Harry Mclaughlin, known as the
modern apollo" makes his appear
ance on the stage again, as a member
of the cast of Follies Militaire, the
big army extravaganza which comes
to the Sugg theater on Friday night
Mclaughlin forsook the footlights last
year to join the National Guard on

has been with the company ever since
that time, and has scored heavily at
his every appearance.
McLaughlin's act consists of a Sc

Whereas, God in loving providence,
has removed from our midst John c.
Moore, and bowling to the decree Of
Sin who does all things well, we re-
cord the fact that our community has
lost the inspiration which comes from
the life of an upright and a noble
ran, the family has lost loving and
devoted husband and father, the
church has lost a member who was
noted for his devotion to its work,
tnd an humble and devoted followed
of the Prince of Peace, has heard
his Lords voice and has followed on,
and our loss is his eternal gain.
Therefore be it resolved by the
Council of Defense of Slower commu-
nifty that our deep and sincere sym
pathy is hereby rendered to the fam
lily Of Brother Moore in this hour OF
their bereavement and that we pray
their hearts may be comforted by the
Almighty Father and that even in
