He is sur vived by his mother and one sister and one brother. Mr. A. V. Kent died at his home in the northern part of the county last Saturday and the funeral exer cises were held at .Whitewater Sun day. Mr. Kent was well known in the county and his death was a shock to his friends. A Delco electric light plant is be ing installed in the block south of the public square. This is probably the best light to be had* outside that gen erated from a regular electric power system. We wish that the entire town had lights. A light system would place lights in the reach of all. The government is asking us to col lect and ship 1 to them all the peach seed and nuts of every kind. They need these to make gas masks for our soldiers and this gives the boys and girls an opportunity of doing some real patriotic work. They tell us that seven pounds of nut shells or 200 peach seed are enough for one gas mask. Let’s see if each boy and girl can’t collect enough to furnish at least one soldier with a gas mask. There are hickory nuts around your home and probably peach seed that have been left to rot that our govern ment needs and I am asking that you boys and girls collect these and send them in to me. Our government doesn’t pay any thing for these, but it is our patriotic duty to collect them and send them in. Some soldier might have to go with out a mask if we fail to do our part. Let’s see how much we can send from our county. LELA 1V1. DICKSON, County Home Demonstration Agent CARD OF THANKS. We desire to thank our kind friends and neighbors for their kindness, and kind words of sympathy during the illness and death of our “dear Tom mie." We also thank them for the beau tiful wreaths given. We especially thank Drs. Seawright and Wallis for their prompt atten- ion. . May God richly bless each of you, is the prayer of MR. AND MRS. S. M. NIPPER AND FAMILY. FOR SALE. One 5-passenger Overland car in good condition, for $756.00. Can be seen at my home near Corinth church. W. W. McGARlTY. NOTICE! All who owe me are urged to come and settle at once. I accommodated you and now I need your help so that I can meet my obligations. Yours is past due. Come at once. J. E. TRAVIS. Maybe you can’t fight; but you can give to the UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN. First Ten States to Go “Over the Top” in Raising Funds for Army Welfare Organization Will Be Hon ored by Having Huts on Battle Fields of France Named for Them. Georgia Must Lead the Charge. “Georgia” may go to Berlin, at the the head of a victorious allied army— provided she is the first, or one among the first ten states in the nation to go “over the top” in the United War Work Drive, which occurs on Novem ber lltli to 18th—from next Monday, through the following Monday. She may go there in the form of an army welfare hut for her own brave boys. Georgia’s quota for this important war work fund is $1,585,785, and one of the most thorough organizations ever yet perfected for a public patriot ic campaign is now blazing the way through every part of the state, and, judging by reports coming from all sections, Georgia, by every citizen do ing his full share, is going to raise her quota very quickly. The important thing is for Georgia to exceed her quota first among all states, in order that she may win one of the highest honors of the war. Camp Wheeler, Ga., Nov. 4, 1918. Dear News: We are still grinding here at Whee ler. The camp is filling up fast. They have been rolling in here from New York and Alabama at some gait for quite a while and nine thousand more are due here in a short time. I enjoyed preaching three times yes terday. Had nine bright conversions. It’s all stuff about soldiers wanting a fellow to pull off about ten minutes of something that won’t wake » fellow up. They are just folks and despite their military life they^-want a fellow to swung out and prfe\cli; and they sit with’ their mouths ofien till he is through. I had a score or more of officers and men last night to say to me “that, kind of talk, will prepare the fellows for anything.” You need not tell me that any kind of big strong folks want to hear your namby-pamby. Anyway, I haven’t tried it and I ain’t. I feel just like I hadn’t begun to live till now. I like this job. I have the promise of a trip to New York with a troop train, and maybe over seas. We often send men along with the trops—always do when possible. The campaign is now on for funds for the seven-fold welfare organizations. 1 may be out of camp for a few days in the drive making speeches. Send me paper. W. N. HILL. Keep their hearts strong, their spir its bright and their courage high for the grueling task over there! Give liberally to the UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN. him, and he simply can’t do enough for me and is a good scout for food. We have plenty of guns, ammuni tion, food and everything to never let up on Fritizie. I really don’t think this drive will stop until he lays down on the job. Hope to hear from you soon, and just pass this along, as I am too busy to write much. BERNARD. Keep the home fires burning over there. Give to the UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN. A REAL MAN. The government has adopted mourning hassard for the relatives of the men dying while in the service. This hassard consists of a band of black velvet with a gold star to be worn on the left arm; a silver star for the wounded. The Red Cross, through their home service, will furnish, without cost, these hassards to father, mother or wife of the soldier or sailor, and to other members of the family they will sell them at cost. They will cost 65 cents. Please let the home Service know, through Mrs. F. B. Brown, just how many of these hassards to order. The Christmas labels will soon be beginning to arrive from France to relatives here. Present these at the Red Cross rooms, between the 10th and 15th of November, and secure a box and certificate to send your boy in France a Christmas present. DO NOT COME WITHOUT YOUR LA BEL FROM FRANCE. Little Dorothy Redwine will remem ber with pride some day that she helped sew for the soldiers in the great world war. She sewed three pads last week in the Red Cross room. This should put some grown ladies to shame. Karen Lester and Mary Lynn Brog- don are two other girls who have giv en some of- their time to the cause. By the time the paper is out, we hope to have our mending under way. The government has sent us 250 un dergarments to be patched, darned and sent back to Camp Gordon. Those ladies wo feel like they cannot make surgical dressing, but who can sit by the fire and darn and patch, should call Thursday afternoon at the work rooms. Some one will be there to give them work and instruction and then if they wish they may cany the work home to be done. October 7, 1918. A. E. F. My Dear Mother: Your letter of about September 1 arrived this morning. Was indeed glad to hear from you. Today I am occupying a.dugout that Fritzie built way back, and it’s a good one. He had beds, table, chairs, stove and elec tric lights — well, I will say, a home of the best order. It’s mighty pleas ant, compared to the last month’s ex perience. We, or I should say all warm enough, and if I. get too cold to ter for thirty days. I am wearing more clothes than I have ever worn before. The weather is about like December at home—every morning a heavy frost, and some rain every day, or night. The way I sleep is to leave on all my clothes, put on my overcoat, rain coat, wrap up in a blanket and cover the whole pile with a shelter half; I might add that the ground is war ■enough, and if I get too cold to sleep at night, I make up for it next day in the sunshine. Every week we go from one to three j days without hot food. Last week; we had hot food only two days; other' times we eat corned beef and hard | tack made of flour and water. Oh, how good it is! If you heat the hard tack it is about like a crust of bis- The financial report for the past three months of our Red Cross chap ter is as follows: Balance at beginning of report..? 77.91 25% of war fund drive .... 284.33 New members 1.00 Total $363.24 Cash paid out: Materials for work room . . .$107.88 Freight on supplies and finished articles . . . .’ 8.29 Comfort bays 23.3fO Postage 1.00 Miscellaneous expense .... 8.20 Remittance for new members .50 $149.17 Balance . . .$214.07 • MATTIE MAE LEWIS, i Treasurer. Let all those who are willing to cuit; otherwise, it’s about like a block make comfort bags for our boys who of wood. When the kitchen does come up hot cakes, syrup, hot coffee, beef steak and French fried potatoes hit the spot, and you don’t care what hap pens. These boys don’t complain about anything. They pay for the pleasure of “licking” the kaiser with arms and legs and good lives and never com plain. Sometimes I wonder if there’s people at home that think it hard to not waste gasoline, and that Liberty Bonds are useless. They ought to have forty-eight hours with the boys now and their selfishness would leave them, but they are husky, happy fel lows just the same. are leaving this month, meet at the room on Jonesboro street next Tues day afternoon at one o’clock. Sixty comfort bags are to be provided. The wool has come and knitting cir cles will soon be organized for the win ter. Mesdames Starr and Stype will have charge of this department.

No attempt should be made to teach Fritizie had bread made of grain like , naturally left-hunded children to use rye; it Is fair. His meat was a very their right hands, according to P.

It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. ^ bank account is a stimu lant ts real manhood, The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing nntil you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE.
