TELLS OF DEATH
OF JIMMY GEIGAS
El-win Simerly of McKinney, fill em-
ploye in Mitchell's drug store, has re-
ceived a letter from his brother, Geo
Simerly, who is now hi France. In
writing home George tells very brief-
ly of the death of Jimmy Gcigtts, who
was the first McKlnnev ho> reported
killed in France. 11 • said that Jimmy
had been over (lie lop and made it
safely but after the fight he went for
a drill It of water and was struck by a
shell, which caused Ills death. In pari
the letter reads as follows:
"Well, old panl, l have been over
the top twice and got back snl'e and
sound. II Is a long way buck home, but
I often think of the dear old Stab
and the folks at home. I never net to
talk to anybody but soldiers. You
stay at home and help the folks us
long as you enn and lie a good boy.
You are having a good time if you
only knew it. 1 haven't seen a girl
from the P. S. A. Iti so long I wouldn't
know how to talk to one. Tell every
body hello and tell them to write to
me more often, t hope to be back
home, sweet home, some day. Kay,
Edwin. Jimmy 'leigas got killed. He
had been over tlio top and had come
back all right and wt nt after some
water and got hit with a shell. Well,
it certainly is an experience to go over
the top, for you don't have any Idea
what it is. It. Is pretty bad. Be good
boys till we meet again. Best luck to
all."
George Is n non of Mr. it ml Mrs. J.
F. Simerly of McKinney and has been
in the service since A.prll. He has In en
in France about four months. It may
be seen by the tone of his letter that
the boys over there are always anx-
ious and hungry for letters from their
loved ones and friends at home.
