PERSONAL and LOCAL
Mr. J. Fred Ricketson, who has
been in the service of his country
for some months, was in the city
Sat n rday afternoon. He has re
ceived a final and honorable dis
charge and returned to civil life.
He seems to be in fine health and
evidently enjoying himself before
settling down to business. He
hasn't decided where his lines will
be cast, whether in the office of
the Coffee County Progress or
“Down on the Farm.”
Pearson had many candidates
within her borders Saturday, not
withstanding the rain and slush,
the disagreeable weather. It is
all over now and the same good
humor prevails as was exhibited
during the short campaign. The
editor did his campaigning in the
Tribune office, turning out cam
paign documents for the other fel
lows.
Mr. and Mrs. 11. 11. Parker,
have received a letter from their
son, Herbert, written from France
since the signing of the armistice,
which stated that he was safe and
well. It was his good fortune to
be on leave to rest up when the
last and most desperately fighting
took place. These are happy par
ents, and the Tribune rejoices
with them in their exultation.
Herbert is a fine boy and beloved
by all who know him. They con
fidently expect him, now, to come
home soon.
Audrey Wall, another one of
our soldier boys, is expected home
as soon as he is relieved from the
hospital where he is being treated,
he having been a victim of Her
man poisonous "gas.” '1 he Tri
bune sympathizes with him in his
misfortune and hopes he w ill soon
fully recover from its effect. He
writes that the “gas” of which he
was a victim was not the most
dangerous kind. Hope he will
soon be home to greet the new
"American” son who has arrieved
since his going to France. Forlu
tunate baby! so many babies all
over America will never see their
fathers.
All services at the Ilaptist
church, Sunday, were annulled by
the rain. It rained all day, and
going out was rendered very un
comfortable, so everybody, as far
as possible, remained in doors.
Rev. O. B. Talley, the new
Methodist pastor, will receive a
hearty welcome at the hands of
the people here, as he is well
known to many of them. —Ho-
niervillc News. Mr. Tally will
prove an energetic and progress
ive pastor and citizen, very much
alive to all things making for the
good of tflie community.
Rev. O. B. Talley has recovered
his Car No. Tag. A reader of the
Tribune found the tag, read the
notice in the Tribune, compared
them and brought the tag to its
owner. He says it pays to adver
tise in the Tribune.
Mr. 11. 11, Parker has recovered
his milch cow, and feels much re
lieved.
Mr. W. J. Tyler, who was elect
ed a deacon for the Baptist church
some time ago, will be ordained on
the next third Sunday. All are
invited to witness the ordination
service. Two other deaeons, Dr.
A. F. Christopher and F. E. Mc-
Neal, were elected at the same
time but they had been ordained
and served as deacons before.
The Tribune sympathizea with
Mr. Lewis McNeal in the death of
his baby, which was buried yester
day in Sweetwater cemetary.
A number of young men who
went to the war from this section
bare returned home with their
final and honorable discharges.
Messrs. Cook, 11. C. Roberts and
John Starling.
Rev. W. C. Rohn and family are
detained from coming to Pearson
by sickness. She Tribune has not
learned particulars.

Current War Events
President Wilson and party are
now well on their way to France
and the peace conference. He will
not represent the United States at
the conference in an official capac
ity; Messrs. Lansing, House and
White will be America’s peace
commission and will control all
matters affecting America. They
are all able men, and eminent di
plomats.

The War Activities Board has
notified the Tribune of a consider
able relaxation of the former rule
applying to the mutual exchange
of papers, the sending of compli
mentary papers, the use of extra
copies of the paper in soliciting
patronage, and the issueing of
special editions: “Small favors
thankfully received and large ones
accordingly.”
xxx
The sugar regulation has been
modified, effective December Ist.
The per capita ration is four
pounds per month, and the entire
amount can be purchased at one
time. The use of certificates and
householder’s pledges in the pur
chase of sugar have been annulled.
The regulation price lists are con
tinued to prevent profiteering.
No changes have been made in the
wheat flour situation.
In his message to Congress on
Monday President Wilson declar
ed for modified private controll of
the nation’s railroads under uni
fied and greater public regulrtions.
He opposed a return to the old
condition of rail corporation. The
matter is in the bands of Congress,
xxx
Orders have been issued by the
War Department for the demobi
lization of all troops in the home
camps, numbering about 800,000
men. It is probable only one
camp in a state will be retained,
and these for the care and future
demobolization of troops on t heir
return from France. Camp Gord
on will probably become Georgia’s
permanent contonment.
xxx
The department of Food Ad
ministration will be continued,
and rigid conservation of food is
urged. America’s burden of feed
ing the world is more pressing
now than ever; she must feed the
world at least for another year.
Farmers are urged to produce all
the food possible, that they may
have plenty and to spare.
The American Third Army
have occupied about four hundred
square miles (about the size of At
kinson county) of German terri
tory in the vally of the Rhine riv
er, which includes a number of
towns and villages. There is no
fratemixation of soldiers and citi
zens. The people store helplessly
or follow quietly behined the Am
ericans. The only demonstration
is the tolling of bells.
xxx
The world has peace, but not a
formal peace. It is the opinion
President Wilson and others, who
have kept pace with the develop
ments, that the peace conference
will finish its labors and declare a
formal peace in time for a stren
uous Fourth of July celebration in
1919.

An eminent Austrian banker,
Dr. Alfred Trieehl, says America
and the Allies “must not imprison
their debtors and expect them to
pay their debts.” He says “The
peace conference should arrange
first to pay Austria’s debts abroad,
later collecting from us, and second
should provide her means and raw
materials which will enable her to
earn the money with which to pay
indemnities.
PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basts of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.
To the voluntary service anil sacri
fice of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strengUi and morale of the Allied ar
mies and the civil pu#uluce.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe’s fate in the
mouths to come. In tiie past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of 11,820,-
000 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year—as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos
sible for them to maintain their de
fense against Germany.
Meeting tlds world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ
racy is a success and that in time of
need it will rise to its own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that it
bus shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes of the world.
Less Umn four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
hlB determination to meet America’s
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated bis confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
“Many thinking Americans," said
Mr. Hoover, "and the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
lias been confident that it could not be
done. Contrary proof is immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many di
rections and upon the mere word of
lisp aside from the ivirmrlrrhl:
ass, - I ’■ i our Ai > c-I :in"i i"
The history of the : c;.-ii liiih stra
ti on has clearly sin n :t llu.L the trust
of those who put their faith tu democ
racy has not been m. vd.
