A Good Pastor Going, One
 of Like Kind Is Coming

It becomes necessary in the lives of us all that at some time we part from friends that have grown dear to us, friends that we have learned to love, friends that it has been a pleasure to work with and be associated with; this is the condition that confronts us when we have to say goodbye Brother Lark, his good wife and two lovable girls; we love them for the interest they have taken in their work, for the interest they have taken in us as a people and for the many kindnesses they have shown. We can say with all candor that we are losing a real Pastor, one who has taken great interest in all phases of Church work, who has always been there, " who stood for the best of every thing for his peo- pie, and we appreciate the CO., operation of his good wife, who has been a helper in all things pertaining to the Church interest and while we lose them for awhile, we know those who re- ceive them will benefit by our loss and we heartily commend them to the good people of He Der Springs.
 And as we lose, we also gain, we weep with those who leave and rejoice with those who are coming in the persons of Bro. J. R. Nelson and his good wife who are so we'll known to us all to need no introduction; our hearts are open, our hands stretched out to them in loving welcome, remembering their pleasant stay with us and we are so glad to get them back again, our memory is full of their loving kindness and we rejoice to know they will be with us. and should they love us only a small part of what we are ex- pecting to shower upon them then we will feel that they will consider themselves fortunate in coming to McCrory. May the blessing of Heaven rest upon those who go and those who come. ONE OF MANY.

HEADQUARTERS Company "A" 154th. Infantry 39th. Division, Camp Beau
 regard, Louisiana.

Camp Beauregard, La.
 Nov. 28, 1917. Mr. w. w. Raney,
 McCrory, Arkansas. Dear Sir and Friend:
 A few lines to let you know that have not forgotten that you folk at home still want to hear from Company "A"
 Aside from a few cases of measles and humps the mem- bers of this organization are in the best of health. I have been told that quite a few of the folk at home were very uneasy, owing to the fact that a number of unbiased reports have been re- ceived there, as to the welfare of the home boys. Any such reports that are not true cause anxiety at home am sure and if these are continuously kept up, I am of the opinion that it will in time cause a censor of the mails even to our relatives for the Government does not want misleading statements relative to the health of our soldiers, sent out. Someway, that 1 do not understand, reports that are very untrue get out. l have in mind at present case that just happened yesterday. The father of one of the boys in this com pany wired to the Captain stat ing that he had just heard of the death of his son and to let him know if this were true and if so the cause of his death. Imme- diately the Captain sent the anxious father a telegram stat ing that his son was very much alive and getting along fine. This is just a sample of some of the false reports that get out. Reports that are not Official are not true reports and one may be assured that in such case as the above, that the proper authori- ties will make the proper re- ports concerning. I don't know Ii 1t has been reported that we nave or not but we have no men, lngltls in this Company. This mornings report showed that we have 234 men in this organi- zatlon. Our authorized strength IS 25O, making us due 16 men to Ill the company.
 Our company is doing some good work and there is a marked improvement in it's showing. I suppose that censor would pre- vent my telling you just what Klnd of work we are doing but su1hclent to say that we are earning some things that we

HAWAII TO HAVE
 TRAINING CAMP FOR
 RESERVE OFFICERS
Only One Hundred Candidates Will Be Selected, From The
 Residents of Islands
fASSOcidtcd PreSS)

HONOLULU, T. H., Aug 3.-A citi- zen's training camp. similar to the one at the Presidio, San Francisco, and others on the main land, is to be es- tablished on the Island of Oaho Or ders to this effect were received here yesterday by Brigadier General c.

AMERICAN SAILORS
 STICK TO COFFEE
(.AsSocidted PreSS)

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLAS, in British Waters, Aug. 3,-Black coffee is the popular drink with the men ov- CT here in Uncle Sams teetotal navy. Steaming hot coffee is always on tap on board the destroyers when they are out looking for submarines. The men say it not only keeps them awake but serves also as a stimulant and pro tector against the rigorous climatic conditions under which they labor. They have not yet carried on board ship the after noon tea habit which they have formed ashore and found such a satisfactory substitute for the use of alcoholic drinks.
 The vast majority of the men say they do not miss the absence of in- toxicating drink on board their ships. Those who want it can get it ashore from midday until eight in the even ing but for the vast majority the liq- uor saloons have very little charm. The record of the men as whole in this respect say their officers, has been one of the gratifying features of their stay here.
 The patrols, therefore, have very little to do but walk up and down the main street of the village in search of the trouble that seldom comes.

Y. M. C. A. DOING
 GOOD WORK IN FRANCE

LONDON, Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Viscount Bryce former British Ambassador to the United States, has written a letter to E. c. Carter, secretary for France and England of the Young Mems Christ
 ian Association, commenting the work of that organization among the soldiers of the Entente Allies and sug- gesting that the American association will be able to render the greatest possible service to the American ex- peditionary forces.
 Arrangements for the work of the American organization are we'll under way in both France and England, but definite and positive plans will not be completed until more is known of the strength of the American forces, where they will be located and when they will arrive. Meanwhile, the Young Mems Christian Association is doing everything possible to provide for comfort and entertainment of those American sailors and soldiers who al ready are in Europe
