NEWARK MAN WRITES
FROM PARIS ISLAND
Editor Journal.—Please give
me just a litle corner, as I
would like to drop my many
friends in and around Newark
a few lines.
I am a marine soldier at
Paris Island, S. C. I enlisted
in March 17, 1918, and was
sent here, where I took two
months training. Instead of
sending me across to France,
they kept me here and
assigned me to a job as deck
hand on a passenger boat. I
worked at that about six weeks
and went from there to the
wheel (pilot) and have been at
that job for some time.
So you see that I don’t
know so much about the war.
I have a brother over there
that I hope will get back to tell
us boys that didn’t get to go,
something about war, and we
can tell them something about
work, for we surely know.
I feel safe in saying that out
of the 30 thousand men we
have here (or have had) that
there was not a dozen who did
n’t want to go across. But the
war is now over and there is
many a happy boy returning
home.
. Don t knew just when I will
get out myself, but don’t think
it can be so very long. I have
the pleasure of reading The
Journal each Monday, and
want to thank my uncle, El
mer Mayhan, many times for
it.
Well, I have told you all
about myself, and my work, so
about the weather. The wea
ther is certainly fine. Never
gets very cold. We had ice
only one night this winter. We
have lots of good heavy cloth
es, and have no use for them.
It rains lots here, but is usually
warm, and the heavy rains
never bother here; never caus
es any overflows. All the ov
erflows we have is the tide
which comes every 12 hours.
It is like the moon ; it is a lit
tle later each day. Full moon
we have full tides. It comes
up six hours and goes down
six hours, so you see we have
S-O-M-E
Goodies!

Well, I guess I have written
about all The Journal will al
low me room for, so I am going
to quit by wishing all the boys
to drop a few lines in The
Journal, as I never overlook
anything in it.

We Have Been Very Dis
criminating in the Selection
of Pianos to Sell to YOU
Ever since 1853 we have been
buying and selling pianos. The
grandparents and great-grand
parents of many present-day
Little Rock citizens bought mu
sical instruments from us back
in the “fifties and sixties.”
The experience we have gained
proves to us that these pianos
are unsurpassed—Kimball Hol
lenberg, Hallet & Davis, Apol
lo, Hinze and Whitney—and 10
we offer them to you with the
knowledge that they cannot
fail to please.
