July Is, 1918.
Mrs. A. III. Nance,
Rutledge, Tenn.
Dear teacher:
Would you like to know the where
abouts of one of your Rutledge Sun
day School pupils of 1904-5? Will
you allow me to introduce myself?
This is Joseph T. Hodge. That you
may remember me, / am the guy
what got the new Bush car torn up
and brought it to Mr.. Nance's garage
for repairs June 1917.
Little did | think when I was talk
ing with you about rooming in a
shell hole somewhere in France at
that time, but here | am. / was read
ing the little Testament that you
gave me as a Xmas present. The
thought came to me that it would
be of interest to you know how
the little Book is still on it's mission
and that | appreciate your gift e.
nough to take it with me whittier
soever l go. | am no keeping it mere
ly because it is gift but because
of what it is. 1t is spiritual food,
from it we can obtain food for our
souls. l can appreciate it more now
than ever for the sources of supply
are much more limited here than they
we're with me at home in Tho 8
l have only been to religious servi-
ces three time in three months. You
can imagine what kind of an atmos-
phere one lives in with the army in
war times, when the bent of every
mind is to take the life of another
man. l was member of your Sunday
School class when | was converted
and we'll do l remember. That was
the hour that has meant more to me
than all else.
May the richest blessings of our
Heavenly Father be yours in your
Christian labors. From an
Ex-Scholar.

lGRAINGER COUNTY AGRICUL-
ITURAL AND HOME ECONOMICS
DAY AT RUTLEDGE ON SATUR-
DAY, SEPTEMBER 2sTH.

Granger county with its varied
resources of agricultural products,
it's unlimited variety Of mineral wa
tiers, and with the great variety of
work done by the women of the coun-
ty, should long ago have had an
Agricultural Day or County Fair.
Seldom is the county seat so well
located or so nearly in the center
of the county to afford such oppor-
tunity for all people to make ex-
hibits on this day. II we will all
work together and make this first
day real success, it will then be
an easy matter to make this an an
nual event.
Mr.. E. K. Tate has been named
chairman and Mr.. A. M. Nance vice
chairman south Of the mountain and
Prof. d. S. Hamilton chairman and
DR.. C. A. Atkins vice chairman north
of the mountain. 1t is sincerely hop
ed that these men along with every
one else will do all that is possible
to see that all suitable products are
brought out for exhibit. A variety
of products will be selected from this
collection and sent to the East Ten
nessee Division Fair at Knoxville on
October 7 to IL as an exhibit from
Granger county.
Prize lists will be made out soon
and premiums as liberal as possible
offered. These of course will be offer
ed or donated by the Patriotic Pub
lie Spirited Citizens of Granger
County or by people outside the coun
ty who may wish to contribute. This
Committee will be named and their
names printed in the County paper
next week. It is hoped that every
one will offer to the committee such
articles, or Live Stock. or, Cash, or
Thrift Stamps as he or they can af-
ford AND the committee will in so far
as possible arrange the prizes in an
appreciaive manner.
Let each citizen Of Granger bring
to the Fair, the best he or she has
to exhibit, and bring something even
if there are no prizes offered for
these articles. 1t helps to make the
fair better and will give the judges
chance to include same another
year. Of course not every one can
win prize but every one can at
least bring something to add to the
collection. In this way more has been
gained than if the judges have only
few articles to Judge and of course
we can then take much more pride
in our Fair. If we will enter this not
in the spiri tof winners alone, in a
gene of chance, but in the spirit of
patriotic people glad to let each 9TH
Ell and outsiders know that we are
busy helping to feed the Allies we
each will be better off and feel proud
that we have done what we could.

 The vast prairie country contig- uous to the foothills of the Olympic Mountains contains billions of feet of the finest spruce in America and MT. Henson writes his father than 2,0O0 experienced woodsmen are now ting out logs for the big sawmill which is being rushed to completion as rapidly as possible and which will have capacity of over one million feet of lumber daily.
 railroad 42 miles in length, a branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee X St. Paul, is being constructed to the new mill and a system of feeder tracks will be built throughout the timbered region to facilitate the work of getting logs to the mill.
 The United States Government is in charge of the mammouth under taking and will conduct it until the end of the war when the industry will be taken over by private cor poration, presumably the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Com pany, which is known to own much of the timber land in that section
 The fact that the Government is going so extensively into the spruce lumber business bears out the be lief that reports to the effect that future warfare on Germany will bt made mostly from the air are true Also, one million feet of lumber daily will permit of the construction of : fleet or flock of aeroplanes within a short time that will almost shu off the sunlight from the land of tht Hun,

tacks RepuIsed.
BY Associated Press.

With the American Army on the
Vesle Front, Aug. 10.-Ina attempt
ing to dislodge the French and the
Americans from positions from north
of The Vesle rivef on both sides OF
Fismes, the Germans launched re-
peated counter attacks switch began
just before dark Friday night and
continued until Saturday morning.
There was desperate fighting in the
region of Fismette where the Ger
man ktacks were repulsed by the
Americans, who were clinging to the
outskirts of the village.
In the region of Bazoches, the
Germans made several vicious at
tacks but the allies successfully
fought them off,
Flyers Beaten Of.
The Germans began with airplane
attacks, the aviators sttempting to
bomb infantrYmen north of the Vesle
and bridges Over which their troops
were passing. French and American
anti-aircraft guns beat off the Ger
man flyers, however.
Just after dark the Germans
launched an artillery attack which
steadily increased in volume until
nearly daylight, when the Franco
Americans counter attacked, with
such force that the Germans were
forced to lessen the volume of their
fire.
During the night the Germans at
tackled Fismette three times and once
after daylight Saturday.
From the region southeast of
Braisne to Fismes the Franco-Ameri-
cans put down such terrific barrage
that the Germans were stopped.
Saturday morning the Teutons
started another attack along the same
line, but heavy artillery quickly
checked this assault. The enemy
used much gas in attempting to dis
lodge the Americans from Fismette.
Infantrymen plentifully supplied with
machine guns also made futile at
tacks.A
