 "WeIi, he doesn't know of this"
 Nobody is on the bridge now, and nobody Is going to be on there until tomorrow morning. Wire him if you Ike. He'll wire niingworth down al Martlet and we'll get word what to do."
 "You won't put any men at work on the bridge until"
 "Not until tomorrow morning." said Abbott decisively, If don't hear from somebody at Martlet tomorrow morn ing the work goes ou."

WACAHOOTA

Wacahoota, Nov. 28.-The grim
reaper came with his scythe and cut
the life threads of one of our oldest
citizens, Mr.. J. A. Bradshaw, at 8
o'clock Sunday morning, Nov. Ii,
and his spirit quietly passed from
earth to rest in his eternal home. Mr..
Bradshaw was born in Houston coun-
ty, Georgia, April 10, 1912, and with
his parents moved to Newnansville,
when he was but twelve years of age.
While still lad he entered the war
during the second year and fought
bravely for the Confederacy the re-
manning three years, during which
time he was wounded twice. After the
surrender he returned to his old
home He was married to Miss Eliz-
abeth Mckinney March Is, 1878. Five
! children blessed this union, two of
whom went as lambs to the fold back
to the blessed Father who gave them.
| He moved to WacahooGa in 1896.
! Soon after this Mrs. Bradshaw died,
leaving him with three small children
whom he tenderly reared and educat-
| ed, taking the place of both father and
] mother to them. Mr.. Bradshaw was
man of sterling qualities, was edu-
Gated and kept we'll informed on all
/ topics. He was a splendid business
man and had prospered financially.
He was a solid citizen end good
neighbor, ever ready to help anyone
who was in trouble or need of help,
and always gave literally to the poor
and all charitable purposes. He will
be greatly missed throughout our
community. Mr.. Bradshaw was har-
Messing pair of mules late Thursday
afternoon and one of them kicked at a
loose horse and struck Mr. Bradshaw
in the abdomen and knocked him
down. He called to his sister, Miss
Amanda Bradshaw, who was in the
house. She came to his assistance
and after several attempts he reached
the house. A physician was summon
ed and his children phoned for. He
was given the best medical attention
and the tenderest nursing and care
but all was of no avail. His life work
was ended and he "passed over the
river to rest under the shade of the
tree" He was laid to rest in the Gem

John Dillon, nationalist member of
the house of commons, addressing the
Ancient Order of Hibernians in Dub
lin recently condemned the Sim Fem
ers for alternating the sympathy of
the United States from the Irish
cause" The friendship and support
of the Americans in Ireland's strug-
gle for liberty was their greatest
asset, he said. But what was hap
pening in America today filled him
with horror. Friends and supporters
of the Sim Feiners in Ireland, he
said, were now charged with treason
to the flag, and with entering into a
combination with Germany to defeat
America. He was deeply convinced
that the Irish race in America would
take steps Immediately to disasso-
ciate the name of Ireland from such
conduct. Nobody, said Mr.. Dillon
could exaggerate the fatal character
of the policy of undertaking to make
Ireland republic, and, as a first
step in that career, quarreling with
the United States and turning on the
flag which was the dearest to the
Irish race of any flag in the world.

Italy has passed from the position
of one of the cheapest to one of the
dearest war countries as regards
cost of living. Speculation in food
and clothing and heating material is
generally held responsible for the
very high prices, in many respects
fifty per cent higher than in France.
Wooden goods that last summer were
sold at 81 and 81 yard are now
being reinvoiced and sold in the SAINT
stores at SIS and SO yard. Women's
clothes have been doubled or trebled
in price, according to the whim of the
storekeeper. The cost of housekeep-
ing has doubled since last winter.
Eggs that formerly sold at 3 cents
each, now sell for seven to nine
cents. Fresh vegetables are sold al
most at meat prices. Butter is rs

cents pound, while coffee has gone
to 80 cents pound. Ham and bacon
have disappeared entirely from the
market as being too dear for anybody
to buy. Oatmeal sells at 80 cents a
