BERT HOPKINS WRITES OF JOURNEY TO SOUTHLAND

D. ~H. Yeoman has received the following Interesting letter' fyom his son-in-law, A. R. Hopkins, telling bf Mr. and Mra. Hopkins’ trip to Miami, Florida in brief detail: ♦ * Miami, Fla., Dec. 9, 1918. Dear Dad: —Here Is a little history of' our trip. Stayed all night at Dal’s; left there, about 9:30 and stopping at Vincennes the. first night. Thence to Evansville, where we were delayed half day, owing to high wind a ferry boat would not take us across the Ohio river until next morning at Henderson. To Hopkinsville, Ky.» that night, then through Nashville, Murfreesboro, to IShelbyville, Tenn, third night. From thence to Winchester, where we got oft the road, and got the wrong road

over the mountains at Montague, Tracy City into Chattanooga at 8 p. m. Our trip down the mountain was the wildest ride I ever experienced. Road was so steep that I had to put the car in low speed and use both brakes to keep it under control. The road wound around, back and forth, dropping from one ledge of rock to another, with the mountain straight up on one side, and almost straight down on the other, ana when hialf way down night came on, and finished by aid of our headlights. I never realized how dangerous a trip I was making until it was all over. Then, after reaching the foot of the mountain, ferried' across a iriver, then a 26 mile ride after dark over high hills, and around hills, over a strange road in the dark to Chattanooga, arriving at 8 p. m. Left there next morning, -driving to Atlanta, from there through Macon, Georgia, to Oglethorpe, only 10 miles from the famous Andersonville prison. On down through Valdosta to Madison, Lake City, Cainsville, Florida, through Palatka? (Dr. Brown’s town) down the east coast through Daytona, Palm Beach to Miami, arriving here Saturday, December 7, at 6 p. m., after a trip, (speedometer registering) of 1,605 miles, without changing a tire of ptamping up a tire oh the entire trip and passing every car along the road headed our way. Passing dozens of big cars all along the route, stuck in the bad roads, hut our little Dodge pulled us through every piece of road we hit without getting stuck a single time. On our trip we- struck some good roads, but through Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Florida hit some ,of the worsst roads that we ever pulled over. Our worst Jasper county roads are good beside some we. went over. Georgia and northern Florida had just had ten days of steady rain,, which the people tell us had never been known before, making very bad roads.

Our first drive to Vincennes Ist day *...■.. 210 Vincennes to EWansville, 2nd day '■'90 t Evansville, Ind. to Hopkinsville, Ky., 3rd day 106 Hopkinsville to * Shelbyville, 4th day 143 Shelbyville to Chattanooga, Tenn., sth day 116 Chattanooga, Tenn, to Atlanta, Ga., 6th day 126 Atlanta to Oglethorpe, 7tih day 151 Oglethorpe, Ga. to Madison, Fla., &th day 163 Madison io Cainsville, 9th day 109 Gainsvillfl' to Cocoa, 10th day 185 Cocoa to Miami, 11th day. . 206 Total miles., traveled 1,605 The above was a wonderful trip, but would not advise,,, anyone to make the same .trip if Georgia and Florida had much rain, as rain makes the red clay of Georgia and the mud of Florida a very difficult trip to make. The famous Dixie Highway is only on paper, and will be for years to come, as it leads through hundreds of miles of country that to me seems absolutely worthless, and we have driven many, many miles without seeing a human being. And now, while you folks in Rensselaer are shivering around your fires, probably snow and ice on the ground, I am sitting at a desk writing this letter with the windows open and the soft southern breeze floating in, flowers blooming -in the yards, airplanes humming overhead (as there is an aviation camp here) and can hardly realize the change • from Rensselaer to Miami. We “are being entertained at the beautiful/ home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Taylor (Mrs. Taylor was formerly Miss Nellie Van Smith and lived in Rensselaer several years ago.) Their home is 'just about 100 yards flrom the bay, in a very beautiful part of the city. I only wish I could transport the entire city of Rensselaer to this place for the winter. Very truly, BERT HOPKINS.

All photographic work guaranteed at Parker’s Studio. Jay Dee Roth was mustered out of the Purdue training camp Saturday and returned home. Pop corn that’s guaranteed to pop, 15c per lb. Rowles 4k Parker. Stewart Learning went to iris home at Rondey Sunday to spend a few days with his parents. If you have beauty we take ft, if you haven’t we make it, at Parkers Studio. Margarette Norris returned to Greencastle Sunday to resume her studies at DePauw un * Just think, twelve remembered at Xmas by a dozen photos from Parker’s. Easy, isn’t ft?

JOHN FENZIL WRITES OF ARMY LIFE IN FRANCE

F. E. Babcock, editor of the Democrat, has received a very interesting letter from John Fenzfl, of Walker township, which we are privileged to present to our readers: - Somewhere in France. November 9, 1918. Mr. F. E. Babcock, Rensselaer, Ind. . j Dear Sir:—A# I have not received any of my papers I imagine there must be some mistake in the address, so am sending you my new address, hoping I receive the paper soon, as I would like to keep' in touch with doings back in Old Indiana. I have been traveling about a great deal lately and am now where there is quite a bit of excitement. I have seen a great deal of France by this time, and am now in ope of the richest farming localities. The people here are very industrious, and aside from their old ways of farming they use our modern farming implements; that is, our binder, mower, hay rake and minor tools. But they are not so efficient as us Americans. They have the old-time threshing machines, run by horses, and the large two-wheeled carts for wagons. ' ' . ?

On my trip through the country in the famous side-door Pullmans that we soldiers travel in, I saw many beautiful sights, I saw many of the old-fashioned Dutch windmills stilf in service, also saw many old Chateaus that were very famous in olden history. I have passed through some of the largest cities of France, but have not seen anything that comes any way near to our own. I am now billeted in a small. French village, living in a large stone barn. It is somewhat different than the ordinary army camp, but I like it fine. This is a beautiful place for scenery. One can go out for a walk to tne hills and see some of the nicest views of the surrounding valleys imaginable. There are some large hills here that had been the old battle grounds of Oaesar,' and’ here one can see the old stone trenches where they used to fight. There is a large hill here with a tunnel leading from the very top to a little village down in the valley, and the people would travel through this tunnel to the top of the hill where they had caves in the rock for defense. It is a very interesting piece of work, and it is quiite a treat to get to see it all. There, is also an old Chateau in vicinity that was buit in 1500. .Here are stored various trophies >f olden days, including the wardrobes and belongings of the rulers In olden times. This Chateau is enclosed by a high stone wall. There are seven springs flowing on the grounds with fish ponds and many pieces of ancient sculpture. It is a very beautiful place and valued highly by the French pe’ople, although the inhabitants have moved out. They have several aged men taking care of the property. The people here have very good roads and it is a pleasure to travel through the country even if it is in trucks. I have visited all the large towns here and am anxious to see more again, which I think will be but a matter of a few days. We are Very busy now, as you can see by what is going on over here, and expect to make a clean sweep before long. I have not been fortunate enough to meet many of the boys from Jasper county. I met Georgy Miack, formerly of Rensselaer. He Is attached to the 315th Am’n. Train and getting along fine. Guy Minor of Tefft is also in the-same company, and I see them quite often. Everybody Is feeling fine, in spite of all the hardships. We have plenty of clothing and do not mind the disagreeable fall weather. It rains here neany every day, and the mud is plentiful. We are getting mail quite regular now and we feel more at home than ever, although we have not foreaken the U. S. A. News is rather scarce over here, so I will close, hoping to receive some of the home papers With best regards, I remain, WAG. JOHN FENZEL, 315 Trench Mortar Battery, American Expd. Forces, France. (The address we have been sending papers is same as above.— Editor.)

Junior Benjamin is expected, home today from Newport News, having been mustered out of the service. Prices cheapest for good work at Parker’s Studio* We use no substitutes.

Bill Wasson was up from Lafay ette over Sunday and returned there today. He expects to be discharged Thurday. ______ A suggestion for Xmas —a photo made by Parker. The latest swinging frames at Parker’s Studio. Great for Xmas presents. _______ r,r».Ti+. Wvnegar was discharged from Camp Taylor and returned to. his family here Sunday. He was one of the volunteers that left here July 23. - Louis Robinson arrived here today from Chicago, where he had been sick with influenza for more than a week. Now, then, don’t waft too long for that Xmas photo. Parker’s Studio., William Townsend of Sanford, Me., seventy years <fld, says he can skina muskrat in lA seconds and hmi skinned eight foxes m forty manures.

—"'g —~ T" Mrs. Robert Smith returned home Sunday from a month’s visit with her parents at Bockfield. She was in poor Cloudy weather no draw-back tat Parker’s Studio. ' '!■" ' Try Schlosser Bros, with your next batch of cream. They pay the top of the market. They buy eggs also. You will find them on North Van Rensselaer street, a half block north of Washington street. Occident Flour is by far the cheapest in the long run, as you get much more and much better bread than from other flours. Sold and guaranteed by Rowles & Parker. Private W: H. Thompson has been mustered out of the army and is here with his mother, Mrs. J. J. O’Brien. Private Thompson left Ripon, Wis., May 1. He was a member of the infantry at Camp Wadsworth, S. C., and was discharged from that camp. There is no economy- in buying cheap flours, because you get more and better bread by wring Occident Flour. Guaranteed to be the best flour you ever-used or your money back., Rowles & Parker. The son of a French banker in Petrograd, allowed by the Bolsheviki to take only 1,000 francs with him back to France, collected as many rare stamps as 'he could in a few days by exchanging his valuables, and Deft Russia with 1,000 francs in money and a stamp album that he has since sold in Paris for 80,000 francs, or about $16,000.

You can make that relative or friend of your’s happy one hundred and four times if you will make him a Christmas gift of The Rensselaer Republican. Or better still, send theEvening Republican and send joy into his life over three hundred times during the coming year. ' A Washington man proposes that as the United States was in the iwar 584 days, a Liberty monument to the members of our heroes be erected at the capital, one foot in height for each day, making it 584 feet high, with the names of all who gave their lives engraved on bronze tablets, to be placed in tfte interior of the monument. . • ' Best test, highest price paid for cream. We buy eggs at the top of the market also. SCHLOSSER BROS. First door south Worland furniture store. A Rensselaer ambulance brought Mrs. J. M.
