Gone But Not Forgotten.

The death angel visited the home
of Mr.. c. c. Young near Terrell Sat
urday evening, Nov. 80, taking from
him his beloved wife, Minnie Lee
Young, age 33 years.
She was kind, indulgcnt wife and
mother and loved by ell who knew
her. All that loving hands could do
was done to save her. But God doeth
all things we'll. She was sick only
a few days of Spanish influenza and
pneumonia. She bore her sufferings
patiently. When death called her she
WAS ready to go, saying she was go
ing to see her darling baby-a little
boy of four years who died nine years
ago.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home of Mrs. G. M. Click. The
remains were laid to rest beneath
fiowery bed in Shady Grove burying
ground at Crockett. She leaves to
mourn her death a husband, five
small children, her mother, four
brothers and one sister and host of
relatives and friends. Let us say to
the bereaved ones: Weep not, for she
is not dead but only sleeping. Her
home is left sad and lonely.

From France.

Dear Mama: l will try and take
pleasure in writing you a few lines
to let you hear from me. This leaves
me well at the present, and l hope
this will find you all the same. l
received your letter yesterday and
was glad to hear from you.
Well, mama, you wanted to know
what we were doing. We ere giving
tho boches what they need. I've
been over the top several times, and
the good Lord has been with me.
We are now out resting for & few
days.
Mama, l have decided to be bet
ter boy than ever. Ifoanyone lives
to go thru this and is not, l don't
know what to think. 1t sure is aw-
full. l don't know anything to tell
you about the war, for they have
been talking about peace but it has
not come yet. I hope to the good
Lord it will come soon. We get some
boches every time we go. They use
their machine guns as long as they
can, but when we get pretty close
they hollo kamGrad with their hands
up. =
l would give anything in this
world to get home once more. There
is mover a day passed but what ]
think of home. Don't worry about
me taking up any bad habits, for
that don't bother me 1T all. l could
tell you more than a little if l were
there, but it seems like such a job
for me to write. If l ever get back
l will be quite different. I'm going
to be a better boy and do the best
l can. l dread to see bed weather
come for it is so hard on us. Well
mama, l don't know of anything else
to write, so take care of yourself and
| will do the sGme.

printing plant, not that it would
save so much money, but for the pur-
nose of doing some classes of print
ing that could not be secured at prl-
waite plants. For instance, there
were all sorts of signs and characters
that are needed in scientific and re-
search work not to be found in prl-
vate plants. These arc the things
that called for a public printing
plant. Now all these are supplied at
private plants.
Tennessee does not need public
printing Office to save its taxes. II
socialism was a cure for extravaganza
there might be an excuse for the
principle. On the other hand social
ism will lead us to wGste and ex-
travagance. If democracy must resort
to socialism to get the right kind OF
results then the excuse for the demo-
cratic party is a mighty poor one.
Wouldn't it be better to drop the
whole business and join the rcpub-
lican party. Of course 1 don't think
so. but l also do not think socialistic
substitutes are necessary.
This office does not get a solitary
cent of the State printing. We have
no axe to grind. 1t is merely an in
terest in the public veal which moves
us.
There is too much inclination on
the part of officialdom to distrust the
private interests or the people them
selves whom they propose to pro-
tect. After all the government be-
longs to the people, and for the Gov
eminent or State to gradually absorb
all kinds of business on the theory
that the citizens are not able to con-
duct it is to display a spirit of selfish
ness.
The item of $4,000 a year for
State printing may seem large, may
But when the State Legislature de-
cides to enter the printing business
the first step will be to acquire
plant. This will be an investment in
a building lot and construction and
them the equipment, which will in
all probability not be less than half
a million dollars. Then after that is
done the cost of the printing at sal
aries, which will be allowed the
operatives, the staff of officers, ad
fnitum al libitum, will be done as
it has been done by the Government,
more men, better salaries, more
votes, and finally it is q system of
political patronage which is costing
the State ten times $4,000 and the
end not yet.
There was a great howl when the
State two years ago voted bonds for
the University of Tennessee and the
State Normals. There will be an
other if this public printing plant
calls for moro bonds and increase of
taxes to pay the sinking fund and
interest on these bonds.
Europe he's been grooming under
this paternGlism and socialism, this
gradual absorption by government of
wealth and industry. Why cannot we
diSnlav a LITTLE common sense and
steer away from the evil. Must we
copy the very things which are de-
stroying the old governments and
impoverishing the people, or should
we not try to exhibit a little more
independent and original power of
thought and initiative.

I'm one case stray bullet shot
away q control, and the British ma
chine was forced to alight. The crew
were subsequently rescued by another
British seaplane which had been sent
to search for them"
The rescuing machine was manned
by Ensigns Benjamin Lee and j. ].

alton service. Ensign Lee gave the
Associated Press the following account
of the flight:
"Our commanding officer and two
men left the station at $3.50 In the
morning on flight toward the Dutch
coast. Shortly after sunrise they saw
on the horizon five spots which rapid
ly assumed the outlines of German
seaplanes.
"Five to one is hardly fight, so the
commanding officer, after q first diving
charge through the enemy's formation,
showed down the nose of his plane and
headed homeward. His two men fired
sharply from the after guns, forcing
the German scouts to keep their dis
lance. They We're getting away all
right, even leading the enemy into
dangerous territory, when suddenly a
chance shot from one of the Germans
took away control and the flying
boat crashed nose down. The three
men forght clear of the wreckage and
got hold of q floating spar, while the
Germans, realizing that they were in
dangerous country, scooted away
hOmeward.
at was four hours later, when the
patrol was long overdue, that we were
sent out to search for them. We
searched the horizon as we speeded
along eastward, covering, at the WISH
bility, band about twenty miles wide.
Finally one of us picked up a black
speck, which soon grew into piece
of wreckage with three men on it.
dropping our bombs at a safe dis
lance. we thrOttled down our motors
and landed near the crashed seaplane.
1t was delicate operation. but we
managed to taxi over to the wreckage
and pick off the -four men, meanwhile
sending back the good news by wire

officer had to make on his experience
