Home Visitors.

Anent the recent visit of Messrs.
H. E. and Fred Curtin, who were
here on a furlough July 26 and 81,
visiting their parents, at Woodland
Mills, and others of their relatives
and friends in the county, q word or
two concerning the family is par
tieularly interesting at the present
time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtin enjoy the
friendship and esteem of hosts of the
good people of the county and of
southwestern Kentucky, and the fact
that they have done so patriotic a
service as to offer their two stalwart
sons to the great cause is indeed a
sublime commentary upon their citi-
zenship.
Corporal H. E. Curtin, the older of
the two sons, was recently married
to Miss Judith V. Branhan, of Mer-
idian, Miss, who is the daughter of
one of the ablest lawyers of that
State. Mrs. Curtin was admired for
her many social charms and Chris
tian graces and her husband for his
exceptionally strong business char
acter and personal worth. Every
wish for Corporal Curtin is that his
military achievements may be to his
honor and to the credit of his people,
and when the struggle is finished he
may be permitted to return to his
wife, to the business world so prom
Using and enjoy the privileges that
are so dearly won and highly valued.
The brother, Mr.. Fred Curtin, was
a volunteer and is located at Hemp
stead, Long Island, N. Y, ready and
anxious for his turn to go overseas
and into the battle lines after the
Hun He is in training with the
aviation squadron which is playing
a very important part in the active
operations of the war, and which
will no doubt become most power
full factor in the final struggle, es-
tablishing liberty and peace to hui
man kind. Fred says that the people
of the East are alive to the ccndi-
lions and wide awake to their duty.
They are examples of patriotism to
us all. He modestly refers to the
fact that he will receive his appoint
ment as sergeant August Is, 1918.
He admires his captain, who, he says,
understands and inspires his men
with feeling of loyalty and love of
duty.
We feel very proud of these two
young men, for they are the kind
that will win the world for democ-
racy. A FRIEND.

In Memory.

On Sunday morning, July %, the
death angel visited the home of Mr.
and Mrs. j. w. Thomas and claimed
for it's victom their darling, Mary
Lee. She was a little over three
years old and was the pride of that
home. She leaves behind a heart
broken father and mother, two broth
ers and three sisters.
Funeral services were held at
Mount Olive by Rev. Stigler and the
little body was laid to rest in the
Old Republican Cemetery.
At morning as shadows were gather
ing
And birds from their nests had
flown;
Twas then the Savior was calling
For Mary in His heavenly home.
She suffered long in agony,
But her pain on earth was no
When she heard her Savior calling,
She passed to the shining shore.
Now she's asleep in Jesus.
Her battles are waged end won.
She has followed the Savior's path
way.
His will on Garth will be done.
Weep not, father and mother,
Brothers and sisters, too.
Live so you will meet Mary,
When the roll call is anew.
You loved her oh so dearly,
And her smiling face you'll miss.
But she was too sweet to stay
In a wicked world like this.
She is now up in heaven,
And belongs to an angel band.
Some sweet day after while
You'll meet Mary in that land.

But his testimony before the sem
ate committee is rravely subject TO n
question OF sincerity. He is one Of
the members OF the United States

have known when he testified that
the shipyards OF tho dry states are
holding the record in rap!dlty Of out

Washington and Oregon are dry
states. The Seattle Daily Times says:
There IS about as much bona lde

and known At the time he testified be-
fore the committee that these yards
hold the record in completing ships

OF rivets driven and other items" This
fact Is reported by the official bulletins
of:the emergency feet corporation.
In his testimony before the senate
committed Colby did not dare to
point out in an the country a single
shipyard whore liquor was used to IL
lustrate his opinion Of efficiency.
There were none, and this fact was
thoroughly known to Mr.. Colby.
The report OF the National Coal as

the same committee declared that the
output OF mines where liquor is not
used showed an increase Of rs per
