My Dearest Sister:
Your letter of June % just received
and words are too small to express
how glad / was to hear from you
after so many months. 1t just did me
so much good that had to jump
up and down and give three big
cheers for you and three because it
came from Rockingham, It seems SO
long since / have been home that !
can hardly imagine how everything
looks. When your letter came some
Of the boys wanted to know if / had
gone crazy. I told them yes, and /
smile week after one comes. 1t has
been month since we received mail
up here and month now seems like
year to me.
We left Archangel once since /
wrote you last and had reached Muir
Mansk, city about-4O0 miles north
of here when the news came that the
Bolshevics had strated riot with the
English. So we turned back to Arch
angel and found big battle going
on. But it only lasted a short while.
Our ship sent out landing party
yesterday and I expect to go any
day. If nothing more prevents we
sail from here the first of September.
Or that is our orders. When we left
the States thought the war over but
any way you look over here it is
war, war, war. But understand that
all the Allies will be out Of here with
in month or SO. 1t will probably
be Christmas before we reach the
States, and l don't care how soon we

LISK FAMILY REUNION AND
PICNIC.

On Thursday, the 18th of August
there was a reunion and picnic a
Bethel Church near Mt. Gilead, anc
the Lisks were there from foul
States, old and young, lean and fat
tall and slim, from one year to IS
one pound to 800, and one foot te
seven feet tall. Some came in autos
some in Fords, some in buggies ano
wagons, others in dump carts as
their family was so large that they
had to dump them out, and it appear
ed that some must have come in air
ships they got there so fast. Yes, old
man Eb Ingram was there with his
drum corps and fife, which he played
in the Confederate War. And it is
useless to say that John A. Lisk was
there, because he was the oldest man
and the youngest man there and was
in charge Of the ceremonies, together
with Mrs. Old Cy.
All the people Of Montgomery
county will be interested to read a
little of the Biographical Sketch of
this most remarkable family. The
forerunner of all the Lisk family was
Benjamin Lisk, who came over with
the British Army at the time of the
American Revolution, he deserted the
British Army and joined the Ameri-
can Army. After the war he drifted
down from Virginia and married in
Montgomery County to Annie Tolbert
and from this union sprang nine chill
dren and all Of the Lisks who live in.
this section are descendants of Benja-
min Lisk.
In all the wars since the Revolu-
ticnary, in which Benjamin Lisk
fought the Lisk family have given
account of themselves. We know of
two generations who fought, they be-
ing the generation of which Capt.
John A. Lisk (old Cyl, fought side
by side with our fathers for the South
and has always been good soldier
IN all walks Of life, as we'll as on the
battle field at Gettysburg and in the
Great World War there went from
Montgomery county seven or eight of
the Lisk family and entered upon
their duty as cheerfully as any SOL
der ever shouldered gun. The Lisk
family have as good war record as
any family in this State.
The speaker Of the day, DR.. Oscar
Haywood Of Montgomery county and
New York city, was introduced to the
gathering numbering about 500 peo-
pie by G. c. Broughton, Of Troy, who
said Of DR.. Haywood that he was
born and raised in old Montgomery
county, but was now because Of his
fame as minister of the Gospel
citizen Of the world and recognized as
Buchs DR.. Haywood made an able

visit to London and what grand city
it is. But to me New York is grander

But you wanted to know about my

Why suffer from these persistent
tortures when it is SO easy and
costs so little to do as thousands
of others have done and get relief
through S. S. S.? 1t is now well
known that eczema and other skin
troubles come from impure blood.
By giving the blood thorough
cleansing you not only get sure
and speedy relief but You also
build up the system and renew
your yigor and vitality.
