LETTER FROM GROVER CARNES.
Following is a letter from Grover
Carnes to his parents at DeWitt. He
is a brother of Mrs. Ed Rucks, of
Newport, and was stationed at Camp
Greene, Charlotte, N. C.
Dear Mother and Father:
Yesterday the calm of a perfect
afternoon was broken by the keen
notes of officers call. It attracted
attention by the unusualness of the
hour. As the enveloping atmosphere
was pierced, all hearts were set
ashore, From every direction the
quickening steps of officers led to
ward headquarters. Multiplied sug
gestions passed between the men of
rank. Our conflab was short. As
quickly the officers returned to their
respective charges, they unbarred to
us a doorway which'lead to a truth I
must also tell to you. We were sent
to our tents for a hurry-up “show
down” inspection, followed by a j
rolled pack.
Sharply at 4 a. m. today the first i
notes of Reveille greeted our ear. |
Not a soul asked for a longer stay in j
slumber land. We were off for that
1am nr_1aa ai* lon/4 TKo -f noolinnoc?
of the hour addtd vigor to our prep- j
aration. At 9 o’clock, with full equip
ment and the “slum wagon” we were
entrained. Now our unit is rolling
across the cotton fields of Dixie, lead
ing to France.
To quote the words of Baker: “The
unit of keenest cut soldiers in the
United States army”—3rd Regiment
M.M. of which I am a member, is
starting on a long, long journey, and
a spirit of solid confidence hovers
ovtr us as we are glad to leave loved
ones and native country behind. Not
that we are starting on a glorious va
cation, for only inconvenience and se
clusion is before us. We are facing
rivers of blood surrounded by hills
which belch forth volleys of personi
fied hell. Pain and misery is to be
our lot. But why shirk the duty that
calls and the inevitable outcome
which leads but to the furtherment
of civilization.
As I enter tfrose terrible fields,
mother, in vision, I am sure that you
will walk shoulder to shoulder with
me. I enter this conflict with a buoy
ant heart and think only of the aching
of your enfeebled soul. You and fa
ther have spent an illustrious past for
me and your reward is certain. Keep
your mind free from my inconveni
ence and hardship and you will be
materially aiding me to carry my
part well. I do not want to think of
you as pining away an old life while
I am answering a nation’s call. Of
course it is a long, long trail which

leads back to you and home, but some
day I will be winding it homeward.
We will bring back with us Old
Glory, the same undaunted flag of
which America now boasts. And then
mother, you will be glad that I took
my stand for you, my flag and my
country. I would like to tell you
many things which the solemnity of
my oath now permits not. I’ll keep
them for the homecoming. Though
my stay may be long and the hours
go slowly by, these are my parting
words:
“It may be forever,
If fortune isn’t fair,
It may be for only awhile
But you do your best,
And we’ll do the rest
Just send me away with a smile”
With a kiss and tenderest wishes,
close. Your Soldier Boy,
Grover.
