U. 8. Army Inaugurates New Service.
Balloon Observers in the Theatre
of War to be Given Front Seats.
Word has just been received Of per-
haps the newest and most interesting
branch of the army. This new branch
of the service is for the purpose of
making observations from captive ba-
looms. The most exciting moments
are when these captive balloons are
picked as targets by the enemy aero
plane, at which time the observers,
who always have parachutes firmly
attached to their persons, jump out
of the balloon basket, even though they
are three or four thousand feet from
the ground, and float down to safety
while the friendly airships Immediate
ly arrive and attempt to drive off the
attackers from the unoccupied ba-
loon.
To those who were unable to gain
admission in the Officers training
camps, for one reason or another, this
is your opportunity. The government
wants men of the calibre of officers
for the United States army and they
must be between the ages of Is and
IS years. The lowest rank is first
lieutenant, with pay of $4,000 per year
and SO per cent extra when in active
service.
This is an opportunity for well edu-
Gated men, preferably graduates Of

BUYS VALUABLE LOT.

ing on lower Franklin street to C.
J. Boardway, the deal being consum-
mated on Saturday. The Boardway
family has owned the brick building
next to the w. D. HOyt Company's
large implement warehouse, for many
years, land by the purchase of the Sefst-
rom lot gives them one of the most
valuable business locations in the city.
The lots face Franklin street and are
accessible from the north and east by
alleys. We have not been informed
as to what use Mr.. Boardway will
make Of the property, but have an idea
that before long decided changes will
take place in that sectiin of the city.

OUT OF WATER
Taezevant WaterwOrks Undergo
ing Repairs

Irrelevant is worse than bone
dry" Just about the time the
''bone dry" drouth came on the
town still worse drouth struck
the good little city.
About two weeks ago the well
of the Irrelevant Waterworks Com
pany went to the bad, and upon a
thorough investigation it was found
that q new we'll will have to be put
down. 1t was also found that it
will cost a considerable sum to
place the plant in first class condi-
ton. 1t is being proposed by some
that the town float bonds and take
over the plant and put in better
machinery and a new we'll.
A bill, giving the town power
to issue bonds and take over the
plant, will likely be passed by the
present session of the legislature
and in the meantime the citizens
will determine the best thing to do
in the matter.

SOME MORE SNOW
This Section Hit by Snow Storm
Last Sunday

We had some more snow and
very bad weather the first of this
week. The rain Saturday turned
into snow and heavy snow storm
ragged most all day Sunday The
temperature fell to about ten de-
grees above zero, and following a
warm spell of weather, the sudden
change was keenly felt.
Sunday was a good day to stay
in and look out, and it was only
the faithful few that ventured out
to church and Sunday school.
Some churches called in the Sun
day night service.
The snow covered the earth, an
inch or two in depth, Monday
morning, and the weather was very
cold. The first Monday crowd was
small, and those who did venture
out, were late getting here. The
sun came out, however, and by
Tuesday night most of the snow
had melted away.
We have not kept record, but
the number of SHOWS so far this
winter must be eight or ten. 1t
has been many years since we have
had so many SHOWS and SO much
cold weather.
The waters have also been high,
and for several days it was feared
that the big rivers of the state
would overflow their banks to the
damage Of the lowlands, but the
waters are receding and now the
fear is not so great.

MUST BE FIRM
Nation May be Drawn Into the
Great War

Possibilities that the United
States may be drawn into active
participation in the great war were
voiced Monday by President
Wilson in his second inaugural adj
dress, after discussing the attitude
of the nation in regard to the great
struggle.
we stand firm in armed neu-
trality," he asserted, since it
seems that in no other way we can
demonstrate what it is we insist
upon and cannot forego. We may
be even drawn on, by circum-
stances not by our own purpose or
desire, to more active assertion
of our rights as we see them and
more immediate association with
| the great struggle itself
Previously the president had de-
clared that the administration had
become convinced that It's part
must be one to vindicate and for
tify peace, and that as some of
the injuries done US have become
intolerable, we have still been
clear that we wished nothing that
we we're not ready to demand for
all mankind-fair dealing, justice,
the freedom to live and be at ease
against organized wrong"
The president continuing says:
Nothing will alter our thought
or our purpose. We desire neither
conquest nor advantage. We wish
nothing that can be had only at
the cost of another people. We
have always professed unselfish
purpose and we coyet the oppor-
tunity to prove that our profess
sions are sincere"

Sam Vawter Dead

Sam Vawter, an aged and very
popular citizen of the Twenty-first
district, died last Monday night at
8 o'clock of heart failure, with
other complications. He had been
in bad health for some time. He
was about II years old, a member
of the church and an upright chris
tian gentleman. He was an ex-
confederate soldier and a very use
full man in his community. He
had many friends who regret his
death and sympathize with his be-
reayed family. He is survived by
his widow, four sons, Jim, Am
brose, Oscar and John Vawter,
and one daughter, Mrs. }. l..
WoodaIl. The burial occurred at
the Clark cemetery last Tuesday,
after appropriate burial services.

WORK OF COURT
The February Term Completed
Last Saturday

The most important case tried at
the recent term of the circuit court
was the state against I. Foster and
Bunk Foster, charged with the
killing of Jewell Bell at McLe-
moresville last July Bunk Foster
is the father of 7. Foster, and was
indicted as an accomplice in the
killing The trial resulted in the
acquittal of the elder Foster and
finding I. Foster guilty of murder
in the second degree. Fosters at
torneys asked for a new trial and
the case will be argued here next
Monday morning.
Several parties submitted their
cases for public drunkenness and
for carrying pistols and received
fines, and in some cases workhOuse
sentences, especially in the pistol
cases. But few parties now per-
NIT their cases for public drunk
enness to go to trial, but as rule
they submit and ask the mercy OF
the court.
Gamesters do not fare much
better in the court than public
DRINKS and pistol ''toters."
A number of cases, where the
defendants have left the county,
were retired from the docket, and
quite a few cases were mol pressed,
The case a gainst Banker Gilbert,
charged with murder, was con.
tinued.
The court finished its work by
Saturday evening. The grand jury
found about twenty indictments.
This was a good working jury and
was very cautious about what they
did
