies will be able to hold in check the Hun invasion, and I believe the army of aviators are going to have their. part in it."
