SMITH COUNTY BOY SLIGHTLY
WOUNDED IN BATTLE

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mrs. Amistead from her
son, Charles, who was recently re-
ported as wounded in action in
France:
Dear Mother:-I will try to write
you few lines. I am well excepting
my arm which is sore. got wounded
in the right arm and shoulder, but
only slightly. ] have been at the Base
hospital for ten days and my arm is
doing fine. / am able to use it to
write to you so you may know l am
getting along fine. We put the Ger
mans on the go. The Americans don't
know when to stop. Twenty of US
whipped over a hundred Germans
The undertaken had a job when we got
through with them. The best of it
all was that we didn't lose a single
man. ] have been over the top three
times.
They are going to move some of
as tomorrow or next day to some
other hospital, but don't know where
yet.

They have movies or a sho'V evely
night. If anyone wants t. get a
scrap out of me lust let thcm say
something against :he Y. NJ. G, A. or
soldiers.
The remainder of the letter refers
to personal matters. He closed his
letter by asking his mother if she was
receiving the allotment and saying
that eve lost our papers when. the
boat went down." Evidently Armis-
lead was on a torpedoed transport.

The above action on the part of the
Carthage merchants is indeed COM
mendable and the patriotic spirit they
manifest by closing their places of
business at the time suggested by the
government proves them to be true
and loyal American citizens, ready at
all times to do their bit toward aid
ing in winning the war. The govern
ment is calling for the conservation
and saving of everything during these
times, especially coal. So it can very
readily be seen what a saving Of coal
will be brought about by business
houses all over the country adopting
the early closing hours. Therefore,
this action on the part of the Car
thage business men is not done for
their own personal convenience, hut
it is done solely to help win the war.
In view of these facts the patrons of
these business men are expected to
look at the matter from patriotic
view point and to undergo the incon-
veniences without complaint. Make
your arrangements to visit the store
and make your purchases before six
o'clock and thereby do your part to-
ward winng the war.
1t will be noticed that the two Car
thage barber shops were also one hun
bred per cent patriotic and if you
want a shave or haircut you will
please call at the barber shop before
six o'clock in the afternoon.
In another column of this paper
will be found a notice from the Car
thage merchants to the. effect that
they viii not hereafter sell any mer-
chandise on Sunday except it be med
icine or some article of similar emer-
gency.

MERCHANTS WILL NOT
SELL GOODS ON SUNDAY

We, the merchants of Carthage,
Tenn, agree that we will not sell
anything out of our stores on the
SABBATH Day, except it be medicines or
something that would come under the
head of emergency, such as clothing
for burial purposes, etc.

LETTERS FROM SOLDIER BOYS.

Mrs. Eula Andrews has just receiv-
ed the following letter from her hus-
band, Grover Andrews, who is some
where with the A merican army in
France:
Aug. 8, 1918
Dear Wife:-I will write you a
few lines to let you know / am well
and hope you are the same. This is
the first letter / have written in a
week. / have not had the chance to
write often, but l will for the next
few days. / have come from the front
for few days rest. 1t has kept US
busy keeping up with the Germans
they are retreating so fast. I have
seen lots of dead lying behind-sev-
eral A mericans-but five G ermans
to one American. Guess you have
heard all about the big drive, haven't
you? Dear, / am getting along fine
but you know ! want to see you ALL
and be at home. think / viii be
there by Christmas, if not before.
can tell you lots of news when / see
you. want you to write me often.
You know / am always glad to hear
from you. 1t has been nearly a week
since l heard from you, and / had a
letter from Mama at the same time,
but haven't had a chance to answer
them before now. About all of this
regiment is enlisted men from Mass
I will close this time and write again
soon. M ay God bless and keep us
until we meet again.
Your loving husband,
GROVER ANDREWS.
In other letters Mr. Andrews says
France is beautiful country, but not
like home.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION.
BUILDINGS.

Before you can, build any buildings
of much value or do much repairing,
you must have permit from the Ma
tional Council of Defense for the
same. It is all right for you to make
small improvements or build small
outhouses, ETC., which does not exceed
the cost of 500, but all new buildings
Out-hOuses, ETC., that exceed this cost
you must apply to me for blank affi-
davit and fill out the same, setting
forth the particular kind of building,
it's cost and the necessity of its being
built, and file it with me and / will
send it to the State Council of De-
Tense and they will act on same and
let you know whether or not the build
ing will be permitted.
There are three reasons why build
ings and improvements are not per-
mitted now. First, shortage in ship
ping facilities; Second, shortage in la
Dor, the labor all being needed in food
production; and Third, it uses the mon
ey that might be used in buying Lib
erty Bonds, helping the Red Cross,
etc.
No improvement or building will
be permitted unless it appears to be
a great necessity in helping conserve
food or in some way assist in the war
situation. 1t is the duty of everyone
with the food situation as it is, to
use every minute in preparing for
food production; do every thing you
can now toward next years crop, etc.
SUGAR.
Since the price of sugar has advanc-
ed the retailer by necessity will have
to sell some higher. Merchants who
have sugar on hands purchased at the
old price must not sell it for more
than 10c a pound, but the sugar pur-
chased at the advanced price may be
sold as high as IL 1-2 cents. Until
further notice the sugar regulations
will remain as they have been for the
past three months.
In order to win this war soon it is
! necessary that we send more of our
boys across to help. This both lessons
our labor supply and demands more
food to feed them, therefore, it is
necessary that we conserve more than
we have ever done before Our Mot
to is: Buy Less, Eat Less; Save
Everything.
Yours truly,
j. r. CURTIS.

GET THE WHEAT HABIT.

Do you live in one of those local.
ties which has lost the habit of grow
ng grain? Get the habit again
Feed yourself. Don't despair if all
IF the threshers and binders have
rusted out. Many a bushel of wheat
was grown and sold for less than a
dollar a bushel before these machines
were perfected. Sow your wheat
broadcast if necessary. Get an old
fashioned wheat cradle If you must.
With little experience, you can cut
three acres per day if you are strong.
Plan for wheat wisely, but grow as
much wheat as you can without seri-
ously interfering with other import
ant crops.

me to hear shells burst and don't

time when we were in the trenches

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin Saturday, Sept.
18th, and will continue for three
weeks. Julian Fisher, cashier of the
Smith County Bank, who so success
fully handled the Third Liberty Loan
for Smith County, has again been Sc
lected as county chairman and for the
past several days has been busy MAX
ing his plans for the campaign. Mr..
Fisher has selected a live bunch of
men, whose names appear below, to
assist him in this campaign. Mrs. w.
E. Myer has also again been selected
as chairman of the Woman's Commit
tee of the Fourth Liberty Loan for
Smith county as is actively at work
in perfecting preparations for the
drive. MRS. Myer has appointed a
number of Smith county's patriotic
women, whose names also appear in
these columns, to assist her in the
campaign. With the efforts of those
who have been appointed to take the
lead in the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign, assisted by every other true
and loyaly Smith countian, the task
of raising the county's quota will be
an easy matter.
All explanations regarding Liberty
Bonds has heretofore been explained
land all citizens are aware that this is
the method our Government has
adopted to finance the war-the money
will have to be raised by Bonds are
direct taxation-and of course it is
much better to be in possession of
Government interesting-bearin bond
than it is to hold a tax receipt. So let
our citizens join in this Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign and see how quickly
Smith county's quota can be raised.
Don't wait for the district chairman
or some one else to call on you, but
see some member of the committee
and buy the amount of bonds YOU
should buy. Smith county already
has a number of precious boys over
yonder fighting for our liberty and
fifty more are to leave within the
next few days. The money paid for
these bonds will be used by the Gov
eminent to care and protect our bows
while they are fighting. Who is it in
Smith county that will go the limit on
such call as this? With the high
prices paid for wages and all kinds of
farm products, every body in Smith
county is able to buy bond. Let's
do our duty.
AS we go to press Smith county's
quota of the Fourth Liberty Loan has
not been announced, but whatever
The amount is let every citizen make
It part of his or her business to
zee that it is raised. Our boys are
doing their duty on the battle fields,
now let us do our duty at home.
