EVANSVILLE. Ind. Nov. 25.-The
mother who made the first great sac

laid aside her mourning.

son, James Bethel Gresham, fell at Ar.

example OF patriotism to her fellow.

ing the conflict. She will wear Grape
only on her heart, for black robe and
veil, she says, Ill becomes the mother
Of q hero.
Eve can't have nation In black:
Is the way she puts 1t.
At the memorial Evansville held In
the Coliseum for her son, Mrs. Dodd
stood, the central figure in group OF
khaki.clad boys from training camp,
who will some day take their places in
the trench where her boy fell. Her
quivering lips and tear.dimmed eyes
we're hidden behind a veil. But when
she heard the voice of q multitude
raised In praise Of James, when she
read the tribute OF America and
France; when she caught the spirit,
and the meaning, and the bigness OF 1t
all. she said:
Surely it is not for us to mourn."
And that is the last time she wore
black.
.My boy didn't like for me to wear
sombre clothing" she said. HE didn't
like for me to look sad. And every
mothers soldier feels the same.
women whose hearts are aching
cling to mourning. But in this case 1t
isn't fitting. We must be no less brave
than our sons. or brothers or husbands.
Cur chins must be as firm as theirs.
For the sake OF the boys who fall
IN France and the women left behind
in America, am taking off the crape!".

Talladega Citizens Want
 to Vote Tick Eradication

Sylacauga. January S-(Specal.)- .)-The Talladega Live Stock association, which has charge of the campaign for the eradi- cation of the cattle tick in the county, held meeting at the courthouse Monday and a number of petitions were presented which carried about 25 per cent of the voters of the county. The probate judge will be asked that an election be called and also the members who have charge of the campaign will ask the commission CTS of the county to build about 25 more vats in order to accommodate the people should the proposed election carry.
 A number of complaints are coming to town about the condition of roads in the lower end of Talladega and the upper end of Coosa counties. In many places they are almost impossible to travel over because of the continued rain.
 A movement is on foot in the city to pave Broad street from First street to the Union depot A meeting of the cit izens has been called to discuss the mat ter with the mayor and aldermen and definite plans arranged to begin work as soon as arrangements can be completed.
 The old Lanning homestead lots have been bought by the city and will be used in erecting a modern school building In the very near future arrangements will be completed for an issue of bonds to take care of the expense and it is planned to have the building ready for occupancy for the opening of the public school this fall.
