Miss MIRACLE Passes, iwuy.

Miss Caroline Myracle, aged 76
years, died last Monday at the home
Of her niece, Mrs. Tom Joyner, 1h
miles west of Wildersville, with
whom she had been making her
home for several years.
She was born near Parker's Cross
Roads, in Henderson county, about
1910. She was the daughter of old
Uncle Abe Myracle. She was never
married. She lived with her broth
er, John, until her niece, Miss Babe
Myracle, was married to Tom JOY
ner some eight or ten years ago,and
she made that her home until last
Monday, when she was called away
beyond the skies.
Hers was a beautiful character,
an over-fowing and happy DISPOSE
ton, with ardent love for family /,
friends and humanity in genaral.
She was universally esteemed be
cause she put something into life
which found expression in her sun
ny temperament, her diligent at
tention to duty and her high regard
for the obligations Of life. These
are the things which enriched her
life on earth and embellishes her
memory since she has gone.
1t Is these lessons that should be
learned from 76 years sojourn on
earth.
Names that time long after those
who bore them are dead, are not
those chiseled in marble or granite,
but those that have been exalted
because they have proven their
right to immortality by the display
Of undying virtues.
She was laid to rest Tuesday at
2 o'clock in the Jones cemetery,
near Parker's Cross Roads.
She professed faith through the

We 40 not. agree with an article
in the Nashville Banner of last Sat-
urday relative to the use of trading
stamps, given by various kinds Of
business houses, to be redeemed in
premiums. Our observation has
been that the trading stamps are
given by houses that are just a lit
lie more entcrprising and simply to
increase tl1e volume Of business, the
lfouses usipfythe stamps selling in
most aes III prices identical with
the pti0 offered by the houses
which do not use the stamps, and
in some Instances the increased vol.
ume Of business justifies the trad
Inc stamp user to cut the price a
little. Very few business firms
have conscientious scruples against
the i've Of the trading stamp, but it
Is not uncommon to find a firm too
cIose.tlsted 10 pay for any business
6ftldg srhenie orsdoE any kind Of
advertising. However, it is said to
be d fact. in the opinion Of the SUI
preme court Of the United States
that the states have the right to tax
trading stamps which are redeem
oble III premiums, which has al
srgady been done in the States Of
Florida and Washington, and in the
latter the tax is prohibitive. The
most-peeded protection Is against ly-
ing advertising such as this; Brand
new Spring suits worth $4,000 now
offered at $500 in our house"
When YOU see such an advertise
ment, except under extraordinary
ronditions, you can bet the last but
ton Oh your coat that the suit re-
fetred to never was worth $500.
TaSis Isl nothin, dish onest in the
trsaing stamp, but many Of the

What the War Is Costing.
The war Is now costing in direct
governmental expenditure $110,O
On a day; 81. $50, 900 an hour; $4,000
a minute: and 81 30 a second.

The end of the second year Of the
great war finds the Germans in posses
sion Of more of Europe than they held
on August 1, 1915, the first anniversary
of the start Of the great conflict.
This Is practically the only respect
in which the situation is more favor
able to them. Russia, her vast man
power at last organized and furnished
with implements Of destruction in
plenty, is battering the Teuton lines
on the east and has already won back
1900 square miles. Great Britain
boasts FIVE million men in her army
ever. Italy is increasing her formt-
dableness.
Austria appears to be losing heart
and efficiency. Bulgaria refuses to
send re-enforcements to the west or
Russian fronts. Turkey shows slight
offensive power.
The British navy, following the
much-disputed naval battle Of Jutland,
still shuts off Germany from use Of
the seas. One German merchant sub
marine has reached America, but the
supplies which can be carried over
TO the besieged nations In U-bOats will
De OF little account.
Germany and Austria both feel the
pinch Of hunger. Their armies are
sufficiently fed, but their Industrial
workers complain Of lack of nOurish-
ment. The present harvest is watched
With anxiety, and If it fails or is only
OF fair size, famine will stalk into the
situation next spring, or earlier.
