The record of theCounty Judges
Office for several years past shows
that all has not been going well
with old SOUL. Sam Mcclure. On
last Monday, Judge Cam Mullins
first official act was to send "CulP'
to Jail, for being drunk. Judge
G. M. Ballard remembered that
four years ago his first act was to
turn Gull over to Jailer Winstead,
and Judge Lewis not being SO
positive investigated the record
aud found that sixteen years ago,
when he became Judge that his
FIRST act was to take Gull in and
make a guest of him for Jailer
Jackey Parsons. With all these
facts before us, We are convinced
that things have been just a little
"brlght and gloomy" for Gull for
several years.

JT., of 5O31 Usage avenue.
Lieutenant Greer il member of the
1881 Regiment, United states Engineers
He enlisted as Il private when war was
declared. Al Camp Meade he was made
a corporal and AT Camp Hancock ser
geaut.
At the concerted attack on Chateau
Thierrv the 1881 Engineers was sent ont
to fix the roads for advancing American
forces. Greer's platoon was one of the
most advanced. The Germans guessed
at the plans for advance and threw up
Il terrific harrage which French officers
who had been at Nerdun said was the
worst they had seen in the war.
Greer and his platoon were completely
cut off. There was no chance to dig
trenches, so they dug into the shell holes,
In this position they remained for three
days. The only food they had was the
emergency ration issued before starting
out on their perilous undertaking.
on the third day the infantry came
up and passed over the position held by
the platoon. The engineers We're then
relieved and sent to the rear,
