"Deas Sirs: When opening
the mail this morning, i came a
cross a paper addressed to me,
at first / did not recognize it,
but later found to my great
surprise and establishment that
the "Old Hickman Courier" had
found me. l was very anxious to
get to work devouring the news
! it had brought me, but when
locking on the first page at the
headlines, L was fearful-almost
afraid to read what was to fol-
low. 1t certainly was a grand
description Of the awfulness of
a cyclone. We had one of about
the safe kind of storms pass
through our beautiful valley on
May 30, about 4 80 p. m. l stood
and watched it cross the NOUN
tain and go down into the val
ely. 1t was funnel-shaped and
was tearing things to pieces.
We had another just 40 minutes
ahead of this one. 1t was fully
as bad as the one l have just
described.
Mr.. Editor, it has been II
years since l was last In your
(our) town. / was born and rear
ed in Fulton county, one mile
northeast of Cayce and / cant
help but love the dear old c0un
ty. My father, Rev. Findley
Bynnm, was one of the oldest
citizens of the county, and TAX
ing into consideration these facts,
l ask you to send the Courier to
me for a year. Enclosed find
money order for $1.25."

until justice has q fair show, until!
the virtue of woman is sure of pro-
lection, until little children no longer
70 hungry, until the kaiser and his
cohorts have unpacked their trunks
on St. Helena's barren rocks. And,
meantime, give each one Of us the
fighting spirit that led the crusaders
10 victory. If we do not fight with
our hands in the trenches, help us
&c fight with sacrificing hearts al
home. -
Thou knowest, o Lord, we have not
entered this bloody war because OF
.varice or greed, and we do not covet
GermanN's gold or land. We have
the sword to defend our coun-
try against the most Infamous, blood
