Newark Boy Says Huns Run
Sc Fast Americans Could
Hardly Keep Up
Mrs. E. L. Vaughan has re
ceived the following letter
from her son, Kirk, who is with
the American Expeditionary
Forces in France,
France, Oct. 20, 1918.
My Dear Mother.—Today 1
am many many miles away
from the dearest little mother
in the world, yet you are very
near for I carry you in my
heart and mind constantly.
Today you are dearer than ev
er before. If we .boys could
only return to our mothers this
morning, howmuch better and
how much more pleasure we
would be to our sweet mothers.
we realize that through
the lovtf, faith and prayers of
our mothers, mixed with pride,
loyalty and self-sacrifice on
our part, we soon will have the
greatest enemy to present civil
ization conquered. Then why
should any American boy hes
itate, or even argue in his mind
the chance to go on and destroy
these dirty beasts called Huns?
Perhaps you will never know
or “we” never realize again the
consolation of “Thoughts of
Home and Mother” or the val
ue of love to American boys. It
has w on battles and todav is |
pushing on toward that great
goal set by our beloved Presi-'
dent. We sit in our billets and
argue who has the dearest mc-j
ther. And of course each one
is so prejudiced that he can’t
be convinced that any one is
right but himself. Just now
one of the boys remarked that
he couldn’t picture any boy net j
thinking his mother was the!
sweetest mother in the world,:
and I told him I couldn’t either, I
if theirs had done as much for
them as mine had for me.
This is another rainy Sunday
and a long with such a day
comes that tiny bit of home
sickness, yet I wouldn’t come j
back until its all over for the
world.
The present war conditions
reminds me of a relay race, j
The aljies run the Huns so far j
each day they have to let them
go ahead at night in order to
give our boys time to eat and
sleep. But the time is near
when the Huns won’t have
anywhere to run. That’s the
finish, and then that old slogan
comes true, “Berlin or Bust.”
Today all France is rejoicing
over the succes of the A dies
and anyone who could only
hear the praises of America
by these people would think as
I do.
Now, mother dear, don’t
worry about me, for I am dan
dy and will soon be coming
back to you a better boy and
more able to be a pleasure and
lepay you for all the worries I
i ever caused ycu. Love to Maud
and the kids, oceans for your
iself', each wave a kiss and each
' drop of sa’t water a hng.
Forever your devoted boy,
KIRK.

WOULD LIKE TO HEAR
FROM FRIENDS HERE
Rev. J. A. Harp of Rector Asks
To be Remembered By
His Friends
Editor The Journal.—I have
a large number cf acquaintanc
es around Newark whom I am
glad to count as my friends. I
have felt like I would like to
write everyone of them per
sonally; but time would forbid
me doing that, and as many,
perhaps most of them are
readers of The Jouranl, 1 am
presuming on your personal
friendship by asking you to let
me have a little space in your
valuable paper to write them
all at one time.
I assure you when you get to
be a traveling minister and
move away from your friends,
1 will take pleasure in extend
ing to you a like courtesy
(should 1 be editor.)
After leaving your town for
Dcnie, Texas, last July, we had
several disappointments before
we reached our destination.
However, some very pleasant
surprises also. At Newport we
met Mr. (dent Mayo and fam
ily whom we had the pleasure
cf knowing and preaching to
in other days, while pastor on
Magness circuit.
Rev. Mr. McMillan met us
at the staiion at Donie, Tex.,
and soon we found ourselves in
comfortable quarters in his
hospitable home. After two
Jays of needed rest, we began
the revival on Saturday night,
continuing ten days. This was
our first meeting in the Lone
Star State*. The meeting was
good from start to finish and
was said by many to be the*
best in the history of the town,
resulting in many conversions
and accessions to the church.
The people showed their ap
preciation in a material way
by paying $158 for service and
said to come again next year.
1 often think of friends in
Independence county, and
hope to meet all at them tace
to face seme day again.
Well the “Flu” has been
raging these parts and it seems
to have no respect for person
age. Ye friend is just recov
ering from a round.
Mr. Editor, please indulge
me a little longer and let me
tell you of our happy surprise
which came to us night before
last about 2 o’clock. We were
awakened by a knock at the
door. I inquired who comes
there? The answer came ‘‘A
friend’, ft proved to be our
son home from serving Uncle
Sam, with an honorable dis
charge.
May I ask an answer to this
letter from friends? 1 will
wait and see who will write
me.
Yours very truly,
J. A. HARP.
Rector, Arkansas.

PAROQUET BOY WRITES
LETTER FROM FRANCE
Thinks France a Fine Country
But is Anxious to Return
to America
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Rousel
have received the following let
ter from Elmer Showns, who is
| with the American Army in
France.
France, Sept. 29, 1918
Dear Friends.—This beauti- j
ful Sunday afternoon I will
write you a short message from
I France and tell you something
of my long journey.
The distance from Camp
Beauregard the way we went,
to Camp Stuart, is about 1300
miles, and it took us about j
three days and nights to make |
the trip. We stayed in Camp
Stuart three days, after which |
we sailed for France. We j
were on the water several days j
anil it war very rough for a
few days. Many of the boys I
got awfully sea sick, but we
landed safely without the loss
of one. Of course, we were all
glad to get. on land again.
Since landing in France we
have traveled several hundred
miles and have seen some pret
ty country and many large citi
es. 1 have seen nearly all kinds
of people and they all have
different ideas about things.
The people here have good
crops and the buildings are all
good—mostly brick and stone.
They have good pike roads and
steel or stone bridges across all
streams.
The people over here treat
jur boys awfully nice and are
doing all 'hey can to help win
the war. We are getting plen
ty to eat and have good wool
en clothing to wear. Our home
officers are with us and they
take a great deal of interest
in our welfare. We have learn
ed some great lessons anti en
joyed ourselves too while on
our long journey. And now,
that we are in France, I fully

fear adversity

Poverty in old age slowly but surely ap
proaches every man who spends all he earns and
drifts into merciless debt.

poverty. You only need to open a bank account;
accumulating money will then be easy. Try it!

NEWARK, ARKANSAS
realize what I am over here
for, and know that we must
work for the best end and do
our duty, and then prepare to
return home to the dear old
U. S. A.
But again, we realize that
some of us will never return
home to walk the shady coun
try lanes, or the streets of our
home towns, nor look into the
face of our loved ones.
But for the sake of our lov
ed ones at home we must answ
er duty’s call let the result be
what it may. But if all reports
are true, we boys will be home
in time to help make a crop in
1919. All the news we get
fr. m the front sounds mighty
good.
You don’t know how much
I would love to be back at old
Paroquet for prayer meeting
and singing tonight. There is
not a day passes but what I
think of you all, and I often
wonder how our Sunday School

at home I certainly did enjoy
myself and 1 love to think ot
