On April 14, 1844, when flften years

When there came to us the touching
news of Grandmother Webbs passing
into the spiritual world, we thought
pot of the long, still sleep of the bods
hit of the beautiful, radiant spirit of
which had so recently been the habita
tion. For a beautiful, radiant spirit
she was, indeed. And, if to one who
knew her but a few brief weeks this
Was evident, what a beneficient influ
ence she must have had upon those
who knew her all their ives!
Born in the good od days when the
' Southland wa s still new, and gaining
a living from the land meant unflag
ging industry from sunrise to sunset,
she was a diligent mate and mother,
itsrning through her but v dav s spent
Pear tne heart of nature many truths
winch abided with her roughout her
,:io and useful life.
At the age of thircy-two she saw
; t’.-c ower.’ng of the Civil War cloud
w.r<t fcr four years overshadowed
the South. Her husband was sta
■ tinned < n duty at me Andersonville
; prison, a privilege granted him for
■ the sake of being near his wife and
little ones. Many loving pilgrim
ages she made, carrying to him sub
stantial good cheer and encourage

ANOTHER OPEN LETTER
PUBLISHED BY REQUEST
MR. D. R. ANDREWS,
Americus, Ga.
Mgr. Rylander Shoe Co.
Last week you published an OPEN LETTER in our ad
vertising space in The 7 imes-Recorder signed GEORGE M.
c— —e. I read this with interest and feel that it is such a
good thing that I want also to sorter “push it along.”
I’ve been a member of your COMFORT CLUB as you
call it, for some time and I got wise to what real summer comfort is,
just the same way that GEORGE M. did. It’s a pity that
more of us newspaper readers don’t read advertisements more. I
find your ads. carry messages that are really interesting, and be
lieve me, I’m reading them every day now. It doesn’t take long
and it puts me wise to some mighty good things that you keep
adding to that big line of yours.
By the way, Dave, I’ve a mighty close friend up at Souther
Field, fine boy I want you to look after in his outfits. He will
come in at my request and introduce himself, treat him light and
you’ll add another friend from that Camp of high class military
men. Fine bunch of fellows aren’t they, officers and privates?
I couldn’t resist this effusion after reading Sunday’s open
letter and if you want to publish this as a sort of a backer for
George’s letter, use it by all means. I always tell my friends
MEET ME AT RYLANDER’S” whether I have anything
to buy or not —I just enjoy looking around that busy store of
yours. Your friend,

i acteristic of other good women of
the South, she cared for her little ;
flack, exer cheery and faithful. n
Her cheerfuless and faith were
life-long characteristics. She was
waithful, not only to her chosen church
but in a* larger sense faithful to all
the duties of life, doing because of
her faith, many good works.
The divinely intended mission of
woman is motherhood —a mission
which she beautifully fulfilled, and
•the Father of AH blessed her giving
her length of days and the pleasure of
seeing the fifth generation of her;
people.
She was' ever interested in che life
of the community, being present, if i
possible, at all its social and relig-'
ious gatherings. At home she wel
corned all comers and was always ■
pleased to hear of the neighborhood
happenings. How we shall miss her, |
her keen sensse of humor and witty i
sayinks!
Those who knew Grandmother
Webb will remember her radiant ■
smile and the wonderful vision which i
was hers even in the days of her
ninetieth year. Without glasses she
could plainly see objects at a far-dis- J
tance, far beyond the road into the;

fields. And we confidently feel that
; her physical eyesight was but as ym
!bol of her spiritual vision, which saw
beyond the road of time into the
' Fields Eternal —saw the light which
1 was reflected in her smile. And, be
lieving htus, we feel that no truer
tribute can be paid her than that ex
! pressed in the chiseled words on the
marble wfhich marks her resting
place: “She saw her life-long cherish
ed fulfilled and caught the
welcome of a Savior’s love.”

STARRY FLAG IN
SHRINE OF JOAN
\ WITH THE AMERICAN EXPEDI
j TIONARY FORCES, at the Front, May
■ 28.—(8y Mail) —With characteristic
French appreciation the Stars and
Stripes have been placed in a position
lof honor in the church of the little
! village of Domremy, home of Joan of
' Arc.
I Across from the ironed-fenced yard '
ithe tall evergreen trees and the tiny
I
house once the home of Joan of Arc,
■is the old church in which Joan used
jto worship and give thanks for'
■ France’s success. In it are the flags '
|of the principal allied nations.
But there is one place different from
I the ordinary flag hangings on the col
; umng of the old church. It is a sort of
; special altar in one corner sacred to
j the memory of Joan of Arc. To the
i left as you face this altar is a bright
I new American Stars and Stripes,
while to the right is the flag of France
of Joan on her black horse engraved
on the white bar of the tri-color.
There are many tri-colors in France,
naturally, but this seems the only one
on which an additional figure is allow
ed.
Another blight American flag is in
the beautiful church on the hilside
back of the seepy Domremy in which
Joan saw her visions. Domremy is
one of the main roads back of the Am
! erican sector, and never a day passes
I without many doughboys and officers
stopping to visit the home of Joan of
Arc and the churches in which she
was inspired.
Tlie simpe old French woman, a di
rect descendant of the family of Joan
of Arc, whose husband is keeper of
the place in times of peace, does her
