FROM. CAMP AND FRONT

R. E. Milligan, an Anthony boy,
who enlisted in the regular army
from Ocala in 1916, has just arrived
in France and is with the Headquar-
tiers company, 18Th artillery. Mr..
Milligan, we are told, was overlooked
and his name not placed on the roll
or star placed for him on the serv-
ice flag of Marion county. The omis-
sion should be made good at once.
Mr.. J. B. Chamberlain went to
Jacksonville with Sibbald Wilson
Monday morning, to stand examina-
ton for the navy.
The great majority of the people
of Palatka are up in arms against the
action of few Pharisees who have
greatly misrepresented their city. The
men training at Camp Johnston are in
the habit of making Sunday trips on
the st. Johns river, and Palatka has
been one of their favorite stopping
places. 1t seems that two or three
Sundays ago, some few of the soldiers
and their young lady friends INDUCED
in dance while in Palatka, and this
so Mortified the "unco guild" of that
city that they met and passed reso1u-
lions to the effect that the presence
of the soldiers was demoralizing and
communicating to the young people of
their town. When the commanding
officer at Camp Johnston heard of
this, he promptly forbade the men
making trips on the river from land
ing at Palatka in future. Last Sun
day, the young soldiers landed at
Federal Point and hundreds of Palat-
ka people went over in cars to assure
them that the sentiment of the city
had been mistaken. 1t is probable that
the commanding officer at Camp
Johnston will take the taboo off Palat-
ka soon, and probably the "unco guid'
will keep quiet awhile.
Mr.. T. D. Lancaster Jr received his
call to join the navy yesterday and
left last night for Atlanta We all

Miss Georgia Smith is smiling over

Percy and one of his chums taken on

the navy is feeding Percy well.

Affairs were not very lively at the
school election when the Star reporter
looked in on it today. Inspector Saw
age had gone to dinner, and Inspec-

Clerk Cleveland were sitting by the
ballot box wondering If they were
going to get any dinner. The reporter
cast the 21st vote and Mr.. Meffert
came in after him and cast the 22nd.
