Former Remington Boy Writes From Overseas. Mr. and Mrs. George Moorhead of Jennings county, former residents of near Remington for several years, send The Democrat for publication a letter received from thdlr son, John Moorhead, who is with the A. E. F. in France,: Lussac Gironde, France, Feb. 16. Dear Mother—l have not heard from anyone for several weeks, but hope everyone is as well as I am. 1 have not been doing any writing for some time for it has been pretty cold and we have had no (place to go to write and our billets have been on a fuel saving campaign. We are still waiting here at Lussac. Today makes three weeks, for us. The talk goes now that we are going to start for Bordeaux in a few days so that we have some chance of going home in the next few weeks, but of course there is nothing certain about it. They are going to let a number of A. E. F. men attend English and French universities for four months. I put my name in but don’t know how much chance there is of being called for it. * I would certainly like to get the opportunity. There has not been much here to do. We get our turn at guard once in awhile and also at kitchen police. About once a week our section’s ttlrn comes to clean up the streets. We get out a few hours each day and drill or hike and have quite a bit of time to hunt some kind of amusements.

The Y. M. C. A. comes out and gives us movies or sends entertainers once or twice a week. There is also a Y. M. C. A. in a town about two miles away, which we visit once in awhile. They gave us a fine entertainment last Sunday, consisting of violin and piano and readings. We also have Protestant services occasionally by chaplains, so we are not quite lost.

Last Monday I went to St. Emilion, a place near Libourne, which’ has had an interesting history. It was founded by Emilion about the year 600. A number of convents grew up around it. Emilion was afterwards canonized by the church, St. Emilion dug out a hermitage from the solid rock. In doing it he struck a spring, which has become revered by time. The y’oung couples come and drop pins in the pool of the spring. If they, the pins, cross themselves the couple marries soon; if not they wait a certain length of time. The bottom of the pool was pretty well covered with pins. There is a church dug out of the solid rock and a number of old ruins of cloisters and so on. The town has been the scene of fighting between English and French and also between Catholics and Huguenots. T.ie whole town is honey-combed with underground caverns. The story is told that Napoleon hid some troops In there, but I am not sure of its truth. They showed us one cavern in Which seven men, partisans in the
