Americas this morning. Mr.. Forces
ter died yesterday afternoon at his
residence in Leesburg, after a finger
ing illness of several weeks. Mr.. For
roster had been to Atlanta for treat
ment, when his life was despaired of
some time ago. He was brought home
and everything that medical atten-
ton and good nursing could be be
done was done. All that loving and af-
fectionate hands could do for him was
done, but in vain.
Mr.. Forester was one of the most
prominent young men In southwest
Georgia, well known and popular with
all, He was liberal-hearted and gen
erous, of a disposition everybody
could but love and admire, and to
know him you had to be his friend.
Mr. Forester married Miss Leila
Watson, of Americas, daughter of
Judge and Mrs. Fred Watson, who at
that time resided on Taylor street,
and are well remembered here.
Mr.. Forester was about AZ years
of age. Besides his wife, he leaves sew
eral children to mourn his loss. The
sympathies of all his acquaintance
are extended the bereaved family in
their trouble.

Yet these animals were seldom up

most frequently whenever the guns
had to be taken of a highway and

Soon we arrived at the city of Ber-

right and left of us burning brightly.
They had been set afire. we learned.

these houses was hslf-burned man

SCOUT ENVOY TO PERSHING

The Boy Scouts of America have q
special envoy in France. On the
Fourth of July he took to General
Pershing and the American expedi'
tionary forces message from the
$4,000 scouts and scout officials in oui
country.
This messenger is DR.. Charles Mac
farland. The message from the Boy
Scouts of America to Gen. John ]. Per-
shing and the Americal expeditionary
forces says in part:
"While we are compelled to remain
at home, each one Of US is definitely
engaged in one or more war work &C
tivities under the leadership of the
national government. Indeed we take
pride In being part of Uncle Sans
team in these stirring times and are
anxious for the opportunity to make
any sacrifice in order that our cause
may prevail.
with you there are over 100000
who have, as scouts or scout officials
discovered the practical value of scout
Ing. They know how to take care OF
themselves and how to be helpful to
others when in need.
"Good cheer and hearty greetings Is
the sincere wish Of the scout brother
hood of America"

SCOUTS LIBERTY LOAN WORK.

Each day the Importance Of the work
that was done by the Boy Scouts OF
America in the third Liberty loan cam
paign is augmented by the receipt OF
final scoutmasters' reports.
The total number Of subscriptions
now reported is 5S0,540, amounting to
the sum Of S67 $50.
This Is most gratifying showing
because while the amount in money
is not so large as 1t was In the second
campaign, the number Of subscriptions
secured is largely in excess of those
secured for the second campaign.
This spells real service Of the highest
degree because In the third campaign
as CLEANERS after the reapers," all
blanket corporation subscriptions were
eliminated and the boys confined them
selves to soliciting individuals, and the
number of $50 and 500 bonds sold is
a wonderful achievement.

German soldiers had been murdered

1t was ordered by the commander

the order had been executed. A re-

The French had made a stand out
