MRS. M.J. HD[|NC
DIED At HER HOME
HERE ON SATURDAY
AGED AND BELOVED WOMAN
PASSES AWAY.

In the death of Mrs. Martha Jane
Huling, which occurred Saturday
morning at her residence on Church
street, one of the oldest and best be-
loved women of Americas has passed
to brighter and better sphere The
death of this venerable woman was
quite sudden, and followed briel i'll
ness with pneumonia which seized up
on her the day previous. The end
came peacefully, as with smile she
answered the Masters call.
The daughter of consecrated min
lister and whose life, like his, had
been one of love, of gentleness and
Christian charity to all, she laid down
the cross for the crown and has en-
tered upon a bright reward.
Mrs Huling was in her eightieth
year, and the larger portion of her
long and useful career was passed
| here in Americas. Among all she was
loved and revered for her goodness,
gentleness and benevolence. Until
the weight of years and physical in
firmities prevented her active partic-
ipation in benevolent work, she had
carried sunshine into many darkened
homes.
| The deceased was the daughter of
Rev. Samuel Anthony, pioneer in
the ministry of southern Georgia and
one of the strongest and ablest men
of his day. She was born in Talbo$ton,
Ga, in 1886, coming in early life to
Americas, where she has since re
sided.
Bisides her only daughter, Mrs.
Hurting is survived by a brother, DIR.
Wesley Anthony of Wichita Falls, Tex
as, and a sister, Mrs. S. E. Buchanan,
of Dallas. Her grandchildren are
Mrs. O. A. Armstrong, Mrs E. B,
Council, Mrs. R. G. Christian, Mrs.
Robert Vibbert and Miss Sarah Tower.
| Funeral services from the residence
will be conducted this morning at 10

of the star, and sees only the creature

MERICUS BANK
PURCHASED ALL
WEBSTER BONDS
ISSUE OF $4,000 FOR NEW COURT
HOUSE WAS TAKEN HERE.

The Bank of Commerce, of Ameri-
Gus, was the successful bidder for the
issue of$15,000 of bonds for the bul d .
ing of a modern courthouse in Preston,
Webster county, having won out over
dozen other bidders for these gilt
edge securities. The several bids were
opened a day or two ago, and that Of
the Americas bank being the best OF
the dozen submitted, the entire issue
of $4,000 was taken over by the Bank
of Commerce.
The sale was considered an excel
lent one, as the bonds brought a price
well above par. The bonds bear IN
terest at the rate of six per cent, and
extend over a period of twenty years.
The amount thus realized, together
with the insurance carried upon thu
building destroyed by fire several
months ago, insures to Webster q
handsome brick courthouse building,
of which the people of that county will
be proud. Plans for the new struc-
ture have been prepared, and it is be-
lieved that the new building should be
completed in the early summer, per-
haps in time for the next session of
court to be held therein.
This is the first issue of bonds ever
voted in Webster county, and the re-
suit is quite gratifying. The vote for
bonds in the election held some time
ago, was we'll nigh unanimous.

TWO YEARS Of WAR
EDISON'S PREDICTION

WEST ORANGE, N. j., Jan. T.
The year 1914 dealt staggering blow
to civilization, the arts and the sci
ences," said Thomas A. Edison at his
laboratory to news gatherer. but
civilization will recover from the blow
very soon after the war ends"
And that will be-" asked the news
gatherer.
mot for two years, fear" said
the great inventor. This war has
taught the world that the killing Of
men in war is a scientific proposition
now. With all the implements of de-
struction and plans fore offensive ana
defensive operations so carefully map
ped out and with the great Lumber of
men that can be drawn into the fray
by both sides, the conflict will be
long drawn out.
There have been wars that have
lasted thirty years, but those days are
past. Killing men is a different prop
osition today, but l believe the pres
ent struggle will not end for at least
two years, although I pray it will
end sooner than any of US expect"
Mr. Edison added that the submal
rine has been the greatest offensive
instrument in the world conflict, and
said:
while the submarine has not OBJ
waited the necessity of the dread
naught, it surely has lessened its
value. But you can bet the ships
England is constructing now are so
built that they will be protected
against submarine. torpedoes. The eff
feet of primary explosion can be
greatly minimized by the interior
construction of a dreadnaught, and
this, in all likelihood, is being done by
the allies now"

THAT COUNTY UNIT BILL


1t was the writer's privilege to at

vention at Shoshone Tuesday. Sew
eral prominent educators were pres
ent and gave interesting and instruct
i've talks, which judging by the ear
nest attentive faces of teachers pres
ent will be reflected in better work
on the part of the teachers and con-
sequently better progress on the part
of the pupils.
1t seemed that the greatest inter
est however conferred on the discus
sion of the proposed County Unit
Bill which Prof. Sisson and a COM
mittee chosen by him is endeavoring
to railroad through the legislature
This professor is the chief execu-
tive of the state board OF education

year for endeavoring in his spare CD
time to put over the taxpayers OF the

bill met with the rebuke and censure
it deserved at the hands of this con-
vention. A practically unanimous
vote was taken that Professor Mills
and two assistants chosen by him pre-
pare resolutions condemning the bill
and asking that our representative
and senator do all in their power to
prevent this from becoming a law.
In our opinion, however. we think
this is insufficient. We think every
taxpayer should personally write our
representative and state senator to
do all in their power TO prevent the
passage of this bill. A few OF the
reasons for our stand are as follows:
list. 1t is a step backward in that
it takes the power from the citizens
and puts it in the hands of few.
End. 1t is so loosely framed and
disjointed that 1t is capable OF many
interpretations.
3rd. The power vested in this COM
mittee of five is absolute-the COM
mon citizen has no recourse from
any of its decisions.
4th. The application of such a law
would be extremely expensive and
its benefits only problematical.
5th. The opportunities for graft
in case of INSCRIPTIONS men getting
on this board are unlimited as no
check on their expenditures OF money
is provided.
If anyone questions any OF the
above reasons, careful perusal Of
the bill will speedily convince him
OF their correctness.
