JOHNSTON LETTER.
Three Young Soldiers Very
Cordially Received D. A.
r. Will Observe Flag
Day.

On Sunday morning at the Bap-
tist church, among the first arrivals
at Sunday School were three young
soldier boys. Upon being spoken to-,
it was found that they were from
Texas and were stationed at Camp
Hancock, Augusta. They had wanted
some recreation and decided on spend
ing Sunday at Johnston, though they
knew no one here, and they had never
been in this part of the State before.
They arrived on Saturday afternoon
and were at the hotel. The fact that
they sought out the house of worship
and attended Sunday School, certain
ly spoke well for these young gentle
men. They were most cordially well
coined and had an escort of at least
eight of the Berean class to go to
their room for the lesson period. At
ter service many spoke to them and
scarcely a one who did not give an
invitation to spend the day with them.
This the young men greatly appreci-
ated and the best they could do was
to separate. and each go to home.
In the homes where they went they
found good cheerand if they felt so
lonely as to seek day Of recreation,
they were certainly cheerd up and no
doubt got a bit of mothering.
