A recent issue of the Belle Plaine
iowa Union contained an an
nouncement of the death of a pio-
neer of that state, Mrs Rachel True
blood, at the age of 95 years. Mrs.
Trueblood was the grandmother of
Mrs. j. L. Robinson of Holly and
until recent date enjoyed the best

few years ago at the age of 81.
Mrs. Trueblood was born in
North Carolina in 1922, when rail
roads were few; and before the tele-
graph and telephone, electric lights,
automobiles, monographs and
many of the other modern day con
veniences We're known or even
dreamed of. Locating in Iowa in
lS46. they saw the development and
growth of that great state from it's
infancy to it's present rank and
their long LIVES enabled them to
witness the remarkable develop
ments OF one Of the greatest epochs
in history.
Mrs Trueblood is survived by six
children, eighteen grandchildren
and three great-grand-children
The last named live in Holly and
are the children of Mrs. Borstner
and Mrs. Lewis, daughters of Mr..

Unusual interest marked the
largely attended special services

anniversary of the pastOrate OF the
Rev. Wiley K. Wright. A Thank
Offering of $4,000 for the Presbyter-
ian Board OF Home Missions WAS
made in recognition of this annlVer-
cary and as one expression OF the
church's gratitude to God for his
blessings during these years.
At the morning service the scrip
ture lesson containing the motto

was read by Miss, Cecile Wilson,
representing the young people

Of the church, spoke briefly anu
anpropriately on behalf OF tne men
Of the church and Mrs. +. M eilei-
man, charter member oi Va.
Woman's Missionary Society apo
+ho Ladies Aid Society, spoke ior
tho women OF the church, closing
with a touching reference TO the
unusually efficient work OF Mis.
Wright, the pastors wife, that me,
with the instant approval OF all
present including the pastor.
TN, pastor stated in his annlvef-
sarv sermon that while the popuia7
tion of Holly was about the same

made over 100 per cent increase III

her who had moved away. Tnere

4 ames have been added to the roll
and 1865 names removed, leaving the

sent church building was erected
and the manse greatly improved
about four years ago. There Is no
debt either on the church properly
or for current expenses. Tne
church will report much larger
amount contributed for missions
this year than ever before.
At the evening service, which was
a union service, the Methodist peo-
pIe uniting, the Rev. r. r. Adams,
pastor, made very happy address
of congratulation. The Rev. NJ. II.

word of commendation, the raising
at the morning service of the thank
offering of $4,000 for Home Missions,
spoke brief word of congratula-
ton to pastor and people, not for
getting the pastors wife, and then
preached great sermon on The
Place of the Selective Draft in the
Kingdom of God" showing by the
reciting of many telling instances,
how God calls men into his service.
At this service announcement was
made that Mrs. l.. M. Gee of New

for the privilege of giving the
church service flag containing
twenty.four stars, there being that
number of men on the church's

Dear Friend
l received your letter some time
ago. but have not had opportunity
to answer before this time. without
hurting.
Concerning Army Life. at present
you see. we are south for the winter.
We are in our tents out in q large
pine forest and we ourselves did
the necessary clearing out of timber
to build our camp. Such . camp
requires considerable work or "fati-
que" to be done for above all q
regular army camp must be sani-
tary, orderly and regulation. We
are pretty well located tho now
and we certainly have a pretty
camp. We took ten mile hike
dismounted on Thursday. On these
hikes we carry our shelter halves
or "pup-tents", one blanket, mess
kit and canteen and at noon are
issued raw meat "spuds and what
ever other eatables are in line and
cook our own meals. We always
eat our own mess, cooked as we
please and like 1t as well as q picnic
dinner in civilian life. We have a
hike about once a week. After
dinner we lie on our blankets in
our "pup-tents". Then we fall in
and march back to camp, usually
with q good many live marching
songs, to pass the time and the
miles away. In camp our life is
varied between drill, work, lectures,
sports and our evenings, which are
our own very public-spirited and
friendly city; or around our own
camp fires which very picturesque
! ly light our Battery street and the
surrounding woods. or over in one
of the many ~ s" writing letters to
the folks at home or to the girl Of
which every soldier has . host. In
short we write to everyone we know
and to some we don't. The longer
we are in the service the more we
write, and the more we hear from
the home folks the more inspira-
tion we have to be good soldiers
and to keep ourselves at our best
mind and body for the life after
the war. Men who cared nothing
for letters as civilians will often
have heavy correspondence in the
army You have no idea of what
letters mean to us till you see the
last letter called and see the men
who were disappointed and have
to 20 at least another day without
mail. We like to feel the slap on
the back. get the word from home
that the home fires are burning
just as they were when we said,
goodbye" You know 1t is great
life we live here. We all make a
mistake in peace times and get the
