been over him-that he has been en-
tth III allied Sy al 5nchtiai1eeT g.: during

SOLDIER LETTERS.

Miss Minerva Fisher of Lancaster
has received the following letter from
her brother, Corp. John Lotion Fish
er:
U. S. Debarkation Hospital No. 8,
New York City, January 81, 1919.
Dear sister: Will write you a few
lines tonight to let you know that I
am getting along fine. Am in a good
hospital. Would be willing to stay
here what time / have to stay in hos
pital if it were not so far from home
Think / will be sent nearer home in
a few weeks and you all can come to
see me often. If / don't have to stay
in New York, / shall expect papa to
come and stay with me for several
days. Don't think | will be in the hos
pital very long. Don't think / will
have to undergo another operation as
| think will get along all right with
out it.
We had a very nice voyage. Only
had two or three days of rough seas
and one pretty bad storm. We came
the southern route in order to avoid
so much rough water. 1t is a very
nice trip going 1000 miles on water,
but | don't want to make another one.
Didn't get sea-sick either way. Lots
of the boys, who were in the depart
ment with me, got sick coming back.
France is certainly beautiful
country, but not as pretty as the old
hills of Tennessee. 1 am walking on
clutches and am up most of the time.
We have movies ever night and con-
certs in the afternoons. Didn't go
tonight on account of having to write
some letters. This is my third one
and think will write four more be-
fore going to bed. Haven't heard
from home in about two months. The
letters which you have mailed will
probably reach me yet. / sent papa
another telegram this afternoon tell
ing him where l was; also wrote
letter yesterday. How are Tom and
the girls getting along these days?
Write me long letter and tell me all
the news in the neighborhood, and
send me the Carthage Courier as
would like to hear the news in dear
old Smith county. Your brother,

DIFFICULT RT. i

To the People of Smith County in
General, One and All:
As Uncle Sam has ended the great
war with the European Countries, it
now is our war at home-it is for
good roads to be built. AS we have
let our Government have our money
to win the war, Uncle Sam says for
us now to take our money back and
build roads with it. / heard a David
son County man make very slightly
remark about our roads a short time
ago. So let us get busy and help each
other to make our roads so we can
travel them with our wagons loaded
with farm products for the market.
We people of the Filth and Second
districts need our roads out of the
creeks. Who will be the first to give
right of way for this road? Let ev-
cry man and good woman who are in
terested in good roads make it known
by helping US by good words if not
work and money. We must have the
roads where the surveyor says they
should be. Let US people of Defeated
creek start the ball rolling by giving
our money we spent for stamps to our
roads as we get it back from Uncle
Sam. l will give my limit-a right
of way and money. Would like to
see an answer to this in next weeks
issue.
