TUESDAYS BIG DRIVE

In the whirlwind campaign from 10
to IL Tuesday, the Liberty nd SUBJ
scriptions were materially added to
and the total brought up to about
$3.50, GOO in Christian county. This is
$50, 600 short of the amount asked
for. The soliciting was continued
yesterday, but not with the desired
success. Many Of those most able to
subscribe are the hardest to arouse.
The various committees met Tues
day night and reported the progress
made. During the drive business
houses generally closed, even the
banks. The Lincoln Chautauqua peo-
pie helped theoretically. Mrs. Char
tiers, the lady advanceagent, who has
been here for several days, took SUBJ
scriptons for 81, 500 worth. Messrs.
Beatty and Gass, two of the young
men, volunteered and worked hard,

Many women were liberal subscrib-

working among their own people

DR.. WALTERS
TO RETIRE
As Pastor Of The Ninth Street
Christian Church.

1t is with deep regret that the peo-
pie of Hopkinsville will receive the
news that Rev. F. F. Walters will
leave our midst. AT meeting of the
official board held Monday night, Mr..
Walters ssked leave to withdraw from
the pastorate of the Ninth Street
Christian church.
Mrs. Walters is the only child of
her parents and her father, who is 80
years old, has recently undergone
several severe operations for facial
cancer. His critical condition made
it necessary for Mrs. Walters to be
near him. Mr.. Walters some time
ago presented the matter before the
Elders, requesting their permission to
close with June. \
Mr.. Walters said: II do not come
before you with a cold, formal resig'
nation. AS brother who loves you
and this church dearly, / ask to be re.
lieved from the local church work.
Any good minister can lead you breth-
rem forward into larger success. You
have given me loyal and continuous
support. l have never known the
feeling and spirit to be better through
out church than how prevails"
The church will accept his with.
drawal.

The Government sale of Liberty
Bonds ends tomorrow morning, June
fifteenth. Germany and Austria are
reporting the Loan a failure. We
have received a telegram from W. R.
! Compton, Chairman of the Central
Committee of the Liberty Loan Or
ganization, St.Louis, indicating that
the desired goal of eighty-four mill
ion dollars for the Eighth Federal
Reserve District, in whioh our county
is located, is short of the mark.
We are rich as compared to some
other sections of the country and il
we fail the chances are strong for an
average failure throughout America.
What shall we do? We appeal to
you, readers of the Kentuckian-
Shall our enemies say we are not be-
hind our Government Shall we dis
courage our Government and our be-
loved sons who are ready and willing
to sacrifice their livesIfor the protec-
ton of our homes2 Shall we protect
them with food, clothing, arms and
munitions of war? Shall we build
ships to carry them supplies, the
products of our farms and factories,
or are we to sit idly by and say we
are not willing to even make an in
yestment in Government bond that
they may live, that our homes may be
protected? Will you people of Chris
tan county pay for your share OF this
war solely by tax ON your income,
for the Government must and will
have the money in same manner, or
will you buy a Liberty Bond-the
safest security on earth-and aid in
financing our nation in this manner?
Viii you run the risk of a foreign in
vader extracting a war indemnity
faqual to half the value of your prop
erty, your farm, your city home, re-
ducing many to abiect poverty be-
cause you are not willing now to buy
a Liberty Bond?
Awaken, people Of Christian coun-
ty! Your Country calls for your
financial aid. Remember subscrip-
tons must be on file not later than
Friday morning, June fifteenth.

FerrelI's Boys Show Their
Patriotism In Substantial
Way.

The organization of Ferrell's Boys,
pupils of Ferrell's High School from
1873 to 1903, had left over from the
Reunion of last year a balance Of
something less than $500, which has
been invested in Liberty Bonds. A
few of the local members agreed to
supply enough to make up the
amount lacking to get two bonds.
II has been decided by the Execu-
tive Committee not to have the annual
reunion August 10 and IL. Notices
will shortly be sent out 10 this effect.
Col. Logan Feland, Lieut.. l. B.
Flack, E. L. Cary, Of the u. S. Navy,
and Others are in the service and
many have sons who are soldiers or
sailors. 1t has been thought best TO
buy bonds with the money that would
be needed to hold reunion this year.
Among the Boys who have sons in
the army is Jacob H. Coin, of Law
renee, Kan. Chiles M. Terrell, of
Richmond, Va, has a son who is an
officer in the navy. Two sons OF
Prof. F. T. Glasgow have entered the
service. Probably hundred or
more young men, sons Of the older
Boys, are registered for service.
Scores Of the Boys have invested
n Liberty Bonds.
