HERE'S QUICK WAY
TO GO TO FRANCE

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 1S.-Do you want
to get to France without waiting 3?
DO you want to be right there at the
head of the procession when the
grand march starts to Berlin? Do
you want to be among the first to
iross the Rhine and take possession
OF German forts to be held as guar
antee in case of an armistice? Then if
you do, enlist in the Motor Trans
port Corps, which is recruiting men
at Camp Jesup, near Atlanta. Any
man between the ages of Is and As
years who knows naything at all
about an automobile or any part
thereof can be- used in the Motor
Transport, Corps, provided he is ply
sically sound. Pershing is getting
ready for the big final drive. He
needs thousands OF auto trucks,
which need men. This is the way to
get over quick.

p. M, Sunday, Rev. W. l.. Haven be-
ing master of ceremonies A chorus
of 16 voices sang the Battle Hymn of
the Republic" and "The Star Spangled
Banner" which resounded from the
hills surrounding this little commun-
ity, where patriotism has ever main
tanned its foothold throughout all past
connections and struggles of national
agitation, and is displayed with vim
in the generations Of today.
At the unfurling of the stars and
Stripes, Mr.. Barrows addressed the
youth of the town, in whom he has
taken keen interest and pleasure in
training along military lines. This
flag was unfurled by Master Philip
Connell.
Miss Wirifred Marley had the hon
or of releasing the Service Flag to the
view of the people assembled. The
applause was spontaneous and pro
longed. There are "A stars-two gold
ones.
Lucius L. Wilson was then intro
duced and spoke with great enthusi
assn of "our boys and along general
war topics.
At the close of the program "Amer-
lea" was sung in unison, the ladies of
the village then serving tea from their
numerous porches until the sunset
gun, when the colors were lowered

Memorial Day will be with US again
week from today. This is the day
which our country has set aside to
honor the men who gave their lives
during the Civil War TO preserve the
Union and give posterity a country
safe and sane to live in. The veterans
Of that war are rapidly passing on to
the great beyond and very few Of them
are left for us to show our respect
and regards to. For that reason we,
one and all, should do all in our power
to help the G. A. X. and W. r. c. on
May Both. Another very strong and
powerful reason which our people we
know fully realize is that this year we
are in the midst of another struggle
for freedom and the young men Of this
generation are trying to do what our
fathers and grandfathers succeeding
in doing nearly GO years ago. Dorset
has more than 40 of her young men in
the service and more will soon follow.
Two have given their lives ana their
memory will live to be honored byI
generations with those who
may fall before the present war is
ended. Events Having shaped them
selves as we have just mentioned let
all Of the residents in this community
show their willingness to do their
share by assisting the ladies of the w. |
R. c. by furnishing food and flowers
and doing anything else that might |
aid them in making the day success.
The usual form of exercises will be
'arried out and as usual those who
ave an active part in the days .af
