IN MEMORIUM. \\ ithin slingshot of my own, and near the rippling waters of Bonnv Brook is a quiet little home, and when I think of the dear one, whose bright smile,-yea merry laugh, will never gladden it again, my heart is fllled with sorrow and mine eyes are dint with tears. Victor Hugo Matthews was born near Cassville, Ga., July 2nd, 1893. Soon after his birth his parents mov ed, and his young childhood was spent playing with the white pebbles and wild flowers of old Gilmer county. Subsequent to that, his parents moved back to Cassville, where they hav ever since resided, and his boyhood and young manhood was spent in the pursuit of agriculture. Three years ago he was stricken with typhoid fev er, and for nine weeks his life swung in the balances. The love of mother and son, always beautiful, was in this instance so intensified that it seemed like something sacred, although there were others ready to regard any wish, none could administer the nourish ment or medicine like mother, and her loving heart always responded to his every wish and want, deeming n > sacrifice too great. But as the months spend on, and the roar of the artillery and depredations of the submarine grew more unbearable, the govern ment realized that the standing army was insufficient to meet the dreaded enemy; so the decree went forth, that on June the sth, 1917, the flower of America would be required to reg ister. When boys reach the age of 21 they generally begin to picture air-castles, in which some pretty girl reigns as queen, so on the 4th of November, 1917, he was quietly married to Miss Pearl Tow of Adarisville, Ga. Only six weeks of that dream was realized, and then came the shadow that seper ation was before them. But forgetting the things of the past, and with the watchword of duty on tablets before him, he cheerfully donned the jacket, of kahki and willingly responded to the call of his country. Only five times was the hearts of his loved ones made to rejoice, when his manly fig ure crossed the threshold. He' made his last visit to them March 28th, (for the second division had already been assigned to France) but within 48 hours dread disease had fastened its fangs upon him, and for weeks his nurses and physicians battled for Hig life. Then came the decision that the IF YOU HAVE A GARDEN BE SURE AND HAVE A TURNIP PATCH. We Have Just Received A Big Lot of GARDEN SEED We Have Parafine Wax At 25c Package Young Bros.

M., he went on the operating table; weakened nature failed to assert it self, and for six hours he remained under the anaesthetic. After reaction came and he was able to be wheeled about on the veranda, even then his physicians were apprehensive, al though to all outward appearance he was gradually improving. About 10 days before his decease his physician gently broke the sad intelligence that this earth wa sfast receding from him, and following the example of our Savior, whose last act was to com mend his mother to the beloved dis ciples, he wrote at once to his loved ones to come to him before the fatal malady wrapped him in oblivion, and. when the south-bound locomotive rolled into Cass Station it was to take on hearts whose sunshine had sudden ly turned Into midnight. But hope again revived when he was found to be holding his own. But, alas; for human hopes end expectations; as a lull amid the storm only to gather more vehemance, this little respite on ly proved a stepping stone to the final operation. We know that God doeth all things well, and through all those weary hours of suffering his plans were unfolding, for as the chrystal beats its wings against its dark cell, only, to assume a greater brilliancy in the winged state, Ward 17 only proved the dressing room in which to don the wedding garment, and looking up into the face of his loved ones he began to pour forth the raptures of anew born soul, that the mists had rolled away, and the beauties of the promised land was dawning upon him, for he had met the King and touched the hem of his garment, and on the evening of June 23rd, ere the clock had chimed the midnight hour, Jesus Christ in his great tender mercy exclaimed, it is enough. And turnng to the brightest convoy of Angels around the throne, he bade them speed on swiftest wings, to the Base Hospital at Camp Gordon, r snap the prison bars and waif the tired spirit to the great beyond. Into the harbor of Heaven now we glide, Home at last: Softly we drift on the bright silver tide Home at last : Glory to God, all our trials are o’er, We stand secure on the glorified Glory to God we shall shout ever THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSViLLE, GEORGIA, JULY 18, 1918 more, Home at last: Home at last. iFs remains were conveyed to Ca-'S ville unde* military escort.

Scott officiated at the funeral, and while one c-f the stars the.’ adorn the service Mug that hangs in the old Meth'dist c l urch at Cassville will be cove ed with gold .another star adorned with the priceless gems of suffering will grace the flag that waifs itself around the throne of God. And now bereaved ones, cheer up, realizing the fact that your loved one has only crossed the Mystic River, and will be at the pearly gates wait ing to welcome you home. May Gcd in His infinite mercy put His strong and loving arms around you, and shield you from all harm, may His love and peace be shed abroad in your hearts, and finally may the Sav-' iour’s blood wash you from all impur ities and prepare you to enter into the land of everlasting felicity. FANNIE LEE MARTIN. DON'T SAY “HERE BOY” TO TEXAS SENATOR Senator Shepard, of Texas, says a Washington dis’patch, lacks the air of antiquity usually associated with the members of the senate. , The other day Sheppard,, emarfed from the smite military jrffairs com mittee, and,was pomp ous stranger, wp&jijtetr a’c ar and from his pocke/Atfpahyaafnough speak ing to a jfrtXctt this card to /gefjpftnan evidently was a and had an air withtHiim, as well as as expensive efineya shine and good clothes. Senator Sheppard didn’t even hesi tate " “Aye, aye, sir,’’ he said, humbly and delivered the card forthwith to Senator Chamberlain. It is said the gentleman didn’t get the commission in the intelligence ‘ er\ ice he wanted for his nepliey, cause Senator Chamberlain reasoned that if~the uncle displayed so little intelligenice as to mistake a senator for an office boy, the nephew might mistake an admiral for a German bandmaster. In England they say, “Every Shil ling wasted stabs a soldier in the back.” Chaingang Forces Are Now Combined j It was announced this Week that | the two county chain-gangs had been consolidated into one and that Mr. J. S. White had been named County Warden. He was formerly deputy warden and succeeds Mr. John L. Leach, resigned. The county gang wmen now num bers less than thirty men, has begun work in the Adairsville district and then will work down the Tennessee road to the city of Cartersville. Re inforcement of the “bone dry’’ line with its constant reduction of crimi nals has greatly educed the chain gang forces of the county, a fact which is not to be regretted by all citizens. In former years it is said the county chain-gang numbered as high as ioO men. The commissioners at their receit meeting discussed the matter of se curing funds from the Federal Gov ernment to carry on road work in Bartow county and full details are to be secured from the officials in charge of disbursing this fund. GEORGE 111 WAS OF GERMAN BLOOD—AND AN ANCESTOR OF THE KAISER. This war has demonstrated in tragic f ashion the importance of the edti cated citizenship in a democracy. When the war with Germany came on, the average educated, well-inform ed American at once threw himself heart and soul with the American cause. He did so because he knew what the war meant. Unfortunately, however, our average voter had studied nothing about the menace of Kaiserism, had never fa miliarized himself with the names of Nietche, Bernhardi, and Treitschke and knew nothing of Germany’s Cea ser-like plans to make conquest of the world. In fact, the distinction be tween the Government of Germany, ruled as that country is by a “divine right” Kaiser andiu# military author ities, and the present-day government of England in which the King is only a figure-head and the people rule as as completely as the people in the United States—even these distinc tions were hardly familiar to the aver age citizen before the war came on. In the limited instruction given in our public schools below the high school, no mention is made at all of the change in English government since 1776, nor are fundamental facts about the Revolutionary War itself emphasized as they should be. For example, how many of our people know today that the British tyrant king, George 111 who fought us during the Revolutionary - 'Wat- was of Ger man blood, having a German father and a German mother, and that the present tyrant-Kaiser is on his moth er’s side a lineal descendant of the same King George we fought? Yet these are the facts. Let’s put these facts somewhat more in order. 1. George 111 was of German fam ily, George I being imported from Ger many and never learning to speak English at all, while George II came to England from Germany when he was 31, and married a German. George 111 was a first cousin of Fred erick of Prussia and ‘‘had been es pecially taught by his German moth er,” says Larnard, that he must rule and not the people of England. 2. Coming to the throne, this au tocratic rule is what George 111 tried to accomplish; and the war against the American colonies was fought in the days when the King controlled Parliament—not the Parliament the king as now. As Larnard wrote in his history of England years ago: “It was( the blind obstancy of King George, more than any and all states of feeling among his subjects, that carried England into conflict with her children in America, and that gave an irreconcilable' bitterness to the strife. ... He managed the d> ings of government in his own way.” 3. Meanwhile', however, while Ca urge 111 was trying to oppress Am erica and carry out his Kaiser-like idea of making everything bow to the King’s will (and hiring Hessian sol dierg from Germany to conquer Am erica), Pitt, Burke, Fox and others of the greatest Englishmen of the time ‘the' - King, and fought on many occasions in Parlia ment in tb? interest of the Ameri cans,” Chatham boldly declaring in a famous speech in the House ol Ootn ons: “If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, \* SOEDIER’S INSURANCE Secretary McAdoo has called upon ! *ll local draft boards to acquaint drafted men with the provisions of t e soldier-insurance law and to urge every drafted man to take out this n. urance. The boards have been fur nished with literature to aid them in this educational york. The law affording insurance to our fighting forces has well been called ’he most humane provision ever made by a nation for Its soldiers and sailors. The Government and the American people recognize the jus tice of affording this protection to the men who risk their lives for their country and to their families and de pendents at home. It. is only just to themselves and to their families and dependents that our fighting men avail themselves of this opportunity. Every American enlisted should take out this Insurance and carry with him into danger this insurance and heartening knowledge that whatever happens, himself and his dependents are proected by liis government. Great as the danger and large as the losses in the aggregate, the indivi dual soldier has plenty of chances of coming out of the war unscratched, or at least not badly hurt. Based on the mortality statistics of the allied armies, a soldier’s chances are as follows: Twenty nine chances of coming home to one chance of being killed. Forty-nine chances of recovering from wounds to one chance of flying from them. One chance in 500 of losing a limb Will live five years longer because >f physical training, is freeer from dis ease iu the army than in civil life, and has better medical care at the Iron* than at home. In other wars 10 to 15 men died from disease to 1 from bullets; in this war one man dies from diseast to every 10 from bullets. For those of our fighting men who do not escape scratches, the Gov ernment under the soldier and sail or insurance law gives protection to the wounded and their dependents and to the families and dependents of those who make the supreme sacri fice for their country. The present rations in Berlin are as follows, the quantities being for one person for one week: Bread and flour, 4 pounds. Butter and margarine, 2 1-2 ounces. Potatoes, 7 pounds. Meat, 4 1-2 ounces. Bones, l 3-4 ounces. Sausage, 1 3-4 ounces. Sugar, 6 ounces. In addition, each person is allowed one egg a month. Milk is provided only for children under six years cf ■ge and for invalids. never would lay down my arms—nev er, never, never.” 4. The liberty-loving English peo jde have since compelled the King to give up one power after another until he now has practically no authority, but in Germany, as we have seen, this idea of autocratic rule by a monarch exist rampant and uncurbed—The Progressive Farmer.
