If you can spare me a few minutes this morning, I will try to write yoj j. ? *arrr iinae wish t cnnlri make it a ! Qt "uvwi " * long letter, but that is h?ird to write ' over here. About all we can say is j that we are well and so far are in' the best condition. Life is no joke In this part of the country. We work j hard, eat a little and sleep some.1 Some times the rest periods are short j and we have to keep at it for long : hours. That is all a part of the game, for the supplies must keep moving to the hoys in the trenches, or rather I should say at the front. Since reaching France, I have been kent on the move. At times I do not? stay more than two days in a place I like that kind of life for it gives a chance to see the country. At present I am the roughest camp I have struck. (May be here some time, then I may move tomorrow. We have shacks to live In, plenty to eat and sufficient clothing. The weather Is rough, which makes it a little unpleasant at times. But taking everything into co" 'ideration, we sLre faring niceiy. I trust that ill are well at home t get my mail pretty rcgu'nrly. so ? ?"v ?v.i Can Keep up Willi wuai is ua^cuuis j if the news is a moutii old when it i reaches me. I do rot know whether ; you hear trom me or not. Can only fcope that you d->. I write as often as I can, which is on an overage of ebout once a week. Whether my let- I ters are getting through, I do not j know. We felloes are all hoping the war will soon be ovir, so we c^n f.et back home.

Taking note of the fact that the edito of The Herald and News, after a visit to Greenville, soid that the ambu lances and hearses were going all day on account of the deaths from influenza prevailing in that city caus ing a great many deaths, several sentences of a letter from a lady in Greenville to a relative here will b<? in order. She says: "They did not let it be known in Greenville how alarming it was (or rather outside of Greenville). Why, the doctors did not begin to have time to see, or racher visit, even one time, many who were sick. Mr. was all day and into the nisht trying to get his doctor to come and see his sister, who was suffering fearfully and with fever one hundred and four degrees. When the infhienza was raging here, there would be nearly one hundred poor soldiers' bodies at the undertakers .at one time." This coincides with the editor's statement that the day he was there "there were dead at the morbus of all the undertaking establishments/' But we are glad to say that the lady concludes: ^Well, it is better now, and I hope the worst is over." So do we. Langford-Danner. From a Beaufort paper. A pretty, quiet wedding took placi at 8 p. m. October 8, 1918, at the Baptist parsonage when Miss (Marietta Langford was married to Lieut.

Rightly they are not ' j "puffy" or "taffy" but simple personal j mention, given for the benefit of the local readers, and if you have a friend or relative visiting you, let us know and we will he glad to give the item proper notice.
