Wainwright Ridgeway Tells of
Some of His Experiences in
the Hottest of the Fight
On Active Service with the
American Ex. Force,
Sept. 1, 1918.
Mr. Clayton Taylor,
McCrory, Arkansas,
Dear Friend:—
I will drop you a few lines
to let you hear from me. Well
how are you getting along
these days, just fine I hope.
I am just getting along fine,
I have just spent about two
months on the front since I
have been in irane ana it is
hell, at times, believe me, and
at other times it is all O. K.,
that is while we are not fight
ing, but we are in battle the
most of the time, so I suppose
you can guess about how it is.
Well, I have been face-to
face with several of the Ger
mans when on the front and
I was just a little quicker than
they and they were also out of
luck, but I may be the one to
be out of luck the next time,
but I do not think so if they
will give me an even start.
I have killed four since I have
been here that I know of for I
saw them fall. There were
some whom I did not have time
to watch as I had to watch my
self for a while—it pays a man j
to watch himself sometimes, !
don’t you think so.
The hottest place I have ever
been in was on the 14th night
of July when a friend and my
self ran into a bunch of al^out
25 of the enemy. They kftled
mv nartner. took mv earn and i
ammunition and started back
with me as a prisoner. It was
dark and the German who
was guarding me was killed by
a big shell and I got away
from them and crawled across
no man’s land and got back
with my bunch. You can guess
about how badly I felt for I
had more than' one kind of
feelings, believe me.
Well, how are all of the
ladies these days, just fine I
hope. Tell all of them I said
hello and for them to write to
nie—tell everybody to write
for I have not received a letter
since I have been in France.
Tell me all the news and tell
the folks I said hello and for
them to write. Will close for
this time, answer real soon to
Your Old Friend,
PVT. P. W. RIDGEWAY, j

CHOPS FOR CHICKENS

necessary to digest whole
grains.

and I will grind your corn any
day you come to mill. See my
home ground chops and meal

RAYMOND PARTEE DEAD
McCrory lost one of her old
est and best liked negro citi
zens Thursday, Sept. 26, f918,
when Raymond Partee died
at his home on Mr. T. A. Jef
fries farm just south of town.
Raymond, who was born in
Bells, Tenn., about 54 years
ago, came to this place at the
age of 21 and has been living
on the Jeffries farms since that
time. He was a faithful and
honest negro, a life-long Demo
crat, always voting the Demo
cratic ticket, and was loyal to
his country. He had already
paid out of debt from his crop
this year and boasted of the
liberty bond which he had
bought and paid for. McCrory
will miss this good old negro
who was respected by both
white and colored.
