Lane Stern yesterday received q letter
,from Major william A. Anderson. of
Eexington. former attorney general o.

NOW being made to have a battery
formed there. and that Greenlee D.

that he would in all probability be

OF Virginia, the case OF the Tidewaser

yesterday before the supreme court of
appeals at Wytheville. The question to
be decided Is whether a public service

vote of Its stockholders. discontinue
operations overnight. without first no.
tifying the patrons served by such

made to hurry the case through the

the right to dissolve their company

About everybody is pleased that the

After the temporary feverish excite
ment there comes reaction, and a
season of dullness and lassitude fol-

is fit and proper that the one particular
national holiday be appropriately and
generally commemorated as 1t keeps
alive the patriotism of Americans, and
in spots that patriotism requires some
speeding up. 1t Is to be hoped that In
celebrating the deeds Of 1776 1t will
arouse spirit Of loyalty among the
people to emulate the actions OF Our
forefathers in the great crisis OF 1917
when the very life Of all that the men
of '76 fought and bled for is at stake
Let America lose the present war and
all the blood shed for liberty and de-
mocracy in the past will have been
shed in vain.

There must be some antique hicks
scattered among the population OF

Iished in the last issue Of the Mansfield
News. That paper stated that some OF
the sage brush denizens we're throw
ing up their hands in holy horror be-
cause, forsooth, It had come to tn
virtuous ears that the Grecian dancers
billed as one Of the 4th Of July attrac-
tons at the big celebration, might ap.
pear before the gaping audience In
fleshings. Shocked Mrs. Grundys who
pose as authorities upon the proprie-
ties we're registering protest, and the
News was splitting soothing syrup in ar
explanation that tights had been rig
idly barred by the chaste censors OF
the concessions, and the graceful
dancers from the shores of Greece
would 60 through their gyrations in
rubber hip boots and overcoats to the
shoe tops. Out uEou such senseless
prudery. We presume these same OBJ
jectors to tights, who seem terribly
worked up over evil thoughts, wear
goggles when they visit town now
adays in order to escape being shock
by the brief skirts that fashion dictates
women shall wear on the streets.
Greece and Brazil have Joined hands
with the allies. Every country under
the sun Is fearful of its right to an ex-
istence in case such a calamity should
occur as the success Of the central
powers in the present war. and hence
are casting their lot with those nations
that are battling for freedom.
