SOLDIERS LETTERS.
FROM SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE

D. L. Abbott of Springdale has three sons who are now in France with the American Expeditionary Force, and so far as known this is the only Springdale family with three representatives at the front A few days age Mir. Abbott received let ter from one of the sons, J. F., who is member of Battery E, 7th F. 4. The letter was postmarked "U. s. Army Postal Service No. 3, Dec. i, s p. m. , and emitting purely personal mat ters was as follows:
 "The letter l received was written sn November i You said for me to give the other two boys your regards. I haven't seen or heard of Ike since I came over here, but Tom and l are close together, and have been since we came over. You spoke about me not getting your letters guess have got all of them, but you know we have been on the front for some time, and LII IDAleS 8t ttffi ! 6fA%t At3A l1A1ift mail while We are at the front
 Well, we had some excitement while at the front We were there fourteen days. but t was some exper- fence l must say Papa, you spoke about the people Of the States feeling the war. just wish you could see the. people of France 1 am sure sor- ry for this poor country Ne have been over most of the country since we came over, and l don't believe there are fifty homes in France but what some very close relatives have been killed or wounded and many of them that are close to the front have had their homes completely destroyed by those big shells or bombs from aero planes. Many women are doing mems work Nearly every field you see has some old man who is all stopped and ready for the grave, and many old women the same way. Every young man you see Is in uniform. Just wait till we have four or five hundred thou sand of our young boys killed off, then the people of the States can real ize we are at war, but until that time they will never fully realize it.
 Of course we haven't had much cx- perience in real fighting, but we have sure had some training Well, Papa, I will go up and see Tom tomorrow and show him your letter, for we can't write just when We want to. but every time I get chance I will write to you So goodbye for this time.

OBITUARIES.
HENRY CALVIN JONES

In the onward sweep of time IL. harvest of our lives never stonq Ths blossom which is today may mt h known any more tomorrow. The Ett,s fragrance shed about us by those blo. soming lives adds to our iovs of+o. but for moment? The swift ona ruthless hand of the reaper is tbr,st into our ranks to gather them for tho other world. We look and lista, e. them again but it is in vain. They oo from whence they shall not return nor speak to us again. Then we stand and look out into the blank space-hoyering about this place of our habitation for something to fill the vacant nlaca ;, our lives. Then comes the voica of the ages and says They shall not ra. turn to us but We shall go to them
 Henry Calvin Jones, the little son of Jack and Maud Jones, was born Auo IT. 1915, and died Dec. 20. 1917. He was afflicted all of his short life. Rpt in spite of that he was one of tba brightest sunbeams I have ever seen in any home. The entire commupitv in which his parents live found pleas ure in the eheerfulness of his ways and the sunshine of his little face.
 On account of the fact that his mother was also afflicted during most of his life he was taken to the home of his grandparents, Mr and Mrs. Joe Sharp All that kind hands could do for him was done But in spite of that-his sufferings went on and the lit- tie fellow had to be given up.
 His funeral. in connection with that of his cousin, Lillian Downum was held at Spring Creek Church in the presence of a very large crowd of peo- pie Rev L. L. Johnson and Rev. W. l. Elledge conducted the service. It was one of the saddest we have ever had to do with
