LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, July 23.-We
have had a good ram in this section
since my last letter and it came in a
good time as the growing crops were
in need of it and the farmers had
their crop work up and was ready to
receive the rain. Some have laid by
while there are others that have some
plowing to do yet as there is a great
deal of late planting of corn and cot
ton. That will cause some late plow-
ing.
Well, the war is still on and there
are four young men to go from this
neighborhood and they are in calling
distance of each other. These are
Messrs. T. B. Gault, w. G. White,
Perry Vinson and Arthur Plexico.
They belong to the Coast Artillery at
Jonesville and have been ordered to
report at Jonesville on July 25th by
order of their captain, F. M. Ellerbe,
in whom these boys have great con-
fidence in as their captain and leader.
These young men have the sympathy
and prayers of many good people and
also for the whole company wherever
they may go.
