MAY DESTROY JERUSALEM.
How much wanton destructivencas
the Turks are capable of is uncertain.
but it can hardly exceed that of their
German allies. Fears are expressed
that as the British approach the city
the Turks will destroy Jerusalem.
There have been predictions that they
would blow up st. Sophia if compelled
to cvacuate Constantinople.
Neither would DC markedly worse
than the penchant Of the Germans for
shelling cathedrals, and not even the

ment railway system, and he pointed
out that military cOnsidera tiOns were
treated as or paramount Importance In
the Prussian railway system. While
American freight rates had been re-
duced nearly 10 per cent in thirty
years. rates In Prussia were nearly as
high as at the beginning Of the period.
While the charge for moving a ton of
farefEhe one e1niIe In the United States
was trfno over three-quarters OF 4
cent the rate In Prussia was LII
cents.
A. illustrating the difference In rates
between government and private roads
Mr.. Acworth compared the railways
OF New South Wales, Australia, with
those Of Texas. While the amount Of
trafac to each mile of line was about
the same In both cases, he pointed out
the Texas railways performed for the
public four times as much service as
the government owned roads of New
South Wales. The charge in Texas
for hauling ton Of freight one mile
was less than cent, while in the Aus
tralian state it was well over 2 cents.
American railways lead the world"
said Mr.. Acworth. Nowadays when
nea In any other part Of the world
want to know how to run a railway
they come to the United States and
study your railways here. The Amer
lean railways are entirely the result
OF private enterprise, and I think they

The first to come were the
Merrilees with songs and read
ings both instructive and en-
tertaining. Lieut.. McGibney in
the evening was an "eye-opener"
as to conditions to be met in the
present war and the things need
full to crown our armies with
victory. The second day brought
Knight MacGregor, Scotch bari
tone, who appeared in both
afternoon and evening, while
Prof. Reno gave an evening in
magic and illusion to the delight
of the children, old and young.
The "big hit" of the day was
Miss Harold in her readings.
So thoroughly did she and Knight
MacGregor captiyate our people
that they were requested to re-

man both to think and to do.
The evening brought Miss Dun
ming and the children of the
town in a play, Circus Time in
Fairyland," followed by the
grand concert by the White
Hussars. Miss Dunning's work
was thorough and many a parent
heart was made to swell with
JOY at the work of the little ones,
and every one was proud of the
troupe.
At the close, the committee
voted thanks to the superintend-
ent and requested that he and
Miss Harold be sent us next
year and that Mr.. Dickey, who
has worked with the committee
for two years, be sent for SINH
lar work again.

vice Sunday evening when Supt.
Bailey, at the request of the
pastors, conducted the services.
1t is enough to say that expec-
tations were fully met and this
service was called the best nu n
ber. Saturday brought more
music and readings this time
of the Hawaiian type and Prof.
Wood in the realms of science to
the delight of both lovers of
music and mechanical arts.
Many of our people saw for the
first time the gyroscope as well
as the possibilities of both light
and sound as a force in nature to
perform work. Monday Miss
Dunning, the children's worker,
gave some readings, and Mr..
Wenner gave his lecture, "A
Square Deal in the Barefoot
Kingdom" a children's after
noon for grown-up children more
than tots. In the evening the
Parish Players presented three
dramas, clean and instructive.
The last day that splendid band,
the White Hussars, appeared in
both the afternoon and evening
with song and instrumental
music, fully coming up to the
expectations of all who attended.
In the afternoon Mr.. Chas. L.
Ficklin gave us his lecture,

not intended to be entertaining
but to call to the cool judgment
of the people that fact that the
individual is becoming a spoke

of the Layman's Gospel League,
a union of the laymen of all de-
nominations. Several lay speak
ers will occupy the platform at
different times but the principal
speaker is Mr.. Geo. Tucker, a
railroad man of Jackson, Tenn.
If you want to know of him and
his work we refer you to the
following letter to Bro. Bell:
Searcy, Arkansas,
April 20, 1917.
Pastor of Methodist Church,
Okolona, Miss,
Ny dear Sir and Brother:
| understand that Mr.. George
Tucker is coming to your town
to conduct a revival meeting.
have had had him here with me
for three days and he is a great
help in a campaign. Whether
he appears before a large audi
ence in the Tabernacle, or ad-
dresses a mass meeting OF
women in the church or talks to
men in the theatre. he is always
at his best for the Lord. His
face shines with the light of the
Master, his heart is overfiowing
with pity for the poor sinner.
wish to congratulate the peo-
Pile of Okolona on his coming and
ask the corporation with the
marvellous evangelist that he may
win many souls in your town.
George Tucker was converted
under my preaching two years
ago. He seems to be called de-
fnitely to the evangelistic work
and | prophesy that he will be
one of our leading evangelists in
a few years.
| wish you would publish ny
letter in the town paper that the
people at large may know how
| feel towards this man.
Fraternally yours,
Burke Culpepper.
This meeting was brought here
by the railroad men but it is for
the whole people. and we trust
all will attend.

II believe this medicine has

these troubles together just pull

so | could hardly go at all. To
tell you the truth, my life was
almost a burden.
II couldn't eat anything
hardly without suffering after
wards, and always after eating
| would have a full, uncomforta-
BILE feeling. At times / would
have dizzy spells and would get
so blind | could hardly stand on
my feet without danger of
falling. The rheumatism would
hurt me so bad | couldn't sleep
at night, and it just seemed like
| was in some kind of pain from
one days end to another. | felt
tired and worn out and unfit for
twork, and couldn't take interest
in anything on account of my
condition. No kind of medicine
seemed to do me any good and |
lost weight and strength contin-
ually.
! This is just the condition |
was in when my husband got me
to try Tanlac. He said he was
sure it would help me, because it
had done so much good for him.
| hadn't been taking it any time
hardly until | could see all the
difference in the world in my
feelings. | actually gained ten
pounds on the first three bottles
and had to have my clothes let
out because they were getting
too tight for me.
'The rheumatic pains have
left me almost entirely and |
sleep fine at night. My appetite

Okolona Chapter U. D. C.

For many years one day III the
Spring or Summer, when flowers
were in their prime, the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy have
come to lay flowers on the graves
of the never to be forgotten
Confederate dead. This meet
ing presided over by our enthus-
iastic President, Miss Mollie
Tremmies, was held in h e
court house. The decorations
were the treasured red, white
and red," a very simple, slight
association brings vividly to
mind MI that these colors stood
for in the days that our dearest,
our best, our all was of our coun-
try's altar. There were flags,
red, white and red; bunting, red
white and red. Roses white and
red; lilies white and lilies red.
Strange! Strange! that the hu-
man family is the only piece
in the great universe that gets
out of harmony with the Inf
mite"
Mrs. Murdoch, widowed by the
war, and now long after rearing
her family left to her solitary
care, and after the 85th mile
stone of her life has been pass
el, stood up and sang with the
voice of long ago, "Just Before
the Battle Mother.
Mrs. Fannie Clark reviewed
briefly the work of the United
Daughters of the Confderacy,
calling to mind many who had,
on these memorial occasions,
brought us commentator anC
encouragement, up to this gooC
day, and was pleased to introduce
Judge Quitman Robins who hao
come to speak for us. Judge
Robins referred to the war Of
the COS with feeling and appre-
citation of those who gave their
lives for the cause that still lives
in the hearts of Southern mer
and women. He was so filleC
with the magnitude and impor.
torrance of the present war, he
could not hold long to the past.
His arguments against the ma
tions confronting, almost single.
handed, the allied nations of the
world was an "eye-opener" tc
some of us. And if war is the
Masters way of establishing His
kingdom on earth, the war ther
on the heather Germans, wor-
shiping the Kaiser as part of the
God-head, is justifiable.
After Judge Robins speech
| the audience went out to the
cemetery, where a thousand OF
more Confederates are buried
1t is beautifully sodded with
grass and though the graves are
unmarked, yet it was beautiful
under the trees, strewn with
flowers, a fitting place for the
Soldiers Rest. The decora.
ting committee, Mesdames Har-
rell, Glidewell, Cora Gates anC
Sam King, did their part beauti.
fully for which we express our
sincere appreciation. We also
thank Mrs Gavin for the atten-
dance and training of the schoo
children, who kept step in strew-
ing flowers on the soldiers
graves and we sincerely trust
that this is as near war as t.. ell
little feet may ever come. Mr..
Stoyall, too, is to be thanked for
helping US out, in getting for US
the band from the Industrial
School which added much to the
occasion. We wish also to ex-
press our appreciation of the
young orator, Mr.. George E.

 MT. Place said: This new Allen model, with it's low speedy lines, fine upholstery and finish. and sturdy con struction can be partially appreciated upon sight. To fully appreciate it one must hear the history of one of our first new series Al stock models.
 'This regular stock car made near ly 5000 miles in two weeks in mud and sand. over mountain and prairie. It carried load equivalent to five people and ran from Fostoria. O.. to Denver without a single mechanical repair or adjustment during the en- tire trip. Further, it averaged 20 miles per gallon of fuel
 At the end of this time it com peted in the Kansas City automobile dealers 750-mile trade tour and made perfect score, the fourth successive perfect Allen score on this same Kan sas City dealer tour in four succeed. ing years. Thus Allen maintains it's reputation"
