CAPT. WILLIAM RELLUM
A Valuable Citizen Passed Away
Last Week

Capt. William Hellum, who
lived a few miles from Macedonia,
died last Friday after an illness of
considerable length. The deceased
was SO years and four months old,
a member Of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church, a man who saw
active service in two wars. He
was a man of strong convictions,
but considerate of the conviction
of others. He was a clever citizen
and will be missed.
When a boy, in his teens, he
entered the army during the war
with Mexico and served through
that conflict. He was a captain
in the Confederate army and
served through that unfortunate
war. He was wounded, if we
mistake not, three times while
fighting for the cause of the south.
The burial occurred last Saturday
at Shiloh after funeral services
conducted by Rev. Mccoy, Of
Mckenzie.

For the Weak and Nervous

Tired-out, weak, nervous men
and women would feel ambitious,
energetic, full of life and always
have a good appetite, if they would
do the sensible thing for health

The Nashville boosters went
from here to Mckenzie last Sat
urday. One Of the speakers there
was so impressed with the recent
Improvements that he kept calling
the town Huntingdon. The local
boosters. however, could not stand
for the mistake and called him
down with luster. The speaker
was really excusable for heo was
just from Huntingdon where the
welcome was SO warm and
gracious that it was hard to for
get, and then Mckenzie is grow
ing very much like Huntingdon
in civic pride and material devel-
ment.

One of the booster firms out
of Nashville last week distributed
literature printed for it in Atlanta.
One of the big claims made BY the
boosters was that Nashville was
second only to New York as a
printing town. Wonder why the
booster did not boost his own
town by sending out literature
with home imprint on itQ Bush
ness men in towns frequently have
their work done in other towns
when they could get it done just
as well at home. This is not SEN
timent, this is business. 1t is
nothing but just to give home
first chance at least.

Once year those old Confeder-
ate soldiers, who are able and care
to do so, meet in an annual reun-
ion. Chattanooga entertained
them this week. Several thou
sands were in attendance. 1t is a
great treat to them to meet and
discuss those days in which history
was made, days that tried mems
souls. They are growing old, and
in few years there will not be
enough left to justify the gather
ings of this kind. They will have
passed over the river and struck
camp on the beautiful shore.

A Nashville booster, who was
formerly drummer, and made
this town when Huntingdon had
mud streets lighted by coal oil
lamps, was heard to say last Sat
urday when he got off Of the train
that this was not Huntingdon, that
he knew Huntingdon. He finally
admitted his mistake, but insisted
that he had never seen such i'm
provements in any town. The con-
trast in the day be referred to and
now is indeed very great.

Huntingdon has an opportunity
to build up her school interest sur
passing anything that has come
this way in a long while. 1t will
not only insure better school facil-
tiles for the children Of the town
but it should cause families who
have children to educate to locate
here. Such a school, in five years,
should add many hundred people
to our town, for if the proposition
goes through, which it will, in our
opinion, we will have the best
school Of the kind in this end Of
the state. This is proposition
our people should investigate and
give it their hearty support.

The city council of Ripley, Ten

forbidding the shipment of liquor
into Ripley, and has notified the

FRIDAY, MAY 80. 1918
TROUBLE MAKERS

There are some people in this
world either purposely or unfor-
tunately inclined to cause trouble.
The fact that most Of Us are too
free of speech. We heedlessly
make statements, sometimes with
out seriously considering the pos
sible effect they may have. FIRE.
qaently a careless charge brings
about serious results. If we
would measure our words it would
be better for US all.
One man in congress threatens
to make a speech which would in
volye two nations in endless trou-
BILE. AT Che best nothing can be
gained from the incindiary talk
intended, and the complacent re-
lations that have existed between
Japan and the United States may
be disturbed.
Such turbulent spirits are trou-
BILE makers. They are irebrands
and are continually dangerous, not
purposely, perhaps, but dangerous
just the same.
NJ. Ossip Lourie, a Russian-Jew-
ish writer, declares in a recent es-
say published in Paris that civiliza-
ton is now suffering from YER
bomnia and that words have be-
come an actual menace to society.
Denunciations and diatribe -four
ish on all sides like poison vines.
The gentle ant of silence should be
in the schools, in the homes, in the
pulpits. We should warn our
children against speech, and use it
ourselves with rigid economy, 1t
is a swift and consuming fire, and
{ ut individual is doomed Whose
mouth continually blazes with
wordsand phrases. IT 1--WE could but
set aside one day when the tongues
ofall creation would cease to wag it |
is just possible that we might hear
the hutter of angel wings.
Togo, chat admirable man of
Japan, is called Togo the Silent. =
There is no question that he is
leader Of the most extraordinary
foresight and capabilities, Admir-
alton is not based alone upon his
naval victories, but because he
possesses the taciturnity of great
fighters, and great fighters are
only forced into trouble because
Others make it possible.
Washington's reserve made him
stiff, formal and i'll at ease in
company, but it also prevented his
plans from being betrayed to the
enemy and the country from being
deceived by his promises.
The man who is continually
talking must necessarily cause
trolble. Commercial Appeal.

The heroes of '6l had a big time
in Chattanooga this week. They

never been recorded in the history
books, but they live in the hearts
Of these brave men all the same.

The governor Of Kansas wants
to abolish the legislature and let a

Protect the Birds

G0NQlllDu Ot tAistlHS laSAS WulSu
would be folly for anyone to I'M
dertake to deny or dispute. Ny
information on the subject is lin
tied to my own personal observa-
tion and may not therefore, be
presented in as logical and as
forceful manner as the subject de-
serves.
/ wish we're able and had an
opportunity to speak my feelings,
and be understood, to every man,
woman and child in Tennessee.
In a state and country where we
are capable Of doing and where we
actually do great things, we are
prone to forget and neglect some
things that are apparently small,
but which are in reality great.
The protection of non-game
birds means millions of dollars to
the farmers of this country in in
sect destruction and weed eradica-
ton. / may be somewhat cranky
and oyer-zealous when state that
it is the height of ingratitude to
watch a catbird satisfy her appe-
lite BY eating a handful Of cater
pillars from a choice appletree,
then to take the taste out of her
mouth fit away for ripe cherry
or berry Of some kind and in doing
so get shot-ingratitude exempli-
fed by a real tragedy "a benefac-
tor and a friend slaughtered by
him to whom it was sent by wise
Creator to benefit economically,
and to cheer with its message of
love given forth from vocal chords
never to be equalled or approach
ed by the most accomplished prlma
donna.
The people are aware as never
before of the cruelty as well as,
The economic loss involved in the
unchecked slaughter of birds. One
Of the minor features of the I'm
lerwood tariff bill is to this end:
''The importation of the feathers,
luills, heads, wings, skins or parts
If skins of wild birds, either raw
1r manufactured, and not for
or educational purposes
S hereby prohibited" The pro-
libition is the favorable response
% the humane sentiment of the
and is aimed to stop traf-
ic in the trophies Of as wanton a
slaughter as was ever perpetrated
% cater to the vanity of human
sind.
If the farmers, the school teach
srs, the newspapers and other like
agencies would exert their power
ful influence for a few years in be-
laIf of these little friends, we
.ould, with almost absolute assur-
lnce, feel safe from insect pests,
md instead of the croak of the
'rog there would come from the
orchard, the meadow and the
leep tangled wildwood, melodies
which would excel that of the bali
bling brooks" styled by poets as
natures sweetest music.
If protection is not given the
same, in a few years there will
come from our woodlands and for
'est deathlike silence. The boil
Teeyil, potato beetle, grasshopper
md all other insect enemies of the
ield and orchard will march I'M
checked and unhindered, doing
lamage equal to that Of all the
thoughts, floods, cyclones and tor
ladoes.
Think about it. This is no idle
lream. Let us no longer strain
with the destruction of
yhese little creatures God Al
mighty gave to bless the lives of
men," 1T will soon be too late
