for five months in munitions factory.
Becoming dissatisfied there, he left
for Chester, Pa, where he lived with
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul tCheyneys and fami-
ly, and worked in a paper plant until
his departure for Tarpon Springs.
Bonnie looks rather the worse for
wear, having been i'll for five weeks
with typhoid fever, but owing to Mrs.
Cheyney's splendid nursing is much
better, and we hope will continue to
improve now since he has got back to

likes the North, but is mighty glad to
be home again, and his friends are
glad to see him.
