R. will give some pictures of Tillaloy, the French vil lage being reconstructed by the Na tional organization Daughters Amer ican Revolution. In connection with the pictures, Rev. A. L. Gunter will explain the scenes, and Miss Annie Clisby will give the story of Tillaloy. Miss Clisby is a graduate of the Le land Powers School of the Spoken Word in Boston, and has given great pleasure to the local chapter D. A. R. by her gifts in reading. Besides this there will be other features dur ing the evening. Tillaloy is a small village in Pic ardy, one of thc most fertile portions of France. In 1914 this province was occupied by the Gemans down to Campeigne. Then came the Battle of the Marne and the Germans were driven back twenty miles beyond Til laloy. Later, they forced the French as far as Roye and the surrounding towns. The French had made a stand and established themselves in a park of a chateau of Tillaloy. The Ger mans made their line 300 yards be yond that and for two years heavy fighting continued and the Germans never ceased to attack the French po sitions with artillery. In 1917 in the great German re treat, all this was evacuated. The French built roads and railroads but could do nothing for the villages. Til laloy was destroyed except two houses. These two houses are now be ig put in order and portable houses for the other inhabitants have been furnished during this winter. Enough money has been furnished for them to live on this winter and their crops are being planted. Brick is being made in the village and reconstruct ion work is beginning now in ear nest. A record is being kept in Tilla loy of all who helped, and should any one go there who had done so, they will see their name recorded. Tillaloy was a village of 600 in habitants and 60 miles north of Paris, in an old province of France across the channel from England. Picardy is a beautiful country, ad mired by artists, and in this historic province Charlemagne was crowned. Come and see for yourself. The money made will go for the placing of a bronze tablet on our Court House bearing the names of all our heroes who died in .the World War. Victory Loan Contests. A German helmet has been given to Mrs. Lovick. Mims, county chair man of the National Woman's Liber ty Loan Committee, to be used in some way to furthar the interest of the campaign. Mrs. Minis has decided to award this helmet as a prize for the window display best calculated to arouse enthusiasm and increase the sale of bonds. All the business firms of Edgefield, Trenton and John ston have been asked to enter the contests, and all have cordially a greed to do so. The windows will remain decorat ed from Thursday, April 24, to Thursday, May 1. During that time a committee representing the entire county will carefully inspect the win dows of all three towns and award the helmet. The winner is expected to display the helmet in the prize window dur ing the entire campaign. Another contest is also taking place in 'the schools of the county for 'another helmet to be awarded for the best slogan suggested by a pupil, this slogan to be used throughout the county during the Victory Loan cam paign. This contest closes April 28, j and a committee will make the deci sion at once and send the slogan ring ing to call to arms the citizens of the county. The slogan for the entire State is: "The barrage is down. Let's drive!" ANNIE M. CLISBY, Publicity Chairman Woman's Com : mittee. Club Work at Lott School.

I have been here long enough to see all of France that I want to see-and am ready to go home now. I am at a Red Cross tent to-night and am having the Red Cross Captain write this on his* typewriter for me. I am going to make this place my loafing place while Fm here. And so thought that I would have the Red Cross man write the letter so you would know how to plan for the crops. I want to be home irr time to do the biggest end of the work on the crops. So you can look for me to get there just as soon as I can. I am getting along fine and am well. I hope that you are all well too. I send my love and hope to see you all soon.

U gave him a example, if a field is 5 miles around how long will it take a man walking 3 1-2 miles per hour to walk '? 1-4 times around it? Tommy ain't a man, so we sent his father.
