DECEMBER 18TH TO
END VOLUNTEERING
No Choice of Service Is Left
After That Date To
Young Men.

December Is will be an important
date.
1t now seems that the right to en-
list and choose your own branch of
the service will cease on December
Is, on which date the new draft
classification becomes effective. And
as it takes about five days to get
your papers accepted and to reach
the receiving station, stand eXamina-
ton and be mustered in, it would be
necessary to take the preliminary
steps to become volunteer by the
tenth of December in order to enter
that way.
AS every available young man will
probably be in United States uni
form, within the next six months or
less, it is we'll to consider the advant-
ages of the volunteer as set forth by
Major Heidi, who has sent Sergeant
Underwood to the Post Office build
ing in Marietta, to have heart to
heart talks with the boys.
The advantages mentioned are
these:
FIRST-You come in as a volun-
teer and you have the feeling the
rest of your life that ''you went and
were not sent"
Second-You get in ahead of
thousands of young men who will
join by selective draft later. There
fore if you have the ability and the
"pep" you will be promoted ahead
of these men.
Third-You have the chance of be-
ing appointed to the next training
camp and promoted to the grade of
Lieutenant or Captain.
Fourth-You have the choice of
service. All branches of the service
are now open to the man who volun-
teers. THE DRAFTED MAN CAN
NOT SELECT HIS SERVICE, but
must go to the branch of service the
Government wants to send him.

Monday afternoon Orlena Thomas,

ing Bubba Reeves in November of
last year near Capt. Anderson's sta
ble in Marietta, was put on trial The
evidence and argument was not con-
cluded until about two O'Clock the
following day and the case finally
submitted to the jury under the
charge of the Court. The jury was
out about an hour and returned a
verdict of voluntary manslaughter.
Judge Morris sentenced the defend
ant to serve term of is years in
the penitentiary. The case was hard
fought on both sides, Solicitor Clay
representing the prosecution and Hon.
Fred Morris, and Campbell Wallace,
Esq. representing the defendant.
The prosecution insisted that while
the defendant was in Capt. Ander-
sons jitney automobile which was be-
ing driven by Bubba Reeves, without
pfovocation the Thomas woman
stabbed him in the breast and other
places on his body, and killed him.
The defendant contended that Reeves
was the aggressor, and cut her, and
that she acted in self defense.
