Mrs. Nellie B. Tullis died In New
Orleans on October 1s, 1917, and 10
buried there.
Mrs. Tullis was Miss Nellie Watson
of Church Hill, Miss. She was married
to Judge Hugh Tullis in 1882 at her
country home, "Woodlawn," where
she and many OF her ancestors lived.
As one who always knew her, re.
member her radient loveliness when .
child, mounted on her pet horse, later
dancing In her dainty grace in some
stately hall, always shedding kindness
and happiness, she adorned every
phase OF life and she died as she lived,
woman Of rare charm and noble
character. She was . devoted mother
and in return was idolized by her
children, Ethel, Nellie and Garner.
To them the Divine love alone can
heal, and..the comfort to realize that
the life OF unity, peace snd love they
enjoyed together here Is but taste OF
the life to come, where there is no
sorrow, no parting. The reflection of
Mrs. Tullis' life will always. remain to
give her its blessings, for she was Sun.
shine to the gsyest and the happiest;
she was beam of light at the bed OF
pain, . pillow of comfort to the sor.
rowing.
She was the kind friend to the help
less, and orphan; she did not walt to
be asked. She was always In the
needed place with her loving hand ex.
tended. 1t is hard to.give up our loved
ones when "the three score and ten"
is past, but to have her taken In the
prime Of life and usefulness is indeed
Q loss.
II she ever seemingly failed 1t was
but our want of understanding, for
such life of human kindness and love
could but speak of the eternal hfe
which is only blessed.
Where her lines were made hard she
forgave, even went still farther-she
bestowed.
The God VINO gave has but called
His own to q great reward.

HOW DOES TT STRIKE YOU?

IF O think this dope I am Civ
ing you is something new that |
have just gotten hold Of and
thought it would do for a sensa-
ton, you are badly mistaken.
It may be sensational to some
folks, but it isn't new at all. 1t IS
as old as the Bible, and the fact
that you didn't know it was IN
there amt my fault.
Millions Of people have believed
these things for a long time, and
millions more are beginning to be-
lieve them these days, It is no
new revelation to me, but has
been gradually unfolding before
my eyes for several years. l have
been Just on the verge Of launch
ing this campaign two Or three
times before, but decided the time
was not quite ripe for it.
Especially since the Great War
started l have been convinced that
we were in the closing scenes OF
this age, and I have not felt salts
fed to go on being a mere clown
to make people laugh. My
'tmouth has watered'' more than
once to say the things that I am
now saying, and at last they are
said. That is, some Of them are
said. There is plenty more to say.
This is a mighty big subject, and
as the hurrying stream Of events
rushes on it will get bigger. /
can only just touch the high
places in this 14j.z issue. In future
issues there will be room to treat
the different phases Of the ques-
ton more at length.
Now, Mister, if you believe it Or
don't believe it, / want the priv.
i1ege of talking to your head
about a quarters worth, anyhow.
BY that time you will either de-
eide that / am a fool or that you
are one, and maybe both Of us
will learn something.
Now come! Get up a big club
and send it in. And if you think
that way about it you can tell all
your friends that Pearson has
suddenly gone crazy and they Just
ought to watch his eapers.

There is such an urgent demand
coming from many Of my readers
for Good News to be made a
weekly paper, that I have decided
to put it up to the whole bunch
and see what you all say.
If / undertake to get it out
every week it will, Of course, be
necessary to get more machinery
and more help. This has been a
sort Of one-man concern hereto
fore, but it has often been more
than one man could manage very
well. And I wouldn't think of
trying it weekly without getting a
good crew of hands and the neces-
sary machinery to do the work in
a business-like way.
A Linotype Machine will be the
first and greatest need, and it will
cost about $4,000. It will be used
to set the type for the paper and
to handle the mailing list. I can
make out a few months with the
press | have by running it pretty
steady, but soon a faster one will
be required.
If / do make it a weekly I want
to also enlarge the pages to stand
ard six-column size-just twice
as big as they are now-and thus
make room for some good clean
advertising to help pay expenses.
That would make it take eight
times as much paper and postage
each month as it has been taking,
and all other expenses larger in
proportion. You can see at a
glace that it is going to take a big
pile of money to fit up and run
such a business, and you readers
OF Good News are my only de-
pendence to raise the money. It's
up to you. The way prices Of
paper and other things are now I
will have to make the subscription
price $1.OO a year for single subs,
rs cents in clubs of four or
more. Now if ENOUGH Of you
want it that way, and want it
BAD ENOUGH, you can get it.
But you certainly MUST under
that I can't print it week
~ just to please a few. You must
ALL get behind it and push. It
will be a job requiring the utmost
loyalty and cooperation of every
one. You must not only ":wish
well,' but you must translate
your wish into actual cash and
send it here to help buy paper

Dear Sir:--Here is my Dollar to help you
get a Linotype Machine and make GOOD NEWS a
weekly paper. I send this Dollar with the
understanding that it pays for the weekly

you don't get enough help to make it week

DO YOU WANT "GOOD NEWS'' TO
COME EVERY WEEK?
Answer This Question Right Now!

and pay work hands. That is the
only possible way for you to get
Good News weekly.
Now here is my proposition:
l want to see how many will be
game enough to send me One Dol
lar right quick to pay for a years
subscription to the weekly Good
News. II as many as Two Thou
sand will respond to this call
within the next two or three
weeks, I will order the Linotype
Machine and go to fixing for the
weekly paper at once. But if |
should happen to not get enough
money to enable me to start the
weekly, then what? LISTEN! If
you send the Dollar for the week
ly, and then for any reason the
weekly fails to materialize, I will
just mark you as a paid-up SUBJ
scriber to the monthly Good News
for SO years. In other words, you
will get the monthly right on as
long as you and the paper both
live without ever having to renew
again. So you see it don't matter
which way it turns out you won't
lose anything.
Now, friends, I am in deep
earnest about this, and I want you
to look at it in the same light. If
your eyes have been opened to
these great truths, it is your
solemn duty to help open the
eyes of others. Millions Of men
have DIED for causes not half as
worthy as this, and surely you can
give ONE DOLLAR for this
great cause, especially when you
will be getting the worth Of it
back in the paper every week.
There is a big field right now for
such a paper as I contemplate,
and. it ought to easily get a mil
11Ou SuDSCIlUoFS.
And now let your Dollars be-
gin to roll in thick and fast.
Remember that if only TWO
THOUSAND Of you folks will
send me One Dollar each to help
buy a Linotype Machine, I will
give you Good News weekly
right away. Who will be first?
And also remember that If the
weekly fails to start, then you
will be q LIFETIME subscriber
to the monthly. Thank you!

Yes. He Is Surely In There.

Some per pie make fun OF the
idea that the Kaiser is referred
to in the Bible at all, but just a
moments reflection will show
you how very probable it is.
Actual figures prove that this
war has already been more than
twenty times bigger than any
other war in the worlds history.
This is true as to the number OF
men under arms, the number kill
ed and wounded, and the cost in
money. Take twenty wars like
our War Between the States, and
roll them into one, and you still
won't have as much blood and
carnage, death and desola ton, as
this Great War has produced. /
base this statement on figures
printed in the Literary Digest a.
bout two months ago, and the
figures were said 10 be as cor
rect as it was possible to get.
So much for that. Now we all
know that the German Kaiser
was the main starter of all this
bloody business and thatit is his
crazy ambition for world domin-
ion that keeps it going. I
Now here: If smaller wars and
smaller men have been foretold
in prophecy, is it reasonable to
believe that this greatest of all
calamities would be passed over
and not mentioned at all?
There is no denying the fact
that many of the wars and war
lords of the past were spoken Of
in prophecy a long time before
they came on the stage of action.
In the case Of Cyrus he was even
mentioned by name over 200
years before he was born. Get
your Bible right now and read
Isaiah As 4. And remember this
was written more than 200 years
before Cyrus was born.
Many other instances like this
could be mentioned if time and
space permitted, but it is not nee
essary. 1t is a clear case that the
prophets did fortell future events
long before they happened, and
drew pen. pictures Of the mighty
men who were to take part in
those events.
And SO we come back to the
question / asked a few minutes
ago: If smaller wars and smaller
men have been foretold in proph-
ecy, is it reasonable, / say, TO
suppose that this greatest of all
wars and the men responsible for
it have been passed over and not
mentioned at all?
| say tits NOT reasonable. If
our Bible is the inspired book we
claim it to be, then you can rest
assured that the German Kaiser
is in it as big as a mule.

POLI'S

All Bridgeport is wondering at
1.-THE Miracle" the remarkable de-
monstration of telepathy as applied to
music, which has been featured at
Polls the last half of the week. A
most talented 'Trilby" plays every
conceivable musical selection at the
command Of her "SvengaH," while
there isn't any apparent communica-
ton between the two. Everything
from ragtime to grand opera is includ-
ed in "Trilbys" repertoire and the
Offering is one that fairly sets the
audience gasping. It will be seen for
the last time this evening.
Other attractions in the vaudeville
program include 1.-The Four Frol1ck-
ers," in a musical farce called 1.-THE
Long Lost Girl"; Margie Gray. the
charming Coincidence in songs; Halli-
day and Chartress, in songs and
dances. and Reynolds and White. In
comedy bicycling novelty.
The photoplay feature is Sister
Against Sister," a fve-part drama
starring beautiful Virginia Pearson
The Hearst-Pathe News. with some
views Of big league baseball teams in
their training camps, is another
screen attraction.

Jessie Stevens, no plays Eve Les
lies mother in Envy" one of Nc
Cures Seven Deadly Sins, starring
Ann Murdoch, which is to be shown
at the Lyric theatre tomorrow night,
was one Of the most famous Topsys''
that ever toured in Uncle Toms Cab
in She thrived on the part. 1t
agreed with her som UGH that as she
grew older she found that she was toe
plump to play leading parts.
So she joined a stock company. Re-
hearsing a new play every week, work
ing morning, afternoon and night, she
rapidly reached the poundage that she
sought and soon she was touring the
country at the head Of her own COM
pany, tipping the scales at 120 pounds.
Throughout the middle west they
still talk about Jessie Stevens plays.
For forty years she has been on the
stage. Now she confines herself to
character roles. Her film experience
includes engagements with Selig, Es-
sanay and Edison. She's the cheeriest
person in pictures and she carries her
happy personality into the films.

EMPIRE.

Made famous by a statue for which
she posed and by poems inspired by
her wonderful beauty, Daudet,s fa-
nous character 'Sapho," voluntarily
chose to give up all the fame and
notoriety which might have been
hers to live in semi-poverty for the
sake Of Jean Gaussin, the young
student. Pauline Frederick, in the
Famous ers-Paramount adapta-
ton of the world famous story, has
uneducated, unrefned and yet the in
spiratton for some of the greatest
men and artists Of the time. What
was it that fascinated her throngs Of
admirers. that brought all Of Paris to
her feet-and yet at the end drove
her to leave all splendor and luxury
for the self sacrificing career of
Red Cross nurse? The answer will
appear on the screen of the Empire
theatre tonight. This is a master
piece that is sure to please and ap-
peal. Clyde Fitch's stage version
produced some years ago proved
sensation and the picture version is in
every way far superior to the stage
version.
Tomorrow evenings program will
be healed by the five part Bluebird
production, The
Sanity Sinner" featuring charming
Ruth Stonehouse and an all star cast
Bear in mind that no one anywhere is
showing better pictures than is
shown at all times at Keeney's EN-
pire theatre, the home Of first run

Genius and Insanity.
THE END.

Many Of the men whose names we
revere today in science, art, literature
and poetry suffered from emotional
disturbances, resulting in nerve storms
or outbursts of mental violence which
can only, be described as superacute
mania. The poet Cowper had strong
suicidal tendencies, yet he wrote "John
Gilpin" when suffering from intense
melancholia. Shelley had an insane
ancestry, and at Elton he was called
Mad Shelley" Charles Lamb had to
be placed In an asylum, and his sister
Mary stabbed her mother to the heart
while insane. Wordsworth and his
sister Dorothy are almost parallel to
Charles, and Mary Lamb. At the age
Of thirty Coleridge was broken down,
and he died a wreck at sixty-two.
Southey came Of an insane stock. The
mother Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan,
the dramatist, died demented at forty
two. Pope was deformed and rickety,
and Keats was homeopathic to his fin
ger tips. Byron's mother was unbal-
anced, and SO was his maternal grand
father.-London Globe.
