MRS. MAGNESS HOME
ROBBED AND BURNED
Money Stolen and Residence Buried
While Mrs. Magness Was at
Picnic Saturday night

Mrs. Kate Magness' residence and
entire contents were totally destroyed
by fire Saturday night about 10
o'clock
The fire started while Mrs. Mag
ness and all her near neighbors were
on the picnic ground and was not
discovered until it had gained such
Roadway that it was impossible to
check the flames or save anything
from the building.
Mrs. Magness believes the fire
was started by some person or per-
sons who had broken into and robbed
the house. Several dollars in silver
that is known to have been in the
house were never found and no trace
of the money or the melted metal
could be found Some gold coin and
Mrs. Magness watch, which were
hidden in one of the front rooms
were found, and proved to be only
slightly damaged by the fire. This
strengthens Mrs. Magness' belief that
the house was robbed and burned.
The total loss on house and con-
tents is about $1,000 and Mrs. Mag
ness had only 5000 insurance.

EDUCATION AND EFFICIENCY

1t would be unfortunate indeed if
the various states of the union should
be iesss diligent in maintaining the
public free schools and the state
institutions for higher education dur
ing the war than in peace. The chill
dren and young people of the country
will need every possible advantage
for education and training To deny
them such advantages at this time
would be dangerous to the citizenship
and detrimental to efficiency.
There is need for economy in pub
lie expenditures during the war. 1t
is highly desirable that expenditures
be kept down to the actual needs of
the public. Every dollar of the PEG
pies taxes should be required to
bring quick and satisfactory re-
turns.
But surely no people can afford to
reduce the support needed for the ed
ucation of their sons and daughters.
1t will be economy to foster educa-
ton especially agricultural and other
industrial training needed for efficien-
cy in oduction.-Farm and Ranch

TO THE MEMORY OF
FLORENCE ELLA FORTUNE

On Friday night, August 10th, the
death Angel visited the home of Mr..
and Mrs. P. S. Fortune and claimed
their youngest daughter, Florence
Ella.
She was born May II, 1909. At
the age of three months she was
dedicated to God in the Methodist
Protestant Church by Rev. w. D. Nc
Ginnis, then pastor Of the Maeness
Circuit Little Elias stay on earth
was of short duration but it was
filled with sunshine, love and 10y.
She was just here long enough to
brighten the home and gladden. the
hearts of papa and mama, brothers
and sisters and to sweeten and in
spire the lives of all from her little
life touched. She was a little angel
IN the hmoe, priceless jewel in the
church and Sunday school and an
onament in society.
She will be missed in the school
room by her school mates and class
mates; missed in Sunday school and
church; missed by the neighbors and
last but not least missed by the pas
tor. And most of all she was missed
in the home from which she was
taken.
She bore her suffering without a
murmur or complaint. She was per-
feetly conscious of her suffering and
condition and talked until the last
hour perfectly resigned to the win
of God.
On Sunday August Il, at Il o'clock
a. m, her funeral was preached by
the writer at Pleasant Hill Church
before a large concourse of sorrowing
and sympathetic friends, after which
the little body was laid to rest in the
cemetery near the church to await
the resurrection morn. The floral Of
ferings were large and beautiful and
much appreciated by her loved ones
and friends.
May the grace of our Gracious
Heavily Father comfort and sustain
the grief stricken fathre and mother
bothers and sisters in this sad hou,
of sore affection. May their lives
and walks be SO close to the Lord
that some sweet day when the tolls
meet little Ella where farewells and
and cares of life are over, they may
good-bye's are said no more.

Her Pastor.

FRICHTFUL STORIES
GERMAN CRUELTIES
LoRoke Man Says German Cruelty
Enough to Make Every American
Want to Fight

Frigtful, stories of the cruelties
of the German soldiers toward help,
less people who are compelled to
~ubmit to their hostilities are reach
ing this country through Americans
now in Europe.
John Fletcher, a son Of former
sheriff T. M. Fletcher of Lonoke
writes his father that if every young
American could see what the suffer
ing of the people of the villages and
the wanton cruelty and brutishneas
of he German inladers really means,
that Uncle Sam couldn't furnish
transportation fast enough to send
them across with Springfield rife
to fight.
Another letter that has reached this
country and has gotten into the pa
pers say the German soldiers are not
far behind the Turks in their disre-
gard for the rights of helpless peo-
pie. This letter says is part:
Their cruelty is little different
from that of the Turk but the diff
ference is only one kind The Turk,
for example, often respects certain
things which we have learned to as
sociat with our religious and racial
beliefs; the German has no respect
for anything; nothing is too sacred
for his profane hands. The turk
frequently used to show some res
pect and Difference to upper classes,
the educated people, regarding them
as perhaps being useful even in
Turkish dominion The German as
soon as he arrived pointed out the
educated as the most dangerous of
all and instigated the Turks into or
ganizing ruthless persecution of
the intellectual classes.
Zone day l walked from a place
where thousands of innocent women,
girls and children were bivouacked,
suffering nameless miseries. | walk
ed away because | could not bear any
more to gaze upon them"
There is no question as to the re-
liability Of these letters, and when
you hear your neighbor or some one
say that this war is for the benefit
of capital, you will know that they
are either ignorant or are in SYM
pathy with the Germans and are de-

Tending the demons who are COM
hitting the most barborous crimes
against helpless and defenseless peo-
pie who are compelled to submit to
German tyranny.
What caused the United States to
enter the war is not the question.
Who this war is for is not the ques-
ton. That our own government IS
not perfect is not the question.
The question is, are we of America
prepared to submit to the awful
depredations and barborous treatment
that has been and is being inuicted
upon the Armenians, the Belgians, ard
other people of Europe by these
bloodthirsty demons whose desire is
to rule the Universe with an iron
hand?
Are you for the United States or
Germany?
If you are for the United States
and have a drop of loyal American
blood in your veins, dry up your
slanderous and reasonable talk about
the United States being in this war
for the benefit of capital.
This war is to maintain the free
dom of our own country, for the free
dom of our wives, mothers and chill
dren.

PLANS TO DEVELOP

Under the Anna Maria Resort com
pany, newly organized corporation

Anna Maria Beach is to undergo
further improvements in making it
resort center for the people Of
South Florida. The company Just
organized is 100000 corporation,
which will continue development
work already started and will pro-
ceed to add to the natural attractions
which aready exist at the island re-
sort, and the original intensions in
the development of the resort will be
worked out by Messrs. Roser and
Hanna.
approximately 100000 has already
been spent in improvements, clearing,
drainage. grading streets, drilling
three deep wells. filling in at the
beach. building docks, dance pavil-
ion and small hotel. The hotel has
been remodeled thoroughly and is i'm
better condition than ever. The bath
house, containing 100 rooms is open.
A better line of boat service is on
than ever before. (See schedule on
another page.)
Anna Maria has an unique advan-
tage in that it has an interior and an
exterior beach, equally good for bath
ing. On the inside as well as on the
gulf, the beach is good Fishing of
all kinds is good Tarpon fisher
men often make it their headquarters.
as II is convenient to the fishing
grounds. Tarpon were caught almost
in front of the Anna Maria dock last
week.
The plan of the developers is to
continue the improvements and to
emphasize the fact that Anna Maria
is particularly a resort for people of
South Florida, especially those living
along the Manatee River and Central
Florida. 1t is an ideal vacation place.
and the developers wish to encourage
the building of homes by people who
want an outing place during different
seasons of the year.

should be money, too. The growers
