Meet After 26 Years
        Mr. M. C. Ainsworth and wife of Chankee, Ark., visited his sister,
Mrs. M. A. Barnett of Winnfield, Friday of last week after a separation of 26
years.
        Mr. Ainsworth is in military service, having served in World War
One, and having fought in a number of battles.  He says that he had rather be
in the United States Army than any other place. When the Armistice was
signed he re-enlisted in the Army and since then has helped to train
thousands of youths.  He will be retired in another year.
        Mr. Ainsworth and Mrs. M. A. Barnett were born in Smith County,
Miss. Mrs. Barnett is the mother of Mrs. Lessie Long of Winnfield.
        Mr. Ainsworth has traveled quite a bit and has many interesting
things to talk about.  He says the price will be great to pay, but that the
United States will get the Japs sooner or later.
