home in Riddleton, Tenn, the
bank has lost one of it's ablest
officers and fnanciers; the peo-
pie of Jackson County, where he
was raised, lived and transacted
most of his business, one of its
noblest citizens, although tenn
porarily residing out of our coun-
ty, we still claimed him as one
of our fellow citizens.
"Mr. Brooks was I'd years and
a months old, and since early
manhood has ever been ready to
help the poor, if honorable, and
his financial assistance can be re-
called by every business man of
our county, and hundreds if not
thousands, of farmers can point
with pride to his assistance and
advice. His death will be deeply
deplored by all, and by this bank
in which he has been an officer
for years, and a stakeholder
since it's organization.
"Deploring his death we have
met and submit these resolutions
as a mark of respect to his men,
ory and our deep regret at his
death, and tender to his devoted
widow and children our deepest

Golden Weddirz

Mr.. and Mrs William ALBERT, who
live about twenty miles south OF

bered. Two large cakes were present
eG-one from Mrs. Earnest Albert,
bearing dates of marriage and the
date of the fftieth anniversary I-y-the

From the Air Raiders
Paris July 3O.-Four hundred small
children threatened with death by as
phyXiating gas bombs dropped by en-
emy aviators were removed today
from a small French town near the
firing line to a place OF safety by the
American Red Cross in response to
the first emergency call received
at the Partisan headquarters.
The first word of the children s
condition reached headquarters late
Thursday afternoon and the next day
the Red Cross sent doctors and nurs-
es and truckload of condensed milk,
clothing and drugs for their relief
The children were bathed, fed and
provided with clean clothing. They
were given medical attention and f.
naly transferred to a safer locality
As the German aviators are using
gas bombs, and because it is impos-
sible to equip children properly with
gas masks, 1t has been considered
necessary TO take them out of the
danger zone
Many farmers who are busy har-
resting crops have been unable to
give adequate care to their children
and the Red Cross now has temporar-
ily taken them under its control.

Last Sunday Miss Ida Barnes, four
teen years of age, living near Hya-
cinth, went to the spring, near the
house after . pail of water and when
nearing the spring she discovered .
dog, that from its action she decided
was suffering from hydrophobia. In
stead of screening and calling the
neighbors, as many another girl
would have done, she returned to the
house, secured a rope and lasooed the
dog and with the help of her moth
er tied it TO a tree TO await the home
coming of the men folks, who were
attending base ball game at Ellis,
who on their arrival dispatched il
with an axe. That was some nerve
for a fourteen year old girl.
