The Leesburg Commercial truly
says: son battlefield in France a

down his life. A bullet from the lines

Lieutenant Wiley Fl. Burford was no

enemy less across No Mans Land, but
to US it brings nearer and more
graphically the realization that Hur,
bullets are finding their way into the
windows of our homes, striking our
brothers, our sons, our friends. More
than before, we are justified in look

the man who is failing to find loyal
work for his hands and for his funds

Washington's birthday meant more
to the nation and the world this year
than usual George Washington was
one of the strongest and most even
characters of history. 1t is noticeable
that as, time goes on his fame does not
diminish and it does not increase. He
was one of the few great men whose
greatness was so plain to his contem-
poraries that it did not acquire any
false proportions from posterity. A
weaker or a selfish man in his place
would have changed history. While
he belongs first to America, his MEM
DRY is also universal property and
insignificant indeed is that part of the
world that does not claim some share
of it.

Abernethy was very recently insolvent

Morehead City and boasted thereafter
that the deal was worth $25O,OOO to
him and his associates, and that large
sums IN violation of the North Caro-
