study. though deeply interested
in any subject with which she
was not perfectly familiar, she
was especially interested in the
Divine Word. She had thorough
ly familiarized herself with every
portion of the scriptures and
could readily repeat almost any
passage, without a moments hest
tation.
In 1868 she came with her
brothers to make her home in
Newport and here she lived for
forty-six years worthy christian
life.
She was married Jan. |, 1873,
to j. G. Allen, of this place. To
them were born four children,
William Jones, Louis Seehorn,
Katie Vivian and Fannie Anna
Allen.
Three of these children died in
early childhood and while their
going was a great cross, under
which weaker minds and bodies
would have given away, she bore
it bravely and submissively, and
if possible it seemed that she lived
closer to the Master day by day.
In November of 1918, Mrs. AL
len moved from her home in New
port to what is known as the
Dutch Bottom Farm, after having
spent forty-one years in the home
where, she and Mr.. Allen began
their married life.
Surviving Mrs. Allen, are her
husband, J. G. Allen, her son,
Louis Seehorn Allen and foster
son, Gus Allison. Mr.. Allison was
taken into her home when mere
lad. There he was shared every
comfort with her and her family.
She gave to him always an
abundance of true motherly love
and wise motherly counsel.
In addition to these, two sisters
and three brothers mourn the
passing away of this lovely life.
Her children rise up and call
her blessed; her husband also
and he praiseth her.

IN MEMORY OF
MRS. ]. G.. ALLEN
Mrs. Allen Was Essentially LoyaB
She Never Swerved in
Love and Interest

touched with sorrow when it be-
came known a few weeks ago
that Mrs. Mamie Jones Allen had
passed to the Great Beyond. And
while mention of her death has
been made several times through
these columns, we feel that such
a life needs little fuller record
than we have heretofore given
her.
In the quiet of the early morn
ing, April 81, 1914, Aunt Mamie,
as she was Familiarity known, en-
tered into eternal peace. As
though only asleep her face show
ed the purity, the innocence and
the humility that made her life
beautiful.
Among many charming char
acteristics perhaps the most
striking was her inherent SINGER
ity and trust-pretense, unknown
to her and therefore a pettiness
in which she never INDUCED.
With such sincerity was coupled
gentlen oss and the most intense
sympathy with all distress. And
her sympathy always found ex-
preston either in tender or practi-
cal form.
She also possessed an mate
refinement and delicacy of feeling
which showed the high type of
Womanhood to which she belong
ed. In quiet, gentle and unas-
suming manner her life was filled
with kind deeds. She was indeed
a friend to all who needed her
and she loved her own people
and her friends with an abound
ing love.
Mrs. Allen was essentially loyal.
Having given herself to a friend
or a cause, she never swerved in
love and interest.
She was honest-utterly so,
with no compromise. She was
faithful even unto death, and all
bore witness to her faith. She
was wife, a mother and an hon.
ored citizen and there was none
her superior in any of these capa-
cities.
She was lady in all its true
meaning and to eulogize her in
empty, fulsome phrase would
seem a dissertation. Her life wRs
a moral asset to her family, to her
friends and to her city, and in her
sweet unselfish, yet calm and
dignified life the community was
set an example the worth of
which could never be estimated.
Mrs. Allen was the second
daugeter of the late Samuel
Chandler Jones, Sr. Her mother
was Isabelle Anne Wilson.
She was born in Bell County
Kentucky, May "a, 1910 and when
quite girl she lost her mother,
who left her with the care of three
younger brothers and younger
sister. 1t is needless to say that
she was faithful in the discharge
of every duty toward these moth.
erless little ones.
Her school girl days were spent
at the Rogersville Synodical Col
lege and Martha w as h in g O !

seventeen days to manufacture a ton

required in the manufacture of his
phonograph discs. Up to the out
break of the war all Of this carbolic
acid was imported from Europe-the
Edison works ranking as the largest
consumer OF carbolic acid in America.
Following Is an extract from the ar
ticle:
THE real war-no mere sport of
princelings, but humanity's strife for
progress and welfare, the war for the
liberation O. happiness-was here, |
was at the front. This room, piled
high with books and apparatus. was
the worlds military headquarters in
the only war worth waging, and be-
fore me sat the worlds acknowledged
leader, the determined and unconquer-
able genius who SO often had pressed
natures obstinate resistance from
stronghold to stronghold. and finally
to unconditional surrender.
Edison looked his part every inch
a wartime warrior and no lay figure
on dressparade--unsha disheveled,
dusty, his blue serge suit bagging about
him and wrinkled like seersucker, his
white hair was unkempt. and his face
pallid He looked as though he had
not slept for a week. When he shook
hands with me, his hand was cold as
a fish, though 1t was roasting day
in mid-August. But under their heavy
lids his blue eyes shone and sparkled.
All the blood in his body was in his
brain; he was thinking, thinkints,
thinking. ceaselessly driving all his
energy into siege that must be short.

now imperishable music hall ballad,
went to the window and stood for
some time silently looking at the

MANY AMERICANS
IN NEED Of HELP

New York. Oct 31.--H. II. Webb. a
New York mining engineer, who re-
turned from London on the Maure-
tania recently, brought with him a
personal letter from II. G. Hoover,
chairman Of the American Committee
in London, asking him to start a fund
to provide money for the work of
the committee, which is becoming
more and more necessary as the war
continues. Although the Government
funds helped greatly In expediting the
return Of tourists. nothing has been
done for the many Americans in Eng
land and on the continent who have
been engaged in minor professions,
Eor who have been connected with the
export trade to America. These peo-
pie are destitute now, the letter points
out. but they should be helped to stay
in Europe, as they can undoubtedly
resume their employment at the end
oe the war. Should they be shipped
over here at Government expense.
they would only swell the ranks OF
the unemployed in the United States.
In his letter Mr.. Hoover first taxes

pediting the return of the American
tourists. More than 100000 passed
through England en- route home, and
financial assistance was given to o.

assistance was in the form of loans,
hut the committee also had to deal
with great number Of cases requir-
Ing absolute benevolence This was
especially true in the case Of women
and children who could offer neither
security nor hope OF repayment.
Funds available for this work have,
Mr.. Hoover points out, already been
strained to the utmost. At the same
time the committee is confronted with
a situation which will last throughout
the war and increase In its serious
