Hon. W. s. Hill Makes Stirring Pa
triotic Address.


Minter City, by the patriotic dem
onstration held there yesterday after
noon, left no room for doubt that that
community intended to "do its bit" in
the great world war. Sunday was Sc

flag raising for the reason that the
citizens Of that public spirited and
loyal community regarded as a "holy
day" the occasion of the unfurling Of
"Old Glory" It is a matter Of more
than passing interest that the flag was
purchased by contributions from citi-
zens of that community, both rich and
poor, white and black. A band was
secured for the occasion and feature
of the day was the music Of local tai.
