BRISK TRADING IN
REALTY IN OCTOBER
SLIGHTLY LESS THAN SAME
MONTH OF 1917 BUT MORE THAN
PRECEDING MONTH.

Realty trading in October was brisk.
Maury county dirt has been flying as
a commodity of trade during recent
weeks. Records in the office Of
County Court Clerk Arch w. Lips
comb show that during October realty
transfers amounted to $333,590, as
compared with S201,S7O in the same
month of last year; mortgages last
month amounted to $131, 400 as COM
pared with $61,330 in October, 1917.
September with $S67,33O in realty
transfers was a little better than Oct
ober this year, while the total mort
cages in September was far below
October, being $35,S90. 1,
Marriage licenses issued during Oct
ober show a decided slump as COM
pared with the same month in 1917
the record for the two months res
pectively being 10 and 80. In Sept
e:nber of this year As marriage Ii
censes were issued.

GERMANY NEXT.

AT Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria have
surrendered. Germany next.
With her three monarchial allies
out Of the way Germany cannot much
longer stand the pressure Of the allied
forces. From the west the allies are
pressing the Huns back toward their
own soil. From the south and south
east the Italians, Serbians. Greeks
and troops Of the other allied nations
will be quickly consolidated and start
ed on an offensive against the German
rear.
Internal descriptions, already begin
ming, soon will break the power of the
German militarists and the collapse Of
the last of the central powers will be
complete.
Peace Is coming from one to two
years sooner than the most optimistic
hoped for when America entered the
war. and the result Of that peace is
going to be the establishment Of demo-
cratic principles Of government in
lands that have long existed under
medieval forms of government, lands
in which, without the war, democracy
would have been a century longer in
. emerging. a
All nations, even the defeated ones,
are turning with hopeful eyes to Amer
lea and beseeching President Will
son to intercede for them at the peace
council They are accepting drastic
armistice terms that are tantamount
to, unconditional surrender and beg
ging, for mercy at the hands of their
conquerors.
Great as he has been in the direc-
ton, of Americas forces in the war,
Woodrow Wilson is going to prove
himself still greater in the leadership
of the world toward reconstruction
OF social conditions everywhere.
Il; Germany will be the next nation to
beg Wilson to intercede for justice at
the peace council. But, no matter
what his attitude toward the other ma
tions may be-, he is not going to be
lenlent or unduly merclful toward
Germany, we believe, because all of
the horrors Of the war were instigated
By Germany and the Huns must bear
the punishment.

PEACE WITH AUSTRIA.

The slaughter has stopped along the
frontier regions Of Italy and Austria
The silence OF peace rests again upon
the war torn lands of Serbia and Bull
garia. Liberty and justice are within
the reach Of many peoples to whom
these human rights have never been
known. The sweet concord Of peace
already Is soothing the distracted
hearts and minds of the long Cypress
ed people of the Balkans and the
eyer-fearing people OF Northern Italy
In the final settlement with the
Austrians the American people will
not demand the same degree of sever.
ity that they will insist upon in the
peace terms with Germany. Italy
must be recompensed, it Is true, and
Serbia must enjoy the restoration
that Is due her, but the allies as a
whole will have no such score to set
tie with the ,Austrians as they have
against the Huns, While the Aus
TRANS as the servile allies of the Hun
will always be held in contempt by
decent nations, they will not be des-
pissed as will be their former masters.
for the people Of America will have
degree OF pity for them. Austria
should be given an opportunity to
prove whether that pity is deserved,
whether she is entitled to the mercy
that will be shown her.
From military standpoint, peace
with Austria should also mean a
speedy conclusion of the war with
Germany. The Austrians have been
defending the back door of Hundom.
They have kept guard at the rear
while the Huns have pillaged France
and Belgium. With Austria out of
the way it will be but-a matter of time
enough to organize the allied forces
for a drive through Bavaria before
Germany will have two fronts to de-
fend with an army that is not able
to defend one. The kaiser's talk of a
defensive war has been made an i'm
possibility.

BIGGEST DRAFT CALL
MADE ON MAURY COUNTY
1854 WHITE MEN TO ENTRAlN
NOVEMBER II, 1873 COlORED
NOVEMBER 10, 81.

During the five day period of Nov
ember Ills the largest number OF
selectmen drafted from Maury count
for the army will entrain for camp
Two official calls for 1S9 and Is men
have been received by the Local
Board. A call for SO colored men also
has been received, to be entrained
during the three-day period beginning
November TO- The white men will
90 to Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg,
Miss, and the colored men will go to
Camp Sherman, Chillocotches, Ohio.
Two calls for white men to entrain
on the same day were caused by the
call for the smaller number being de-
layed by the influenza epidemic.
The Local Board has no official in
formation on the subject, but press
dispatches yesterday stated that the
war department will not let UP in the
number of men shipped each day to
France until peace has been definitely
declared.
The 154 white men to be called will
come from the few remaining Class
registrants Of previous registrations
and 10 to SO year Glass l registrants

OUR NEXT DRIVE.

American patriots are expected to
raise during next week the largest
sum of money ever contributed to a
benevolent cause since time began.
Originally asked for $170,000,0O0 the
request has subsequently been made
for $3.50, 100000 with the approval Of
President Wilson.
This sum is nearly two dollars and
half for every man, woman and child
in the nation. But every dollar of it
should and will be raised Every cent
contributed will 60 to as sacred cause
as man ever contributed of his wealth
to support.
/ These funds will be expended for
the social, moral and religious uplift
of those who wear the uniforms of
the American fighters. Even If war
should end tomorrow the need for
supplying these funds for the purposes
for which they are asked would be
just as imperative as it is now. 1t
will be months, maybe years, after
peace comes, before all of the Ameri-
can soldiers enlisted for the, war, can
be restored to their homes. During
the period between a cessation of hos
tilities and their return home our sol
diers will need more than ever the
recreation, the diversion, the splendid
influence, the help and the comfort
of the Young Mems christian Associa-
ton and the allied organizations
which will participate in the cam
paign.
We want the returned soldiers to
come back to their homes fit morally.
mentally and physically, ready to re-
turn to the battle of life with the high
est and noblest conceptions of civic
and social duties. We have an oppor-
tunity to reach millions of men with
the finest message OF right living
that we have ever had and may never
have again. It is an opportunity that
Americans cannot and must not neg
lect.
Maury county is asked for $4,000.
Not less than $4,000 should be given.
The country has over 1000 men in the
armed service of the country. Sure
ly each and every one of them is
worth a baggardly contribution of
fifty dollars. Men and women should
give to this fund as sacred privilege.

IF PEACE SHOULD COME

Although it may be premature to
speculate on the possibility of peace
being consummated anyways soon,
still the action of Russia, and add
ed to this the utterances Of Pre-
mier Lloyd George and President
Wilson, have set many people to
wondering what would be the effect
on this country should peace be de-
clared.
This is contingency we should
be always ready to welcome. 1t
can work only good to us, and not
any harm. Those who pessimisti-
cally refer to "war profits" are
short sighted indeed. The business
of the United States is in mo- sense
dependent on war profits. True
much of the national energy is be-
ing put into war preparation, but
when peace is declared this force
will welcome the opportunity to
transfer to the arts of peace.
These have suffered neglect and are
in great need of attention.
We could stand a falling off in
prices of all commodities and be
the better off. We could also bene-
fit by an enlarged supply of every
thing that enters into the life and
activities of the people. SURPRISES
IN all lines have been swallowed up.
and even with the world at peace, it
would require years to reach the
point where the SURPRISES would
materially affect prices. This fact
is our guarantee that for a long
time to come the needs of the world
will call for our utmost exertions,
and at high prices.
The United States is not only the
great creditor nation of the world,
1t is also the supply depot of the
earth. All nations are now looking
to us for the implements of peace
