FUNERAL SERVICES
OF MISS LEITNER

The funeral services of Miss Flor
ence Leitner will be held from the
family residence at o'clock this aft
ernoon. The burial service will take
place at Anthony. Rev. Smith Har-
din assisted by Rev. Ira Barnett will
conduct the service. The Methodist
church choir will give two numbers,
Mrs. Ira Barnett will sing the beauti-
full solo, Sometime We Will Under
stand" and the young ladies of the
Sunday school, of which Miss Leitner
was much loved member, will sing
one song.
If we could only know in life how
dearly we are held in the hearts of
our friends, what a wonderful thing
it would be. And if Florence can look
upon the home she loved so dearly and
see the magnificent floral tributes,
silent messengers of love from her
friends, with what unspeakable glad
ness will these tokens of affection be
accepted.

CREEL
L ACKNOWLEDGED THE
CORN
MRS. ]. L. BECK

Mrs. j. L. Beck (nee Miss Sallie
Hudgens) was born in this county at
the old home Jan. %, 1860, and died
at her home at Fellowship Tuesday,
May 18th, 1918
She leaves a devoted husband, two
sons, three daughters, one sister and
two brothers and large number of
relatives and friends.
She was devoted wife and mother,
a true friend and consistent Christian.
She was loyal and devoted member
of the Baptist church but she had
many dear friends in the membership
of other churches who loved and hon
ored her for her Christian spirit and
for her works sake.
In her death the community in
which she lived and adjoining com
munity, have lost good friend. She
was much loved by her many friends
in this community, where she had
grown up from early girlhood, and
hearts of sincere sympathy beat for
the devoted husband and children of
this good woman. May we follow the
example she lived.
Mrs. Beck had been in bad health
for several months but confined to her
room only three or four weeks. Her
many friends hoped until the last that
it was Gods will she might be restor-
ed to her usual strength and health.
But God saw best to remove her to a
brighter world. There she will be al
ways happy with loved ones and
friends who have gone on before.
Her grave was completely covered
with flowers, showing the love and
esteem in which she was held.
Rev. A. L. Prisoc, her former pas
tor, performed the funeral service
and spoke words of comfort to the be-
reaved ones. The Fellowship Sunday
school choir rendered several favorite
selections of the deceased.
Every year the Father calleth
Some loved one to endless rest
And the heart, tho filled with anguish,
Can but cry "He knoweth best"
Every year some hand has finished
All its word for others here,
And we miss voice whose accents
Fell like music on the ear.
And the eyes that smiled so sweetly,
Answering back the look of love,
Now are gazing on the glories
Of the beauteous realms above.
But a year, not distant, cometh,
When we'll tread the vast unknown,
We shall find our ransomed dear ones
Seated round the great white
throne.
One Who Loved Her.

fCYCLOPS AND CREW
REPORTED SAFE
May Have Been Battle for Control
of the Ship in Mid
Ocean

Knoxville Journal and Tribune)
Indications that the United States
collier Cyclops, reported by the gov
e1nnent as lost, has safely reached an
Atlantic port, are contained in let
ter received Monday morning by Mrs.
d. f. Wyrick. of Strawberry Plains,
wife of the Southern Methodist min

friend who had shipped on the miss
ing vessel.

The jim referred to is James Madi-
son Wheeler of Strawberry Plains,
whose wife, kitty" is now in Brook

On receipt of the letter, Mrs. My

friend in Fountain City, who had a
son, Archie, on board the collier. Mr..
Pape, however, was not surprised, as
he had received word, he said, from
confidential sources that his boy was
safe.

Pape, who declines to comment fur

A message from Washington Mon

report of the safety of the Cyclops.

The effect of the thought of the
several hundred thousand people who
accepted the idea emanating from a
single source was in one year to
create such enthusiasm that on the
second celebration of the day mil
lions participated-an thus Thrift
Day has come to stay.
Possibly one of the most astonish-
ing features in connection with the
establishment of Thrift Day has been
the unanimous recognition of the fact
that Thrift Day is to become the
most potent factor in developing the
daily practice of thrift.
Thus, from the idea germ which
was launched from Philadelphia, in
January, 1916, there has resulted
not only its active acceptance, but
thousands have come forth from
every walk of life, and by discussion
and writings have amplified and de-
veloped the idea germ from many
different points of view, but always
