RETURNED FROM FRANCE

Maj. B. L. Mcdonald, formerly of
the Medical Corps, Coast Artillery,
arrived in Knoxville Sunday, March
9Th, having received his discharge at
Camp Eustis, Va, a day or so pre-
vious. He was met IN that city by
Mrs. Mcdonald and their two sons,
Roy and B. L. Jr., After spending
a couple of days with friends in Knox
vile they returned to their home at
Idol, Tenn, where the Major will re-
sumo his medical profession.
Previous to his entry in the mill
tary service he enjoyed a splendid
practice covering a wide territory
surrounding Idol, and his return will
be welcomed by the citizenship gen.
orally.
Major McDonald's service has been
distinguished by his rapid promotion
since his enlistment. He entered the
Medical Corps at Fort Oglethorpe,
Ga, about the first of March, 1918,
receiving a commission as First Lieu
tenant, and was promoted in June to
the Captaincy. He was then removed
to Camp Eustice, Va, where, through
efficient and faithful service, he won
his commission as Major, having
served only six months.
Shortly after receiving his commits
sion as Major he sailed for France
and saw four months service there
before returning to the States the
first of February. Major Mcdonald
reached France too late to see any
active service a. the battle front
which, he states, is his only regret.

$4,000 BONUS TO BE PAID TO SOL
DIERS DISCHARGED SINCE A.
PRIL 6, 1917.

Section 1406 of the Revenue Act
approved February "a, 1919 authori-
zes the payment of bonus of $4,000
to officers, soldiers, field clerks and
nurses of the Army upon honorable
separation from active service by dis
charge, resignation or otherwise. This

Those who are discharged hereaf-
ter will receive this bonus on the
same roll or voucher upon which
they are paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged

Dear Sister and Family:

Dear Sister and Family:

COUNTRY PAPER
SERVES COMMUNITY

On the basis of service alone the
country newspaper can justify its ex-
istence, in the opinion of one country
editor who attended farmers week at
the New York state college of agri-
culture.
"No matter how poor the paper
may, it serves it's community better
than most of its people of the COM
munity realize" said this editor.
"The mere fact that one man in
the place has some type, some ink,
some paper, and machinery, however
crude, for impressing that type on
the paper, "he went on" and has what
he, at least, calls newspaper which
the people of that community are
in the habit of receiving at regular
intervils, is of importance to that
community.
"a means of communication is thus
available - not as rapid, perhaps as
the three tells - telegraph telephone
and tell-a-woman but one less likely
to change the information as it cir
culates about the community. No
matter how small the circulation of
the local paper may be, let anything
of more than usual interest be printed
and every person in the community
is sure to read it"
