be in as he had just gone to see how
forest fire was doing which he and
the neighbors had fought all the pre-
vious night We had dinner and as
he had not come his eldest son and /
went out to investigate and found him
busy fighting fire. On his invitation l

wishing for a sight of a mountain afire
at night and that night ] beheld the

by the Wandering Fairy.
G. T. Mills and Oscar Gamble of
Ferndale are moving with their fami-
lies to Whiteboro, Texas.
In talk with H F. H. Eberts, chair
man of the County Committee of

sultation was to be held last Monday
on the subject 1t is hoped 9, large
crowd will be present from North Pu-
laski and Perry counties and in order
that the people from other places
may attend the oaths will probably be
administered at Wye. After being
sworn in the men will nominate their
officers by vote and also decide where
to meet in the future and on their
arms and uniforms.

cheap at fifty cents as is meat at pres
ent prices.

bells, horns and church bells in Hoboken
and New York across the bay to the
east and Brooklyn across the bay to the
south
"At 9 o'clock millions of people we're
about the docks aE.l waterfront and
hundreds of flying Z sachines went up
and tons of red, white and blue paper
was dumped down over the bay and cities
as thick as snow storm; thousands

from big ships and buildings.
"Well, we took the boat at Hoboken,
N. J., sailed down the Hudson under
the Brooklyn bridge, up easttsS Brook
lyn and Long Island station, where we
were met by the Red Cross ladies, who
served us with fine lunch and hot
coffee. The day was beautiful. We
then took the cars 81 miles up Long
Island to Camp Upton.
