Death of Aged Man.

E. D. Garrett, aged 7S years, died
at the county farm Saturday after
noon at 4:45 o'clock. He had suffer-
ed a paralytic stroke the previous
Tuesday and never recovered. The
deceased was brother of Mrs. J. T.
Teal of this city and had made his
home with her for seven years. His
increasing disability made him a
charge which she was unable to
care for, so he was removed to the
county farm last June where he re
mained until his death. The re-
mains were taken to Illinois Sunday
night by Mr.. and Mrs. Teal, there
to be laid by the side of his wife,
who preceded him in death many

STORY OF THE PEo-
PIE IN France
Peace Sunday is Observed at the
Congregational Church-Two
Fine Addresses.

| Sunday was an unusual day a
the Congregational church. Peac
Sunday was observed in the morn
ing when very neat programs print
ed in colors were distributed to tn
audience and responsive peace pray
ers voiced by pastor and people. Ap
propriate music was rendered by tn
chorus choir. The subject of Rev
Metcalf's sermon was "The Grea
Illusion of War" One of these pop
ular illusions is that war is glorious
Poets have sung, artists have paint
ed and books have been written de-
picting the glory of militarism but
Rev. Metcalf said the letter 'sp
should be dropped from the WORD
glory in describing war and then we
would have "gory'-a more fitting
term for war. Another illusion is
that war settles anything. The vic.
tors may dictate the terms of peace
etc., but the diplomats must do the
settling after the war is ended. The
ideas and principles must all be
thrashed out after the cannon's roar
is stilled. Still another illusion is
the notion that any nation or peo-
pie can be conquered. The foe may
be overpowered and lose in armed
conflict, but the principles and
ideals for which the vanquished
fought are never conquered. These
different points were enlarged upon
and illustrated by citations from his
tory.
In the evening, Rev. Metcalf de-
livered the first of a series of lecC-
ures on "The Rising Tide of De-
mocracy in Europe his topic being
"The Story of the People in France" "
The history of that nation from the
time of the French Revolution down
to the establishing of the Republic
of France and the principal strug-
giles of the French people for liber-
ty were briefly passed in review.
France was the first nation to light
the torch of liberty in Europe and
her course has been a thorn in the
flesh of her neighboring kingdoms
and autocracies. Herein lies one of
the underlying causes of the present
great upheaval-the reign of the
common people being a menace to
thrones and principalties in all Eur
ope.
To say that the story was inter-
told would be commonplace.
Aside from being a real thinker and
an able word painter, Rev. Metcalf
brings a ripe scholarship to the dis
cussion of any subject he may have
in hand. That those who follow
these lectures will have a pretty
clear conception of the causes which
and have lead up to the
present great crisis in Europe is
clearly evident from hearing this
initial address in the series.
Large audiences were present
both morning and evening.
