MRS. MARGARET SMITH.

Mrs. Margaret Smith, nee Ellis, was born at Dyersburg, Tenn, Au- gust 6, 1845, and departed this life March 3, 1917. When but a child Mrs, Smith came to what is now Faulkner county with her parents and settled near Enders. At an early age she was married to James P. Smith, and to this union was born four daughters, two of whom. had preceded her to the great beyond and two, Mrs. F. P. Webb and Mrs. R. E. Perry live at Enders. For more than 40 years she was member of the Methodist church and the doors of her home were wide open, not only to the circuit rider" but to minis ters of other denominations as we'll, neither did she turn away the stranger.
 When but lad, fighting his own way in the world, she and her good husband saw the need of the writer of these lines and invited him to come and live with them, do the chores nights and mornings for his board, while he attended the public school. With them he spent several months and her friendship for him ripened into love and in speaking of him she often called him "my boy" and her. request was that when she was laid to rest that he writes these lines.
 He has lost one of his best friends, her husband good and faithful wife, her two children loving mother and the neighborhood a good neighbor. For several years before her death she was an invalid, unable to leave her home, but her sufferings was borne without complaint, and when the end came she was ready. Friends can help us fight the battles of life but that battle with death must be fought alone.
 There is time, or space, or peri cd, between life and death when all the friends and relatives of earth cannot comfort you. They are no more than as many pictures.
 The garden of Gethsemane must be entered by all of us, and there we must, like our Christ, fight that last battle, and like him, fight it alone. This she had done, and the victory was complete, for her last song was, q am waiting for my Savior on the other shore" A. M. Ledbetter.

 Ebert McNew has. put in fine pasture for his stock this year. Let's all follow his example.
 We now have the logs at the saw mill for the new church foundation, and as soon as they are sawed work will commence on the building.
 Sunday school was well attended on last Sunday by our young people, but where, oh where, were the older mem- bers? Come, everybody, next Sunday.
 Miss Alether Blythe, who is attend ing the State Normal School at Con- way, visited homefolks Saturday to Tuesday.
 Mrs. Jessie Woolly is reported i'm proving. She has been quite sick with pneumonia.
 Mr. and Mrs. Qualls visited pr. Har- dy and family Sunday.
 Rev. James Ellis, who has been sick for the past two weeks, is improving slowly.
 Ye scribe and family visited in Hap py Ndlley SdIuTudy HlRHI, anu Wnlie there went to meeting of the citi- zens of Mathews township and other places to protest against the compul- sorry dipping of their cattle. And we believe from the threats and demon strations of violence we saw and heard while there it would be dangerous for a fellow just now to try to dip his cattle, or even to advocate dipping in these parts.
 The infant of Mir. and Mrs. Emory Hardin is very low with pneumonia, but we hope for it's recovery, and they have our sympathy in it's sickness.
 J. E. Hardin and others were in our midst last week looking up the law on tick eradication and circulating peti- tions against its enforcement. We hope not vats will be blasted nor any thing rash be done that people will be sorry for in days to come. There is right way and a wrong way, boys. Seek the right way. March 21.

ZIMMERMAN ADMITS
STATE OF WAR EXISTS
Ii Alone Indicates Count Won
BernStOrf Knew Break
Was Coming
By Robert ]. Bender.

UNITED Press staff correspondentl
Washington, Mar. 3l.-Germany may
have recognized that state of war ex-
lists between that country and the Uni
ted States, according TO an interpreta-
tion today by the state department OF
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman 5 speech
This Interpretation was based upon
the published quotation Of Zimmerman S
remarks, saying:
"It (the United States cannot deny
us the right TO seek allies when il has
itself practically declared war on us.
The state department would not in
terpret the remark as being a full Of
ficial recognition of a state of war, but
it said the remark "might be- so in
terpreted.
This angle of the international situa-
tion probably will be injected into
President Wilson IS speech to congress.
He can argue that Germany already
holds that a state of war exists-basing
it on the Zimmerman statement and that
hence there need be little argument as
to the facts of the situation.
The statement pointed out, in answer
to Zimmerman, the Count Won Berns-
torff must have known in the middle of
January that break in relations be-
tween the two countries was inevitable
in view of Germany's submarine cam
paign, that he undoubtedly endeavored
to avoid a break but though Germany
had a three day period between her
submarine war declaration and the act
ual break, she mde no move to avoid the
apparent coming rupeture.
