ST. ,PATRICK'S ENTERTAINMENT
Pleased a Large Audience at the Arm
DRY Last Saturday Evening.

DRY Last Saturday Evening.
The St. Patrick's entertainment at
the Armory Saturday evening for the
benefit Of the library fund was de-
cided success. The attendance was
more than gratifying to those in
charge Of the affair, considering the
drifted roads, and the entertainment
simply delighted those present. Ev-
erybody~ was satisfied. There were
about 800 paid admissions, and the to-
tai receipts amounted to $5O.15.
A selection by the high school or
chestra was the opening number, and
Ia vocal solo-"There's Only One Ire
land"-by Mr.. H. A. Garrison was
next. Mr.. Garrison has an exception
ally pleasing tenor voice, and the
audience insisted upon an encore.
A flag drill and song by "a little
girls from the Whittier school was
another hit Of the evening. Eight of
the girls were dressed In red, eight in
white and eight in blue, and the pat
riotic colors blended most beautifully
as the various steps Of the drill were
executed. A song was also part Of
this number.
The audience expressed it's approx
al of the vaudeville number, which fol-
lowed, by vigorous applause. A dis
consulate son of the ould sod occupied
the center Of the state, and those who
looked close noted that he bore a
marked resemblance to Vim Davis.
While he was lamenting the fact that
he was not back in the land Of sham
rocks, four charming maidens Misses
Eleanor Kaliher, Dolly Branchaud,
Anneta Davis and Erma Sleeves APP
peared on the stage, singing a song.
In response to a request from the
downhearted son Of Erin, the quar-
tet sang, "Where the River Shannon
Flows" This appeared to have a
soothing effect on the disconsolate
one, who audaciously insisted on a
dance. Miss Sleeves gave an Irish
clog, while the others kept time, clap
ping their hands. Each participant

What Do You Think About It.

AS you read of the shame and
crime and brutality, as you try to
comprehend the destruction Of human
life in the European war, have you
not felt that the world is surely grow
ing worse. Next Sunday evening, DR..
Peatfeld will preach on this topic.
(See the church notices.) Instead Of
devoting the whole Sabbath to this
subject as announced last Sunday, it
will be condensed into one address for
the evening service. Everybody come.

BETTER SCHOOL. S.
Will be Discussed at the Second Pro-
gram to be Given by School
and Home Association.
All Forward Looking Citizens Should
Attend Meeting at High School u.
Next Tuesday Evening.
(Conmunicated)

(Communicated)
The second program to be given by
the School and Home association will
be presented at the high school We'd
nesday evening, March %, at o'clock.
These meetings should be attended
by every man and every woman in
Princeton who is interested in the
public schools and in the welfare Of
Princeton. Nothing else in a commu-
nifty so clearly indicates the character
of it's people as does their attitude
toward their schools. The surest
sign of a backward community is a
neglected school system. Nothing
else so clearly indicates the progress
sive man, the desirable citizen, the
man who is working for the common
people, as does the fact that he is a
booster for the public schools. Such
a man is a splendid asset to any COM
munity. He realizes that the poor
mans children are as much entitled to
an education as are the children of
the rich. He realizes that the i'm
provement Of society depends upon the
education Of it's members. He knows
that the productiveness Of a people de-
ponds on their intelligence, education
and skill. Proper training of the
young means more than anything else
to the man or woman that is truly in
terested in his fellow men.
The Princeton schools should be so
housed and so organized as to- meet
the needs Of all our children, and to be
good enough for all classes.
At present our schools have no man
ual training, no domestic science and
no agriculture, some of which subjects
are offered by nearly every high school
in Minnesota and have been for the
past five to twenty years.
Attend the School and Home asso-
citation meeting next Wednesday even
ing and boost for larger Princeton
and a more up-to-date system OF
schools. Go to the meeting and take
someone with you. -.

LIFT YOUR cORNS

Tells How To Loosen A Tender Corn
Or Callus SO it Lifts Out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
Piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
A small bottle of freeAOne will cost
very little at any of the drug stores,
but will positively rid ones feet of
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. If your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can get it at any wholesale

COL. ALLEN BROWN
GALLANT SOLDIER Of
SOUTH IS DEAD
ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT
CITIZENS OF COUNTY GOES
TO REWARD.
ACTIVE IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Long President Of Fair Assoc iation
And Was Characterized for his Gen.
crosby and Public Spirit and His
UnfaIing Courtesy.

Col. H. Allen Brown, one of the most
popular and best known citizens who
has ever resided in Maury county,
died this morning at 1890 o'clock at
Richmond, Va, where he had been for
some time for the benefit of his
health. Col. Brown had been in very
serious i'll health for several years and
his death was not unexpected. He
would soon have been eighty years of
age.
The remains will be taken to his old
family home in North Carolina, where
they will be inferred. He is survived
by four sons, II. T., J. H., Gordon and
John Brown
Col. Brown served four years in the
Confederate army, rising to the rank
Of colonel and was one of the bravest
and most popular officers in the army.
He performed with courage and fidel.
ity every duty that was imposed upon
him. He moved to this county shortly
after the war and occupied the hand
some country home in Riverside.
Col. Brown was one of the most lib
eral and public-spirited citizens of the
county and for many years was pres
ident and one Of the chief stockhold-
ers of the Maury County Fair Associa-
ion. He was generous in everything
and the very soul of honor. He held
his friends by hoops of steel and was
universally esteemed for his probity
He was absolutely fearless and truth
full.
He was a member of the Episcopal
church, was prominent in every public
movement and was known to thou
sands Of people over the state who Wis
tied Columbia in the palmy days of
its county fair. There will be genuine
sorrow over the news of the passing
Of Col. Brown. His courtesy, his
knightly bearing, and his unfaling
kindness marked him anywhere.

sued by Judge Erwin, city recorder,
upon the complaint of Deputy Marshal

1t is altogether probable that this
will not be the last arrest that will be
made in Middle Tennessee for alleged
violation of the sedition act of con.
sress, which is very stringent law
and requires that no citizens of this
country shall give expression to any
iisloyal opinions, or by word or act
give aid or encouragement to any enc

While the vast majority of the PEG,
