Mr. and Mrs. 7. Lee Banks have heard
several times from their son, w. Grove
Banks, who was in the first draft OF SOL
diers sent from Jefferson county TO Camp
Lee, near Petersburg, Va. He says that
he is quite well satisfied with camp life,
and intends 10 do his full duty as SOL
der. The men are kept busy with the
drilling and other camp duties, but they
are thriving on the work and are getting
accustomed already to the new life. We

very great change from his ordinary
course OF life, he is making the best OF IT

has gotten his new uniform and intends
10 wear il with honor.
We are glad TO report this spirit among
the Jefferson county men. They are fine

Of his day a "companionable" author.
We have had some greater writers

being almost passionately glad to know

That is partly because of his singu-

Or if instead Of writing on far island
"lost IN an idle main" he had penned
