CARD OF THANKS.

We take this method of thanking
those who SO faithfully helped and
those who offered to help us nurse
our husband and father during his
last illness. We hope that if ever
they are confined to the bed of Attic
ton, the Heavenly Father will bless
them with kind hands to minister to
them.
Then we thank those who SO
thoughtfully closed the alley next to
us so that the noise might not cause
him to suffer more. May God bless
them and keep them from pain.
Those who placed such beautiful
flowers on his casket and grave we
would not forget, but earnestly pray
the God of Love to ever cheer and
comfort them. SOC
Sincerely,
Mrs. A. j. Davis and Children

OUR BOYS.

Few were the cheers as our boys went by,
And the lights of the city which had been
high
Seemed to have dimmed like our eyes.
with tears;
Slight was the ~clapping and few the cheers
As the Khaki ranks went down the street,
And the rhythm born Of their marching feet
Seemed to enyelop and be a part
Of us, in tune to our throbbing heart.
Our boys Our babies of yesterday
Behind the Colors they marched away;
Out of the homes of the yesteryear,
Out of the ways of their feet grown dear.
| Out of their childhood and childhood's joys
To the chance of battle-Our boys! Our
boys!
| And we stood by in the crowded street
| And heard the tread of their marching feet.
A smile last night had been out of place
Their heads were high and on every face
Was n light ne'er seen on the sea O risky.
And their tread was firm as they went on by.
And their eyes were straight to the front
and they
Seemed to see the trenches and the otfraS
And other things that were past our ken
God bless and keep them, our fighting men
Our fighting meni Who are in the fight
For homes and freedom and God and right
Who are in the fight that the world may he
Forever safe for Democracy
When our marching boys reach the battle
front
Where our allied comrades have borne thu
brunt.
And up and over the b~reastworks go
Then God be with them and speed thu

THE NEGRO IN MUSIC.

Will Irwin reports from Paris that
the French like our old-fashioned
negro melodies, but find them very
puzzling.
There are several things to be
said to that. One might retort that
Americans feel much the same way
about the compositions of. De Busy,
or thank his national stars that the
French are judging our musical taste
by the old-time darby melodies in
stead of their baseborn offspring,
known as "coon songs" But is it
not significant that a musical people
like the French should pick these
melodies as the most characteristic
American music-cspccially when
we remember hat the great b.
hemian composer, Dvorak, did the
same?
Lafcadio Hearn proved that in a
strict n there are no negro mel
odies. That is to say, there are nc
airs in this country which were i'm
ported directly from Africa. What
are called such are negro adaptions
of old French, Spanish and English
tunes. But this does not alter the
fact that the balck slave gave such
an acceptable version Of these an
cient airs that his masters remem-
bered the adoption, rather than the
original. Whatever the influence OF
the negOr on other matters in Amer
lea, there a be little doubt of his
valuable contribution to American
music.-Chicago Journal.

MOORE MOORE.

The death of this worthy man has
removed from our midst one of our
best and most reliable citizens; un-
selfish, modest, and true to every
principle of justice, he deserv-
ed and received the respect of
all; fearless in the cause of
truth, he was ever found on the
side Of the moral and uplifting forces
that fought for better and higher
things in the every day life of men.
When but a boy he Joined the army
of the Confederacy and made a true
and loyal soldier there, as throughout
his entire life. Moore Moore was
born in Y%alobusha county on January
End, 184S, and the years of his USE
full and unselfsh life were spent in
and near the county of his birth. He
was married in 1873 to Miss Mary

his widow and five children survive

one showing, in the highest degree,
the influence of the home culture and
refinement, the strong character and
vigorous activity, integrity and con-
tinuity OF effort, SO 'eminently shown
in the life of their departed father.
Mr.. Moore was a Christian, with
out ostentation, but by his whole
life, a friend without guile, who new
er lost an opportunity to show his
friendship, a gentleman by nature as
by culture, a man, when tested, flash

PIT
YOUR APPETITE.

An average mar who has seer rs
years of life has eaten an amount of
food equal to some 1900 times his
own weight. One hundred and ten
tons of food he has consumed, of
which the bread alone, if it could
be piled separately, would occupy a
space equal to that of a good sized
building. The vegetables on reap
pearing would fill a train three miles
in length and the bacon when placed
end to end in single slices would
stretch along a line four miles long.
The temperance Of five tons of fish
and one-fifth of a ton of cheese would
surely haunt him. while 10000 eggs
10000 pounds Of sugar and 1,500
pounds of salt would likely put in
their claim. And he has smoked no
less than 100000 cigarettes. Let's
hope he has saved the coupons.
A Detroit man has a plan for elm
mating the restaurant waiter and put
ting in his place something which
doesn't talk, or hold out its two
hands for tips, or spill the soup. His
invention is a dumb waiter in more
than IL sense. The system is said
to embody the luxuries of a select
dining room equipped with conven-
iently arranged tables and comfort
able seating facilities wherein patrons
may dine with ease and privacy, re-
ceiving prompt, efficient and sanitary
service at reasonable prices.
While the system eliminates the
waiter in the dining room it u~tilizes
him as a serving department attend
ant, where his duties are less arduous
and where he is not subject to the
whims and caprices of critical pat
rons. No money is wasted on uni

scurrying of walters.

RUSSIAN DEMOCRACY
STABLE SAYS ROOT
Russians Good Business Men
and Able to Control COun-
try's Destiny

Washington, Aug. s.-A permanent
Russian democracy is certain, Elihu
Root, chairman of the American com
mission to Russia, declared upon his re-
turn here today
"It it as certain as anything in hui
man affairs can be. The only thing
that can possibly stop it would be the
overwhelming of Russia by Germany.
That would not stop, but merely re-
tard it.
"Russia's democratic government
must be built up from the foundation
precisely as our government was built
up, 1t win be done carefully, step by
step. 1t is a great, laborious work. "
The Russian people, he said, are am
ply able to control their own affairs.
They are good business men and good
democrats and great things may be ex-
pected from them.
"The Russian is mighty food
fighting man and Russia will come out
of her troubles all right" said Gem
eral Scott, another member of the mis-
sion.
"America,'' said Charles Edward
Russell, the socialist member of the
party, !" must convince the Russians
that she has no selfish axe to grind in
this war.
''Only this conviction can cement
the bonds between the two nations.
Russell foresees stable democracy
rising soon from the seeming chaos in
Russia. He denied Kerensky is a die
tator and termed him merely leader
of "Russia IS great, intelligent masses
in whom lies her salvation.
Russians Good Fighters.
''They are firmly behind practical
socialist leaders," he said, "and par
ticularly behind the workmen 8, sol
diers and peasants councils"
Russell denounced '"peaee by nego-
tiation' talk in America as ammuni-
tion for opponents of the Russian Of
fensiye in Russia"
Russia IS heart is sound" said Gen
eral Scott. He described the brilliant
advance of Korniloff IS men just before
the recent mutiny broke out in the
Russian army and forced a devastating
retreat.
"There was no sign Of mutiny when
I was with the Russian army there,
ne Salu, 'anu Dy tHo tlHe VIC lol
Vladivostok the Russians had taken Is
miles of Aurtrian trenches, $4,000
prisoners and hundred guns.
"When / first looked over the scene
of battle the day before the offensive
started, there were no signs of the
Forthcoming struggle. Men and women
were working in the fields and it
looked Ike a stretch of quiet country.
But the next morning the big guns
were tearing up the earth, leaving
craters as big as small house, and
then the Russian soldiers went over the
top. Pretty soon the Austrian prison
ers were coming back of the lines
What saw convinced be that the Rus
sian is a mighty good fighter and that
Russia is safe" !"
