DEVIL WRITES THE KAISER.

De-coded by Eugene II. Blake Of the

Internal Palace. Hades.-My Dear
Kaiser: Don't let the war get on your
nerves so! I notice you seem worried
since the United States came in.
Remember that there are more ways
to win the war than with bullets. The
allied nations used to buy SS,000.O00
bushels Of American wheat. But since
we have forced the European farmer
from the furrow to the trench, Amer
lea must sell her allies 220, 100000
bushels Of grain while they fight us.
/ agree with you that our propa-
ganda has been effective in the United
States Millions Of Americans still be
lieye that YOU did not start this war.
Our Bernstorf was corkera Wilhelm.
Here's a plan. While your linden
burg feeds more faithful Germans to
Haigs cannon, and your Oldest boy
feeds another half million German
boys 10 the French cannon around
Verdun to save his reputation back
home, let us make food-fanking
movement in America.
I'll keep enough lazy Americans
out of the fields to let crops rot
tempt them to buy more than they
need of what is gathered, cook more
than is necessary, and serve as big
portions as they did in times Of peace
/ will make the American housewife
waste food in her kitchen so as to
/ take it out Of the soldiers mouths
| While we destroy American boys in
Europe l will make the United States
/ a nation Of food-slackers.

don't worry.
/ Faithfully your friend and ally,

Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether You are q good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains OF l1mbago, rheumatism and
gout. Tie urine is often cloudy, full
of sedmtnt; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times - night. This is the time you
should consult some physician OF wide
experience--sucha as DR.. Pierce OF the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, n. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
uAnuric.' Write him your symptoms
and send sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DIR. Pierce that
cAnuric is the most powerful agent
in dissolyiug uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being SO many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneraton OF the blood vessels, as
we'll as regulating blood pressure.

CRAB ORCHARD

County Attorney in the coming cleo
ton, his friends here feel that few
remarks about him may not come
amiss. He has lived most all Of his
life in this town and his career is
well known. He has enjoyed twenty
year experience at the bar, is a man
of a wide circle of acquaintance.
He is thoroughly versed in federal,
state and common law. As man he
is kind hearted and generous, a friend
to the poor and defenseless, loyal to
friends, and has never asked an ap-
pointment from the county before.
We feel that if elected, he will do
honor to the position, and in every
way prove himself worthy and effici-
ent for he abhors treachery, injustice
and oppression.
Mrs. Nancy Edmiston, who has
been feeble for many months passed
to her reward Monday morning. She
was almost eighty-two years of age
and all of her long useful life had
been spent here in Crab Orchard.
She was the daughter of the late
Harvey Peasants of this county and
was beloved by old and young. All
her life she was young in spirit, en-
| joyng the flowers, sunshine and all
nature. She raised a splendid family.
all of whom testify to the religion
training and business principles she
instillcd. AS a neighbor she was al
that the word implies. A beautiful
and impressive tribute was paid to her
memory by J. c. McClary and a
large crowd of sorrowing friends fol
lowed the remains to the cemetery
where her remains we're laid beside
her husband. Francis Edmiston. Love
ly flowers covered the grave and sc
she was left, but her good works will
live to testify to her having lived ir
our midst. The deepest sympathy il
extended to the family who were Sc
devoted to her in life.
Mrs. Belle johnson with her daugh
ter and two sons from townsville, Ga.
accompanied the remains of her hus
band here for burial Sunday. Sht
was formerly Miss Belle Miller, ;
sister of the late George Miller o.
1O1 Ranch, Okla. The remains were
buried in the old Fish burial grouno
about three and half miles from
town. Mr.. John Brooks, of Atlanta
who is a nephew of Mrs. johnson al
so came with them. Mrs. johnson
had many old frieds here who woul,
have been glad to have seen her, bu
knew nothing of her being here unit
she had left Sunday night.
Messrs. Montez Fish and job,
Traylor came over from Richmon,
Saturday remaining until Tuesda,

Rev. Pervis will preach Sunda,

Tom Hays Bronaugh has bough
an auto from Walter Smith and j.

Mr.. Robert Thompson is adding {
porch to his property, which is quite

This has been one of the saddest
weeks Crab Orchard has known fol
many long years. The burial of Mr.
Johnson Sunday, the killing of Hop
kins, the burial of Mrs. Edmistor
Tuesday, also a colored burial same
day, are sad events to chronicle and
a feeling of depression seems to have
settled on every one.
