me any more good than to get a

we won't be bothered with any

returned to Bucourt, where my
company was stationed at that
time. On Nov. the 10th, l was
down at the company office that
night awaiting the word to come
in whether or not the Germans
had signed the armistice and
suddenly about ten o'clock the
telephone sang and the word
came that it had been signed.
Then the brass band got togeth-
er and gave US a concert and on
the following day, the eleventh
month, eleventh day and eleventh
hour all hostilities ceased. On
the 10th of this month we left
there and landed in a little vii
lage near La Mans, where we
are now stationed. We are in a
very nice little village that has
never been hurt from shellfire.
One particular thing I noticed
here was a very old looking
church, so after investigating /
found it was GIG years old. 1t
was built in 1242.
To-day l heard the bells begin

SAYS HARRIS GAINS
STRENGTH EACH DAY
Optimistic Statement Issued by

Harris Campaign

Asserting that w. j. Harris, candi-
date Tor the United States senate to
succeed Thomas W Hardwick, is gain
ing strength through his organization
in the state, DIR. l.. ). Ledbetter, his
campaign manager, issued the following
statement from the Harris headquarters
on Saturday:
Mr.. Harris spoke in four counties in
northeast Georgia this week, and hi 5
friends, who are among the leading men
in these counties, have assured him he
will carry every one of them.
Following his very successful visit
to Ebert county last Saturday, MI.
Harris spoke in Oconee, Madison, Frank
lin and Rabun. He was enthusiastically
received everywhere, was heard by
large audiences. and received the most
gratifying assurances of support.
There is no question about the fact
that the race in these counties, as in
practically all the counties of that sec
ton of the state. is between Mr.. Harris
and Senator Hardwick. The loyal citi-
zens Of these counties are determined to
settle upon the right man to beat Sen,
ator Hardwick, and they know Mr..
Harris is the man. That has been
demonstrated beyond all question
Some of the claims of the Howard
managers are absurd-in fact, nearly
all of them might we'll be put in that
class. / note that they question our
putting Floyd county, for instance, in
the Harris column, in the recent poll
made of the counties of the state AMI
given out from these headquarters.
There isn't a question about Floyd
county being in the Harris column, and
IL the managers for Congressman How

all. they must know that to be fact

eve are receiving the most crafty

and there is no doubt about the 1ac'
that Mr.. Harris is growing daily
stronger.
