Magaiis and Scanlon. Both OF these

LETTERS FROM SOLDIER BOYS

Mussy-La-F osse, France, Jan. II
At home, l was constant reader of
your paper, and I think l have few
unes that might be of interest to you
ana my friends in the surrounding ter
rItory that is covered by your circula-
Clon. have a little news about
france and can write of several
experiences l have had since leaving
America three months ago. My trip
across the Atlantic was some excit-
ment. We were chased by sub-ma-
rInes, but am glad to say that there
was no damage done TO our convoy of
troop ships.
We LETT Camp Merritt, N. j., and
went to New York, where we boarded
the Vaterland, the largest transport
ship afioat. 1t was some ride to be
seven days on board ship and see
nothing but water. The soldiers were
ali fed good and had good sleeping
quarters. I've slept in many places
DuU a hammock was the downfall of
several good men. 1t was tine sleep
ing as long as the ocean was calm; but
as soon as it was rough, the old
hammocks swayed back and forth,
causing many a soldier to tumble to
The moor of the ship. Some of the
boys didn't even have to go the front
10 show their loyalty, as 1 have seen
several at the rail OF the ship giving
up their "alP'. Pll say some were sea-
SICK.
1t was a good day for US when
we landed in Brest, France, October
z, 191S-anythlng to get away from
the water and see a little land. At
ter spending five days at Brest, we
started TO ride Yankee-style on the
e. L.
Riding Yankee-style means to pack
about thirty soldiers in a small box
car (about naif the size of an Ameri
can carr and start, back up and start,
Tor about two days to get one hum
bred miles or more. The boys enjoy
riding "A-La-Box-Car." The rail-
ROADS are queer-looking things COM
pared with those of the U. S. A.
After fifteen days at Canary, we
Travelled in the same old style to LA
Mons" This is the largest city 1
have seen in France, but our time was
limited 10 one day, so one couldn't
see very much of the place. After
little more moving around our compa-
ny was split up and sent around to NIL
up different companies. L was sepa-
arted from the boys L left home with,
and l am now IN Co. 1, 81 Inf, Is
division. This company has battled
the Huns on the st. Mlhiel and Yer
uun fronts and are now resting and
expect to be sent back to the states
soon. As l am one of them, | hope
they soon pull for that direction. They
are now at Mussy-La-Fosse, France.

70 miles west of DIXON, France.

This is small place but is having

SISTER MATHEWS

Sister Ava Hart Mathews, wife of
Bro. T. w. Mathews of Kempville,
is dead. She was born September %,
1855, she professed religion in her
girlnood days and joined the NJ. E.
church, South; but later on, became
convinced that the Baptists were hold
ing the doctrines she believed the BIZ
BILE to teach, and Joined the Baptist
church at Shady Grove, and later
moved to Mt. Vernon where she held
membership when she died. She lived
a consistent member of her church
until she was called home. She was
married to Leroy Cage in 1871. To
them were born seven children, four
of whom are still living. Her first
husband died in June 1887. She lived
a widow for a time and then married
Ed. T. w. Mathews, a minister of
great ability and one who stands
among the strongest defenders of the
Baptist faith. To them were born
five children, three of whom are still
living. She was good mother, loved
Carthage courier. (Carthage, Tenn.) 1913-current, 1919-02-20

her husband and children. She was
called Aunt" Ava by her neighbors
and was a good neighbor All who
knew her will miss her. She was
loved by her neighbors and friends
and was considered brave soldier of
the Cross. The night before she
died, she held up her hands and said,
"glory glory" She shook hands with
all present and pied with sinners to
meet her in heaven and some promised
to meet her. She died in the faith.
She lived and triumphed, no doubt,
in His grace and went to her resting
place to await the coming~~of the
Lord.
Aunt" Ava died~January q, 1919,
at the age of~63 years, 4 months and
4 days.~~She leaves an aged and fee
bic husband, seven children and host
OF friends to mourn their loss. We
have been in the home many times
and always loved to go to their home.
She was strong Baptist, she loved to
hear the doctrine, and often got happy
and shouted aloud and said she
hoped that she would live to sac all Of
her children saved and the Lord not
only granted that request but let her
live to see her youngest child saved
with all the rest and see him ordained
a deacon and serve two years in that
capacity. Poor Brother Mathews.
You are so lonely. May the Lord
help you. Children, your dear mother
is gone, but you will meet her some
day. We mourn not as those who
have no hopes, and may the Lord help
you all to be resigned to His will.
Let me die the death of the righte-
ous-my last end be like his.
There was a large crowd at her fun
eral, considering the flu scare. The
funeral was conducted at the home
by this scribe. She had long since
asked me to preach her funeral, and
we tried to fill the request. Brother
Mathews was in bed at the time with
the flu and some of the others have
had it. Mothers smiles are gone
from the home and her kind words we
will hear no more. Mother, your
children, who once were babes, are
larger now; tiny hands, though small
they were, are grown now; the forms
that you once carried in your arms
are men and women now, but our
hearts are unchanged. In Gods grace
we live; in His love let us die.
