Thomas W. \liirra>', of- Freeport, is not SII sorry now that he faile<l to: :;ain Ihc noiiilnalion for constable in. the town primaries last spring. Why'.'i Well, Tom vvas nolilied on .Monday i that Stale Coiumissioner of lOxcise Herbeil .N. (iisson lias appoinied him -. as a State detectivt; for the Kxcise De- . partment with a salary of Sl.^Oo a: year to start on, and all expenses paid. Tom has had plenty of experi¬ ence that qualifies him for the post- linn. He was constable of the town j for .s'everal years, worked on many I iiuportant cases for the District Af- I lorney's office and for individualr;"lirVd lias conducted a detective agency at Kreeport for a number of years.
Tom has been acting as one of the euards at the Court Hfuise since the luiled islates entered into the war j ai;ainst tJermany, and during tbe past w(>el< has been receiving the congratu- . Iat ions of bis many friends who visit the coiiiily seal.
AaORS CHRISTMAS IS CELEBRATED
following ex'iiiets from III w I le pl nied in Ul li.sL .Vl,i...a/.iiie l(jr Apin. vvhmn was re¬ ceived ny tbe Kev. William IJreiken- ridge, pastor of the Baptist Church, Freeport, who knows .Major Chaiteris liersonally.
American soldiers are now in France, and the letter is published because we believe that any piece of news from the "Firing Line" will be acceptable to our readers. OCR CHAFl^INS AT THU FHO.NT lOxtracts from a letter received from .Major \V. C. Charteris:
The duties of the padrt' (pastor) ar(> manifold, and his methods vary,: but his one business is to preach tbe ^ Gospel which tells of the wonderful i Jesus who saves his people from theiri sins. He never lacks a welcome for' this message. Where else can thej .soldier find strength for his hazard- | Otis calling or comfort in suffering and death.

And as we trudged along in the clinging mud, we were helped by the mt-inory of yester-night.
On the way an officer slopped me and asked if I could give his men a service next day. I readily consented, because my own brigade was in the Iri'nches. He gave ns a splendid con¬ gregation, SOU to IHIU men being pres¬ ent. The oflicer told me that it was the first service his unit had since .May. This justifies the recent ap¬ pointment of corps chaplains, (o min¬ ister to such units.
