UNITED WAR WORK CAM

A very interesting preparatory to
the great war work campaign drive to
be launched November IL to Is was
held in Carthage last Saturday, the
particular purpose of which being to
perfect plans for carrying on the cam
paign in Smith county and cause this
county to be one of the first in the
state to go over the top. The meet
ing was called to order by the county
chairman, T. B. Read, who, after
few brief remarks, introduced Judge
J. NJ. Gardenhire. Judge Gardenhire,
in a few simple words, welcomed the
executive committee to Carthage, and
appealed in a touching and eloquent
manner to them to show their APP
probation of the boys in the trenches
by waglng an aggressive campaign
for the funds which are to bring COM
fort and cheer to them until they come
back home.
Then followed reports and plans
from district chairmen present. Sew
eral districts reported that they had
already gone over the top even be-
fore the date for tn BEGINNING of tn
campaign. Thos so reporting were
the 21st district, represented at the
meeting by Miss Cassie Duke; the
22nd district, whose chairman is Mr.
UlIlldIH OEaHSe5 ana the ISL us
trict, whose chairman is Prof. A. c.
Duggins. Other districts whose rep
resentatives were present and report
ed that they would have no difficulty
in going over the top were the 3rd

der and MIR. L. /. Hix; 5th, by Mr.

A BEAUTIFUL LIFE
COMES TO AN END

A cloud of sadness and deep sorrow
appeared over the town of Carthage
last Sunday morning, November 3,
1918, when the news of the death OF
Mrs. Nelson Fisher, which occurred
at her home, was announced. Mrs.
Fisher had been i'll only short time
and the members of the family and
he numerous friends of the communi
" were not prepared for the shock
She was apparently enjoying the best
Of health until late Thursday evening
at which time she became afflicted
with an attack of influenza. This
trouble rapidly developed into pneu-
.nonia, but it was thought she was
enduring her lines with strength
until Saturday evening when it was
realized that her condition was be-
coming serious, and in spite of al
hat loving hands and skilled physi
clans could do she breathed her last
about $3.50 o'clock Sunday morning.
In the death of Mrs. Fisher truly
beautiful life has come to an end, anC
carthage has lost one of its most ex.
,ellenJ women. A devoted wife and E
loving mother has been taken from
one OF the most cheerful and pleas
ant homes in this community. Mrs
tlsher had been a member of the
Methodist church since her girlhooc
and was the true type of a christian
Woman, and in her passing away the

aimed a very great loss. She always

She took an active interest in al

DEMOCRATS WIN IN THE
STATE BY GOOD MAJORITY

In the election last Tuesday the
democratic won out with the old-timC
majority of something like $4,000
Gohn K. Shields for U. S. Senator
Judge A. H. Roberts for Governor
and Harvey H. Hannah for r. r
Commissioner, defeating their Re
publican opponents easily. Cordell
Hull for Congress, Lon Mcfarland fol
State Senator, and w. C. Wilson for
representative were elected without
opposition.
The vote throughout the state was
unusually light, and in Smith county
he republicans polled something like
$50 votes while the democrats only
,oIled something like 1900. A com
0lete detail of the vote in each dis
ret will be published as soon as the
.xact figures can be obtained.
AS a result of the election las;
Tuesday it appears that the republi-
:ans have won a majority in the low
n house of congress, however, the u
s. Senate is close and both democrat.
md republicans are claiming a ma
jority.

MRS. E. w. MCCLELLAN
SUCCUMBS TO PELLAGRA

Vira, beloved wife of Eugene w.
Mcclellan, died Monday, October A.,
1918, at o'clock p. m. at her home
in Carthage. Funeral services were
held by Rev. ]. L. Smotherman early
Wednesday morning at the residence,
from which the remains were convey
ed to Donoho where they were laid to
rest in the Mcclellan family grave
yard, after further services had been
neld by Mr.. A. A. Meador of that
place.
Mrs. Mcclellan was born a daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Donoho
she spent her girlhood days. In De-
cember, 1897, she was married to E..
w. Mcclellan and moved to Donoho,
where they lived until their removal
to Carthage five years ago. To this
union were born four children, Max,
Valley, Hortense and Remona, all of
whom survive. In addition to her
husband and children, step-son, E..
G. Mcclellan of Donoho, and the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters survive:
DR.. G. H. Donoho, Carthage; ]. NJ.
and J. S. Donoho and Mrs. G. T. Hol-
is, Portland; HI. N. Donoho, Punta-
gorda, Fla; MRS. Elmer Meador, Tue
son, Ariz.; Mrs. H. c. Holland, Will
cite.
Mrs. Mcclellan enjoyed splendid
health until August, 1917, when she
contracted pellagra. Although no
medical attention was spared, she sue
eumbed after a long and brave fight
for life. At times, however, she would
De much better and hopes were held
out for her recovery. And even on
The day she died, members of her fam
lily thought they noted a decided i'm
provement and death stole in unex-
pectedly, thus ending a beautiful life
almost without struggle.
AS a young lady, as a wife and as
a mother, Mrs. Mcclellan was dearly
beloved and highly esteemed and, III
ner passing away, the town, the
Christian church, of which she was e
member, and her friends everywhere
have sustained an irreparable loss.
Her absence, of course, VIII be more
deeply felt by her children and her
husband, whose deYotions were mark
ed with fidelity, tenderness and pa
tience throughout her long illness
they, however, can be comforted in
the knowledge that they gladly and
with pleasure administered to her
every need, doing all within their pow
ar to relieve her suffering and restore
her health. They have widespread
sympathy in their great loss.

Agricultural Day Abandoned.

On account of an accumulation o.
adverse circumstances the Executive
Committee of the Smith County Agri
cultural Day has decided that it is
.ecessary to abOndon the agricultural
lay for the present year. The infuen-
a epidemic, which still prevails ir
some sections of the county, together
with the unusual amount of sickness
If other kinds first made it necessary
o postpone the day from the Origina
late. Then came two weeks of bao
Weather, which, with the sickness, de-
aged farm operations and especially
corn gathering and wheat sowing, till
t will take every minute of the farm
RS time to get the Victory Wheat
Crop. These things would still furth-
er postpone the celebration till the
weather will likely be unsettled and
he raods practically impossible.
The Executive Committee wish to
thank the district committeeman who
raised the funds that would have
made the Day Possible. The Treasur-
ar will send a check to each District
committeeman for the amount re-
,eived from him, with the request
hat he return it to those who SO
generously contributed. Those who
contributed to the fund should apply
o Committeeman for amount contri-
buted.
1t is very much regretted that it
has been found necessary to abondon
the celebration, but it is thought that
It will meet the approval of the think
ing people of the county. 1t is hoped
hat conditions will be more favorable
another year, and that Agricultural
Day may be held as a celebration OF
Victory and Thanksgiving for Peace

TWO CARTHAGE BOYS
VICTIMS OF INFLUENZA

Ferdinand, son of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
W. Lawhorne, and Kirk Finn, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Finn, of Carthage.
The remains of Ferdinand, who died
November 3, were Inferred in the
Hodges grave yard on the South Side

Young fellow, in the pink of health,
and just little more than 16 years

Turing vacation. he could be seen
working with his brothers with the
Standard Oil Co. His death was a
great shock to his parents and other
members of the family.
Kirk Finn, also, was in good health

veloped pneumonia and quickly ended
his life. The remains were cpnveny-
I'd to Celina for interment. He was

Dloyce of the Carthage Produce Co.
To these bereft families, deep sym
