McDonough, Georgia, frlDay. November is, 1918
GLORY H/SLLELUJAH!
THE WAR IS OVER!
’ l t
The American and Allies armistice termlwere signed by the German plenipotentiaries
at 2:45 o'clock Monday morning, and hostility ceased at 11 o'clock, Paris time, it was offi
cially announced by the State Department?, thus ending the greatest of all wa.s tn the w orld s
% - |f;
history.
And in a delirium of delight came great jubilees everywhere.
McDonough contributed her mite. Headed by the teachers, the school children marched
in a body to the public square, and as proposed by Prof. Clarke made the welkin ring with
cheer after cheer in turn for the Allies, President Wilson, and all the others, amid wild waiving
of Old Glory to the accompaniment of all conceivable noises by the little ones.
Bedlam broke loose after supper, when the boys gathered together every hideous sound
from autos up and down, rendering peaceful sleep impossible, and continuing to near dawn.

Omit Telephone
Calls and Help in
This Emergency.
Bell telephone service in Mo
Donough is seriously hampered
by the absence of two out of the
three regular employes operators
who are ill with Spanish influenza.
Adequate service cannot be ren
dered under these conditions un
less we have the patriotic co-ope
ration of the telephone-using pub
lic. The traffic is heavier than
usual, and our limited force oi
operators are striving to meet the •
unusual demands.
You are urged not to make loca
or long distance telephone calls
except in cases of absolute neces
sity. Ordinary business and so
cial calls must be eliminated so
that the traffic may be reduced to
the point where it can be handled
efficiently by the limited numbei
of operators who are able to per
form their duties.
If you make unnecessary call?
you will interfere with the emer
gency needs of the community
and prevent us from handling the
calls which are absolutely essen
tial.
Only through patriotic co-ope
ration of the entire telephone-us
ing public can we successfully
cope with this serious situation
and render service for the essen
tial needs of the pubkc.
