FROM CAMP AND FRONT

Mr.. A. P. Stucky had letter from
his son, Oscar, in France, the other
day. Oscar said he was all right, but
didn't think to tell how many Ger
mans he had killed. His branch of the
service was numerously represented
at the recent fighting on the Somrne,
and it is likely Oscar saw some Of it.
Private Smith of Company A, who
is here visiting his relatives makes US
sure there is one place where the
Star is appreciated. He says when
Company A receives its package of
Stars every day, the boys scramble
for the papers, trying to read it even
before some of their letters.
Mr.. J. B. Chamberlain is home
from Jacksonville, where he and Sib-
bald Wilson enlisted in the navy.
They are frst-class boys but enlisted
as second-class seamen, because eve
rything else is full. They will be call
ed in about three weeks.
Mr.. Ormond Smith of Fruitland
Park, a splendid looking soldier boy
who is enjoying a five days furlough,
is in town the guest of friends. He
will go to Tampa today, and expects
to return to Camp Wheeler Sunday.

Came Near Getting Ours.

The Reporter readers had a
mighty good chance to have new
editor in charge this week, and all
that prevented The Reporter man
from passing in his checks was the
fact that we had the windshield and
top of our John Henry flivver up
when we crashed into several teie-
phone wires hanging across the
street south of M. A. Gammills place
last Thursday. A force of work
men were engaged in stringing new
wires for the telephone company and
had removed the wires from pole
in order to set another pole, and
then went off to dinner and left
them with no warning or indication
of them being down. Mr.. J. w.
Honnold was in the car with us when
we crashed into the wires, which
sheared the top and windshield on,
the wires catching both occupants
across the face and neck, Mr.. Hon
mold receiving a pretty bad bruise
across his throat which has caused
him a great deal of pain since. or
course the editor escaped better, re-
ceiving cuts and bruises on the nose
and face, and badly bruised should
Ter, but we're mighty thankful it was
no worse. The wOrkmen attention
had been called that forenoon to the
fact that the wires were in dan
gerous condition, and it was gross
negligence to leave them down: Our
flivver has been equipped with a
new windshield and top at the ex-
pense of the telephone company.
