John Jordan of Dixon Springs, who
was among the boys to serve Uncle
sam In Europe, has been spending a
few days in Carthage. Some time ago
a friend of Johns wrote him a letter
and the epistle trailed him through
r rance, England and back to Car
thage; from here, it was forwarded
to a camp in North Carolina and after
going to a camp at Louisville came
lack to Carthage and eventually
found him at Dixon Springs. This
calls to mind that a Smith county
girl, who has been writing to her
soldier sweet heart abroad, recently
had sixteen of her letters returned to
her at one time.
