Santa Rosa county is planning TO
back Pensacola's claims to the victory
centennial in bang-up manner when
the state commission meets at Talla-
hassee October 20. Milton has already
signed up a delegation of seven men
who will lead the Santa Rosa county
boosters.
In Pensacola yesterday, the CEN
tennial pot was kept merrily boiling
and the special train is already filled.
Further cars will be obtained and res
ervations can still be made by tele-
phoning, writing or calling on any of
the c. T. T. committeeman or on S. II.
Burke at the city ticket office of the
L. &c n. r. r.
The latest project of the c. T. T.
committee is to take a band to the
capital city and seven men have al
ready donated $40 each toward the ex-
penses of the musicians. Chairman
Hancock of the special committee or
Pete" Rollo of the c. t. I. will glad
ly take $50 of any mans money to-
ward this cause. 1t is believed that
about ten additional donations of $50
each will foot the bills. The Kiwanians
would say in such a case "Trot along,
little cheque."
Chairman Rollo and Felo McAllister
were over at Milton yesterday in the
interests of the centennial tour and
with the assistance of Hon. Peter Ro-
sasco and other good and loyal citi-
zenS of the Santa Rosa county seat
obtained the promise of a big delega-
tion. Mr.. Rosasco has been elected to
lead the delegates from the neighbor-
ing county and promises to have a big
bunch of boosters on hand when the
special train pulls in.
Those who will lead the Santa Rosa
delegation are: John II. Collins, post
master. /. p. Krentzman of the Bates
Krentzman company; John p. Stewart
Of the Milton Cash Store; David II.

MONTEREY, VA. January II, 1919

Now, that the town and communl-
ty are free from the flu epidemic 1t
behoves our people to be prudent
and careful. The epidemic proved
to be in mild form on it's first round,
but we have no assurance of such
good fortune should it break out
again. We don't know any preven-
tative-the doctors do not-but GER
tain lines Of conduct and precautions
have from time to time been suggest
ed, and they are such as appeal to
reason and are known to lessen the
danger of contracting, spreading and
combating the disease. Enough
has been said about sneeZing and
coughing to guide even the foolish
and thoughtless. Then, there is the
suggestion that persons isolate
themselves as soon as, and whenever,
they feel suspicious symptoms, anc
await developments.
Inasmuch as the entire county
has thus far been favored both in
the extent and form of the disease,
it is a good, time for Highland to
stay at home. Unless urgent matters
call for it, our staying, a self-im-
posed quarantine, may be most
sensible course TO persue.

8Oth Division Cited BY
Commanding General

AS so many Highland boys are in
the 317th infantry, Thich is includ-
ed in the goth ss4yision, the follow
ing good report from, them will be
read with interest.
Showing that those Virginia boys
and their companions who form the
Eightieth division have fully upheld
the fighting traditions of their faith
ers, a general order issued on Nov. i
by Major-General Adelbert Kronk-
kite points with pride to the fact
that they have three times been COM
mended by the commanding general
for their excellent work during the
strenuous days between November 1
and Nov. 5, during which time they
advanced over fifteen miles against
the stubbornly fighting Huns and
captured vast quantities of guns and
large numbers of prisoners.
A copy of the order has just been
received by Colonel George Wayne
Anderson, assisting city attorney,
whose son, George Wayne Anderson,
Jr., lost his life while fighting with
the Eightieth. 1t reads:
''The Eightieth Division only
moves forward.
1t not only moves forward against
the enemy, but it moves forward in
the estimation of all who are capable
of judging it's courage, its fighting
and it's manly qualities.
''In the operations for the period
Nov. LIS, the division moved forward
fifteen and fve-eighths miles in an
air line.
''It always led
"It captured two Huns for every
man wounded.
'It captured one machine gun for
every wounded man.
"It captured one cannon for every
ten men wounded, besides large
quantities of munitions and other
stores.
ut accomplished these results, of
vast Importance to the success of the
general operation, with far smaller
percentage of casualties than any
other division engaged.
ut has learned by hard training
and experience.

Letter From Idaho
Twin Falls, Ida, Dec. II, 1918

Twin Falls, Ida, Dec. II, 1918
Editor Recorder:
Dear Sir:-I thought perhaps a
few lines from the Gem State"
might interest few of your readers,
if you have place for them.
We came to Idaho five years ago
to make our home. We landed here
strangers in a strange land, but not
for long; we soon made new friends
and feel as much at home here as
any where we have eXer lived.
The people here, while not as hos
pitable as the people in the South,
will dig down deeper in their pockets
to help a man in trouble, than any
place I have ever lived.
The Twin Falls Tract of land was
put in operation about fifteen years
ago, when they put dam in snake
river and surveyed canals and later
ais to carry the snow water from the
mountains out over the sage brush
desert, and today the Twin Fall tract
will produce as much, or more than
any other tract it's size in the U. S.
The city Of Twin Falls takes it's
name from the Twin Falls on Snake
River, three miles east of here, where
the river is divided by big ledge of
rock and falls to the bottom, dis
lance of 60 feet.
Shoshone Falls, (the Niagra Of the
West) is about one mile below the
Twin Falls, and is a wonderful sight
to behold. Old Snake rushes over a
precipice two hundred and ten feet
high, and makes sight beyond my
description. I will send you a pic
ture or two of the falls, which will
give you faint idea of what Twin
and Shoshone falls look like.
The Snake river canon is from five
to seven hundred feet deep, and some
places the walls are nearly perpendi-
cular.
We have had a very nice fall so
far, farmers were still blowing two
days ago. We can see plenty of
snow on the Saw Tooth mountains
seventy-fve miles from here. The
snow will stay on the mountains
from now until next July or August,
before it is all gone.
The principal crops raised here
are wheat, barly, oats, beans, onions,
potatoes, alfalfa hay and clover seed.
The farmers who have clover seed
this fall are making money as it is4O
cents per pound, and clover seed is
good this year, making eight and
nine bushels per acre. This is red
clover, white G. 144 has made as high
as II bu. perfacre, wheat make from
thirty to sevsnty7five bu. this year,

Dear Mother:

DSdI NholACi.
AS this is Thanksgiving day,
thought it would be the right thing
to write you letter. am well land
I'll of the boys are we'll and looking
forward to the day we start for the
good old U. S., we are thinking it
won't be long to wait.
wrote you in the last letter, to
send me the Recorder, I would like
to see all of the news from home as
we'll as hear it, so you know that
can when I get the Recorder.
We are on our way to &c rmany
now, am not far from the frontier,
now but we don't know when we will
go. The weather is bad now, it is
rainy and muddy, lots of work to do
to keep our clothes clean but we
don't mind that just to think what it
would have been if the war should
have lasted this winter. I think the
boys are as thankful that the war is
over as anything else, we have had
hard time but great is the victory
that was hard to win. Well, had a
good dinner today also had talk
from our General, it was fine, none
of you, mothers would be or need be
ashamed of your sons, if you would
have heard it. How are all of the
people in good old Highland.
Your Son,
PIT. Kenton Kramer,
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1919-01-17

The number of deaths chronicled
in the Recorder this week is unusual
ly large for the week. The cause
of death does not have much to do
with mitigating it's sadness, but at
time when the world is being scourg
ed by an epidemic it is something to
be thankful for to note that nearly
all those who have recently died in
Highland have reached a ripe old
age, and that only one or two of the
total number were victims Of influ-
enza.
Perhaps never in the history of
, the world har there been such NOR
talety, and no city, hamlet, or coun-
try side seems to be free from the
scourge.
In many instances whole families
have been wiped out, physicians are
Over-taxed and nurses are not equal
to the demand. Burial outfits and
funeral supplies have not only advan
ced in price 100 percent, but city
dealers and jobbers are unable to
supply the demand. The situation
is one of worldwide concern, but
thecommunity that can avoid a.
larm and panic is in better shape to
exercise good, common sense and
will succeed best in avoiding and cop
ing with the epidemic.

Hello dad"


Hello Dad,
Just line TO make a
brief outline of my d0ing since May
rs, 1918
You have by your visit TO Camp
Lee, Il casual knowledge Of my tine
while there. Well I haven forgot
ten yet, even though peace y is at
hand, to be a soldier.
Shortly before we left Camp Lee l
was promoted to Sergeant. With
this .ank started with the others
to help Gay our debt &C France.
On the 25th of May W. b Rad 10
City Point. This was ii hard like.
I carried OF e of the boys psck.'. tih,
yes I had my own. How can you
have l coi.rade unless YOU are one?
Late in the evening we arrived at
the wh..::f at City Point, near Hope
we'll rTa:e we went alb II the r!v.
er boat "Pocahontas." at six o'clock
we started down the river James.
The next morning at three o'clock
we reached Norfolk. Here we ship
ped on the mongolia" This vessel
is recorded as having destroyed the
first U boat. I have since learned
of the crew being decorated for this
act.
We were on the Atlantic fouliee
days. Three of these were sore days
for me. Anyway the fish enjoyed
the treat. Later / became myself
and had a very nice time. The Y.
NJ c. A. gave picture shows. say
picture instead of movies, due to the
fact that the pictures were SO small.
Anyway they were immensely en-
joyed There were number of box
ing bouts and other games. Then
we had physical drill every day.
There were twelve transport when
we started and as we journeyed on
ward eight more joined us, making
total of twenty transports loaded
with "Yanks."
The day beforeAwe landed the con-
voy put out straiet for land guarded

,eans from twenty-five to forty blu.

beans from twenty-five to forty bu.
We cut alfalfa hay three times a
year, get from four to six ton per
acre. If any one in Highland is
short on hay, send them to me, have
two hundred tons, this years hay. I
will sell at ten dollars a ton.
When this tract was first opened
up the settlers put out lots of orchards
and after they got to bearing they
had so much fruit they had no sale
for it, and in the last three years
there have been hundreds of acres Of
trees pulled up and burnt.
1 often think that if the Highland
people understood irrigation, how
much they could better their hay
crops and pasture land by using
those beautiful mountain streams to
irrigate. Any one interested should
make a trip out here and learn how
to run water uphill"
Well, Mr.. Editor, I don't know if
you will publish this or not, but I
think you should, for have been
gone from dear old Highland for
seventeen years and have always TAX
en- the Recorder, and this is the first
letter I have ever bothered you with
and if there is any thing that SOUNDS
unreasonable, just come out to Idaho
and l will show you for I used to'live
in Missouri,
With best regards to all.

Received your letter and was
glad to hear from you and that all
of the folks at home are we'll.
j have been up to the front and
have had some close shaves, but it is
all over now. We had some time
when we were at the front, when we
were putting up barb wire entangle-'
ment in no mans land and the shells
were bursting all around us and the
machine guns weresniping at us, it
caused many of us to think, when
is the one coming that will get us
but am one of the lucky ones and
am left to tel the stories when get
back home.
I have left France, came through
Belgium and am in Luxembourg now
