The Soldier Boy.

Blessings on thee, little soldier boy,
With thy gun upon thy sholdier,
Over on the French's shore,
Looking to return no more.
Side by side each soldier walks.
Face to face each soldier talks,
Still they SEE each other drop
Blessings on the soldier boy.
But when they hear the guns roar
Then they think Of nothing more
Oh, but when the u. s. drops the bomb,
Upon the Kaiser and his son.
Then the war will all be over,
And we return to our homes
Where the stars and stripes flow
Over on the U. S. shore,

His many friends here will regret
to learn that letters received from
France by his wife name DR.. John
Morris as Missing and that there is
no evidence to indicate where he is.
The inference is that he has been cap
tured by the Germans and is being
held by:them az a prisoner Of war, The
list published by the war department
gave his name among the wounded in
the casualties Of March 20, but the let
ter from zone Of his superior officers
states that he is among the missing.
As. The Falcon understands the mat
ter, the County Democratic Committee
took no action in regard to nominating
candidates for district officers and left
the matter entirely in the hands Of the
district committeeman in the districts.
The Chairman and secretary of the
committee are not in town and it has
been impossible to get official word
from either recently, but it is thought
that the committeemanin each district
is left to call a mass meeting, primary
or whatever he sees fit to call for the
purpose of naming the nominees for dis
trict offices.
The fine rains of last week put new
life into all vegetable hfe in this sec
ton. Growth had been checked in all
vegetation by the continued drowth and
farm work was being held up in many
places by the lack Of moisture in the
ground. Every section of the county
was visited by good rains last Friday
night and work among farmers and

on the boom, with every thing being bent
toward getting the spring work done

est now all over the county.
G. Nj, Reames, postmaster at the
local postofice informs The Falcon that
each carrier from that office is now
provided daily with a supply of Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps to
supply such patrons of their routes as
do not find it convenient to come to the
postofice and banks to secure them. He
also asks that the attention Of other
postmasters be called to the possibility
of increasing their sales by this same
method. No means of increasing sales
should be neglected and the plan that
will help should be followed.
