Atrocities Beyond Description.

HERTLING GETS WISE

From the speech Of Count Won
Hcrtling before the main commit.
tee Of the reichstag last week we
learn several interesting things.
In the first place, the kaiser is
a very pronounced pacifist; he
loathes war from the very bottom
Of his soul and only took up the
sword because Germany's enc
mics drove him to it. Who was
the guilty guy who started the
thing9 Enter now new actor
on the scene, dragged from his
grave to be made the goat-the
late King. Edward Of England,
jolly, good-natured soul. "The
world war was prepared years
ago by the well-known cncircling
policy Of King Edward" says the
Hon. Won Hertling.
We haven't time to defend
King Edward and we question
whether that deceased sovereign
needs any court proceedings to
acquit him of the charge. We
pass on to the next interesting
bit Of information which the Hon.
Won Hertling hands out. ''The
widest war fury is at present
raging in the United States. y
Right-o, Hert-you'vc grown wise
at last, America is hopping mad
fighting mad, every man, wo-
man and child in the country,
and even the dogs are on the war
path Incidentally, it might be
added TIA. we have had enough
to make us mad and we don't ex-
pect to get into a good humor um-
til we have evcned up the score.

press that the war party was

THEY NEVER COMPLAIN

minister in Dallas, from hospit.

DR.. Truett was describing some
scenes which he saw among the
soldiers Of the allied armies, par
ticularly the spirit Of the wound
ed men. He went through the
hospitals where men were suffer
ing in all the horrible ways that
the Imagination can picture
some victims Of gas, limbs gone,
flesh torn and burned, some eye
less but why delineate the details
Of The forbidding picture? The
American visitor talked with
many of these men. Listen again

Correspondents with the Amer
lean forces in the various sectors
in France send back reports simi-
lar TO that written by DR. Truett.
They tell of our boys going over
the top with a well, marching in
to battle joyously, needless Of
danger and death; they tell Of
wounded men who are happy be-
cause they have had the privilege
Of doing their bit toward smash
ing the monster Of militarism--
these men do not complain.
If not a word Of complaint
comes from the lips Of men who
endure all the hardships and ag-
Onies of battle, what shall we say
of the man at home who is dis
posed to murmur about any duty
which the war makes incumbent
upon him? Is it donating money
to the Red Cross or one of the
other war agencies? Is it buying
Liberty bonds or War Savings
Stamps? What do these things
count when placed in the balance
with the service and the suffer
ings of our soldiers?

capitalists. We are glad that
IIcrtling has at lasi found out the
truth
Another thing we learn from
the Hon. Won Hertling is that
Germany is exceedingly anxious
to enter into a world league to
preserve peace. We gather from
his remarks that this is one OF
Ilcrt's pet ideas. However, there
is one condition that he is partic-
uierly insistcnt upon in forming
such combination and that is
the protection Of small nations.
Oh boy. did you ever see such q
colossal exhibition of galll Ger
may tho protector Of the rights
of snall nations. On this matter
the Hon. Won Hcrtling says, "We
can forthwith and without re-
serve state that we have an en-
tirely clear conscience. " Now
here IS where you went lust
leetlc TOO far, Hcrt. If your con
science is clear after the rape of
Belgium, Germany is not fit to
move in good society but must
continue to slink about among
the criminal classes until we have
given her a thorough liclSin' and

Notice
To The People Of Greene County.

To the People Of Greene County;
! just want to answer Mr.. Sheely's
ad. which has been running in the
Greene county papers. | want to say
in the first place that he or his repre-
sentative has misrepresented the deal
which we made in regard to the York
Piano / bought of him. He sold this
piano to me at the time he mentioned
for $4,000 piano, but would let me
have it for $4,000, or otherwise,
$285.00 and my organ, for which he
allowed me $500, which would have
made it $4,000.
And, so far as Mr.. Draper is con-
cerned, I believe he is a straight man,
and honest and upright; at least he
has sold number of my friends and
relatives pianos and we are sure he
has an excellent piano and sells it
reasonable.
In regar dto the note given by me,
Mr.. Shelly has misrepresented it also.
And just want to say this for Mr..
Draper, he has not knocked any of
his competitors to sell his pianos so
far as we people know in this part
of the country, and there are those
who will testify to this statement, and
we who have bought Keller & Sons
pianos are not in the least sorry we
purchased from Mr.. Draper, as it is
a sweet toned piano. Signed,

of their daughter, Alta Florentina,

For the bridal occasion, the home
was very artistically decorated, the

and wearing her snowy wedding dress
of Crepe de Chine. They had as
their only attendants, Mr.. George
Wykle as best man, and Miss Verna
Hutton as brides maid, who wore a
dark blue taffeta suit with touches of
white. Immediately after the cere-
mony, an elaborate three course sup
per was served.
Only few relatives and friends
were in attendance at the marriage
of these popular young people, among
them being Mr.. and Mrs. Davis and
Miss Pauline Glover, of Greeneville

sit in the grape arbor, very still, for
an hour or two and watch the shad-
ows of the leaves dancing in the sun
shine. And they would have simple
supper of eggs and bread and milk
and some sort of fruit, perhaps, and
then the ma nwho boght the farm
would take little ride on his horse
and go away again, back to the city.
He had done this for years, and
no one knew his name or where he
came from, They only knew that he
owned the farm and that he was al
ways pleasant and good-natured and
very ready to do his part in any
neighborhood work or improvements
by means of money,
There's little graveyard in one Of
the fields of the old farm, or at least
there started to be one there once,
and there's low grave with simple
cross on it, Nothing is written on
the cross but the name MARY
Below the name are carved the
words, with hand pointing upward;
"Thou knowest."
Some of the neighbors who have
lived in this part Of the country for
long time say that the young daugh-
ter of the old owners Of the farm
was buried there many, many years
ago, before the family sold out and
went West.
The well-tO-do man had quite an
impressive funeral in town. His
widow wore a beautiful and very ex-
pensive dress of the heaviest crepe,
and his children were in black, too,
and some Of the most important men
in the city were pallbearers.
They buried the well-to-do man in
a magnificent cemetery, and no doubt
there will be fine monument at the
head of his grave.
wonder if he wouldn't rather have
been buried in the brown earth beside
the little grave in the meadow that
is part of the old farm he bought
and never told anyone anything
about.

MAKES SACRIFICE
FOR RED CROSS

Mr.. 7. N. King,
Greeneville, Tenn,
Dear Mr.. King
We congratulate you upon having
given your consent to the Company
to use the amount of money they
would have spent in giving you the
S200,000.00 Field Club trip to equip
an ambulance corps to be sent to
France.
We note the former trips you have
made to the Field Club meetings have
cost the Company approximately
$3.50 each, and in your expressing
your willingness to sacrifice the trip
so the money could be spent in equip
ping this ambulance corps, you have
made sacrifice of your own perso-
nal pleasure, which represents about
$25G.0A in actual money.
We also commend you for your pa
triotic response to Mr.. Dexter's APP
peal, and we congratulate you upon
the large number Of liberty bonds
which you purchased and also for the
efforts which you gave to the selling
of the three issues of these bonds
We think the equipping of the am
bulance corp by the Mutual Field
Life Club was one of the most COM
mendable things they could have done
an dyou have certainly done your
share in this respect, and we sure that
you will get many times the amount
of pleasure out of making this sacri-.
flee as you would have out of the trip,
itself. In these critical times the
country is calling for sacrifices from
every one, and it is a source of con-
siderable joy to us to know that we
have representative in Greene coun-
ty, who not only represents the Mu.
tual Life in name, but also represents
the Company's attitude toward the
Government at this time, for you
have not only been very liberal in CIV
ing your time, but your money as
well to assist the country at a time
when it needs the best services of
every one of its citizens. We wish
for you much more of this continued
success and prosperity, which will
only be a just reward for what you
have done in the past.
Yours very truly,
]. D. TORY, Manager.
