GET A CERTIFICATE.

The announcement in The Herald
OF Tuesday Of the unfinished condi-
, ton aof numbers of the marriage rec
sords in the county court clerks office
has caused many requests both in
person and by telephone to the clerk
to look UP certain marriage records
This Is request that cannot be
compiled with very easily and the
public should not ask it of the clerk,
but the best and the simplest way,
sAnd the safest method is to go In
person to the county court clerk and
secure a properly signed marriage
certificate. The cost will be small,
and the satisfaction Of holding a GER
,fificate will ten times compensate the
cost OF securing it.
:, IL. when calling at the office you
should find that the licenses have not
been returned and signed for, you can
then get busy after the party who
performed the ceremony. 1t is essen.
thai that this be done, but do not ex.
.pect the county court clerk to do it
all, lend him some assistance.

ITALIAN PATRIOT
AVENGED AT LAST
BY HENRY WOOD

by HENRY WOOD
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WITH THE ITALIAN ARMIES
AFIELD, Sept s. (By Mail AFTER
SO years, almost to the very day, fate
has seen to it that Italian vengeance
which is long suffering but never for
getting. has been satisfied and the
martyrdom BY Austrian gendarme3 Oh
Ciceruaechio, an ardent Roman pa
trit, is now avenged on the books OF
Justice.
In August, 1849, following the tragic
retreat of Garibaldi over part of the
same territory where the Italians are
again fighting Austria Tor complete
national and racial freedom, Ciceru-
acchio was taken prisoner. Through
the initiative of an Austrian gendarme
official he was given a summary court
martial and quickly executed. A lit
tie later orders to suspend the SEN
tence came from higher authorities.
A little tablet at Porto Tolle on the
lower Pc marks the spot where Ciciru-
acchio paid the penalty to Austrian
hatred for his efforts in behalf OF
Italian freedom.
His death, like that of thousands OF
other Italian patriots who have suf-
fered a similar martyrdom at Austrian
hands. went unavenged until August
of this year.
On the morning Of Aug. rs, during
a raid by Austrian airplanes, on towns
back of the Italian front, an Austrian
airplane was brought down above
Porto Tolle and fell directly in front
Of the tablet concentrating the mar
tyrdom of Ciceruacchio.
The two occupants, an Austrian
aviation lieutenant and sergeant es-
Gaping from the machine, turned to
the tablet expecting to get an idea
OF their whereabouts, read it, and then
turned to find themselves in the
hands of Italian gendarmes.

THIS TURKEY is IN A
CLASS ALL TO HER SELF
MISS LIBERTY HAS LAID III EGGS
SINCE LAST APRIL AND is
STILL LAYING.

Mrs. Nelia Reavis, Of Bryant Sta
ton, Maury county, is the owner Of
the most prolific turkey hen in all
America. The Herald challenges the
world to produce anything that equals
the record Of this turkey hen. At this
critical time it Is nothing but right
and proper that this turkey should be
named Liberty" and Liberty is her
aacm and by such name she will be
known and looked up to by the Ameri-
can people.
Liberty started to laying early last
spring and after she had laid her first
clutch OF fifteen eggs aud vas show
ing signs Of bro1din5ss. ner mistress,
decided though that she would not let
hef set, but broke her ~ in order to
gee second clutch Liberty" be
gan early in April on her second
clutch, and up to the present time has
laid one hundred seventeen eggs,
117) and is still laying.
Liberty" is three years old and is
of the Bronze variety of bird, and on
the 14th day of this month she will
be on exhibition at the county fair in
Columbia.
In writing of this wonderful eur
key, Mrs. Reayis says: Her appear
ance will speak for her years work,
as she shows no sign of a. new dress"
Arrangements are being made to
have Liberty duly photographed and
her picture placed in the archives of
the county's history, and beneath her
name will be inscribed the greatest
American bird alive. Mrs. Reavis will
be requested not to sell this turkey,
but to propagate her breed all she can.
Each egg in proper season is worth
s1.O0.

"sLUM" IS GOOD ENOUGH
FOR MCINTYRE GIRLS
By FRANK ]. TAYLOR

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. 8. (By Mail)-"Its
been mostly SUM for the last couple
of weeks" was the way the Salvation
Army sisters, Miss Gladys and Irene
Mcintyre of Mount Vernon, N. Y, re
piled to the question as to whether
they had good food at the front.
Miss Irene, with her sleeves rolled
up to her elbows and flour spattered
over her apron, did the talking, as she
rolled doughnut dough and cut out
doughnuts, while Miss Gladys fried
them in the outdoor kettle they had
arranged over an open fire. They had
no stove at this "hut"
I'VE had to make the most of the
situation out here" said Miss Irene,
when we came out there was moth
ing to cook with at all. SO we built
a sort of campfire place. We haven't
made pie for 3 weeks, because we
haven't any oven. Wen be forgetting
how, II they don't get US an oven.
But the boys here get lots Of dough
nuts.
It's a little harder to work here
than where we were before. In the
daytime the only road to this little
battered town Is under constant obser-
walton of the boches, and it's impos-
sible to bring in supplies except at
night They don't bring any more
than necessary. So we've had little
fresh food or canned fruit-it's most
ly slum, just as the boys have, but It's
plenty"
"Slum" is army stew. The sisters
could have had SPECIAL food, a fact
they neglected to tell. But they re-
fused 1t, when the soldiers were denied
fresh food. "Slum" was good enough
they said.

JUDGE JAMES ]. MCKNIGHT.

In the death OF Judge James T. Nc
Knight Maury County suffered an ir-
reparable loss, Tennessee was depriy.

Gently been reelected Judge of the
county and criminal courts OF Maury
County. His progressive principles
and policies, coupled with his honesty
and firmness OF conviction, equipped
him as jurist par excellence.
While always ready to temper JUS
tice with mercy, the violator at all
times knew that his lawless acts
would be thoroughly scrutnized by
Judge Mcknight and deserved pun
ishment meted out.
Judge Mcknight was constantly
alert to the best interests Of his coun-
tyfand state, and every dollar of pub
he funds was worth not less than par,
aud was often at a premium, in his
hands. nv
this man among men possessed the
happy, faculty Of knowing and under
standing human nature, and Of know
ing how to deal with it. He was a
friend OF mankind. He encouraged
agriculture, industry and business pro-
gresss He advocated better highways
for the products OF the farm and the
factory to get to che markets, and as
arteries for closer trade relations be-
tween the rural and the urban popu-
latfons.

COW is practical sort of mascot, but
not very handy on forced march.
One machine-gun outfit is authority
for this statement.
When the machine-gunners were up
on the yesle river they captured cow
one day while pursuing the Germans.
They confiscated the cow. being I'M
able to locate the rightful French
owner.
There was a debate as to whether
Bossie's milk would be.of more value
than her meat, and the "milks" won.
So Bessie was towed in some ruins,
and fed when feeding was not too
risky.
Then came the order to go back-thc
outfit was relieved after a strenuous
weeks fightiagweek's fighting. Bos-
sic was a little slow for fast march
ing, and couldn't go in truck, as the
outfit did. Finally, couple of ardent
milk fans offered to walk back with
iossie to the rest positions.
1t was a long walk They had COW
cred so miles when the United Press
car last passed them. But Bessie
did her best in the way of milk, on
the way. and the machinegun boys
hope to keep her. though all the odds
of war are against them.

QUESTION ALL MUST ANSWER
Time Comes When Every Man VIII
Be Asked as to the Harvest He
Has Reaped.

Earth shows her harvest in pride Of
fullness or regret Of bitter poverty;
what is ours-we who also have had
our year7 AS the old phrase has It,
What fruits have we brought forthf
Man Is not bound to the seasons as
titled land is and needs no barn to
gather his soul in when autumn comes;
but, with the same plainness, he
either does not yield the values by
which mankind truly lives. When fall
closes down on summers parting the
greatest and the least of us have
either helped or hindered the perma-
nent welfare of our race. Mans own
business is to increase justice and
kindness; to make more of patience,
humility and courage; to see to 1t that
evil loses and that good is strength
ened in the unending conflict of those
forces. For the souls harvest home
1t is either tares or wheat there IL no
fallow ground. The sowing is unseen
Of others, and the reaper, also, but the
care and thought that go to the grow
ing of the crop are much the same.
But mans own harvest Is inflnity and
eternally more important than that
which he wrests from the field.-Col-
lier's.
