The LIBERTY LOAN

A telegram published on the
front page of this issue calls up
on all patriotic Americans to rem
der all the assistance in their
power to the end that Arkansas
shall come up with her part of
the Liberty Loan that will be us
ed to equip our boys at the front;
it is a call to the cOlOrs Not with
rifle and sword, but for the pur.
pose of pushing the war at the
front, and 10 the end that the war
may result in victory to the
Americans and their allies. There
is no better investment than a
Liberty Bond, from an invest
ment standpoint. But that is not
the point; it is patriotic duty to
assist the government at this
time. The man who has money
to invest, or can spare it whether
he wants an investment or not,
should buy a Liberty Bond, and
when he does he has done a patri-
otto duty, as well as made good
Investment.
This war is a fight to the finish.
Every principal that Americans
hold dear is involved and hangs
in the balance. We must sue.
ceed, and every resource of every
citizen must be at the service of
the government. All cannot fight,
but the man in the trenches must
be supported, and we who are
not in the field must do it. Let
every American do his duty and
success will be ours.

OBITUARY

Mrs. Loucetta Ford Stuart was
born at Columbus, Ark, Sept. 10,
1855, was married to Jas. Monroe
Stuart September 25, 1874, and
died at the family home at Ozan,
Ark, September 2S, 1917, aged
62 years.
Sister Stuart professed reli-
gion and joined the Methodist
Episcopal church, South, when
only twelve years old, being an
active member for fifty years.
She lived her religion at home
and loved her church, always
abounding in the works of the
Lord" 1t has been my privilege
to be her pastor the past two
years, and / can bear witness to
the steadfastness of her faith and
the constancy of her devotion to
Christ and to his cause.
Deceased was devoted wife,
an affectionate mother and much
loved Gs,1d cherished by all who
knew her. She is survived by
her husband and nine children,
six boys and three girls, all of
whom are active in church work
and useful members of society.
Wherever Mrs. Stuart was
known, people said of her, Tru-
ly she is a good woman" She
gave her life in unselfish and un-
ceasing ministry to her husband
and children, and to the sick and
unfortunate.
She will be most sadly missed
in her home and in her communi-
ty and church, but we know
NllSIc W ulu ucI.
After a brief funeral service
conducted by her pastor, assist
cd by Rev. u. D. Lindsey of Nash
vile, Ark, the body was laid to
rest in the beautiful little Gene
terry at st. Paul to await the res
direction of the redeemed. 1t
can truthfully be said, "She rests
from her labors and her works do
follow her"
We would say to those who are
left behind, hus band, children,
look up; it will not be long until
we shall see her again and be
with her and the Christ she loved
so well.
b. E. Mullins,
her pastor.

The amount paid to growers for
cantaloupesat the sheds along the
line of the p. & N. w. railroad in
this county was S110,949.16, or
about $1,000 per acre average on
the thousand acres devoted to
This crop, as shown in a news
item elsewhere in this issue.
This is a fine showing and the
money comes in at a time when
some of our farmers need money
to keep from buying goods on
credit. Another important fea.
ture is that the cantaloupe crop
can be followed by other profita,
BILE crops the same season.
This section of Arkansas has,
for the past few years. been
gradually awakening to the pos,
sibilities of diversified farming,
but TO the stretch of country
along the line of thg i. & N. W.
railroad belongs the honor of
blazing the way.
