mendations as to his service for Un
cle Sam in the way of stars and
stripes. He was one of General Per
shing’s first one hundred and fifty
volunteers and carries his wound

The young man’s mother, Mrs. Lee
Carter, has moved to Augusta since
he left here and Mr. Heath has been
to that city to see her, but says he
feels more at home in Jackson county.
While here he went to see Mr. and
Mrs. George Foushee to ask about
their son, Claude Foushee, whom his
parents have not heard from in sev
eral months. Mr. Heath says that
he saw Claude on July the third when
he was on his way to the front, but
had not heard from the young patriot
since.
