in an effort that is being made to
procure two captured German can
Mons for the Greene county court
ynrd The efforts being made in
that direction are in the hands OF
congressman w. J. Driver, of Osce-
ola. The guns, it is said, viii be OF
the type that were generously used
bv tho Germans at the front IN
France and are the exact ones cap
tured by the United States overseas
forces. While there seems to be the
promise of only one cannon II Is
believed Congressman Driver Will be
able TO get double allotment.
It is the plan to have the two
guns mounted in two of tho corners
of the court yard, serving as age
long souvenirs of the world war
and commemorating the part that
Greene county played in that great
est of conflicts. Many counties
throughout the south are awaiting
themselves of the opportunity TO get
these mementos and there is much
local interest in getting them fol
this county.

a letter from Hon. s. II. Simpson

Judge Driver and he is more than
delighted TO have me inform you that
he Will be able TO get you one
cannon. al least. There seems to
have been some trouble about how
the guns would be distributed. and
this caused delay in the distribu-

men for their districts. Just as
soon as the manner of distribution
Is adjusted by some committee that
has the matter i'll charge, Judge
Driver will get his allowance and
you Will be sure to get splendid

If we can get two guns we will
be delighted to let you have a
double allotment. but OF this we are
not able to make a promise just

assure you that your wishes will
be complied with in the matter

cousin Miss Esther Smith, she was a
