Fayette Enterprise PAYETTE, PAYETTE COUNTY, IDAHO THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1919 ONE DOLLAR AND ONE-HALF A YEAR No. 4, VOL, XV / J J Thomas B. Clark, a volunteer from Ccuncil, and a brother of Mrs. N. C. Irwin of Payette, who has seen seven months service with the marines, ar rived in Payette last Saturday and was met here by his mother, Mrs. Jen nie Clark, of Council. Mr. Clark is a bright young man, 23 years of age, and from his own story has seen some (.f the worst of the fighting. He says j.e has gone into battle with his com pany of 185 men and returned with but eight men fit for service. His service has been mostly with the shock troops and he certainly has some very thrilling stories to tell. On July 19, 1018, at the battle of Vierzy, he wa,s wounded twice, while advancing, both of which was in the legs, and while in the trenches was almost completely •covered with dirt which was thrown in from the explosion of shells. He was covered to such an extent and wounded in both legs it was impossible to release himself. As his comrades advanced cne young man tried to pull him out but could not and went on with the advance. Later another | wounded boy who was barely able to crawl, made his way to the trench for safety and fell in the shell wrecked trench beside young Clark, and, while unable to stand, could use his hands and by vigorous efforts released him t from his buried condition. Mr. Clark, while wounded in both legs, was able to walk and got his comrade to his (AS and one arm around his neck and tv/! assisted him back to first aid st ticA, a distance of a mile and a half. Mr. Clark has one brigade decoration with 13 citations for bravery, and one badge for individual braven - . He is • is home on a 30 day furlough and re turned to Council with his mother th : s morning and will return to his com pany at Quantico, Virginia, Feb. 23. < Sarai: Liizabcth Killîngsworth was born in .Alabama, November 25, 1343, ar,u cne.. a{. her hone near Fay: .: MRS.

Beppard, Germany, Dec. 12, ISIS.■ J My Very Dear Teacher: Your very nice letter received and wd ] ge t an ansW er off this morning ! while we are wa jting to get orders to : ' move. Yes, indeed, the good news of finish of the war was certainly re-: ce j ve d in good old American style and the nth hour> llth day> llth month ; of 191 g ig one date the world will not f or g et f or 60me time I will vouch to |say. The sky was one grand flare and eac h one was doing his bit then if he (din>t do it before Flareg were going | U p j n one con tinual stream and it was 1 like day all night of the llth. We are certainly getting an exper ience that we could not get in a good many years of traveling. At present we are on the Rhine and I was, by the way, disappointed as I expected to see something rather larger tkan what I saw. But I guess that a soldier would n't be satisfied if he had the world and a promise of Heaven, which trans lated means "discharge." The castles are very pretty and the roadg are something wonderful with the winding around the hills—once in a while they unwind but not often I wish I knew the history of all the thjngs that j have ge€n ^y would be vwy much more interesting. But L hâve ^ them ig something, and 1 wouldn't take a whole lot for my ex perience of the past year, The people are very much different than we expected ar.d we like them so much better than the French that we have almost come to the conclusion that exclusive of the military element of these people, we were fighting our own kind. True, they should be held strictly accountable for all the atro cities committed and I think they will, but I think as a whole, and I don't think it an indiscretion to remark as a concensus of opinion. Just then the lieutenant came in and told us to pack up, as we were going to move out, and we surely did, and now we are settled for at least two weeks we hear, but one can never tell about Dame Rumor you know. We went from "Boppard to Cobleniz .where we remained over night and now we are in Montabour. We are in a conservatory and I am right at home, thanks, with three pipe organs, one grand and two uprights, to play on, I don't know what they did with the rest of their pianos but 1 think it will take me some time to wear out the ones I have now. This is certainly the prettiest coun try that I have seen since I left Idaho, but outside these castles and super -rads they have nothing on us for -encry I think. Tomorrow is the day the Dutchmen are to vote at their primaries or some thing like that, and they make quite a bit over it and I guess they have a right to if anyone has. Must call this off and roll in. as one can't bum the midnight oil as they will in this man's country. Yours very truly, ANDREW BRAOT ice s were held at Boise at Fry & Sum mers undertaking parlor, conducted by H. J.

They ex pect to increase their business this yr»T over any previous year, and are starting in early in order to prepare for the demand that is sure to come. Ihe growers have come to realize that the material put out by this concern will do the work and it is only a ques tion of getting enough material to sup ply the demand. There is one thing the grower should remembzer, that the liberal use of spray material of any kind and a' he proper time is the only method of raising clean fruit, and with the pres j —t prospect of a bumper crop grod prices for this year the grower =hru ! d by all means give his orchar ■ ! iu e best of attention.
