For poison gas and ruthless submarine;
For cowar5s' blows and deeds of burning shame;
For nurses smittsn down at Mercys post;

T. j. Hill, Jr., of this city. Mr.. Nc
Roberts was chairman of the meet
ing. After each of the gentlemen
had given good reasons why every
one should buy bond, Mr.. J. s.
Hooker, chairman for this county of
the Liberty Loan Bond sale, asked
for buyers. r. Y. Ballard, was the
first to take bond and he bought
a $500-one. j. A. Hays was next,
who took S400 bond. Then came
Mrs. Reuben Curtis for one of $500;
L. G. Gooch $1,000; Mrs. T. c. Nor

The good people of that section say

first town to go tower the top" Let
Stanford, Hustonville, Mckinney,

close of the meeting the country
around was made to ring with

crowd with a zeal that was most be-
coming.
