About Our Boys at Camp Gordon.

y
The following portion of lengthy
letter from FL. B. Lewis, we think will
interest our readers who have soldier
friends and relatives at Camp Gordon:
***rhe gentleman soon directed me
to the barracks where | found a num-
Der Of McNairy and Hardin county
boys, and | was glad to find them, for
! had seen so many thousands Of SOL
lderHthat had about decided that
| all our boys had gotten in hurry
and gone over. 1t is impossible for
me to give the names of all | saw,
but will mention few: | saw Dave
Weeks, Tully Hamilton, Bob Curtis
and a few others from Selmer; Crosk-
cry, Hendrix and Causey from Bethel
Springs, Littlefeld from Adamsville;
Kelly Howard, Wilkerson and several
others from Leapwood. All the boys
seemed in good spirits and willing tt
do all they could in winning the war
Now, let me drop one little hint to
the folks at home: Always write the
cheerful kind of letters, write often,
out as one McNairy county soldier
said. leave off the sob stuff" One
other thing, be sure to send them the
county paper every week, and don't
depend on someone else doing this.
but buy copy and mail it to them
yourself. The bows want the news
from home as much as do we at home
One soldier said, tell the folks at
home to always help the Y. M. G. A..
for it surely does help the soldiers in
many ways" They all agree that
when the war is over they will be
prepared to attend to the slackers
who have failed to do their part. One
soldier said that in his Judgment no
hell was bad enough for the man who
did not have to go nor had relatives
TO 90 and was able to help with his
dollars and would not do it. He said
he wanted the folks at home to keep
TAB on such and when he came home
and got to the judge, he'd fix him.
Anyway, Mr.. Editor, these boys are
making noble sacrifice, and all who
fail to stand behind them are not do
ing their duty and the soldier boys
will know them when they return.
Respectfully,
Fl. B. LEWIS.

little log schoolhouse stood close to
where the church still stands; the
teacher, tall and lank, sat behind a
desk on which lay several switches,
he did net hesitate TO use when neces-
sary. inspiring the children with much
awe and fear in time. of books" Two
little girls and little boy came two
miles over road which lay through
the woods AMI across meadow
branch. TO this school. Another lit
tie girl, whose hair is now frosted
with gray, was sometimes allowed to
go with them. We climbed and ran
over the rocks, hunted mess in the
cregices, aud at recess ate our dinner
IN the dense shade they made at noon
time, then went t. the spring for
water, which tasted like the tabled
nectar, so it seems to us now. Many
changes have taken place since the
days our childish minds held such
awe, and admiration for these rocks,
which are now polished by the rugged
hand Of time.
