She was the mother Of sixteen
children and is survived by husband

A touching scene was that Of six OF

final resting place in Shiloh cemetery
Many beautiful floral offerings were
placed upon the casket as q final tri-
butte Of love and respect.
"For / am now ready to be offered

a crown Of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous judge, shall give
me at that day, and not to me only
4 but to all them also that love His ap-
pearing."-n Timothy, 1850.

Wheat yields in Cherokee county,
from the reports that are coming ins
seem to have been universally large.
Out at Faulkner the farmers were
faced for q time with serious matter
Of taking care Of the large crop Of
wheat. All Of the elevator storage
room was filed and cars into which
the grain could be loaded were not to
be had in sufficient number for q few
days. Several makeshift places were
prepared to get the wheat in out OF
the weather. It was feared last week
that threshing would have to be stop
ped, but the difficulty seems to have
been remedied. However, this gives
one some idea Of the large crop-hg-
ured at about 81 per bushel this 10
going to run into large sum of mon
ey for the farmer Of Cherokee eoun-
ty, which is one Of the leading wheat
counties Of the state. Many fields OF
wheat around Faulkner are reported
to have averaged 30 bushels to the
acre.

The question is asked us by reader
of the Daily Citizen: "Are we getting
all of the American casualty hst!"
As nearly as it can be given at this
time. Action Of the character such
as the Americans have been engaged
in for the past two weeks makes for
larger casualty lists than those who
have received to date. AS the lists
are compiled they will be given out
officially and published by the differ
ent press services of the country. One
news dispatch hints that it will take
some time for the government to list
the killed, missing, severely wounded
and slightly wounded and properly
classify so that the parents OF the
country may know the truth. 1t will
be understood that it takes consider
able military investigation to learn
whether q man is just missing or was
killed on the battle field. 1t also takes
thorough medical investigation to
diagnose a case to the point Of slight
ly or seriously wounded, and it takes
time. As we understand it, there is
immediate notification Of the parents
| by cable in this country in the case Of
death, but the name may not be pub
lished with the list for some days al
forwards. It must be remembered
that the Americans are on the often
sive and offensive action is certain to
run up a considerable casualty list
However, it is known the Americana
have not suffered any big losses %
men such as characterized the battles
of the earlier period Of the war wher
both sides lost amazing numbers Of
men. The Americans went into the
war much better prepared for the gas
than the French and the English, from
whom they had learned wisdom.

A pretty touch of sentiment in

loyal hands of two devoted French

a descendant of long line OF
French ancestry, in whom has been
kept alive for many generations
that most sacred flame of loyalty
to the tri-color of France.
The flag will be unfurled by Miss
Flo Dunwody. the young dsugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Adrian Dun-
woody. who was born in France, and
whose home, near Paris, ~E
among those razed to the ground
to promote the work of the French
troops.
Mrs Zeek and Mrs. Dunwody
were also requested to make the
flag which will be unfurled at the
federal building. but found 1t inn
possible to grant this request on
such short notice and the nag that

at the federal building has been
loaned for the occasion by George
Howe French consul at this port.
