After fighting and chasing the Ger

on the eleventh month, eleventh day
and eleventh hour that peace was de-
clared, and from then on we didn't
hear a cannon roar. The white flags
were all over the battle front. You

coming back to their homes-happy,
OH so happy. They sure do love the
American soldiers. We are on long
hike now to Germany. We hiked
thru Franco into Belgium and to
Luxembourg and are now on our way
to Germany.
We are seeing come wonderful
sights and countries, believe me, and
the Belgian people are SO kind to the
Americans. We are the first Ameri-
cans to come thru here, and they will
do anything for us, for they look to
us as their delivcrcrs. l have gone

On my trip l spent several days
in Paris and it is indeed beautiful
city. In this place the Y also had
a sightseeing trip which / took in,
for this was the best way of seeing
the interesting sights. We went into
the church in which so many people
were killed on Good Friday by the
Big Bertha. and there was a real
large hole in the roof of this build
ing. Went into the Notre Dame
Church also and saw some of the
prettiest window panes here that
had ever seen before. Visited the
Eiffel Tower which is 984 feet hign
and on whose top so persons can be
served meals and several hundr ed can
stand. Rode on the Ferris wheel
800 feet high and took eighteen
minutes to make one revelation, and
we could get some nice views from
the highest point on this wheel. Saw
the Hotel de Invalides. where are
located many large guns, trench NOR
tars, field guns, aeroplenes, pill
boxes, etc., captured irom the Ger
mans. We saw many more interest
ing and historical places which I
cannot think of at present timeH And
we took some automobile drives after
this. mostly on the Boulevard Boisl
du Bologne, and it is very pretty
with several parks on each side of
the street. In our voyage we passed
President Poincare's residence which
is very beautiful.
You see that / have seen many
places since / left home about a year
ago, and am liable to see many more
before l get back. We are supposed
to get furlough every four months,
but they gnerally are delayed for
some reason. hope that / take my
next leave in the States after the war
IS over and l do not believe that it
will be long until this is realized.

Few more months. Best wishes to
you always. Your friend,

JESSE WHITESELL ESTATE

At public sale Wednesday j. E.
Fields was the highest bidder OF
$44,575 for the Jesse Whitesell es-
tate, located one mile west of the
city. There were two tracts in the
deal-one containing 155 acres, more
or less, known as the home place of
Jesse Whitesell, deceased; the other
containing 100 acres, more or less,
lying in the Sixteenth Civil District
of Obion County, Tennessee, just
across the State Line road from said
home place. The property also .ad-
joins the big Fields estate and is said
to be the best land in the vicinity.
On the estate is a handsome brick
dwelling formerly occupied by the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Whitescll. Owing
to its location near the city makes it
a delightful suburban home, but it is
doubtful whether Mr.. Fields and his
family will consider a change from
their present home place.
Mr.. Fields is one of the largest
land owners in this vicinity and is
said to be one of the best farmers in
western Kentucky. On his place he
uses tractors and the most modern
farming implements of every de-
scription. He is now being congratu-
lated on his recent purchase of the
Whitesell estate, which is nice ad-
dition to his large estate of fertile
acres. Fulton Leader.
