RESOLUTION OF RESPECT

Whereas, it has pleased God in
His all-wise providence, to remove
from our midst, October %, 1918,
Mr.. w. A. Cunningham, ahighly eS-
teemed Confederate Veteran.
AS soldier, like many other
brave men of the South, his record
was unwritten. During the last few
years, Mr.. Cunningham took great
interest in the work of U. D. C.'s and
so willingly gave Of his time and
strength to raise funds for the cree
ton of the Confederate monument.
And, in manifestation Of our ap-
probation and loss, we submit the
following resolution:
/. That knowing God doeth all
things well, we bow in humble sub
TO His will.
2. That we extend our sincere
sympathy to the bereaved family.
8. That the resolutions. be re-
corded in the minutes Of the High
land Chapter of the United Daugh-
ter's of the Confederaoy, and a copy
be sent to the family, and to the
Highland Recorder for publication.

COMING HOME

Now. that most of the forces IN
England, booked to return first,
have been landed or started for
home. we are al wondering which
divisions or units will come next.
The reports as to government plans
many Of them, are nothing more
than speculation, the gossip and sur
missing of newspaper correspondents
and are so conflicting that anxious
American parents are kept guessing.
One statement will kindle hopes to
be dashed to pieces by the doubts
and declarations Of some other "au-
thority", and, under such circum-
stances, it will be well to give little
heed to statements that do not bear
the stamp OF military authority.
AS most of our people know,
Highland boys, q large majority of
them at least, are in the 317th Infan
try, seth division, and, while we do
not want to raise any false hopes,
we will not be surprised to hear of
their early return, inasmuch as they
saw hard service and participated in
the decisive battle OF the war. But
even this prediction is made in the
face of a recent statement, in which
we took little stock, that the SOth
division would likely be given gar
rison duty in one of the Rhine cities
We have seen no authoritative an
nouncement that a big army would
be retained in Europe, but read that
the governments purpose is to re-
turn the troops at the rate of 800,
600 per month, that being the capac-
ity of the transport service availa-
bic, and that possibly eight months
will be required to get them home.
We have reason to hope that our
boys will be among those who come
early, but no guarantee. The stu
alton is much more encouraging,
however, than it would have been
had hostilities continued. Very
soon we hope to learn that all,
save the unfortunate ones already
fallen, have escaped the Boche bull
lets. and, barring disease, will come
home, sooner or later. The chances
of serious sickness are reduced, too,
in peace times, for there is less eX-
posture and better quarters.
It is said that Fred Corbett, of
the 317th, has already reached an
American port, writing to his father
from Newport News, but we have
had no opportunity of verifying the
report. Fred received a wound in
the hand sometime ago, and he may
have been given an early discharge
on this account.

CAME SEASON Dull

Phe extent to which game life was
destroyed by the snow and ice OF
last winter was not fully known I'M
til the present hunting season came
on. So far as sport and success are
concerned the season might as well
remained closed, with rare eXcep-
lions hunters finding no game at ALL
Dave Samples was exceptionally
lucky, bagging three turkeys in one
day, but his was about the only sue
cess reported.
Two visiting sportsmen who went
below the Bath-Highland line in
quest of game, failed to flush a bird,
although the territory has been a
favorite one for hunters in former
years.
The scarcity of squirrels had been
noted earlier in the season, and the
small boy can testify that rabbits
are too scarce to make the box-trap
business either interesting or profit
able.
It will take mild winter or two
and ample legal protection to restore
bird life to a normal state.

on Sunday morning, the loss being
estimated at $250,000. The origin
of the fire is unknown. Fortunate
ly no residences were included in the
loss. Many laborers from Highland
have moved to that section during
the summer and fall, and to have
been burned out at this season of the
year would be hardship. The
company lost large supplies of can.

true and loyal brother Of our Frater-
nal order, we do hereby express our

ever that should soften the sorrow
under such a bereavement. 1t is the
reflection that your precious wife is
now a treasure laid up in better
world, and the gate through which
she has passed to peace and joy UNI
speakable is left open so that you in
due time may follow. Let this be
your consolation.
