In the war between the States
it was the fashion to sometimes
''send a substitute" when the
party sending him was unable by
age or physical infirmities to join
the ranks. You old fellows send
a substitute now. Be ready by
midsummer to send the proceeds
from ten acres of corn and fifty
bushels of potatoes and a bale
of cotton. Moreover, you will
be paid well for it.

Our Patriotic Duty.

The time for all division is past
Our country has taken its stand
and all people should stand with

peace for the world in future and
for the overthrow of the Hohen-
zellern dynasty in Germany.

to put out the flag, but don't for

are other duties which are
justlas important, and in which
every one can play his part.
Armies must eat and be cloth
ed, and the non-combatants must
be fed so as not to be a burden
upon the government. There
fore, it is the patriotic duty Of
every man, every boy. every
woman. to do what they can to
help. In no way can this be done
more effectively than by increas-
ing the food supply. Every ad-
ditional bushel of corn made in
this country is a bulwark of
strength. Every bushel of peas
is of more value than a dozen
bullets fired at the front. Every
bushel of potatoes is as valuable
as a three inch shell. Every chick

count in the general scheme.
Raise corn! If the Confederate
armies had not been starved out,
they would never have been
whipped. Corn was the food
that supported them mainly.
There is no excuse now why we
should not have an abundance of
it. Every stalk of corn counts.
There should be raised in Mon
roe county the greatest crop of
corn ever in its history. We do
not raise enough normally. West
ern corn is actually being import
ed into this county at the present
time, and we ought to be asham-
ed of ourselves to permit it.
Our armies must have cotton.

make extra efforts to raise q good

In this climate two crops of

The declaration that a state of
war exists between this country
and Germany has been enunci-
ated by Congress.
The declaration thrills every
American heart with patriotism
and inspires it to respond without
hesitation to the cOuntry's call.
Congress and the President
have said that American rights
have been assailed, American life
has been taken. American dignity
insulted and the liberties of the
republic have been threatened.
Without warrant of right Ger
many has wantonly insulted this
nation, destroyed the lives Of its
people and has sought to pre-
scribe the liberties of its citizens
in their inalienable right to ira
verse the seas in peaceful pur-
suits of travel or of commerce.
There can be no temporizing
with the situation that does not
SAVIOR of cowardice, treason or
disloyalty-no argument can be
tolerated that tends to discredit
the course of the country or the
purity of its motives. 1t is enough
to know that the nations rights,
its dignity and the lives of its cit
liens have been ruthlessly assail-
ed by an arrogant and relentless
foe. The Congress and the Pres
ident, the tribunal that must con-
troll the destiny of this nation. af-
ter futile efforts to arbitrate for
peace. have adjudged that re-
course to war is the only alterna-
tive that can perpetuate the hap
piness of this people and preserve
their honor. No patriot. whose
soul does not thrill with the fires
Of resentment at the wrongs and
insults perpetrated upon his coun-
Try by the imperial government
of Germany. is entitled to the
proud distinction of being called
On American citizen.
The world conflict has been en-
larxed by the entrance of this
country and resolves itself into q
contest between democracy and
autocracy in which the absolu-
tism asserted by kings must per-
ish from the earth.

 The foundation that adorns Bar. rack Square has proved itself quite a nuisance in continuing to flow during the present cold spell with the result that the water freezing as it ovcrfowed on the street has made one of the incest traps in the city for some person in the dark to pass along and break a leg or an arm or otherwise impcril their health by heavy fall.
