Of Hamilton county. Some fifteen to
seventeen years ago he became inter-

Company, which grew rapidly about
STAFFORD and gave promise of being
very successful venture. So enthus-
iastic was the doctor over it that he
extended the line to Webster City. To
enable him to do this many friends in
and about Stratford signed notes with
Mn. The phnne line.s however, did
not pay and the men who went on
these notes had to pay them. Ulti-

round of ammunition is fired
and the last man has dropped, "
KAISER Wilhelm, like Nebuch

to punish the wicked. But, like
Nebuchadnezzar, Wilhelm will
perish for what he has done"
1T is impossiblee to tell what
the Germans have b .lind them.
We are overcoming the Zeppelin
and the U-Boat, but yet they
might devise some new fiendish
implement of warfare. "

To the People of Mississippi:

To the People of Mississippi:
Having been invited by the
managing editor of The Issue to
say a word Of greeting to the
people of Mississippi, | wish to
say:
First, that [ congratulate the
good people Of the state upon
the prosperity which the present
high prices Of farm products
brought to them. The low price OF
cotton due to war condition tor
the past three years cast gloom
upon the toilers and caused them
to LABOR without hope, hnt better
prices and a larger yield this year
have dispelled that gloom; the
debtor has been able to dissolve
old OBLIGATIONS and look to the
future with bounding hope.
There is nothing SO discouraglng
as poverty nothing so humllla-
ting as want. To labor without
hope of fair remuneration IS
about the most trying ordeal OF
a mans life. It will test the metal
of the strongest. Thank God for
the change. four people are pru-
dent and provident they will pass
through this trying war expert
ence with the minimum damage
thew must not be, however, mlsled
by the unusual high prices OF
everything and betray into indul-
ging in extravaganza, which al
ways precedes disaster. The ma
ton is confronted with a fearfu !
problem-a problem that will
test the ingenuity and patriotism
of our people. Just what this war
will cost in blood and treasure
God in Heaven alone can tell
Whatever may have been our per
sonal views regarding the wis
dom OF the country entering into
this war, the stern fact remains,
that we are in it, and there is no
difference between patriotic
Americans as to our duty.
Mississippi will bear their
share of the burden of taxation
and suffer any sacrifice which
they are called upon TO make
without complaint. But we should
not overlook the fact, also. that
American inStltut tiOnS must live
this Republic must survive the
shock of war and thoughtful men
in the hour of trial, will not for,
get the high duty which must
devolve upon them in the resto-
ration of free government afte +
the war is over. The future vel
fare and pemanancy of American
institutions must rest absolutely
with the individual citizens. The
man who tolls to pay the taxes,
and sheds his blood in defense of
the flag must still remain the
supreme ruler of Am erica. |
would, therefore, urge upon you
the Importance of serious,
thoughtful, considerations of the
problems yet to be solved. Etel-
nal vigilance is the price OF your
liberties. Don't forget that.
Regarding my own political
future, permit me to say
that at the proper time | shall
go before the people aud give an
account of my stewardship. But
there is plenty of time for me to
do that. There are matters of
more Importance for US to con-
slider than the political fortunes
of anu one man or number of
men. All that / have done as

MISTAKEN FOR GRAND DUKE
"cod Forbid, J Am an Honest Mani"
Replied Russian Army Leader, In
Reply to SaIutation.

An amusing story is going the rounds
in Petrograd just now concerning Gen.
eral Brusiloff, who can be very direct
and brusque in his manner when he
chooses.
The army leader happened to be in
the capital on business-this was be-
fore the revolution--and was mistaken
by an officer passing for a certain
grand duke of VIGOROUSLY prot German
sympathy.
Coming smartly to the salute, the
officer, who probably, judging from his
manner, had some petition for pre-
ferment to present, led off with the re-
mark:
pardon me, sire, but believe am
addressing the Grand Duke So-and-

"God forbidp replied General Brus-
iloff, 81 am an honest man."
And saluting gravely in his turn he
