HOME CHARITY

When Washington led his army
Amidst the ice and SHOWS;
When they went with empty
stomachS
And their hands and feet got froze;
Did any foreign nation
Ever send them food and clothesY
Not hardly,
When Confederate soldiers gathered
For cause they thought was right;
And though hungry, yes, and ragged
Stood fast in many a fight;
Did any country feed them
Or help them in their tightY
Not hardly,
Now we're sending food to Belgium,
And it's needed there no doubt;
But let the countries feed them
That surround them all about;
For our people right here need it
Shall we let them do Without
Not hardly,
Love your neighbor, He commanded,
He our heavenly fathers son,
Did He mean our nearest neiGhborY
That Is not what we have done.
Should we let our own 90 hungry
Just to feed a foreign oneY
Not hardly

FINAL REPORT OF
THE GRAND JURY
Small Number of Bills Are
Returned By Grand Jury
In Session Last Week.

The Southern District grand jury
adjourned last Friday afternoon,
after five bills of indictment had
been returned. Following is the
final report of that body:
To the Hon. J. B. Baker, Judge of
the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit of
Arkansas:
We, the grand jury at the Febru-
ary, 1915, term for the Southern
District of Sharp county, beg leave
to submit this as our final report:
We have inquired into all viola
tions of law of which we have had
knowledge or received information,
and have returned bills of indict-
ment when we thought advisable.
We have, by committee, eXamin-
ed the paupers of Sharp county and
find them in sanitary condition, but
in need of some bed clothing and
oil cloth. They make no complaint
as to food or treatment.
We have examined the Jail and
find it in very bad condition, and
we recommend that a new Jail be
erected in the northwest corner of
the court yard as soon as possible.
The condition of the court house
is reasonably good.
We have examined the reports
of the justices of the peace of the
several townships aud find that
they have all made their reports
according to law, as far as we can
ascertain.
We find by the report of the
commissioners of accounts that the
following constables are short in
their accounts: P. A. Golf, Big
Creek township; Jasper Mcleod,
Cave; Alex Spurlock, Davidson;
D. S. Madden, Hardy; j. R. Hall,
Jackson.
We find from the report of the
commissioners of accounts that
Jas. M. Simpson, former clerk, has
made settlements as required by
law, and that former sheriff W. w,
Bristow has done the same, but
from the report of the commission
ers we find that former county
treasurer John W. Thompson is
short in his settlements, and rec
ommend that proper steps be taken
to collect any money due by John
W, Thompson and the several con-
stables.
We extend to the court, the Of
ficers of the court and to the prose-
cutting attorney our thanks for the
courtesies shown US in the dis
charge of our duties and the en-.
forcement of the laws, and now ask
that we be discharged.

favorable outcome Of the test case to
be made in a British prize court by
the American steamer Wilhelmina will

land by Germany in which Americans

food for Germany, put into Falmouth
harbor early this week after being buf.

days She intended merely TO repair
her damage, but the British admiralty
seized her cargo and threw the case in.
to a prize court. The Wilhelmina her
self will be released as soon as sbe has
been unloaded.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, presented this warning tc

Germany's Prussian army Is composed
Of recruits, This is the time when
the Germans who volunteered AZ tho

pleted their six months training, An
initial victory such as has been won
will have deep effect on these new
troops, giving them confidence in them.
selves.
At the same time, notice is served
on the Slavs that the new German army
is as good as the old.
Every isolated offensive Of this kind,
followed by inevitable failure, must
have an increasingly demoralizing eff
feet on the caar's troops. II is prob
able that the Russians have lost con-
fidenee in their power to ever gain a
decisive victory over the Germans.
Troops cannot be defeated time and
again, as the Russians nave been, with
out having their belief in the efficiency
Of their commanders seriously affected.
The efficiency Of the Slays is un-
doubtedly less now than six mmths
ago. Germany has good reason to be-
lieve that Prussian soil is safe from any
serious menace by the Russians.
