Charles Knox Polk.

I
Died-At his home, Marble Greek,
Iron County, No., Friday, April 23d,
1915, at 2;35 o'clock A. NJ, Charles
Knox Polk, aged 70 years, 6 months
and 7 days. Funeral from Liberty
Church, Sunday, 25th.
Deceased was born in Madison
county in 1889, long before the form
alton of Iron county, and with the
exception of eight years, was a life
long resident of Missouri. -Four of
those eight years he spent in the
Confederate service; two in Arkansas,
and two in California. He was thrice
married: first, to Miss Ellen Christ of
this county, who died before the war;
next to Mrs. Rhoda Emerson, in
Arkansas, 1854; and, after her demise,
to Miss Harriet J. Sharp, of Madison
county, in 1877, who survives him.
To these unions were born eight
children, even of whom survive: @.
H. Polk, Mrs. Hattie Boatner, Mrs.
Euseba Yount, Annie Polk, Mrs. Lula
Thomas, Thos. B. and Laura Polk. The
eighth, John W. Polk, was killed ten
years ago while in the discharge of his
duty as sheriff of this county.
Chas. K. Polk was a man respected
and loved by all who came to know
his sterling worth and unquestioned
integrity. He met the requirements
of duty as a citizen, soldier and
Christian, and reared a family which
reflects the virtues of the father. His
passing adds another to the long and
too rapidly growing list of the old
time friends now "gone BEFORE"
whose places are taken by a generation
unknown to the earlier days we older
folk hold in longing memory. Bright
with springing life and bouyant hope
they were, and the end afar! But
now the walls are at hand, and right
soon we shall all know the secrets
hidden beyond, as they stand reveal
ed to him. May the greeting, "Well
done, good and faithful servant" be
as deserved to US as to Chas. K. Polk.
To the members of the family
M mourning the loss of husband and
father, the community, as we'll as my
self, extend coincidence, and trust
their grief may be assuaged in the
contemplation of the good he did
while here, the fruits of which do not
die with him.

l was at Piedmont Friday and was
sorry to hear of the illness of my
friend Massey Ruble. He was in st.

He has a growth in his head which
seems to puzzle the best physicians
in the city. He has been examined
by five Specialists and they don't
seem to understand his trouble. He
suffers intensity and n eye is af-
fected. He has to wear a bandage
over the eye to protect it. He may
undergo an operation this week. We
hope it may be successful and that he
may be able to return home soon
He has many friends here who, with
me, wish for his speedy recovery.

Rome, May 17.-Via Paris, May IS. The Giornale DItalia, which has been strong supporter of the Sa- landra cabinet, and was among the first to advocate military prepara- tions, publishes significant article today
 War" says the paper, lis virtually declared by concord of the king, the government and the nation The w0n- derful secret dream which for half a century has strengthened Italy in its long wait is about to be transferred into radiant reality.
 Italy is about to engage not only in war to liberate the remainder of the Italian provinces under foreign rule, but in a war for civilization"
 The Gironale DItalia urges a union of all parties and the cessation Of all conflicting passions.
 When war broke out" it adds, Berlin and Vienna were the scenes of savage attempts against the diplo- matic representatives and the subjects of the countries against which Ger many and Austria had declared war. These were considered the deplorab a eXcesses of hysterical minority ln- stead, they were the first manifesta- tions of methods which later develop. ed into most atrocious war through. out Belgium and France and on { 0 seas

of aldermen Their bands sauted each battleship with the playing of the Star Spangled Banner" which the battleships' bands returned.
 President Wilson kept up a constant stream of questions to those about him. He asked about the armamen, and crew of each ship and often eX- ressed his pleasure.
 The frequent playing of the national anthem kept the presidents head barred during most of the review. De- spite the mist. he refused to keep his hat on.
 I have too much respect for the fleet and the anthem,' he remarked
 A miniature boat called the "Suf- frage,' hanging on the Michigan which appeared in a water carnival tonight, attracted the presidents at tention, but he only smiled.
 The president remained aboard the yacht after she had again anchored and at 73O o'clock was taken in a navy launch to the flagship Wyoming where he was a diner guest of All miral Fletcher and officers of the fleet
 The days program ended with a race under the glare of searchlights among the battlesnip's boat crews and the water rageant, consisting of a pa rade of ships lunches humorously or historically decorated
 Tomorrow the ships swing out to sea for a naval war game along the Atlantic coast The president will again review them from the deck of the Mayflower as they steam down the harbOr.
 The president had planned to de- liver an address at the dinner, but changed his mind The function was attended by Secretary Daniels, Secre- tary Lane, Secretary Redfield, Acting Mayor McAneny and the ranking of- ficers of the fleet. There were no speeches but the health of the pTesi. dent was drunk by those present standing
 The president concludad q his long day by watching the boat races from the deck of the Wyoming and a joy ful celebration among the Wyoming crew when that battleship won the race. He stood smiling on the bridge as the bueiackets, headed by their band and cheering Justify, paraded around the deck. Soon afterward the president returned to the Mayf,oweT for the night He planned to return to Washington on her after the review tomorrow.
 Mrs, Daniels, wife of the secretary. gave a dinner tonight aboard the Dol phin, which was attended by Miss Margaret Wilson, Mrs. D. F. Hous- ton and other members of the presi- dents cabinet.
