WANTS ITEMS OF
 BOYS WITH COLORS

The following has been issued by the Pine Bluff Public Library associa- tion:
 Your boy is making history, the lib rary is preserving it for him. Will you help?
 When war was first declared the library had not begun clipping, as it does now, items of interest to be filed, therefore much data concern ing the boys called to the colors is not in our possession.
 We now ask that any resident of the city, or county, who has a son, broth CT, or near relative in the service, to send the library clippings concerning their entering the army.
 Small unmounted pictures will add greatly to the war history which We are collecting. These will be careful ly preserved,
 Kindly send obituary notices of boys who have died in service, either in this country or in France, and copies of letters from boys who are in training or at the front
 Help in this, so that when the next history of Arkansas is compiled, our military honor roll will be complete. Do not let your boy come home and find that you have not been interested enough to attend to this for him.
 Make our boys feel that what they have done will go on record. The lib- rary is not asking this as favor, it is a debt that the community owes to their gallant men. It is hoped that all will respond to this promptly.
 Clipplings will be indexed, filed and bound and will become valuable as the archives of the county, and in after years all may know that Jefferson county men, the flower of the South, were among our nations bravest de- lenders.

Two Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was nameo In honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- cial patriotism and bravery. He was a sergeant in A South Carolina regiment And in the attack on Fort Moultrie. early in the war, the flagstaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works. Jump Ing from one of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors, tied them to a staff and held them in position under a bot fire until another hagstaff was brought. For this a commission was offered him but he declined 1t through distrust of his qualifications. On an. other occasion he and another sergeant named Newton attacked . British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty is named Newton in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georgia and a central square In Savannah help to perpetuate Jas per's name. He was killed at Savannah near the close of the war.
