The death of A. L. Morgan,
who resided a few mles south of
Gilmer on the Jefferson High-
way, Friday night, after a brief
illness of 24 hours with pneumo-
nia, superinduced by a case of in-
fluenza, was learned with deep
regret by his numerous friends
throughout t he couney.
Mr. Morgan was a prominent
farmer and leaves a family be-
sides a host of friends and rel-

'untimely demise.

he was not only a soldier fighting
for democracy, whose home-com-
ing when the conflict was over,
was looked forward to with gol-
den fancies kindling with parent-
alpride, but a son. for whom
"The muffled drum’s sad roll has
beat
The soldier’s last tattoo.”
And in a grave in a foreign land
lies this brave Upshur County
boy, and only his memory is
borne to his Spartan parents’
breast, as on a bloody shield, and
while the sunshine of their na-
tive sky shines sadly on them
here, kindred eyes and hearts
watch by the heroeic sepulchre.
Rest on brave boy. your glo-
ry shall ne’er be forgot while
fame her records keep, or honor
points out the hallowed spots
where our valorous boys proudly
sleep.

My Dear Sir:—
Your son, Corp. Gordon R.
Moon, the driver of a Cadilac car,
took me from Paris to British
headquarters in northern France
about the 20th of Sept. We spent
the next night there, at Maj.
Robert Bacon’s house, a chateau
uxt to Marshal Ila.g’s head
quarters. Next morning we mo-
. rcd down to Boulogne, where
I took the steamer for England
This is to say that your son is
one of the most expert drivers
I have ever known. He has driv-
eru a Cadilac car 80,000 miles
since he reached France, about
ten months ago. He is exceeding-
ly bright and efficient, and in
