Whereas, A petition for foreign born
citizens of the United States announc-
ing their intention of celebrating July
Fourth as a Loyalty Day to demon
strate their love for this country and
its cause has been filed with the Pres
ident, and,
Whereas, The President issued a
statement on May Twenty-third hearth
ly approving their intention and re-
questing the Committee on Police In
formation to cooperate with them,
Therefore. / Sidney j. Cats, Cover
nor Of the State OF Florida, in response
to a request of the Committee on Pub
lie Information, do hereby proclaim
and urge the people of Florida to cele-
brate
July Fourth, 1918, as Loyalty Day.
Let us show our appreciation of the
attitude thus manifested by foreign
born citizens; and, may we shut out
the "old fashioned" Fourth OF July with
its long train of avoidable deaths and
accidents, its elimination now being
doubly expedient by the absorption OF
the output OF fire works by the War

the coming Fourth In manner that
will drive home the lessons of the war,
and of the day in an unfergettable man.

MRS. PATTIE H. WOOD
 DIED MONDAY MORNING
WIFE OF COL. ]. E. WOOD, FORM ERLY EDITOR OF THE LEE COUNTY COURIER, sUccUm6ED AFTER LONG ILLNESS.

Mrs. Pattie H. Wood, beloved wife of Col. J. E. Wood, for thirty years editor of the Lee County Courier, died at her home on Chestnut street at 8 o'clock on last Monday morning. following an illness of several days duration. Friends had known for some time that her frail body could not withstand the suffering much longer. but when she quietly passed away without struggle or a sigh, they found the pain of the separa- tion none the less poignant. Mrs. going would be as one falling asleep and her prayers were answered.
 Mrs. Wood. or Aunt Pattie," as she was affectionately known by so many, had been victim of tubercu- losis for several years, but through all her illness and suffering she was keenly appreciative and thoughtful of others and took an active interest in the affairs of her household. full filling her obligations as matron with the same degree of exactness as though she were we'll She was a deyout member of the Christian church and had never wavered in her devotion to God and to the in- stitution that epitomized her re- ligious faith. She died on the morn ing of her sixty-sixth birthday. She was a native Tennesseean but had resided in Marianna the greater DOT tion of her life. She is survived by her husband, Col. J. E. Wood, by one brother, Ben Drake of Tennessee, by her foster son, Hon. Thos. E. Wood, chairman of the Arkansas Railroad Commission, and by her aunt, Mrs. Cornelia Ragland.
 Mrs. Wood had made all plans for her funeral and loving friends saw that all her wishes were carried out as nearly as possible. Rev. T. F. Patterson, so long her pastor, was here to conduct the funeral services. His tribute to her was very beautiful and sincere. At her request prayers were offered by the Rev. c. c. Burke of the Episcopal church, and Rev. | w K. Johnston of the Presbyterian church, and by the Rev. J. 5. Easley
 pastor of the Christian church The passages of scripture that she loved and read most were read at the funeral services, and the songs she loved best were sung. The serv- ices were conducted at the home at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning m- torment followed in Cedar Heights cemetery Many beautiful floral de- signs attested the love her many friends bore for her.

MORE THAN 100 DEAD
 IN RAILROAD WRECK
LOUIS WOOD OF MAXWELL NUM- BERED AMONG KILLED IN A COLLISION OF TRAINS NEAR NASHVILLE, TENN

Nashville, Tenn, July 9.--At least one hundred persons were killed and as many more injured shortly after seven o'clock this morning, when Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis railway fast passenger trains No 1, from Memphis, and No. 4, from Nash vile, crashed head-on, just around the sharp. steep graded curve at Dutchman's Bend, about five miles from here.
 Both engines reared and fell on either side of the track, masses of twisted iron and steel, while the fearful impact of the blow drove the express car of the north bound train through the loaded wooden coaches, telescoping the smoking car in front and piling high the two cars behind it, both packed to the aisles with here, and about 150 other regular passengers.
 Just where the blame lies has not been ascertained Officials of the tOdu dIc SAcHt. put Oiic Ol tuiCC things is reasonably sure-that the engineer of No. was given wrong instructions, ran past his signal or overlooked the schedule on which he was supposed to run. That he knew the Memphis train to be little late leads to the conjecture that he was attempting to reach the switch at Harding station, short distance be- yond the scene of the wreck, when the inbound arrived at that point
 The scene immediately after the collision is indescribable. Those es- caping unhurt or with lesser injuries fled in panic The cornfield on both sides of the track was trampled by many feet and filtered with frag- ments of wood and iron from the de- molished cars The dead lay here and there. The dying moaned ap- peals for aid or speeches., rolled their heads from side to side in agony. Everywhere there was suf- fering and chaos.
 The following Arkansans are in- cluded in the dead and injured:
 Dead--Louis Wood, Marvell.
 Injured-Bert Pierce, Ola, back in- jured; Elton Cook, Centerville, slight ly injured.

BIG BAPTIST REVIVAL CLOSED LAST TUESDAY
OVER FIFTY CONVERSIONS AND ABOUT FORTY ADDITIONS TO THE CHURCH-lEAvELL IS A POWERFUL PREACHER.

The revival meetings that have been in progress at the Baptist church during the past two weeks closed on Tuesday night of this week. There were more than fifty conversions and about forty additions to the chur ch
 The Rev Jas. B. Leavell, pastor of the First Baptist church at Hous. ton, Texas. did the preaching, while the music was under the direction of the Rev. A. E. Petroff, Baptist pastor at Camp Logan, near Houston
 The sermons delivered by MT. Lea veil were impressive and powerful. The minister's presentation of the bible plan of salvation, his stirring appeals to the unconverted, in and out of the church, his striking illus. trations, his deep sincerity, his scathing denunciation of modern forms of frivoIity and vice, his plea for better and higher life, his pic ture of the glories of Christian serv- ice and consecration were thrilling, gripping and convincing. Before en. tering the ministry MT. Leavell was cashier of bank at Oxford. Miss His long business training, his ex- perience with men of affairs, his keen insight into the problems that keep so many people from giving serious consideration to the future life, peculiarly fortify him for evange' listic work.
 MT. Petroff, who had charge of the singing, is a man with won derful history. The story of his boyhood days as the son of Bull garian army officer, the cruelty and prosecutions he suffered at the hands of an interruptions uncle following the death of his father, and later his experiences as an Outcast immigrant boy in America, followed by years of wanderings and hardships, and finally his conversion in Kansas, re- sulting in the dedication of his life to the ministry. read like fiction As a singer MT. Petroff has few equals. His voice is clear, strong and rich and his solos during the meetings just closed were distinct feature of the revival.
 Marianna has received a great b'essing from the presence of these two men of God. Both were charm ed with the city and with the peo- pie here. and MT. Leavell has decided to spend a week here in August en- toying the fine fishing on the lakes near Marianna.
