George Delaughter Writes
His Mother.
. December 6, 1918.
Dear Mamma:
How are you all now? Well, I hope.
I received your letter to-day and was
so glad to hew from you all and to
know you are well. You don't know
how proud I would be to get home
once more for good.
I was sorry to hear that Capers
had to go to camp, but I am glad he '
wont have to come over here for it !
is over now..
I was in hattie November 10 and
ll, right up in the front line the last
day and I heard the last shot fired on
the front. I thought my time was to 1
come at any moment, but the Lord |<
was with me and I didn't get even a '
scratch. When I went into battle, I
asked God to take through and he !
did, and after it was over, I thanked
Him for it. We went through some ;
awful shell fi? e the morning of the
11th: They stopped firing the 11th I
month. 11th day-and the 11th hour, j
and there were many proud soldiers.
I was one when peace came. It was :
tough times. Bullets passed me any
where from ten feet to one half inch, j
That was dose, but I have always j
heard "a miss was as good as a mile."
I will tell you more about it when 11
see you and I hope to be h orne some-.
*ime in the near future, time enough 1
to start my farm again. I was sorry ?
t? hear Johnnie had left us. It wont,
seem like the same place, although '
I was glad to hear Mrs. Prince and ,
Abbie woald rent the place from him. |
? hope Johnnie will have good luck
hut I am afraid he has made a bad t
move. He had better stayed on the ?
farm, for it is the life to live in the
world.
I suppose Papa must be having a
time with Capers, Johnnie and my
self both away, but tell him the good j
Lord is going to bring me back to ?
him before long, and the next time I j
go, it will be as it was this time, I do 1
not think I will volunteer, while I
don't regret going and doing my j
duty, and would do so if necessary.
There is not very much sickness
over here now. I am glad you receiv- j
ed my money. I began to think it was
lost. Save me some Christmas cake,
for I will be glad to get itVhen I get J
home. v
Tell Aunt Carrie that Tom is all j
0. K. too after the battle, and give :
them and Grandpa my love. There is '
no one can tell how touirh is was but
those who were in it, for I was in the
thickest of the fitrht. I will write to i
Papa and Lila tomorrow. >
My love to all, and^lell them I am 1
living, thank God.
Your son in France.
George Delaughter.
\To the Members of the Edge
field Methodist Church
On account of the influenza quar
antine, all church services are called
off for an indefinite period. This is
working a great hardship on church
finances, as our expenses are running
steadily on. The first quarterly Con
ference for the year is to be held at
Trenton on February 2, less than
three weeks off, hence it will be
necessary for all members to send in
their offerings to the treasurer, Mr.
J. D. May within the next few days,
as we are supposed to have one
fourth of all assessments for the year
in hand by the time of the quarterly
Conference. Please let those who can
make generous contributions for the
quarter.

My finger is getting on fine and
can use it very well, can bend it an

(Dear Lillie and family:
Am just back fr?m one of the prin
cipal cities of France, went on busi
ness though mostly. Saw lots-of
grand sights, one was the third lar
gest cathedra] in the world. It cer
tainly is a wonderful piece of archi
j test ure.
I How is Elisabeth liking the school?
Hope she will stay and study hard.
Am very glad to hear of her good re
ports. Tell her to write me if she is
allowed to, or you give her a permit
to write to me. Don't let her stay at
home after Christmas. After she
stays where sbje is a year, then she
can go to some coll?ge she will like
better.
How are the dairy and the crop?
Mamma wrote, me that Papa's crop
was very good considering the dry
weather. We see absolutely nothing
grown over here but grain, irish pota
toes and poppies. Saw lots of hops up
in Belgium and it was very pretty,
growing on a frame about twenty
feet high. Save me a big water melon
next summer, buy lots of good mu
sic, for I am going to spend a day
with you. I am anxious to see the
land where the sun shines.
I am on the samo job, see lots of
letters going to Henry Harris regis
tered, but
Do you ever hear from M. D. now?
I don't hear from him very often. He
made good h the navy BO far and is
now making a fairly good salary. I
wouldn't be in the navy though, I got
enough of it coming over. T know
every body has to get used to it, but
I had just enough to fill me up, was
sick nins days.
With lova,
Claude.
Letter from Willie Cheatham
to His Aunt, Mrs. R. E. Morgan
Somewhere in France,
December 7, 1918.
Dearest Aunt Bessie:
1 have just returned to my batal
lion somewhere in France, and upon
returning found: your letter waiting
for me. Oh, I was so glad to hear
from you again,.
I thank you ever so much for wish
ing to send me a Christmas box. I did
not get any of the Christmas tickets
until it was too late to send them, so
I thought I could make out just as
well without a Christmas box.
I will just wait for the time which
is sooji. coming when I oan erjby
those Hood things with you all. Just
write every chance you have, and if
you never have time, do so at a half
chance.
Aunt Bessie, I have been on fur
lough in London. You can imagine a
grand time. Some city, believe "Old
Bill." A place for the Yanks to have
a good time. My furlough, I enjoyed
so much, but the long journey was a
trifle wearisome.
While in London, I forgot that
there had ever been any war, or that
I ever did any fighting, but it is well
we can forget such horrible things as
wc did and saw.
I am glad that you have heard
from Percy and I hope he is not
wounded as badly as thought.
I am getting on just fine and ami
as solid as a dollar, but my escape is:'
a miracle. |
If you see Lieut. Greneker again
tell him "hello" and that I said he ceri
tainly was lucky. * J
I have just received and read al
letter from Maude Ligon. They all
will write to me sometimes, but
seem to be very slow. She told me
the last time they heard from John
nie Ligon he was coming across, so I
don't guess he has been over long e
nough to have gotten into the fun,
as some of the boys call it. Now, it
didn't se<\n .ike fun to me, but I'm
going 1 _ fQ you one little instance
of w* ici. i Know to be true. While my
company was going over the top and
the enemy was retreating, one little
boy looked around to some of the
boys at his side-burst into a big
laugh and said , "Boys, isn't this
fun!" I tell you the Yanks are hard
to beat, they all have the right spirit,
don't you think so?
I hope I will not have to write yon
all many more letters before I will
see you again. I am looking for a let
ter from home every day now, I don't
think they write me as often as they
should.
Well, Aunt Bessie, when I do get
to see you all, will try and give you
a little of my oxperience.
Write me as often as you tan, I al
ways like to hear from you and Un
cle Edd.. I am going to writo to Jan
ie? right away.
With love to yon all,
Willie T. Cheathai*.
