Home from Visit to
Our Soldier Boys
Rev. J. C. Crittenden of Tip
returned this week from Camp
Beauregard, La., where he spent
Friday, Saturday and Sunday in
camp with Company A of the
154th Infantry, 39th Division, U.
S. N. G., visiting his son, Hester
who is a member. He states
that the boys are doing well and
aside from a little longing for a
visit back home, are alright, but
that they do not like there as
they did Camp Pike. He says
that a letter or a box of sweets
from home is prized very highly
and that they are always glad to
receive anything from the folks
“back home.” Following is a
letter that he brought us and
which we gladly publish which
shows that our boys are not only
sacrificing their lives, but are
also willing to help Uncle Sam
financially in winning this war:

McCrory Wins Another
Two Games.
McCrory High School Eleven
defeated Augusta High this,
Friday, afternoon on the local
field. The football score stood
12 to 0 in the third quarter in
favor of the home boys and
when Perkins of McCrory made
another touchdown, Richardson
of Augusta, the referee, refus
ed to let' the same be counted
claiming the player was off
side, whereupon his claim was
disputed. The home boys
had the ball in their pos
session the greater part of the
game and won out with effcient
work in forward passes. The
visitors played a clean game and
each of the contestants left the
gridiron with a friendly feeling.
The basket ball game was full
of errors and McCrory’s superior
ity in pitching goals easily won
for them by a score of 17 to 4.
The visitors scored only upon
free throws while the enormous
score of the locals was won by
efficient field work.-*
