Fifty Organs.

Mr.. John A. Holland announces
in his half-page advertisement on
our second page that he has pur-
chased 14O organs and SO of them
have been shipped to Edgefeld, This
is your opportunity to purchase an
organ. Better not delay. After these
are sold it is probable that no more
organs can be shipped to Edgefeld
until after the war. By purchasing
some months ago in such a large
quantity Mr.. Holland will be able
to make a closer price than any 9TH
e rdealer can. See him or communl-
cate with him at once.

Brave Cleora Boy Writes Inter-

Seas to His Mother
At Home.

My Dearest Mother:

My Dearest Mother:
Your letter of June End was re-
ceived and needless to say I am al
ways glad to hear from you all and
to kF5W that you are well. l am all
o. K.today.
Ithaye been off for a few days. l
am not with the company now but
1 get my mail there just the same.
Well, have certainly seen a great
deal since I have been over here.
Listen. I saw the first pretty girl yes
terdayEf have seen since have been
here, but am still loving the Ameri-
canfg girls best.
saw some pretty little towns yes
terday as I was coming in where l
stay, Mama, you ask me to tell you
something about the place where l
am but / can't write you how the
place looks for fear the enemy might
be able to get some information
about the place and for that reason
i can't, describe it.
I learned this morning that one
of my officers and 1 were school
mates. We went to school together
at the Corley place. Benjamin Creme
ker is his name. I did not know him
the first time saw him but believe
me Twas glad to find him out. have
not seen Walter Griffis and Billy
Byrd in about two weeks. I will so
over to see them as soon as l have
time
Well, certainly would like to get
a box from home but it is so far it
would not be good when 1 got it so
don't send anything to eat.
Ishad lot of trouble learning to
count this money over here. You can
have pocket full of it and then not
have much. AS for talking, 1 can't
do that at all-,just have to make
sif.ts, SO you know how often / visit.
{ sE' y !. gll hello for me and write

that one day. There are very few
green grocery stores as there are
with US for peddling the wares to
the lazy housewife. To the early bird
belongs the best there is, and the one
who doesn't get there in time is just
out of luck for the rest of the week,
until another market day.
Pm not so certain that I will set
continued good health. Florida is a
great place to those who live there,
but as for mine, give me good old
Georgia every time.
II'm not so certain that / will set
tie down on a farm when I get back
to Civilization. With cotton at 35
cents a pound, and food products so
high, it look TO me to be good buy
to get where you can raise what you'
eat yourself. If I do I'll come over
and get you to give me the prelini-
nary instruction into the art. The
farm used to be laughtd at, as a
place to hide yourself. The farmer
is the only man in the States at pres
ent who is living on sure basis. He
is producing that which he eats, and
and could live if everybody else went
crazy. But those in the cities who are
in business of one kind or another
would stop pretty quick if anything
should happen to shut off their source
of supply.
The only trouble with me is that
it will require ten horse farm to
raise enough to supply myself, and
there won't be anything left over to
sell at a high price to buy clothes
with.
When I spoke of getting married,
I didn't have any French girl in mind
for several reasons. For one thing,
they talk too fast for me. Another is
that I can't understand what they
say. 1t is all right, whatever it is, but
their language is such that they can't
understand themselves half the time
and they can't pronounce it correctly
to save themselves. Who ever heard
of the river "Was" (Oise)? I'll tell
you some more reasons when 1 see
you next. I don't IKE their style.
1 suppose you have heard a little
from 4Erdman of how things are here
with lme. They are the same, day in
fand day cut. have aboutsa Twelve
hour working day, which is all right,
since it is wartime, but ten hours a
day is enough for me. am commenc-
ing to agree with the labor unions,
that there is limit beyond which a
man should not be forced to work. l
don't think, however, like the revo-
lutionists do in Russia, that this linn
it should be fixed &C four hours a
day. That is a little too short.
l haven't seen anybody from home
since l arrived in france. l know
III disgrace myself WI n l do see
them. I understand that there are
lots and lots of the boys over here,
but, while I have general idea of
their location, that is about all l do
know. They are certainly some dis
tance from me. Perhaps we'll meet
at some day, even if it is in Berlin.
Well, old boy, must stop now. as
it is nearly supper time. l am going
to stay on the lookout for George,
and you let him know where l am.
I'll be here for another month or so,
and if you write him, he may be able
to locate me.
Kindest regards to yourself, your
wife, and father and he others that
l know in the neighborhood, l am
Sincerely,

SERVICE FLAG.
Eight Stars on Service Flag Of
Republican Church. Pa
triotic Address. In
spring Music.

Sunday was splendid day at Re-
publican. The weather was fine and
everything propitious. The services
consisted of morning meeting only,
everybody returning home at the din
ner hour.
The first interesting occurrence
was the meeting before entering the
church of the kind friends for whom
the trip was largely made, and then.
all the kindly greetings from many
in the church already gathered and
waiting.
The choir was ready and in place
when the service began and on the
pulpit platform was lovely flag,
"Old Glory" to give inspiration and
a feeling of protection and patriot,
ism.
Rev. Kesterson, pastor of the
church presided over the meeting
and read the scripture and led the
large congregation in prayer. The
choir sang enthusiastically and well,
appropriate selections adapted to the
occasion.
The speaker cf the occasion was
Hon. B. E. Nicholson, who addressed
most attentive audience, with a
speech full of eloquence, wise coun-
sci and new thought.
MIR. ]. L. Minis was also called up
on and made few remarks of pa.
triotic nature.
Miss Lucia Miller gave that e1o--
qucnt poem, Here Comes the Flag"
and at the close of this little Misses
Florence McKie and Robbie Ruth
Miller unveiled the flag, showing a
satin flag bearing eight stars, repre-
senting that many boys from Repub
lican church. One sailor boy, Willie
Lanham, was present to hear his
name called, the roll being called by
Murphy Miller and responded to by
Thomas Adams. The boys whose
names were called are d. T. and Har-
ttris Mathis, BE and ]. Robert Ad-:
ans, Willie, and j. Preston Lag
George Lawrence Miller and J..
E. Atkinson. The memebers of the
family stood as the names of the
boys were called.
Miss Minnie Lanham sang in a
very sympathetic manner, Keep
the Home Fires Burning" with or
gan accompaniment by Miss Sallie
May Miller who also acted as organ
ist throughout the service.
The flag was made by the ladies
of Republican church and was a
work of art.
Another interesting feature of
the program was duet by Napo-
leon and Jeter Kesterson about the
service flag, their father, the pas
tor, having composed the music.
The party from Edgefeld who
were so fortunate as to attend this
occasion, on invitation of M. and
Mrs. D. T. Mathis stopped and par
took of their gracious hospitality at
dinner, this family having boun-
tiful supply of everything raised at
home and the best watermelons in
the county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mathis have sent
their two noble sons into the army
as volunteers, Dr.. Harris Mathis be-
ing stationed at Camp Jackson, a
Lieutenant in the Medical Corps,
and D. T., who is a graduate of
Clemson college attending the Of
fcers Training Camp at Camp Cor
don.
Those who were in attendance
from the town of Edgefeld were
Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Wells, Hon. B.
E. Nicholson, Judge Kinnaird, Mr..
Jas. T. Minis, and Mr.. and Mrs. j.
L. Minis.
Misses Emmie Lanham and Ellie
Mathis were largely instrumental in
MAILING the nrogram successful.
