Jeff Hunt went to Pauls Valley Tuesday and joined the contingent which left there for Camp Pike, Ark. This makes four sons of Mr. And Mrs. T. J. Hunt now in the service of their country, viz: Ed, Claude, Price and Jeff. To our knowledge this is the greatest contribution of any family in this vicinity. Several families have furnished three sons, among the number being Postmaster Parker and Mail Carrier Wise. In a card to his parents, Price Hunt, who went to Camp Cody in June, writes that he is now at Camp Dix, New Jersey; that they were five days on the road; that they like the place fine. He says he and Vernal Crawford still are together.
