CAMP JACKSON LETTER

Editor States-Graphic, Brownsville,
Tennessee
Dear Sir:-I have been home on a
three days furlough, and want to thank
my friends who have shown me that
they care for the boys who are going
to defend their flag, their nation and
its ideals. The old country looks love-
ly to me, and yeti do not sorrow be-
cause / have returned. And this
brings me to question that some have
asked; namely: isn't camp life just
awful?" In reply say, most emphat-
/ ically, "It is NOT. The man who
squeals is the fellow who has been
petted-who feels himself too good
take hold on mans job. The manly
men is all right hert-but OF course
it is not place for babies.
Again l was asked if did not hate
to go back. Aagin l say NO.
! love home and tho people there; at
the saue time l fee that the home
folks expect me to do something. |
sometimes think ! have been fort
unate in living in the community where
the most of my life was spent, Those
reople are patriotic at hesrt-they
!, have inspired me u hope for splendid
Eaings. Mhcn thny write me, they
don't say "We are weeping and pining
for YOU" ono, They ere too big and
fine for that Thev write eco to it,
we are expecting big things, and we
believe in you That makes q fellow
feel like a man, /.
I Before came here the flag was
more Of sentimental symbol than now
1t has become an object of real affec-
ton, the symbol of great and noble
Neonle. Ard when ] look upon it now
think of the folks at home-of the
great American people and of their
future; and | thank God that my
country has selected me to defend that
flag along with these other splendid
young fellows.
have heard people say "What
! fine lot of bodies; what a splendid
sight" l have thought "Yes, and if
you knew what fine hearted lot they
are you would feel more deeply the
compliment you pass unthoughtedly"
These men are the flower of the ma
ton; they are not buns. They have
hearts, very tender ones think. They
have homes and friends-but above all
they have the honor to bear that flag
before the world. That means a great
deal to US.
Ny captain, John L. Teeny, is a cour
ageous, moral man. He has not ex-
pected more than we ought to do, but
he has taught us the meaning of priv
ilege in duty, and inspired us with the
ambition to meet the national demand
for higher and more courageous man
hood,
In returning to camp | realize that
we have duties more urgent than let
ter writing. Then. too, it would be inn
possible to write all the folks we love
and like. But | feel that / ought to
say that Haywood county boys are
standing with the best-and there are
many in the army now We may not
sit about the fires with you on Christ
mas day-but our hearts will be there.
We know you will not forget US in
your prayers. We shall not forget you
and what you expect when the day
comes to go down to battle And when
you pray for us say "give them the
strength so to live that their end will
not be other than Haywood county and
their nation would have"
| thank you, Haywood and Browns
vile for what you have done for me.
| extend sincere affection to everyone
of you. Good bye Good luck,
Your friend,
BOB ROCKS.

people of earth! France who shed her

and when that time is now! France is
now fighting world war, a war for
universal freedom. Having pitted her
whole force against Prussian Unjust
ice and oppression she is still fighting
for us and for all. She now stands
with tattered rags wrapped about her
emaciated, war-torn body, asking
America for food and fuel that she
may live.

Making Approaches
to Ferry Landings

While the foot passengers from
across the river are making use Of the
old bridge. work is actually under
headway az the old ferry landing ON
this side of the river between Court
and Chemekcta streets and with 0rdi-
nary fair luck there will be a quick
passage across the river within two
weeks.
On the PAIR county side. the road
way across the Pinckncy land and the
bridge approach 10 the landing across
the draw is well under headway. and
workmen are busy completing the
work.
On this side of the river, four teams
will be busy tomorrow carrying away
the dirt for the roadway. A wharf or
landing will be built on this side large
enough TO accommodate the ferries of
Captain Mitchell and that of Skinner
and Bushnell. A roadway about II feet
wide will be cut through the bank to
the bank TO the landings. Two will be
erected, one for low and the other for
high water.
Both ferry boats will work from this
landing and will use the same landing
on the Polk county side. Bushnell and
Skinner already have their barges
ready at Independence to be brought
here as soon as the roadway and land
ing is completed
II is understood that as soon as land
ings are built, there will be a ten min
ute service across the river with the
two ferries running.
Anyhow, work is actually being done
on both sides of the river to build sat
isfactory landing and the prospects are
actually encouraging.

Once upon a time Ned had been sick
with scarlet fever and when he was
we'll enough to go out Of doors. the
doctor directed that he should stay out.
It was pleasant. Ned didn't think it
very much fun to play all alone and
his mother would often find him sit
ting reading instead of being out in the
yard playing.
When his father came home one night
yard looking very lonesome he knew
something must be done to keep the
boy out n amused as we'll. So after
dlnne his father called Ned to him
and said: Ned, how would like like
to have a garden out in the yard and
Ned laughed and said: "Td like it but
nothing would grow now, It's too early"
Il think I can fix hat If you will
promise to care for the garden and do
all OF the work." replied his father.
