Article headed the American Legion by 2nd Lt. L. H. Kohn was handed in to us on Sept.. 19th, but owing to press of other matter matter it has been unintentionally left out of former editions. We would like t ostate that Lt. Kohn has been discharged and is now in Newberry makiing a canvass for members for the Newberry county post of the American Legion. Great interest is being manifested by the ex-service men all over the United States in this organization and the men of this county should not fail to get in touch with the county organizer and ask for application blanks. He can be eached over telephone 92 or by mail. Veterans and comrades of the great war band together for your own good ..nd for the good of our country.
