MISSING IN ACTION

Arvie Wilson, Son of Tip Wilson Reported Missing Since August 12th

Tip Wilson, of this place, received a telegram Friday of last week stating that his son, Arvie, was missing in action since September 12th.

The young man was twenty-three years of age. He enlisted in the service March 29th and was sent to Camp Taylor. He went across last June and when last heard from was serving in the infantry.

The fact that he is among the missing, leaves hope that he is still among the living and that word to that effect will be received soon.
