WORD FROM THE ANGUS
FAMILY AT GOLD VINCENNES"

Vincennes, Ind, Oct. 14.-Editor
Herald: For real motor car country,
Mr.. Sherman, you should come down
here. For four miles out, on every
road from Vincennes, are paved roads
and through the country you find ideal
crushed rock roads. The motorists
here hardly know what tire chains are.
II the tires don't give 5000 to 5000
miles they send them in for adjust
ment. Tires on any car are expected
to give from eight to ten thousand
miles OF service.
We covered over 600 miles in three
and half days on our trip from Ian
caster to Vincennes. Had two pune
lures and one blowout While travel
ing through Wisconsin we averaged
about II miles per hour Through II
linois we averaged exactly 19 miles
per hour and thu Ough Indiana "a. So
Oy that you have a fair idea of the
roads.
The weather has been wonderful
since we have been here. Last Friday
evening was the only day when per
son needed dress coat. Then the
wind was blowing from the north and
the air was little chilly Other days
you see nearly everyone in shirt
sleeves.
Farms through this country are
worth on the average $500 per acre
Of course that also takes in a consid-
cradle amount Of fruit orchards on
these farms. Out of Vincennes about
six miles is a farm of 100 acres that
has nothing upon it but apples, and
here you surely see some wonderful
sights. There are also several peach
par and pecan groves.
Vincennes is a wonderfully up-to-
date city with every modern improve
ment. Large, we'll equipped schools
predominant through the state.
One of the largest coal mines in the
United States is situated about seven
teen miles from this city. The mine
is named the American" and it ships
between $4,000 and 100000 tons of coal
every day.
Please hurry up and send The Her
aid. You missed us last week and
without it the family is not complete

Several shots were fired but neither

Jackson under arrest and confined him
to the city Jail to await instructions
from the state prison authorities, who
will doubtless see that his parole Is
cancelled at once.
Jackson was convicted in Goldfeid
several years ago for the killing Of
messenger boy, which appeared to
have been entirely unprovoked, and
for which he was given life sentence
in the penitentiary. After serving
eight years the board of pardons saw
fit to turn him lose on the public that
he might have an opportunity to

scarcely known one another except In
school; for while he was the son OF
poor farmer. she was the daughter
OF shopkeeper in the town. and.
moreover. she was the prettiest girl
in the locality. Prosperous youths
from surrounding villages paid court
to her: the farmer boy had never
dared to aspire to her hand.
Then the war came. and the farmer
put on his uniform. took up his rife
and went to the front. He was wound
ed three times. but each time was able
to go back. Then, at the Aisne, in
the summer OF 1916, he was mutilated
by hand grenade when on night
raiding party headed for the German
lines. He lay in No Mans Land for
twenty-six hours, until the follow
ing night. when his comrades crept
out TO the shellhole just in front of
the enemy barbed wire entanglements
where he lay, and carried him back
to the French lines.
He lived through il, to the surprise
of the surgeons who attended him.
News OF his mutilation reached his
home town. and few weeks ago he
received letter from Mile. Marguer-
tie Lavenue. just twenty years old and
the belle of the village, telling him
that she had heard of his misfor-
tune, that his duty for France was
finished, but that hers had just be-
gun, Il he would consent TO marry
her.
Sergeant Georges Roy, himself only
twenty-three, was stunned at the pro-
posal. He could not believe it was
true until she came to Paris, to the
great hospital located in the Grand
Palais on the Champs Elysees, and
told him she meant it. They were
married soon afterward in the Church
of Saint Pierre de Chaillot, and then
took honeymoon trip to the south
of France.
George Kessler, the champagne
manufacturer, and Mrs. Valentine
Webster, widow of an English officer
killed early in the war. are carrying

Belgian and British soldiers. And ii
is from their fund that Sergeant Roy
and his bride went on their honey
moon. And from the same fund, Mr..
Kessler has purchased home in Nor
mandy for the blind, armless soldier
and his bride. They are going down
to the country in a few days.
Mr.. Kessler and Mrs. Webster are
going to continue to look after the
couple and already Roy has been
