McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1917-02-09

The spontaneous outburst of
patriosism by the American peo-
pie, when the news was received
of the break with Germany, and
a nominal state Of war exists.
gave denial that our people are
not as eagerly patriotic as were
our revolutionary fathers. But
few if any of the large German
element in the United States
would fight for the fatherland
against their home land. BE-
cause they were for Germany
against England is a very differ
ent thing than of Germany
against the land of their choice.
The country knows no politics or
differences in economic princi-
Piles, when it comes to assailing
the rights and lives of her peo-
pie. We will not in fact be in
war except on the seas. Our
naval force, Of course, would en-
gage any armed assault on our
vessels on the nigh seas. We
will in so doing be in line with
not only the entente powers, but
every neutral power of the world.
The defy is to all neutrals. 1t is
a dying gasp Of a giant which
becomes a pigmy, when meas
ured up by the combined world.
They expect history to write that
1T took the combined world to
whip US.
McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1917-02-09

We haYe just read poem handed
US by maiden signing herself Zabri-
ma Q. 1t begins:
"When Gabriel from the sunless deep
Shall blow his trumpet long and loud,
Then shall each poor, lost sinner weep
And long to hide him in his shIoud."
Now, you wouldn't imagine this
was written by a rosy-cheeked, corn
fed girl of sixteen from over in the
Lawton section. who would dress at
least l50 pounds excuse US; the hog
business will creep in, and this young
lady deserves better treatment.
Mike on the sob stuff, Zabrina;
you'll never know when you wear a
shroud, and the best thing for you to
do is to marry soon and settle down
to raising angels for the celestial
market, and let Gabriel blow his head
off IL he wants to. Come again when
you feel better.

Tommie H. Your production is too
long. Take your poem to a paper
mill; you can get FIVE cents per pound
for it. Besides, we are not in the
undertaking business, altho we may
get into it if much more such stuff is
sent in.

Will They Find You?

Can your friend from out of the city
get off the train, go into the depot or
drug store and call you up?
Or does he ply his way through the city
directory. II there Is one at hand. 10 find
where you live. then take the risk of walk
ing TO your home and not finding YOU in1
This is only one of many instances Of
what the home without telephone exper-
lenees. Your friends really expect SOU TO
have a telephone and you are doing yourself
an injustice If you don't have one. We can
give YOU rapid. reliable service at low rates.

For ale.-About seventeen pounds
Of waste paper, at five per; lot Of
trash from Buck Snort and Bill Hick-
orybud about their differences with
each other, that no one cares to listen
to. This corner is reserved for ladies
and gentlemen, and if those two
Hickory Hollow roosters want to make
faces at each other they will have to
hunt some other corner to do it in.
