Vaughn ' [ Mr. T. F. Curtis has received the r following letter from Mr. Frank P. * ^ Vaughn now in France. 8 Co. B, 117th Eng. J t Via N. Y., A.E.F. j , Dear Tom: * T I I wonder what you are doing these , , beautiful spring days, why you don't , write to me. You know I am always , pleased to read your long and inter- ( esting letters. } M I have been in the hospital for , 9 eight days with the mumps. I am j ? getting along fine and will be able for duty in a few days. We have lots ] e of fun in here. There are twenty- , t three of us in one ward, all with the | i numps. We are from fifteen or , i. more different States. I am the only j , one from old South Carolina. They ( U are all very lively and full of jokes. , I saw Evan tho day before I came : "o the hospital. He was well and having a good time. f Guess you are keeping up with ( ( about all that is going on over here ? so I think it useless to try to tell o you much about the world's war. All I can say is, do you realize that the i world's war, being fought to-day. is , u the bloodiest war of all history? I , had often read of war, but little did d I think that I "would ever experience ' what war really is. I have been lucky i enough to * * (cut out by cen- , i? sor). L I got into some pretty close places and my gun was put on the bum. Then is when 1 thought my time had s come, but I stood my ground while ; the shells were peppering down and the bullets whistling by and the star shells were bursting, which made it very light?too light when I was in No Man's Land. I made o.k. f I came out with only a slight barbcd!* wire scratch. So 1 think I have gained some pretty good experience of what war is, don't y >u? Self experience is e worth a lot of reading. I- It is worth a lot to see how the trenches are dug on the front line, i- and how the barbed-wire entanglea ments are strung out across No Man's e Land. When I saw it I thought of the dream of Uncle Joe * * * when he dreamed of going to hell. Do you remember the dream? It was hard for me to realize at first just e where I was and what was going on, d whether I was in active service in France or whether I was dreaming of n being in hell, but I soon found that g it was real and I began to attend to business. It was tough, but we were n satisfied, knowing that we were going to lick old Kuiser Bill. He is on his jg last big drive and is losing every day. r_ We are bringing down most all e the aeroplanes that he sends over. At the rate things are going, I don't think the war can last much longer. As my letter is getting rather long " I will close. Give my love to all. Your brother-in-law, *1 FRANK P VAimuw ...... . , v <lU\lllil it From Corp. C. F.

The quarantine may last 0 + ir ior irom one to fourteen days before f. leading:. We don't know where we will emi bark. The captain told me we would r- go straight through to France and r- not stay any time at the point of >. embarkation. Carrie, you all must be good and j. do the best you can. I am going to ,? do my part in this war willingly. Whatever else may happen, please n don't forget to write, for that is all v- the pleasure I will have, reading the e cheerful letters from home. , it This whole division of 27,000 men is going.

FOUR DESERTERS IN THE COUNTY The Local Board for Chesterfield County hnd to report four men a: deserters during the past week, anc very likely theye was not one of then that was wilfully guilty, their failure to report was possibly due to theii failing to get their orders on ac count of having changed their uddress and not notifying the Board. A deserter is a reflection on oui County, and the Board tries in everj way possible to locate men who fai to respond, so as to avoid trouble foi the men and also the blot on the records of the County. Every man that is liable to be called should see to it that the Loca Boarel has his correct address, anei should call for his mail regularly also every citizen should make it his business to look out for those wht may, through ignorance, fail to rea lize their responsibility and their dan ger.
