To Our Soldier Boys

We love our flag and our country,
And we love our soldier boys
too.
We love them for their bravery
And because they are loyal
and true.
And when they are on the battle
front
Fighting for what is right,
And we are here at home
Praying day and night.
Praying that victory may come
soon,
And they all come back home
again,
Then, we will love them all the
more,
Because they have been brave
men.
Hail! to our soldier boys,
The bravest in the land.
Wen help you with our prayers
and words
And we'll help you with our
hand.
Remember boys, where'er you
60
Whether on land or sea,
Well keep you ever on our
hearts,
Praying for victory.
And when the victory you have
won,
And peace is sounding joys,
Well lay great loving laurels
At the feet Of our soldier boys.
Mrs. R. L. Neubert.

Headquarters Company Departs


Yesterday morning was made
sad by the fact that it was then
that we were called on to say
goodbye to our soldier boys of
the Headquarters Co., End Miss.
Infantry, when they entrained
for Jackson, Miss, their training
camp. For "a days, 2 hours and
20 minutes most of these splen-
did young men, 65 in number,
had been here under the very
efficient training of Capt. R. W.
Briggs, who saw to it that they
had plenty to do along the line
of making them fit for the
service they have taken upon
themselves. Many of these men
came here as utter strangers,
but they go away loved for what
they have shown themselves to
be.
The City turned out almost in
mass to see them off, and be-
Isides there were quite a number
down from Tupelo to give them
a send off. Seldom, if ever, has
so many people visited our depot
to meet an incoming or outgoing
train, and all wanted to shake
lthe hand Of each and every man
in the company. There was no
speechmaking but a word of
cheer and encouragement or a
look still more expressive while
hand joined hand told them Of
the loyal hearts left behind and
assured them that the prayers
and best w is h es 0 f
the whole people follow after
them.
The last few days of their
stay here was crowded as full
of social events as their
duties would permit. Among
these was a reception at Mr.. and
Mrs. R. w. Chandler's where
Capt. Briggs met many of the
fathers and mothers Of his men.
Another delightful affair was a
concert at the college, Tuesday
evening when the soldiers re-
ceived the town people and
served light refreshments.
Later in the evening Comfort
bags were distributed to the
boys by the ladies and the
churches presented each with a
Bible. Besides many personal
gifts we made and others ex-
changed. All attesting to the
love and esteem held, not only
for our own town boys, but for
every member Of the company.
While in training here, they
conducted themselves as true,
chiyaIrous men, engaged in a
serious business voluntarially
undertaken and to be prosecuted
to a successful end. AS
such men, we know them; and,
as such men, we commend them
to others. The following is the
