 solemn whispering. At last we were off to face the adventure bidding Camp Upton farewell. I will never forget the sight as long brown columns swung off into the darkness. We were not martialed away by the flare of music, but quietly fad ed into the night. Any at- tempt at conversation was sternly reprimanded by the off, fcers. This was my first reali- zation that I was off to war. ] We marched down to where. the troop trains were side tracked awaiting us. We quickly and quietly boarded them and were whirled away, everything like clockwork.

SOLDIERS RALLY

1dIlS Ol CIlG I0C011G Wal lIl6C III an interesting meeting at the Wherry Hall last Tuesday night at ' o'clock. Some worth while problems were discussed and it was in harmony with the lessons they had been taught while in the service, "to come back home and start move ments to better the home com munity thereby being worthy citizens and up-builders of the nation"
 Ninety per cent of the boys present expressed desire for a permanent home in Wood ruff county and want an op- portunity to carry out this desire by putting to use such land as yet that is untilable.
 Problems of good roads, drainage and better farms in Woodruff county are the Woodruff county are some of the things that these soldiers will promote and are agitating. They realize that Woodruff county should be a homeseek- CTS Paradise" and is the farming county of the state.
 All it needs is proper drain age and good roads, and all the land that is now under the water and causing a loss in produce not to mention the un- healthfullness of our people, can be put to real good use Every citizen should wake up to the advantage of thus bet tering our county and assist the soldiers to carry out the lec- lures given them while in the service to build up their home community.
 There were 22 white and IS colored vets who signed state ment that they were anxious to start a movement whereby they might own a farm in this county, making the purchase of this overfowed land and then putting forth their best efforts to make these farms productive to the betterment of Woodruff county.
 There was a sentiment un- animously expressed for club room for the soldiers similar to a Y. M. c. A. with modern comforts for their welfare and and pleasure while in McCrory A committee of Messrs. Roy w. Witt, Vernon Huff and R. L. Fraser was appointed to in vestigate the probability of es- tablishing such a place for the boys.
 There was also a unanimous vote to have a community gathering in the future to well come the boys who have re- turned from overseas and from the service.
 There will be another meet ing of the boys next Wednes- day night, March 19, at seven o'clock in Wherry's Hall. All citizens are cordially invited to be present and any encouraging words you will say will be ap-
 preciated by the soldiers.
