Sam Anderson Passes Away.
On April 6th, Mr. Sam Ander¬
son entered into a long, sweet and
peaceful rest with his savior after a
beautiful life of true fidelity. He
was the son of Mr. Bill Anderson,
and a father of four children with
whom we deeply sympathize.
Weep not for your father has
gone to that happy home in heav¬
en and has joined with mother who
has gone on before, and waits with
patients for the remaining ones to
come and join them in that happy
home above, where there will be no
sorrow, sickness nor death. Dear
children sad and lonely is your
home, but God will he with you.
His remains were laid to rest at
Philipi cemetery on Monday S.
We miss thee from our home, Dear
Father.
We miss thee from thy place.
Shadow over our life is caBt,
We the sunahiue of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing- hand,
Thy fond and earnest care.
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
A. brighter home than ours,
In heaven is now his own.

WAR RELIC TRAINS
GREETED BY CROWDS
Many Buy Liberty Bonds When They
See Horrors Of German Militar.
ism As Shown By Exhibits
Now Touring District -i
Atlanta.—The two special war rello
trains being operated though the Sixth
Federal Reserve District by the Liber¬
ty Loan Committee to stimulate in¬
terest in the third bond issue are be¬
ing greeted with enthusiasms at ev¬
ery stop, according to reports from
the superintendents on board. These
trains left: Atlanta on April C, one to
tour Tennessee, Georgia and Florida,
the other to visit, points in Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana.
Each train carries a baggage car
and two flat cars laden with relics
from the field of battle. Among the
relics are parts of aeroplanes which
have taken part in some of the most
thrilling fights of tire war; huge can¬
nons; hand grenades; shells, helmets
and a vast collection of photographs
showing German atrocities in France
and Belgium. The exhibits were col¬
lected through tlie War Department.
Some of them were captured from The
Germans; others were contributed by
the French and British armies.
Many Buy Bonds.
The Government decided to operate
t.he special trains to stimulate interest
in the Liberty Loan, although the
great demand for transportation equip¬
ment has caused a shortage of cars.
This is an evidence of the seriousness
with which the need for money to
finance the war is viewed by Govern¬
ment officials.
At every, station the trains have
been visited by thousands of people.
The farmers especially have been at¬
tracted by the exhibit which brings
home to them for the first time, in
some instances, the horrors of this
war. Thousands of dollars have been
subscribed by, visitors to the trains,
showing how the evidences of battle
have impressed the people.
Those In Charge.
Tlie trains will be operated through
out the campaign anrt will stop oniy
at the small towns. They are under
the direction of the publicity organi¬
zation of which Rt. Elmo Massertgale
is director. W. R. C. Smith, of Atlan¬
ta, is directly in charge of the oper¬
ation of the trains.
The farmer's plea that he has not
bought Liberty Bonds because he is
helping his country by speeding up
food production will flot stand. Every
manufacturer who is making supplies
for the army and navy is doing as
much. They’re buying bonds, too.
MULES
April 23, i 9 i 8 , will be my last
day in Cleveland this season.
1 have a number of good mules
on hand with the price cut on
every mule.
Buy a pair of 2 or 3 year olds
and carry them over as mules will
be much higher next season.
See me either next Saturday,
Monday, or Tuesday.

MILL OWNER GITS NEW
LIGHT ON PATRIOTISM
Some of the owners of, Southern
industral plants feel that they have
been made to carry their full share
of the burden of the war through the
income tax and excessive profits laws,
but one has been convinced that he
is being "let down” rather lightly
thus far.
The incident occurred in the direc¬
tors’ room of a bank. The president
of a mill, in discussing war finances
remarked; ‘‘I’ve paid the Government
$45,000 incotoe tax and 1 don’t see
how 1 can invest very heavily in Gov¬
ernment bonds."
“How much of the remaining 55
per cent of your income would have
accrued under business conditions
other than those now existing?” One
of iiis friends asked.
The mill owner seemed perplexed.
As all the men in the group were
friends the president of the bank
mentioned that the mill owner's busi¬
ness had increased 35 per cent during
the past year, accordng to the bank
records.
*As a matter of fact,” his friend
remarked, “You have paid but ten per
cent on normal business. You haven’t
been hard hit at all.”
The mill owner confessed this was
a new view point to him.
The owner of a large mercantile
house made a confession at this
point. He said his income tax had
amounted to $15,000 and he had
thought he had done a great deal, but
he realized now that he was doing
comparatively little.
The mill owner and the merchant
both pledged to Invest heavily in the
Third Liberty Loan to keep their con¬
science clear toward the Government.
And the others enjoyed a good
laugh.
The cycle of money invested la
Liberty Honda is short and complete.
The people lend the money to the
Government; the Government lends
some to our allies; and our Govern¬
ment and our allies straightway
spend the money, or the greater por¬
tion of it, among the people ot the
United S-tates. In some instances the
money paid in by wage earners on
one installment of Liberty Bonds is
paid by the Government to their em¬
ployers and by their employers paid
back to them in the way of wages
before the next bond installment is
due.
The proceeds of the Liberty Loan.
Including the greater part of that
loaned to our allies, are being spent
for American products—the products
of our factories, our farms, our mines
and other industries. In lending to
the United States the people are lend¬
ing to tlieir best and largest customer.
Musical Entertainment.
For tlie entertainment ot’ the
people of Shoal Creek community

School House Saturday evening,
