I guess that will be some time during the next year, maybe six or eight months, and it may be in two-but we can be more contented now as the war is over.

We were ahead of the troops, just small crew of six of us. We had on full pack and rifles, and a set of high power glasses. In some of the, viii lages we came through the territory was almost impossible. We could hardly get through the streets, as sometimes we would be the first Americans to reach these villages. Bells would ring, women would cry for joy, everyone saying "Viva la France, Viva Amerique," which, when translated, means Long live France and America" They were overjoyed at the victory of the allies.
 After crossing Alsace-Lorraine, we took truck, crossing Luxemburg another wonderful place, where we enjoyed staying while. While there we stayed in the house with some people by the name of Ganderla, who wre splendid. Then we loaded on the trucks and crossed the Moselle river, which lies between Luxemburg and Germany.

The following most interesting let, ter comes from Wm. A. Sneed to his parents, MT. and Mrs. J. F. Sneed, of Swifton. Young Sneed has had quite a fighting career, and was selected as one of the few men of the Intelligence department to precede the army of occupation into Germany:
 Dear Parents: I am well and feel ing fine. Everything is going good over here.
 It will be quite a while before I can come home, for I am in the army that is going to take over and occupy ene- my territory by agreement of the ar mistice. I belong to the Intelligence D partment of the Fourth Army corps.
 I am in Germany now, as I believe I wrote you before, and will proceed further into Germany soon. We ob- servers go along to get information for the army by seeing what we can and learning of conditions. So you see it may be a good while before I get to come home. l would love to return, but I suppose Uncle Sam needs me, so I will have to stay awhile longer.
 Mother, I have a little Testament I would like to send you, but l am afraid it might get lost. It is one l received before I left the states. It is the only thing have that brought over with me. I carried it over the top with me four times and swung onto it while in the hospital. You see when one gets wounded it is hard to keep anything.

CARRIED BOOZE
 AND FIRE ARMS
-Four Negroes Are Arrested by John Massey As They Come To City
 From Poplar Bluff.

Four negroes who gave their ad- dresses as Augusta landed in New port from Poplar Bluff Friday morn ing on Missouri Pacific passenger tfain No. and when arrested by Night Marshal John Massey were found to be carrying plenty of whis- key and a pistol each and enough ammunition to put down Mexican re- volt.
 They were taken before Mayor Err win and each was fined $107, includ- ing the costs, for carrying firearms. Their employers at Augusta, a mer- cantile firm, arranged for their bond over the telephone and they were re- leased. Friday afternoon they were re-arrested by Deputy U. s. Marshal Elmer Hinkle and taken to Batesville, where they will be tried for bringing whiskey into the state from Mis- souri.
 Each negro carried quantity of whiskey aggregating forty quarts. Their names are George Mitchell, who had .45 Colts on his person; Fred Mitchell, who carried .38 Colts; Chas. Mitchell, who carried 32 au- tornatic; Council Berry, who carried a .3S Smith and Wesson. Each negro had fifty rounds of ammunition, the aggregating number of shells carried by them totalling 200. They did not offer resistance, however, when ar rested
 Officer Massey deserves much cred it and congratulation for his haul, which is about the biggest ever made in Newport, and as a result of the haul the city was enriched by S4O0 and four law-breakers were sent on their way for trial in federal court
 The encouragement of such charac- ters as these from their white em- pIoyers, who readily fill the bonds of law breakers, is a thing to be deplor- ed by every law-abiding citizen. Such encouragement as this does not infrequently lead to tragedy.

ADMISSIONS TO BE
 TRIED IN MARCH.

Heber Springs, Jan. 10.-Tom Ad- kisson and his two sons, Hardy and Bliss, have been placed in the Gle burne county jail, where they proba- bly will remain until circuit court convenes here in March. They are charged with first degree murder.
 On the morning of July r, Sheriff Duke and several deputies went to the home of Tom Adkisson, who lived in the southeastern part of Cleburne county. in search of Bliss Adkisson and others, who were charged with desertion and resisting the draft. Up- on their arrival a battle was fought between the Adkissons and the sher- ifs posse, in which Porter Hazle- wood was shot and fatally wounded. He lived only few hours. Later general man-hunt took place in that part of the county. Participating in if were a company of soldiers from Little Rock, officers and citizens from Cleburne, White and Faulkner counties. The men finally surren- dered to officers and four of them, Leo Martin, Lon Penrod and two of the Blakeys were sent to the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth for five years.
 The others have been awaiting trial and when the federal court convened at Batsville this week, the three Ad- kissons were turned over to the of ficers of Cleburne county to be tried here for murder.

there four days and moved to Merle, which is on the Moselle in Germany, staying there two days. Then we came here, Sehl, near which is a large village called Chasen. I have no idea how long we will remain here. We have fine quarters with some fine people, who do all they can for our comfort.
 In travelling down the Moselle in an automobile I have seen some of the prettiest sights I ever saw or expect to see. On both sides of the river are high mountains. On one of the peaks near Sehl is an old castle built during Caesars time. Napoleon captured the castle and blew it's top off, though it was rebuilt later. At night the lights from the village reflect in the Moselle river The Moselle is pretty, but not long stream. 1 am not sor- " I came, and I would not take any thing for my experience.
 The fighting in which took part taught me what hard times are. l was never off the front while in France except while was in the hos pital. I only received two bullets, one in my hand and the other in my leg. I never said anything in my letters to you about being wounded the sec ond time, because thought it might worry you. I am sound as ever now.
 I was wounded the second day of the battle of Chateau-Thierry. was also in the fighting at Cantegny during the last of May and took part in the St. Mihiel in September while with the First division, until l was wounded. Major Teddy Roosevelt was my battalion commander, and he sure was fine man. All the boys liked him.

NOTHING TO HARDY COURT.

The term of circuit court at liar dy this week was very short affair. When the court opened Monday morn ing it developed that there was but one case on the criminal docket and a single case on the civil docket, and the court was adjourned until the next regular term. Such short terms of court as Sharp county has been having for several years may be rather rough on the lawyers, but they speak eloquently for the people at large.-Evening Shade Record.

Berlin, Friday, Jan. 10.--Heavy fighting is reported between the Poles and Germans in the Province of Posen. The Germans captured Czar- ikau but were later forced to with draw to the Northern Bank of Metz. Unless the command of the province can be regained by Germans the ac- tion of the Poles appears to serious ly threaten the provisioning of all Northern Germany.
