ERRONEOUS REPORT.
V. ABOUT IRA WICKS
LEE COUNTY BOY, MEMBER OF
THE Y. 8. MARINE CORPS IN
FRANCE, HAS NOT LOST BOTH
LEGS-HAS BAD ARCHES.

During the past week rumors have
been afloat here that Ira Wicks,
member of the United States marines
in France, and the first Lee county
man to go to the war front, has
been severely wounded, that he had
lost both his legs and that there
was little hope of saving his life.
The; Courier-Index investigated the
rumors and found them untrue. The
parents OF Mr. Wicks, who reside
east OF the city, received a letter
from their son several weeks ago
stating he was having trouble with
the arches of his feet and had been
in the hospital month receiving
treatment. Doubtless this informa-
ton has been enlarged upon and is
the foundation for the reports that
he had lost both his legs. Mr.. Wicks
is said to be the finest specimen OF
physical manhood Lee county has
sen, to the army and his many
friends in Lee county are proud OF
the splendid record he is making
as a member of the United States
marines, the most heroic body OF
fighters In the world.

FATHER FINDS SON
AFTER LONG ABSENCE
GEORGE McMuLLEN. FORMERLY
EMPLOYED IN couRtER-lNDEx
OFFICE, NOW ON JoNEsBoRo
TRlBuNE, HAS RARE LUCK.

From the Jonesboro Tribune the
following story is clipped:
A story that sounds more like fic-
tion than fact Is the experience Of
George McMullen, machine operator
for the Tribune office, who has been
employed on the paper for about
three years, except a short time
while he was In Mariana working
on the Courier-Index.
When Mr. McMullen was at home.
four years of age, with brother ana
two sisters, his mother died. Soon
after the death of the mother the
four children, who were then with
the father, living in Kansas City, Mo-
were taken by the father to On or
phans' home in St. Louis. where they
remained for some time. Later on
the children were adopted by various
people. For long time after the
children were grown they did not
know of the whereabouts of each
other, and until this good day the
two boys have no. information as to
where the two sisters reside, II alive,
but about three years ago George,
who is here, was fortunate In locat-
ing his brother, who resided in Kan
sas, where he is getting along very
nicely and at that time paid him a
visit.
A few days ago the father, James
McMullen, who resides In st. Louis
and is minister OF the gospel, also
a proprietor of store, and man
in very good circumstances, arrived
in Jonesboro in search OF his SON
George, having just returned from
Kansas where he had visited the
other son. After arriving, he soon
made HIS way to the Tribunef office
where George was at work. but did
not know Of the existence OF MS
father till the latter walked to tine
linotype machine where he was busy
at work, and was greatly surprised
when he was informed that he was
facing his long absent father. who
had. wandered for many years In
search Of his chiidreR. The cider
McMullen was proud to know that
he had been able to locate his two
boys, but is still searching for the
two daughters The meeting OF the
father and SON was happy and JOY

aration, and II 1t IL possible sney

whose names are Lizzie and Helen
and are now both grown women.
but Just what names they are going
by is not known. The boys, how
ever, have retained their real name.

girls have done SO, too. Any one
who may know of the Whereabouts
OF the ladies', and communicate win
the bfother, George. Of this city, Il
will be appreciated. and their father
and other brother will be notified.
The senior McMulIen. after spend
ing the day in Jonesboro with his

to locate the other children.
