“We Shuah Do Like Youall,” Southern Girls Tell Soldiers.

The esteeri in which the northern boys wearily? the uniform of their Uncle Samuel is shown by samples of letters which have been received here from members of what used to be Company M, written to them by girls from southern states, through which they passed while enroute to Hattiesburg, Miss. A favorite diversion of the soldier boys during their long ride to the southern cantonment was to write their name and address on a piece of paper, which they threw out of the car window as they passed through a town. The small pieces of paper were gathered up eagerly by the southern dames and invariably a letter followed. Samples of letters received by local boys are shown below: Bethel Springs, Tenn., Sept. 30, 1917. Dear Friend Boy: Your name was glade receve with a glade welcome with me you know I was glade inde to git to write to the soldier boy you all dide sure look good to us girls at Bethel Springs we all dide want to talke to you.

BREAKS LEG AS LOCALS LOSE

RALPH DUNLAP MEETS WITH ACCIDENT »AS LOCALS LOSE 13 TO 7. =

Ralph Dunlap, for the past three years the speedv wing man on the Rensselaer high school football eleven, met with an accident at Kirklin Saturday that will keep him out of the game for the remainder of the season and in the hospital for several weeks. Dunlap had his right -leg broken just above the ankle, following the kickoff of the Saturday clash, in which Rensselaer met with defeat by a score of 13 to 7. The gam? opened with Kirklin receiving the kick. Dunlap with the remainder of the-local eleven swooped down the field to stop the runner. Dunlap’s speed carried him into the enemy’s territory first. A Kirklin husky shouldered him, his cleats held fast in the turf as he fell, and the bone of the leg snapped in two. Dunlap was immediately rushed to the city, where the leg was set. He returned to Rensselaer with the rest of the squad and was placed in the hospital here. The break was a clean one and it is expected that the broken member will not incapacitate him as long as is generally the rule in an injury of this kind. The loss of Dunlap was a severe jolt to the locals’ hopes and his absence from the game will handicap Captain- Gourley’s men in the coming battles. As for the game itself, Rensselaer wa3 defeated l 3 to 7. They did not play with the dash and vim that characterizes their work when Dunlap is in the game. The accident happening right at the .outset took considerable steam out of - the attack of the Red and Black and they lacked the punch. The Kirklin lineup was filled with tall, rangy farmer boys, who outweighed the locals. The downstate crew was the possessor of an aerial attack that Rensselaer found difficulty in stopping apd the majority of the gains of the enemy were made by the forward pass route. The first half ended, without either team scoring. The Rensselaer boys did wonderfully well. . The work of Halleck, who was shifted from guard to the place held by Dunlap, featured and the gains around his end of the line were very few and short. Kirklin scored twice in the second quarter. After working the ball down to within striking distance of the Rensselaer goal, they executed a forward pass and placed the oval over. The Clinton county eleven scored again a short time later. With the ball in Rensselaer’s possession, McColly called Gourley back from his position at tackle to carry the ball. Moore, at center, missed the signal and there was no one waiting 'to take the flying pigskin.; The ball rolled twenty feet back in Rensselaer territory before being recovered - by Gourley. Kirklin took the ball on downs and line smashed it across. The locals made their touchdown in the final quarter by punching away at the Kirklin line. Pullins, with a foot to go, smashed through for the first Rensselaer touchdown $f the season. -The goal was booted. Scoring then ceased for the day. Morocco will be here next Saturday and this game promises to be the toughest of the season. The Moroccoans have a victory to their cred.it over Kentland, the team which held Rensselaer to a draw.

Camp Shelby Notes.

Camp Shelby, Oct. 3, 1917. We arrived here Sunday morning about five- hours ahead of schedule time. Camp Shelby is about twenty miles from Hattiesburg. There was absolutely nothing'here but pine trees and clay when we arrived, but things look somewhat different now. Cook shacks and mess halls have been built and trees are being removed, and good roads are under construction. It looks like it will be a permanent camp. All of Kentucky and part of the West Virginia troops are here, and all of Indiana excepting the Second regiment. Immediately after arriving here the schism started. We were transferred into-what-is known as the Depot Brigade, the official address of which is 12th Co., Tr. Bn., 151st Inf., 63d Depot Brigade, Camp Shelby, Miss. The real purpose of such company is to drill new soldiers for the 151st infantry, but before we werfe transferred there were forty of Co. M put into Battery C. That is made up of the old Co. C, National Guard, and others, so you see Co. M is split up. Some of the home boys will stay together but not many of them. • Every company is building streets and parade grounds. ■ We have not started on any regular drill schedule yet, out will probably start next week. It is warm here in the day time, but gets considerably cooler at night. We need lots of cover. —We are*located about three m lies from the railroad. Someone has named this “Lonely Ridge.” I be- ; lieye it is a> good name, for often times you must use your imagination to think you are still in the U. S. We are in the heart of a pine wood country. The boys are learning to say, “Where youall going,” and other southern expressions.

I WEATHER Fair and colder tonight with 'killing frost; Tuesday fair and warmer.
