Official Paper of Dakota County
Soldiers' Letter
From John Patrick Clark.
Camp Funston, Kans., Sept. 25, '17
Miss M. M. Maxwell,
Dakota City, Neb.
Dear Miss Maxwell: The comfort
kits for Edgar Harris and myself
were received some time ago, and I
am ashamed of myself for not thank
ing you sooner, but have been awful
busy lately.
Everything is progressing nicely
around camp. The second bunch of
boys from Dakota county landed
safely, and are in my company.
Most of the first men here are now
serving as non commissioned officers.
I have been appointed acting ser
geant. It is my duty to see that an
allowance of .39011 per man a day,
furnishes him with plenty of good,
wholsome food, and it takes just a
little bit of figuring. However, as
a whole, we are furnished with plen
ty of good food. Again thanking
vou, and all the ladies of the Red
Cross organization for the comforts
they have provided us with,
I am a sincere friend,
Jack Clark.
I S. I forgot to mention that
Edgar wishes to extend his thanks
also.
From Henry Dewain Loomis to
Mrs. John II. Roam.
Camp Funston, Kans., Sept. 25, '17.
Dear Cousin: I thought I would
write and let you know I got here
all right. I feel fine and dandy, and
sure like it here. I like it better
every dny. It is a very pretty place
and is sure a big camp.
We arrived hero Thursday morn
ing at 8:150 o'clock. We ate dinner
at Omaha and supper at Lincoln at
9:20 Wednesday night. There were
a lot of people on the platforms at
every station to greet the train, and
the bands at Lyons and Hlair were
t playing when wo passed through
' those places.
Well I must close for this time,
asking you to write soon.
From your cousin,
Henry Dewain Loomis, .
355th Inft., C. I.
From Michael Jones, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Patrick Jones, of Hubbard.
Camp Funston, Kans., Sept, 20 '17.
Dear Mr. Ream: I arrived hero
Thursday mornirg and have been en
joying soldier life since. Wo have
eight hours drill every day.
I am endeavoring to enter the
quartermaster's department, but I
am afraid there are too many boys
who have had their applications con
sidered previous to mine.
I want to thank the Dakota City
Red Cross, and also my Hubbard
friends, for their gifts and good
wishes. All this goes to show that
thoir-hearts are in the right place
and ther sympathy with the Holdier
boys.
Sincerely yours,
Michael Jones.
From Charles .lesson to his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John Jessen, of Hub
bard, Neb.
Charlotte, N. C, Sept. 22, 1917.
Dear lolks at home: Your most
welcome letter arrived yesterday.
Am fine and dandy, and like it fine
down here. The people of Charlotte
have moro respect for a soldior than
they have in Cheyenne. Wo have a
fine camp here, with electric lights,
bath and u big new hall and read
ing room a mile from the city. On
Sundays they come out and get us
and take ua back home if wo care to
go to church. There will be about
50,000 troops heie when thev all get
here.
Wo havn't done much but drill
since we came here. We got the
Htumps out and the ground in shape,
men tncy moved us.
The Wyoming infantry is no more.
A bunch of army officers came hero
last week and they decided that tho
Wyoming bunch looked good, and
we. were at once transferred to the
artillery. I'm sure glad, for it's just
where I belong. No moro long
hikes, and no trench digging, but
it's harder work. 1 guess, If it is
light' artillery it's bigger pay. I
can'ttell you a thing about tho
drill as we havn't had any yet; but
I won't be put on a horse, as I am
too heavy. I expect they will put
me on the box behind.
Tho cotton fields aro in bloom
now, and they are a protty sight.
There aro sure lots of "coons" here,
and they are scared to death
of tho Boldiors. It's fun to halt
them when on guard and sio them
jump. The only part of the gun
they watch is tho bayonet. I halted
one the other night and he let out a
yelp that you could have heard a
mile.
Well I must close for it is time
for retreat. Am sending some in
fantry pictures, and next time will
send some of tho artillery. Am go
ing to have a good picture taken
when wo get new clothes. He sure
and write soon. Love to all.
Charles Josspn.

REV. C. 11. LOW K.
The second year of our pastorate
has closed with all bills paid and be
nnvelence paid in access, this is to
be said of both churches. It is a
good record from a statistical stand
point. Our churches are to
gratulated because of this.
we do not have as many accessions
to report as last year it shows a
working and prosperous condition.
This is not only a joy to the pastor,
but it is also a joy to the congrega
tions. The church that is a benevo
lent church is the one that is in line
for the blessings of God. A church
that exists for itself alone cannot
and does not thrive.
