HEARING POSTPONED

Announcement was made by the Ala bama public service commission Monday that the petition of the Ensley Southern railway for permission to discontinue that portion of it's track running to Maxine which is west of the eastern bank of Locust fork of the Warrior river had been postponed until the May term at the request of the railroad. The company is still hopeful of obtaining reconsid- eration of the war departments order requiring the construction of a draw bridge. It claims it's business will not warrant the expenditure of the amount necessary for the construction work and would prefer to abandon the track. Coal companies on the line are opposing the petition.

A mother more gentle no one evel

Our tears start afresh in remembrance

She is gone, but not forgotten, nevel
shall her memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts shall ever lingo

WHY REJECTED

Why so many men are rejected for
military service is partially explained
by the weekly report of recruiting of
ficer Sergeant G. C. Wright, compiled
after the recent drive for recruits in
the United States Marine Corps.
Out of 1872 applications for enlist
ment during the week only "a were
accepted. Others were rejected for
the following causes, under age 81;
underweight 30; defective vision 26:
defective hearing 4; fiat feet 16. Six
ty-one others were rejected as "unde-
sirable" through failure to meet the
exacting mental, moral and physical
requirements.
The standard of the Soldiers of the
Sea" is very high, though certain
notifications may be put into effect
later, should it be necessary to follow
the precedent of the countries that
have been draining their man power
for three years. Sergeant Wright says
that at present IL per cent. is about
the average of acceptances through
out the country.

MRS c. w. JACKSON

Jane McCutchen Jackson, daughter
of James and Jane McCutchen, was
born July %, 1S41 in Stark County,
Ohio.
Was united in marriage to Charles
w. Jackson of Spencer, Medina Coun-
ty, Ohio, at Tiffin, Ohio, Sept. %, 1869,
To this union five children were born,
Jennie M. Wales, of Toledo, o., Sc
milda A. Allion, Willis, Mich; VIM.
Chas. Jackson, Toledo and Catherine
L. Jackson of Swanton. Mrs. Mary
]. Joy preceded her mother from her
late residence Toledo, Jan. 18th, 1916.
Six grandchildren, Carl, Ralph, Will
liam. and Harold JOY, George VIM. AL
bion and William Arthur jackson and
two sisters, Mrs. Catharine Springer,
Jeromeville, Ohio, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Buckmaster, Wauseon and one bro
ther James McCutchen of Wauseon,
Ohio, are left in their sorrow, on ac-
count of the going away of their dear
one never to return.
She lived in Medina and Ashland
county two years then moved to Wau-
seon in 1871, and to Swanton 1901.
In July 1859 she was converted and
a little later joined the Methodist Epis
copal church and for these many years
from that date until she went to her
place in the church triumphant be-
yond, she lived a faithful consistent
patient Christian.
She was home body, yet interest
ed in public questions, especially in
regard to national affairs. Her de-
lightful "reminiscences about the early
\ days of her christian experience and
her testimony of present day glory
and the real presence and help of Jes-
us did not grow tIresome. 1t was her
delight to talk of Jesus and his glory.
Again and again she praised him for
his grace and love. To every one she
had a cheerful word about salvation.
In March 1914 she became afflicted
and for the remainder of her earthly
life, she was a sufferer, yet patient
and hopeful. For we'll she knew if she
did not find relief here she would have
it in the beyond.
During the past winter she had not
suffered so keenly but on May 22nd,
last illness came upon her and she
quietly departed at $500 p. m. June
16, 1917.
To her husband, children, grandchil-
dren, sisters and brother, relatives and
friends we offer our sympathy.
