to improve fast because we began
to feel little faint ourselves be-
fore we arrived at Shops, S. c. DR..
Jim Hill was along too to see after
Mr.. Levi. He had bottle of alco-
hol for Calhoun Falls-he said it
was for Calhoun Falls.
On the observation car we found
Lieutenant Fowler, of Laurens, S.
c., on his way to Ft. Oglethorpe to
Join his command. He had been
home on sick leave for ten days and
was returning. He told US that
Roddey Devlin, who formerly lived
in Abbeville, is an officer in his
company, and that they are friends,
which was recommendation to
the young officer on board the train
with US. We didn't go far until
two good looking ladies came back
and joined us; one was from New
berry and the other from Clinton
The sick man and the lieutenant en-
gagged their whole attention from
start to finish, and Jim Hill, who
had the bottle of alcohol to deliver
at Calhoun Falls, (but who may
have gone up to the front to take a
drink, we do not know, except that
he stumbled a good deal when he
came back) and your humble SER
want could do nothing but hold the
calf. Finally, when they began to
make inquiries they did ask us if
we were not DR.. Neuffer and if DR..
Jim was not our son, which made
son Bill mad when we told him.
When we advised them to the con-
trary on both points, they stated
that they chad, heard SO much of
DR.. Neuffer" that they concluded it
must be he as there was sick man
in the crowd, and we were with
,im. We thought all the time un-
Ill then that we were sitting by the
yood-looking young nurse and talk
ng to her. > '>.>' .-... a..
The Whistle and the Bell.
The train ran on the track all the
vay to Atlanta, ''blowing the whis-
lie and sounding the bell" at every
rossing, we suppose, and then some,
nd arrived in Atlanta at 8 o'clock
yhere DR.. Sam Visanska and Col.
Walter Visanska met Mr., and Mrs.
.evi and the nurse together with
II and singular DR.. Jim. We saw
armers Stevenson, Gillian and Les
ey going out the front door but
S we didn't go to Atlanta to, look
mules, we "driv" up to the Pied
lont, got room and being a meat
ess man we soon found ourselves
ully lined with roast turkey and
ressing as they told US that turkey
not meat in Atlanta, but foul,
,hich we believed for the time be-
ng anyway.
The Three Musketeers.
We walked out Peachtree and
ooked at the new automobiles in
he windows until the turkey went
o sleep and then we undertook to
10 the same thing, but the slam
ming of the door to the elevator
nd the passing street cars kept us
wake nearly all the night, but
Iidn't keep US from breakfast in
he morning. We were ready for
t and soon finished it and as Major
Lyon, of Bradley, said once at Due
Vest commencement, we were
eady to "caper on the green" We
walked up and down Peachtree and
,ut Whitehall, stopping here and
here to buy something to take home,
md everywhere seeing soldiers, SOL
liers, soldiers-Kaiser Bill may
;hink these boys won't fight but we
lidn't ask any of them if they
wanted to fight. They were in the
