of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. D. Hartnett, who
with three young sons, Andrew, John
and Martin, survive him, as do also his
mother, Mrs. Kate O'Brien, his
brother, A. D., of this place, and two
sisters, Mrs. VIM. Moroney, of Boards
ley, and Mrs. D. H. Grady, of Portage,
Wis, both of whom we're here to at.
tend the funeral. He had been presi-
dent of the village council here and a
member of the Hibernians, the A. O.
U. w., Woodmen, Elks and knights
of Columbus, being District Deputy of
the latter fraternity. At the time of
his death he was president of the
newly incorporated Graceville State
Bank and was member of the board
of county commissioners. He was at
all times most prominent figure in
affairs of a public nature and had been
repeatedly honored with positions of
trust in connection with matters of
that kind.
1t would be difficult to overestimate
the loss we have suffered in the death
of Martin O'Brien. And this loss is
not alone to the community, though
his worth in public affairs, in which
he was most active, was such as pos
sibly to overshadow the beneficence of
his private life, but to every indi-
vidual whom he knew and who were
proud and grateful to call him friend"
His help, which came freely from his
big heart, was ever ready to be ex-
tended, unostentatiously, to those in
misfortune and need, and there are
few indeed who knew him and who
did not have occasion to be grateful
to him for some thing or things of
which he and themselves alone had
knowledge. He did good by stealth
and would have "blushed to find it
fame" And the writer, for himself,

Major General J. Franklin Bell, the new commander of the Eastern de- partment. is soldier who has shown himself on more than one occasion to be good fighter, full of energy and enthusiasm. He was born in Ken lucky in 1856 and graduated from West Point at the age of twenty-one. He first distinguished himself in 1883, when he captured band of half breed Greek Indians in North Dakota. In 1899 he was awarded the lCongres- sional Medal of Honor for most dis tinguished gallantry in action, Sept 3, 1899, near Porac, Luzon, P. L." General Bell remained in the Philip pines until 1903, when he returned to this country. He was commandant of the infantry and cavalry school, the signal school and the Staff col lege until 1906. At that time he was appointed chief of staff, being the youngest officer ever to hold that position. In 1911 he became con- mander of the Philippine Division, re- maining until 1914.

WHAT IS X PERFECT CITY?

The term, "This is a good town" is familiar in every city. In fact, it s so common that it scarcely means anything.
 One city is really trying to achieve that distinction in fact as well as in name. And here is what it wants: Good, honest municipal government; perfect boulevard system; adequate parks and playgrounds; civic center system industrial and residential sec tions that are apart; public library: an auditorium; no smoke; good trans pOrtatiOn and traffic regulations.
 Which is mighty fine "bill of de- sire" for any city!

The German agents seeking to in- cite the negroes of the South against the United States had better be care full. The negro is loyol to the gov. ernment, and most are loyal to the South. And just about as soon as some one of the kaiser's tools says to a good negro something harsh bout the "old master" there's going to be a Hohenzollern head cracked. The average negro has no respect for the white man who associates with him on a basis of equality, knowing he is either trying to victimize the negro, or is of the class known to the good negro of the South as "po' white trash"
