HOLD TO THE FACTS.

HOLD IL AID.
Since the entrance of the United States into
the world war the cry has been to those at home
TO give their encouragement to those who fight
to do their part in keeping up the morale of the
men at the front.
Today the people of Pensacola are on the fir
ing line. They need courage They need faith.
They need the fighting spirit. Unless the morale
of the fighting forces is maintained, we can not
win out over the conditions which we are facing.
There is not man, woman or child in this
city who cannot help in this fight.
Those who are sick and are unable to get as
sistance can do their part by reporting at once
to their district chairman, in order that the dis
ease may be taken in hand at once. Those who
are well can do their part by giving their support
to the work that is being done in Pensacola
And everybody can help by refraining from
exaggeration of any kind. During the past few
days number of reports of deaths of well-known
people have swept through the city, carried from
one to another and causing alarm where there
was no occasion.
The situation in Pensacola is bad enough at it's
best. But if people allow themselves to be swept
into a frame of mind that makes fact of every
falsehood, the morale of the fighting forces will
be entirely disintegrated.
There is in Pensacola today who does
not realize the gravity of the situation we are
facing. There is no one who will not admit that
3le situation is bad at it's best. But there is no
one who can deny that the people are aroused
to their civic responsibilities, and are making
every effort to check the spread of influenza in
this section.
Going about and relating stories of the deaths
of people who walking the streets of the city,
who, having been i'll, are on the road to recov-
cry, does not help matters.
Fear is negative. Courage is positive We
need all the courageous people who are willing to
get into this fight and FIGHT. Anybody can go
out and talk. Anybody can stand on street cor
ners and detail horrors.
Let the man or the woman VIII OILS busy circu-
lating false reports as to deaths and conditions,
spend their time helping to remedy conditions.
The place to report tragedies is to headquarters.
The place to tell narrowing stories is to your dis
| trict chairman or to the central committee. The
thing to do is help work out this problem, and
build up the morale of the people of this city
There was never time when Pensacola so
needed men and women to work, to have faith, to
have courage, to have conservation to service
If you think conditions are bad in Pensacola,
don't spend your time talking about it, but do
something to correct it.
What is needed is work not talk. Nurses are
wanted. Help of all kinds is wanted. Get busy
and help Don't stand idle and hinder by relat-
ing sad stories and exaggerating things which
are bad enough at the best

One of the curious facts brought to light in the
war is that only unwounded men suffer from shell
shock. Eminent surgeons say that wound neu-

nerves do not affect wounded man in the same
way as an unwounded one.

For Representative.

Mr.. Jim Albert Howard of Num-
Der Seven, announced last week his
candidacy for Representative from
Obion County in the State Assembly.
Mr.. Howard is member of the Obion
County Court, county surveyor and
has been connected with the public
affairs of his own district in an &C
tive way. He is well known citi-
zen, with business relations and
family connections that contribute
to his personal advantage. He is
making the race as Democrat,
abiding the action of the party, and
pledges, if chosen, to protect the in
terests of the people-the masses
before the law-making body of the
State. We take the kindest pleasure
in presenting the name of Mr.. How
ard to our voters.
Mr.. Howard will have more ex-
tended notice in next weeks paper,
stating his position on local and
State issues and public questions.

Russia. There are 170,000,000 Rus
sions and of these only 100000 are
Russian Jews. But in government
the Russian Jew has controlling
power, sixty or seventy per cent ma
jority. Therefore the unsettled con-
ditions in Russia. If the Jewish
rulers are wise in statecraft then
Russia may be a free country, but
unless they exercise this wisdom
Russia may grovel in darkness for
centuries. England and America
need to extend the Russians help
ing hand in these extremities.
Sir John proceeded to the condi-
tions in France and paid glowing
tribute to General Foch, the Franch
armies and the French people them
selves. He also devoted little time
to the English soldier, who, he says,
dislikes notoriety, and for that rea-
son has not been generally known
in the equations of the war. The
participation of English, who were
thrown into the struggle without
preparation, was matter of his
torical fact. They have had seventy
per cent of the casualties and when
the Germans were driven back from
the Marine, it was the English troops
who took the offensive.
The English Navy is not adver-
tised and hence the criticism. Why,
says Sir John, the English Navy has
stripped the seas of German COM
merce, has defended the coasts of the
allied and neutral nations and has
kept the German High Fleet bottled
up in the Kiel canal.
Sir John spoke of Americans but
it is impossible to cover the speech.
He was listened to with marked at
tention.

An Enjoyable Occasion.

On Wednesday, the 10Th of June,
quite a number of the friends and
neighbors of the Pleasant Valley vi
cinity made a little surprise visit to
the hospitable home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Cole. Those good old people
gave each and everyone of the visit
ors a CHEEKY welcome. Then after a
period of an hour to rest and cool
and exchange complimentary re-
marks for and with those that for
tune favored to be there, VIC were
invited to the dining room where a
most elegant and artistically ar
ranged dinner awaited us. l know
all who chance to read this little
preamble will agree with your hum
BILE writer that system and order
adds greatly to the enjoyment of any
occasion. There wcs only one thing
I noticed that was overlooked. That
was some lovely flowers in the yard
-old-time holly hooks, pure white
and beautiful roses; but it might
have been they were too crowded for
flowers. The table was grooming
under it's burden with good things
and the fat of the land. After din
ner was served the crowd assembled
out in the cool, grassy yard and dis
cussed the work of the Red Cross,
agreeing upon both the organization
and auxiliary.
Our friend and cousin, Mrs. w. G.
Farris, agreed to furnish sewing
rooms in her nice roomy home at
Maple Slope. The leaders of the or
ganization were Mesdsmes Farris,
Harris and Posey, and several others
1 think joined them in the work.
Those present were about forty in
number, including the children. The
friends were ell in sympathy with
those good old people in giving up
their only son, Walter, to serve in
this cruel war.
There is one more feature I will
mention that was very refreshing
and enjoyable. 1t was the ice cream
and cake and cold drinks served.
Mrs. Cole very literally gave nice
quilt. The proceeds to go to the
Red Cross.
