Not Dead, But Sleeping

On March 2, 1915, the angel
of death visited the home of Mr..
and Mrs. John Bolen and claimed
for its vic i'm their sweet little
babe which God had given them
to keep for a short while. Buded
on earth to bloom in heaven. The
Lord had place for another jewel
and he took from this sinful
world this precious babe.
1t seems SO hard to give up our
loved ones, but if we will only
trust the Lord we shall some
sweet day see them again in that
happy home where there will be
no more death, NO more heart
broken mothers and fathers, but
where we shall walk the golden
streets and shall know them as
we are known. God says in H 8
word, Suffer little children to
come unto me-
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. S. V. Gullett and
the remains were laid to rest in
the McNiel cemetery.
Now let me say to the heart
broken parents, your darling Is
dot dead, but sleeping.

in the history of the Shannon
High School that a lady has been
elected principal, but the election
of Miss Bramlitt meets with the
hearty approval of the patrons.
She and Miss Heard are members
of the present faculty and both
have made good. The election
of Misses Higgs. Phillips and
Mrs. DtFord is also heartily ap-
proved. All three are of this
place and are highly qualified for
their positions. Mrs. DeFord is
a B. A. graduate of the |. |. &

ale of B. M. F. College. Miss
Phillips has shown her ability as

assure them of a cash market for
their corn at full market value,

SENATOR BRYAN
IN PENSACOLA
ON SHORT VISIT
Junior Senator From Florida
Comes to City to Call
On His Friends.
IS INTERESTED IN
THE AERO STATION
Hopes to See It Built Up
Rapidly and Employ a
Large Number of Men.

Nathan P. Bryan, United States
senator from Florida, was in Pensa-
cola yesterday, coming over from
Jacksonville to see some of his friends
and supporters. He found Perry Wall
also a candidate for the United States
senate in the city, he having been here
for the past week.
Senator Bryan's visit, while primar-
lily for the purpose of calling on some
of his supporters, also was in connec-
ton with the Pensacola aero station,
in which he is greatly interested, mas
much as the present activity is due
, largely to his work. The senator
hopes to see the station built up UNI
til large force of men is employed.
This was promised by Secretary Dam
ieIs when Senator Bryan, few
months ago, made the trip to Wash
| ington on the request of the Pensacola
| Rotary club.
Plans now are being laid for open
ing the machine shops at the station,
and while a small force of men will
be employed at the beginning, the de-
partment anticipates gradually in
creasing the force until the station
employs as many men or more than
it would were it actively in commits
sion as navy yard instead of an aero
station.
Senator Bryan met with warm
reception during the day from his
large number of supporters. He ex-
poets to remain in the city until to-
night when he will leave for Jack
sonville.

Bulgaria Will
BeOfferedPart
of Macedonia
BY Assoc1Arrp PRESS

Rome, Aug, 20.-The entente pow
ers according to a statement made by
the Sofia correspondent of the Gior-
male dTtalia, have offered to Bulgaria
that part of Macedonia given to her
by the Serbo- Bulgarian treaty of 1912
with the right of immediate occupa-
ton. The controversy over the part
of Macedonia contested by Serbia and
the cause of the second Balkan war
will be settled after the present war
ends.
Proportionate compensation is to
be given to Serbia including the city
of Kavala withthe districts of Kavala
and Sores, with the right Of immed-
late occupation.
Bulgaria on her side renounces fol-
ever pretensions to Saloniki, Vodins
and Uskub. She promises also to de
clare war Immediately on Turkey
aided by funds of the four allies
Bulgaria, the correspondent declares
will receive further territorial con
cessione in Turkey.
1t is believed that Serbia and Greec'
will give way under pressure by tn

on Other Russian Fortresses
Serbia Cedes Territory to
Bulgaria and Latter
Will Enter War.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Aug, 20.-As a result of
the fall of the fortress of Novo Geor-
gievsk, announced by Berlin today, it
is now expected that the other great
Russian fortresses of Grodno, Osow-
etz and Brest-Litovsk will fall. The
Russians fortnight ago left the
Novo Georgievsk garrison to delay the
Germans. The Germans announce
that with it they captured seven hun
bred guns and vast quantity of war
material.
Won Hindenburg is meeting stub
born resistance in his attempt to take
Riga and the whole Warsaw-P etro-
grad railway line. South of Kovno
the Russians are offering desperate
resistance to prevent or delay the en-
velopment of the northern flank of the
Brest-Litovsk line. This seemingly is
in danger, being forced by direct
attack from a vast number of Austro-
Germans. Other German armies have
circumvented the marches and virtual.
ly enveloped Brest-Litovsk itself.
The loss of the trenches along this
line would be regarded as a greater
military misfortune than the loss Of
Warsaw.
On the western front there hav,
been some spurts of liveliness in tn,
fighting, but nothing that could b.
called a battle. The allies on Gallipol
peninsula are continuing their assault

Sunk Without Warning by
Submarine of the Ger

EIGHT AMERICANS
GO DOWN WITH SHIP
Only Course to Pursue is to
Sever Relations With
Germany.
d ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Tension was
increased in official quarters tonight
when consular messages forwarding
afidavits of American survivors of
the British liner Arabic, brought the
definite information that the vessel
was torpedoed without warning and
that American lives were lost. Eight
names now appear on the state de-
parment's list of American passeng-
ers missing. The consulate at Queens
town tonight added four names.
It seemed that but one point re-
meined TO be cleared up, namely;
Whether the Arabic attempted to ram
the submarine or whether the change
Of the liners course IN an attempt to
save the British steamer Dunkeley
sinking nearby, was interpreted BY
the German commander as a hostile
approach.
The attide Of the American gov
eminent, for the moment is receptive
awaiting details and reserving iudg.
ment as to whether the action was
deliberately unfriendly" The fina
decision rests with President Wilson
No official statements were given.
The general trend of comment wa
that the United States has reache,
the point where it must decide wheth
er to sever diplomatic relations witt
Germany. Ambassador Gerard at Der
lin Is expected to ascertain whethe
Germany sanctioned the attack.
Germany offers explanations claim
ing qualifying circumstances, such a
the Arabic's attempt to escape or rar
the submarine, that will be construe
as a disposition to disavow any in
tention to deliberately violate tn
principles for which the United State
contends.
The statement of an American SUI
vivor, officially transmitted, that til
life boats drifted for hours befol
rescued, was regarded as destroyin
the theory that the Arabic was COZ
voyed when sunk. Naval Officer
here secuted the theory that vess

Last Bulwark in Poland of

Official announcement was made here
today of the capture of the important
Russian fortress of Novogeorgievsk,
with more than 10000 men. The
statement follows:
'eThe fortress of Novogeorgievsk,

of the Vistula, Narew and Wl1ra riv

it, they could stop communication OF
the Vistula.
| For nearly two weeks the fortress
had been completely invested by tn
Germans and several of the outlying
forts were captured earlier in tn
week. 1t was strongly defended an
was said to have been equipped wit
sufficient ammunition and food sup
