An Old Timer Back ON a Visit.

We enjoyed visit yesterday morn
ing from an old time resident OF
Leon, and brother editor, Mr.. b.
Frank Knapp, Of Fitzgerald, Georgia,
who arrived in Leon Tuesday noon to
visit his sister Mrs. Mary Craigo, ana
many old time friends here. Mr..
Knapp was for many years a resident
of Leon in the early days, but had
not been here for twenty-five years.
He was a member of Capt. j. D.
Browns company in the Third Iowa
Cavalry, and Tuesday evening num-
ber of his old comrades called at the
Craigo home to visit him; Mr..
sknapp's wife died at Fitzgerald on
last Thursday, and he brought her
body to Des Moines for burial by the
side of their infant son. Mr.. Knapp
has only one child now living, a son
who resides in California, and he ex-
at FITZGERALD and 90 to California to
make his home with his son.

The Reporter editor visited Camp
Dodge at Des Moines for the first

of the camp was way beyond our ex-

our boys unless you know their COM
pany and regiment, and we only got
to see three Of the Decatur county
boys Sunday afternoon, as most of
them were In the city attending the
reception at the Hoyt Sherman Place.
We finally located the 33Sth Field
Artillery Barracks and found Bob
Scott the only man in the big builL-
ing we knew, later locating Robert
,Pullen, and they escorted us to head
quarters, where Corporal Ralph L.
Rumley, was just getting OF from
post guard duty of twenty-fOuf hours
They told US all the Decatur county
boys were well. and all seem to enjoy
army life We were taken through
their kitchen, dinin" room and sleep
ing quarters, and everything was
neat and clean, and the boys certain
1y have plenty to eat and 1t is good
food. Elsewhere in this issue we
publish whore the Decatur county
boys are located, and il you contem-
plate a visit to Camp Dodge, it will
be well for you to cut 1t out and take
1t with you, for twill be of great as
sistance in finding your friends.
