A letter has come to Abbeville written on New Years telling of an enjoyable trip over France. He and his Captain had two days in Paris and saw the big parade given for President Wilson and the President himself passing in a carriage. The city was in-gay attire and lights were on which had not burned since the beginning of the war. The girls of gay Paree like our soldiers and Roddy,?though it must not'be known in Due West?paraded the streets arm in arm with two pretty.girls he had never seen before, while two equally as pretty, clung to his Sam Brown belt jin the back. He and his captain finally had to take tp their heels to save their caps. He visited Nice, Marseilles, going to the Italian border, enjoying the magnificent scenery especially. He a look at Monte Carlo, though on account of his uniform, he could only "peep" through the door and was shocked to see the greater portion of the gamblers good looking women. The young Lieutenant says he had a turkey dinner twice on his trip and that the Captain has bought at $1.00 a poUnd, enough to treat the company.

Dr. F. E. Harrison writes us from Tampa, Fla., where he is resting com fortably at a big hotel, built out of red brick, if the picture map took1 it right when he made the postal oil j which the doctor wrote. This reminds us, however ,that the picture and map people do not always get the colors right, as a traveler once found out when he entered the state of Indiana. . When told that he was in that state, he disputed the assertion violently because the Georgraphj which he had studied showed thai Indiana was a red state, while the land, where he then was, was of ar entirely digerent color. But this is not to the subject. The doctor continues to improve. H< says so himself, and then we know h< is a great deal better because he in quires specifically about his friendi and associates in the Setback Col lege.

He had driven over the Jones place in Fort Pickens, which he recently purchased, in order to look after some work he was having done. When he had finished j he cranked up the Ford car in which j he was traveling, and started back to town. On reaching the end of the, lane leading from the Jones house into the street, he discovered that] the steering gear of his car was notj working, and he was unable to make the turn. Neither could he stop the car in time, so that the Ford went nn flprnsr flip r+tpp+. anil dnwn inf.n the twenty-five foot cut of the Southern Railway. Though the banks are almost perpendicular, the Ford kept its feet, so to speak, and made the trip to the bottom in good' order, where it fortunately landed in soft mud. Mr. White was duly frightened, but escaped without a scratch or a1 j bruise. The Ford was considerably j damaged, however, the front wheels1 j being smashed, and the rods and front axle being bent. , NEW CASHIER. .
