There will be no June term Of Circuit
Court in Gillian county this year. Or.
dinarily court would have convened
next week but has been called off for
the reasons that the court feels that to
take the farmers from their work at
the present time would have a tendency
to lessen crop production when every
bushel lie needed; that it will save the
county probably $4O0 in jury fees and
that the officers of the courty are busy
with war activities such as the Red
Cross, Armenian and Assyrian relief
drives and in the sale Of Thrift and
War Savings Stamps. and in mobilizing
and preparing the boys who are called
for service. All this is in liue with
President Wilson'S request that every.
one do his best to assist his country
and no one can be prejudiced because

August 81, 1918.


My Dear Sister:
1 have been trying to write for the
longest but couldn't on account of
moving from place to place. I guess
we are settled down now for a while
anyway.
We are camping in a little village
Somewhere in France" AS most of
the people have moved away and left
their homes we stay in their houses.
We certainly have a good place. Some
of US have good feather beds to
sleep in. 1t makes us feel at home
and the French people are so nice to
US. They say We are the first Ameri-
can soldiers to come through this
section
: I would like to tell you all the good
news but the censor will not permit.
l will say this much, though. | do not
think 1 will ever have to go close to
the firing line. I believe this war will
be over by Xmas sc don't you all
worry about me-. l am just as well
satisfied as if I were at home.
l am going to try and learn to
talk French so l can go with some of
these French girls. There are a good
many here in town and there are on
ly three boys in u company that
speak French. All we can do is stand
around and look at them while those
three boys talk.
1 wrote you a letter while in Eng
land and also one to Papa. Hope you
received them o. K.
1 would like very much to hear
from some of you but as we have
been moving about so much it will
be some time before any mail reaches
me. 1 will try to write often now. /
have plenty of time now and think
we will be here for a good while so
write often and give my address to
some of the people around home who
would like to write to me.
Well, l will have to bring this let
ter to a close as it's about bed time.
Tell Papa and Mama not to worry.
l couldn't be any better satisfied.
Give my best love to all and also re-
member M to Aunt Carrie and the
others.

France.

August %, 1918.
My Dear Mother:
I will write just a few lines today.
l am we'll and having a very good
time. Am getting plenty to eat and
have a grand place to sleep. There
is a we'll right at the stable door that
fills up when it rains so you see we
have plenty of water.
I like France fine and am delighted
with the way the people farm. I pre-
sumo they farm as they did in Amer
lea after it was first discovered. You
should see them thresh their grain.
A horse is put into a box in the bot
tom of which is a ladder. The horse
walks on the ladder thus putting the
machinery in motion.
l have been trying to learn to
speak French and am catching on
fast. l have already learned two
words. They are "wee wee" but 1
don't know what they mean. L guess
in a few weeks can speak it all
right!
Mama, 1 would like to know how
you are getting on. Hope you are
all we'll.
l hope to get some mail in the near
future. We have not had any since
we came over. l have not heard any
thing from Winton yet. wrote him
several days ago. l hardly know how
to write since I got over here. l have
MT any news much so I will close for
this time. Give my love to all the
family. May Gods richest blessings
rest upon you.

it, only better. Don't you all worry
about me for I am coming back some
sweet day for the Lord is with me
and that is. all I need.
1 hope you made a good crop. 1
have learned lots since l have been
in this country. Wish you could have
been with me. 1t beats anything l
ever saw in the way of farming. They
are cutting grain owe. here now.
What do you think Of that? Every
thing looks funny to me for l have
never seen nor heard OF some things
I see over here. You would be some
what surprised to see the wagons and
trains they use in this country. 1t is
as good a show as you would want
to see.
We were on the water several
weeks but it won't take as long to
come back l don't suppose. I hope it
won't for 1 have been sea-sick twice.
I hope it won't be a bad coming
back.
Tom Burnett is with me and is
getting on fine. He's writing to some
one now.
I will nave to close for this time.
Write me often and let me know how
everybody and everything is getting
on in that country. You could not
please me any better than to let me
hear from that sweet old place. Tell
everybody Hello for me and be good.
With lots of love to all.
Your son,
George F. DeLaughter.

ME in a few days.
Tell Johnnie I certainly would like
to see him and his big boy. Ask him
when he thinks he will be large
enough to be a soldier boy. l know
he will make a fine soldier. +.
l want you to be sure and go up
home this summer if you can for ]
know Mama will be pleased to see
you and the little girl. Now be sure
and 60 and take Mother Burnett with
you. l would be glad for her to meet
my mother.
l can't send any more cards like
those l sent to you and Johnnie for
we are not allowed to send any more
like them across.
Tell Johnnie that I am going to do
all I can to come back to the old U.
S. A. for that is the best place for
me that l have seen yet.
l had forgotten what date your
birthday comes on but I sent you a
scarf and you ought to get it about
the last of July. When you get this
letter write and let me. know whether
you got the scarf or not. l don't want
you to think l don't write to you for
I write two or three letters every
week. Well, 1 will close. Answer soon.
Your loving husband
E. E. Peeler.
