LIEUTENANT EDWARDS WINS PROMOTION

   The many friends throughout Taliaferro county of Lieutenant Garnett Edwards 
will be pleased to learn that he has been promoted to First Lieutenant. This 
information was contained in a letter received in Crawfordville this week from 
Lieutenant Edwards himself.

   Lieutenant Edwards one of the best known and most highly esteemed young men 
in the county, having been born and reared in the Sandy Cross section and for 
several years before entering the army was connected with several of 
Crawfordville's leading business houses.

   He entered the second officers' training school at Fort Oglethorpe last 
fall, and on graduation was commissioned a second lieutenant. He was sent 
overseas early last spring, and was in some of the hardest fighting in which 
the American army engaged, during which he was slightly wounded.
