Aged Minister Sick.

Brother A. E. Scott informs u,
that the universally loved, admired
and esteemed Methodist minister
Rev. T. j, McGill, that grand Old
man with the silver locks and pleas
ant smile, has been critically il! at
his home in Martin, suffering from
two light attacks of paralysis.
This means that Bro. McGill will
be unable to attend conference,
which convened Wednesday at Mar-
ray, KY, the first session, perhaps,
he has missed in more than a quar-
ter of a century. That he will be
missed in the body, which he has
hvened and inspired by his kindly
smile, cordial greeting and sweet
singing, goes without saying.

Captain and lieutenants are very
nice to me. They have made me
acting corporal over a squad, and
that makes me feel like soldier

1t is a beautiful sight to see the

TO THE PATRONS OF THE KOZY
THEATRE:

The war has bit the motion picture business very
hard and large percentage Of US WILL no doubt be
driven out of business.
Our country must assume its share of the cost of
carrying onthe struggle and bringing ittoa successful
finish. The management OF this theatre is doing its
duty by the payment Of increased taxes on seats,
surtax, film, express, and now comes tax on ad.
mission, cent on each 10 cent admission.
We have now been compelled to make slight ad-
vance in the price of admission as follows, owing
not only to extraordinary taxes but to the increased
cost Of film, etc.

Belief Is Expressed That United

Actually Prove an Advantage IN Get

So far there is not the slightest in
dication that the new and ruthless
campaign of the German empire
against the shipping OF the world has
made any change here in the ship
ments or purchases Of mules for the
British army. There IRE at present
several thousand mules at the con.
centration point here and during the

In fact, the shipments are being made
just about as they have been for sew
eral months past Mules afA coming
in from all over the South and are
then made. up in shipments Of 600 to
700 at time.
Mule buyers here have received no
intimation that any plan will be
changed, on the contrary, the belief
is expressed that purchases and ship
ments will continue just as they have
bee nsince the purchasing of mules
commenced on big scale. One mule
buyer declared his belief that the en-
trance into the war of the United
States not only would not change the
shipments Of mules but would actu
ally make it safer to get the mules
across the ocean than it had been.
Transports would then have protec-
ton on this side Of the water from
the submarines, something that they
did not have at this time, he declared.
