There is every indication that Lib
erty Loan bonds, issued during the
war, will greatly rise in value with the
establishment of peace. In 1888 a
500 United States bond, bearing per
cent interest, sold in the open market
for $3.50 In 1901 it brought more than
S139. The most conservative will agree
that Liberty bonds are sure to go above
par in value, now that the Allies have
Hold your Liberty bonds if possible
But under no consideration exchange
them for oil or mining stocks.

SPANISH FLU
ON DECLINE
IN THIS CITY
Only Eight Cases Have Been Report
ed in the Past Two Days-Three
Cases Was Total
Today.

The Spanish influenza seems to be
on the decline. The number of cases
reported to the health department up
to o'clock this afternoon was only
three, and only five cases were re-
ported on Thursday, making a total
of eight in the past two days.
People, however, should use all
necessary precautions to avoid the
disease and those who are afflicted
should stay within doors and not at
tempt to brave it out, as that general
ly results fatally. Stay in bed, keep
warm and follow the physicians ad-
vice. If you do not, you will likely
not need a physician in short while.

The Great est.

Self-control is an easy matter when
we are alone, says New Success Maya
zine But the IB;ment our lives are
thrown in with others, then comes the
struggle To maiotain our equanimity,
to restrain the sharp retOrt, the impa-
tent exclamation, to get along smooth
ly with disagreeable people, without
friction or jarring-this is the great
life test. This is what builds charac-
ter, what tests manhood or woman
hood, what makes the ideal employee.

Makers Of Heroes,

Emerson says, "Times of heroism are
generally times Of terror" They show
true character. 1t seems that human
nature needs test to show the stuff
It's made of. Spirits of heroic mold
often lie dormant until aroused by a
mighty challenge. It seems as though
there is some m1litarism of the soul
that waits the fife call and the meas
ure Of the drum beat. Not fear but
lack Of occasion keeps the lateut might
unconscious of itself. But let the need
call AMI the sleeping giant rouses and
strides Hayward to the dismay of petty
puppets of annoyance.

GOOD TIME TO DRAIN PONDS
OF Great importance That Road
bitches Be Kept Clear and In
Good Shape at All Times.

When the farm lands are too wet
for cultivation, it will be an ideal time
to drain the ponds and keep the road
bitches clear and in good shape. To
fail to keep the roads in good shape
will be failing to move the crops to
the market.

and off alone. She canned ego
quarts Of fruits and vegetables

Dedication of Service Flag

The donators Of this service
flag for the Presbyterian church
are c.. A. Dean and a few of the
much interested members. This
flag is in honor of our boys from
this church; some are members,
others are those who attended this
church and we are proud of every
one of them. At their country s
call they gave up their pleasant
homes and companionship of
friends, to go and protect these
loved ones at whatsoever sacrifice
required of them. For this pat
riotic service which we all appre-
ciate more fully than we can ex-
plain, we give this flag in their
honor, whether called over seas or
in training ready to be called.
The star is for a soldier, sol
der of today, who heard the call
Of honor, and bravely marched
away. He went where duty call
ed him, perhaps across the sea, to
fight for flag and country; to
fight for you and me. The star is
a reminder that we must do our
part and stand behind the soldier
with loyal hand and heart. we
pause and we salute it as we are
passing by-that little star that's
fairer than any in the sky.

matters and things that could and
should be handled through the
County Court.
We also recommend that in as
many cases as possible prelimi-
nary hearings should be had in
Justice Court before being sent to
the grand jury. By so doing,
many dollars could be saved the
taxpayers by dismissing such
cases in Justice Court as have no
merits.

HIS TRIP TO FRANCE
Subject of Joseph Milton Bry
ants Letter to Father

The Herald publishes below a
letter from Joseph NJ. Bryant tc
his father, Geo. E. Bryant. The
letter describes his trip to France
and is the first one in which the
censor has allowed him to tell OF
his experiences on the trip cover
there. - The letter is as follows
st. Blink, France, Nov. %, '18.
Dear Father AS we are now
allowed to write of our expert
ences in going to the front in
France, | will tell you of mine in
this letter. We left New York
city on August 9Th on what is the
largest ship, save one, in the
world. We were at sea five DAYS.
The night Of the fifth we were
without a convoy but a convoy of
five destroyers met us and stood
with us until we landed at Liver
pool, which we did on August II.
After leaving ship we hiked a.
bout a mile to Camp Knottyash, a
rest camp, where we staid for
three days without being allowed
to leave camp. We left there on
the morning of the fifteenth and
made a three mile march to the
train for South Hampton, arriv-
ing there the same afternoon.
There We were given passes and
you can wager that we all had "a
good time.
On the night of the 18th we
went aboard another ship and
crossed the English Channel, land
ing in Surburb, France. We went
into a rest camp after a five mile
MARCH. Later we landed at ST.
Blink where we are now.
Our regiment is made up of
Southerners and has the reputa-
ton of being the best regiment
and has the best name of any over
mere. SO you see what kind of
soldiers the Southerners make.
We always leave a good name be-
hind us.
We don't know when we will
leave here. We are being given
parade drills. The Third Armv
division is going to Germany but
We are not included in it.
We are well provided for and
given plenty to eat.
with love to all | am. your son
Joseph M. Bryant.

Lieut.. Glenn Was Killed

1t has now been definitely as
certalned that Lieut.. George Pres
ton Glenn Of Lynchburg, Va, was
killed, when the airplane in
which he was flying over Ostend,
Belgium, fell within the German
lines. He was buried in a new
cemetery at Gistel, near where he
fell.
This sad information was furn-
lshed by the German government
and was sent by telegraph from
the ,AdJutant-G Generals office in
Washington to Lieut.. Glenn's un-
Gle, Miles w. Blake of, Lynch
burg, and to his sister, Miss Anne
Blanche Glenn of DeLand, lately
oil Punta Gorda. The telegram
addressed to Miss Glenn was de-,
llvered to her aunt, Miss Blanche
Blake, of Punta Gorda, and was
forwarded by her to Miss Glenn.
In their bereavement, these two
ladies have the heartfelt sympa-
thy Of a host of friends here, in
Tallahassee, in Virginia and else
where. Miss Glenn was devoted
to her brother, and his death is a
very sad blow to her.
The newspapers of Lynchburg.
where Lieut., Glenn was reared,
speak in the highest terms of him.
The fact that he gave his life in
the service of his country will
cause his name to be honored
through long years to come. A
Latin poet aptly says 8 L is sweet
and glorious to die for one 8

One hundred and forty-two
negro men agents and 1914 negro
women agents of the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture and the State Agricultural
Colleges, were at work in the
Southern States during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1918. These
agents were very successful in
stimulating the growing of more
food crops, giving special atten-
ton to home gardens and the can
ming and drying of fruits and
vegetables for home use. They
also materially assisted in help
ing in the labor problem by urg-
ing negroes on farms to work six
days in the week. \

Starch From Spoiled Potatoes

Starch in potatoes is not de-
stroyed by the common decay
producing fungi or by freezing.
1t has been found in recent stud
les conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture
in laboratory tests that it is pos
sible to recover most of the starch
from frozen and rotten potatoes,
which lead specialists of the de-
partment to suggest that an, at
tempt should be made to salvage
the great quantities of spoiled
stock now rejected and dumped
on the terminal markets.
