The town of Tallulah has taken
on a new dignity by the coming OF
the soldiers boys for a vacation Of
two weeks. Among those to ar
rive are Lieut.. E. L. Watson, Lieu /.
Mason Spencer, Lieut.. Julian Mo-
nette, Liuet. Henry Sewer, and
others whose names have not been
learned. Our soldier boys look fine
and quite military in their soldier
suits. We hope the banner of peace
may be unfurled before they are
called to the front.

CLARA PAULINE letVES

On the afternoon of last Saturday
at the home of DR.. and Mrs. Il.
w. Gaines assembled many friends
to pay a tribute of sympathy to
them in the sorrow that had visited
their home in the death of their
grandchild, Clara Pauline. the little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. K. {.
Leeves.
For days anxious watchers at the
bedside of the little sufferer had
battled with hope and fear-hope
that the precious life of the little
one might be spared; and fear that
tender nursing, combined with the
skill of physicians, would not be able
to avert the blow which threatened
to bring sorrow to the home where
little Pauline had brought brightness
and sunshine. For five brief years
the little girl had given joy and
pleasure to those to whom she was
so dear. Then when Death. the fell
messenger, grew victorious IN the
fray, there was regret in the minds
of many friends. and the intensity
of grief was felt in the hearts OF
those near and devoted ones by whom
| little Pauline was beloved.
The touching funeral service was
conducted by the Rev. D. c. Barr
after which a procession of friends
slowly wendell it's way to the Silver
Cross Cemetery where the remains
n it's bed of flowers was tenderly
laid to rest.
This little child with smiles so true
Pure as the lily white,
! Pure as sweet violets bathed in dew
| Where Heaven has always breath
ed and smiled.
Pauline has gone from earth ava.
To blissful mansions far above
Her soul has risen to Lies day
| And all her songs are Love!

CONSERVATION OF LIVE STOCK

The President of the United States
has issued very urgent appeal to
the Nation to conserve tina Live Stock
as we will need all we have and more. !
The President has earnestly en-
deavored to acquaint the public with
the serious situation that confronts
the nation today through various
mediums and inasmuch as the Rail
road of this Country have pledged
their fullest cooperation with the
Government in reducing Economic
waste in every way possible, We feel
that it is our Patriotic duty, as well
asyours, to exert every energy with
in our power to further the plans of
the Government with the end in view
of winning the war as quickly as pos
sible-is it has been forcibly impress
sed upon every one that the powers
that have the food is the one to win
the war. Is it not an individual duty
as Americans to assist in producing
and conserving that food?
One of the greatest wastes of this
country today is the killing of stock
H., ro;Iroad traipS
Do you know that the value of live
stock killed annually. by railroad
trains approximates many millions
of dollars?
Do you know that the thousands
of horses and mules that are killed
every year would fill the artillery
requirements of many regiments!
Do you know that the thousands
) of cattle, hogs and sheep that are
killed every year would provide meat
for thousands of our soldiers in
France?
Do you know thrt when you pre-
vent the loss of even one animal you
+; serve your country periodically and
; effectually?
Doyou know that during the year
ending June 1917 one railroad alone
killed 1916 head of live stock,
majority of which could have beer
averted had owners not permitted
. stock to run at large?
The value of these animals VIZ
:, approximately over quarter OF
million dollars!
! What is the remedy for this ma
tional evil? We suggest the following
y Owners of stock outside OF cor
o porate limits of cities, towns, an
2 villages keeping their animals

70 their stock to roam at large on raj
