Death of Mrs. H. A. Minor.

This beloved woman died Wednesday
morning, August 9Th, at $50 o'clock,
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. W. H.
Carter, where with her husband, DIR.
Minor, she had made her home for sew
eral years.
Mrs. Minor, nee Miss Ellen Roy Fer
ris, was the eldest daughter of Mr.. Eu-
gene Ferris, and was born in CORTLAND,
Ala. in 1885. Of a large family, only
one son is left, MIR. Eugene Ferris of
Decatur, Ala. Shortly after the war
she was married to Mr.. Luther Beach
tel. who was assistant state treasurer,
and was stationed in Macon when this
place was the state capitol. Mr.. Baech-
tel died a few months after their mar.
rage. In 1883 she was married to DR..
Minor. Besides her husband and his
children, there are numerous nephews
and neices and other near relatives to
mourn this true and lovely woman,
especially Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Chap
man. who has had the care of her the
last few years.
Her remains were inferred in the
Odd Fellows cemetery in Macon services
being impressively conducted by Mr..
Duren of Columbus, assisted by Mr..
Broyles and DR.. Jones of Macon, The
p~rofusion of exquisitely beautiful flow
ers testified most eloquently to the low
ing esteem in which she was univer-
sally held. We always think OF her
with the flowers, which she so loved.
Her sweet and lovely personality was
very unusual and old and young were
attracted to her. Her religion was that
of Christ-love and service for others.

Dominion is Accepting the War
As a Serious Business.

extended visit in Winnipeg and other

that our allies in the Old Dominion are
supporting the war with patriotic pa
thence and practically. He reports
that the streets of Winnipeg are almost
destitute of young men but that the
people accept the situation resignedly
and work constantly with little or no
complaint in order that they may
prove themselves worthy of the soldiers
who have given their lives in the de-
Tense of freedom and the Union Jack.
He affirms that conservation is consci-
entiously practieed in every department
of life and that the people enthusiastic
cally support any movement that in any
way promises assistance to the cause
of Democracy and Truth. On his re-
turn from Winnipeg, Mr.. Buckmaster,

The report of the work of the Boy
Scouts of America in the second Liber-

It shows that the Boy Scouts were di.
rectly responsible for the sale of
$101, 133,600 in bonds.
This means that they procured about
5h9d Of the total subscriptions to the
lean, and the number of bonds thew
sold show that they secured / subscrip-
ton out Of every Is.
This is splendid record for the bows
of America and hopeful sign for the
future of the country when the bows Of
The. land are willing and able to per-
form such valuable public service.
It is to leave them such a national
heritage as our forefathers of the Rev
olution bequeathed to their descend
ants that the proceeds of the Liberty
Loan are to be used

MISS ANNA PAULTZER
rs STRUCK BY TRUCK
Young Woman is Slightly injured When
She is Hit by Motor Car
Emerging from Alley-way.

Miss Anna Paultzer was painfully
but not seriously injured on Monday
afternoon when she was struck BY one
Of the Barden Store trucks at the
alley-way between the Robinson Book
Store and the English Hardware Com
pany. The accident occurred in mid
afternoon and consequently caused
some excitement on Main street. Miss
Paultzer was knocked down by the
impact of the car, and although she
was not run over, her injuries were
such as to require the services of
the Hansen ambulance, which was sum-
moned to the scene and hurried her
away to the Kenosha hospital.
Eye-witnesses Of the accident report
that Miss Paultzer was walking south
on Main street and had started to
cross the alley when she noticed the
approaching truck. She started to
wait, it seems, and then, judging from
the expression Of the driver, decided
that he intended to wait for her. Ac-
cordingly she started across again and
was struck by the fender of the car.
The impact was sufficient to throw her
heavily to the street and to render her
faint if not unconscious. The truck
driver and passers-by ran to her as
sistance, found that she was unable to
walk, and summoned the ambulance
which carried her to the hospital
in record time.
Subsequent examinations showed
that she had been badly bruised and
shocked but not seriously injured. Her
limbs were painfully hurt but no bones
were broken and an early recovery is
expected. Inasmuch as internal in
juries were feared, however, she was
kept at the hospital over night in order
that close watch on her condition
might reveal any symptoms of organic
disturbances. Late this afternoon she
was resting well and apparently on the
road to convalescence. Miss Paultzer
lives at $50 Rowland avenue and is
well known on the west side.

IT'S FOR VOLUNTEERS ONLY
Letters to Santa Claus Will Be Turned
Over to Benevolent Organizations and
Volunteer s'Good Fellows Will Be
Expected to Take Care of Them.

There is a new mobilization on in
Kenosha. We have been sending the
boys off to train for battle and from
among those who are left behind Keno
sha has started the annual mobilization
of 6 Good Fellows into an army which
is going to spread Christmas cheer in
Kenosha. All over Kenosha there will
be homes where Santa Claus is not
coming this year unless he comes in the
guise of some of these "Good Eel
lows.o The Elks, the Associated Char
tiles, the Salvation Army and lot of
other organizations are planning for
the annual drive against the untitled
Christmas stocking. This drive is go
ing to be on from now until after the
day before Christmas and there will be
plenty Of action for this army Of men
who believe that it is better to spread
Christmas cheer to the homes where.
this cheer seldom penetrates than it is
to have big dinner in their own home.
Uncle Sam is going to aid the army
of "Good Fellows in seeking the
homes where Christmas cheer may lbe
needed and the annual order has been
sent out from the post Office department
directing that all mail addressed to
Santa Claus be turned over to benevo-
lent organizations. There are already
score of these letters in the hands Of
the local postal officials and it is ex-
pected that there Will be food Of
them before Christmas eve.
Christmas giving in Kenosha is go
ing to be systematized as much as pos
sible ribs year and there will be an in
telligent handling of all the cases
which may be reported. The letters of
the little boys and girls will be turned
over to trained investigators who will
visit homes and find out just what is
going to be needed in these homes to
make Christmas a "Merry Christmas.
In most cases the petitions of the lit
tie children will find someone to an
swer them and in addition to this a
lot of other things will be provided as
they are shown necessary for the homes
in question.
Tt is not going to be hard to get into
the "Good Fellow army. Their is
not going to be any reflections on ac-
count Of physical condition Of the men
proposed for enlistment. All that will
be necessary will be to show the men
and women in charge that you want to
expend little something--it does not
matter much how much-and you will
be accommodated.
If you want to be one of the men or
women in Kenosha in charge of meet
ing the demands of the children, Just
get in touch with the Associated Chart
ties and you will be advised of some
one who is in need and you can make
your own investigation of the case and
make your gifts accordingly.
There will be no draft of "Good
Fellows" in Kenosha this year and the
men and women who join in this labor
of love must volunteer
