Our Future

In the passing of my rather, Mr.
l.. T. Alexander. who, since March,
1911, has owned and published the
Lincoln County Times, we feel in a
small measure some of the RESPONSE
bility placed upon us, and while since
childhood | have at various times
assisted Father in the affairs of the
office, the responsibility and man
agement was solely with him. al
though for the past year these duties
have become more devolved upon me
until the last six months when
TOOK full charge. Father, owing to
his illness not being able to have the
worries nor care, was unable to assist
me with his good advice.
/ will. in my humble way, en-
deayor to carry on the business in a
manner laid out by my father and
Will make an earnest endeavor to fill
the void occasjoned by his passing.
Being only humane, we are liable
TO err at times, but we trust our
friends will bear with us and render
us such assistance as they can to
keep The Times up to the high stand
ard ii now bears. There are no ques-
tions of a local nature of any vital
importance here to be discussed at
this time; the main issue with all
communities at present is to see that
their locality is pure American and
also, to see that we are all doing
our best" in this great conflict and
our columns are always open to sug-
gestions as to the best way in which
to bring about our aims.
The ownership of The Times will
be in the name of Emma ]. Alexan-
der. The duties of publisher and
manager will be looked after by her
son, A. c. Alexander.
Yours truly,
A. c. ALEXANDER

An Absent But Patriotic People

On last Monday b. o. Hill receiv-
ed the following telegram which
speaks of the patriotism of the send
err as well as to show that he still
holds Jerome as his home. The tele-
gram follows: "B. O. Hill. Your let

Five Thousand Dollars third Liberty
Loan bonds and Two Thousand for
Mrs. MacWatters. Hope Jerome will
go over the top by big margin.
am member of committee working
in this city to raise over two millions
which will be oversubscribed. Sign
ed. d. C. MacWatters."
And this is not all. as Mrs. McWat-
ters. who is member of our local
Red Cross chapter. very frequently
sends knitted articles here to be for
warded with the Jerome boxes. These
are her own work and the material
is purchased by her. Hurrah foi
Mr.. and Mrs. McWatters!

Called to Rest

1t is with a feeling of regret that
we are called upon at this time to
chronicle the death of one of Je-
rome's young men. whose passing oc-

the subject of this article, was one
of those noble. good young men, the
loss of which while most keenly felt
in the home is also a great loss to
our community. Stricken II
when just in his manhood. with all
the brightest of prospects. the1 Idol
of a fond father and comfort of a
loving mother and sisters. makes this
passing the more sad.
Stanley came TO Jerome early in
1908, attending the first public school
held here and continued his studies
until graduation. being a member of
the first graduating class-that OF
1913. After completing his studies
here he attended the University OF
Colorado at Boulder. completing the
four-year course in Electrical Engi-
neering and graduated with honors
with the class of 1917. On the COM
pletion OF his studies he was offered
some very flattering positions. but
saw fit to decline them in the hopes
of rebuilding his health which had
been impaired by overwork at school
Not long since his father and he bar
gained, whereby the former would
furnish funds against the latter's
time for trip to California in hopes
of more speedy recover. After
three months spent there Stanley re-
turned home, and while there were
times that he appeared better. the
complete restoration to health was
not to be his, even though to the
very end he was his keen. bright, pa
tient. cheerful self.
Stanley Reed was born at Nebras-
ka City. Neb., January 10th, 1895
being a little over twenty-three years
of age. There is left to mourn hi.
passing the fond parents and two
loving sisters, lrma and Helen. al
of whom were present at the end.
The funeral will be held from the
home today (Thursday.l az p. m.
with interment at Jerome cemetery

Mr.. c. ID. Webster left here some
two weeks ago for the purpose-as
he gave his friends to understand.
to visit his parents at Greenville.
Tenn. Upon his arrival here this
week the secret crept out. as he
came accompanied by young lady
in the person of Mrs. c. D. Webster
While the visit might have been
to the parents the love VOWS made
by these two long ago were so strong
that they could not longer endure
the separation, they having been old
school-day sweethearts. The bride
was Miss Flora May Overholser. of
Greenville, Tenn. The groom needs
no introduction to us. as he has been
associated with Mr.. Harry Kilt for
the past few years in the manage
ment of the Progressive Market and
has a wide circle of friends who will
join The Times in wishing this
young couple all the joys of life.

CTANCERY COURT IN
IN SESSION THIS WEEK

The fall term of the chancery
court Of Grenada county has been
in session this week with Judge j.
G. McGowen of Water Valley pre-
siding. Land matters and estates
and the usual divorce grind occupied
the attention of the court.
This is Judge McGowen's first
term in this county since his unanl-
nous denomination last August, a
matter that the Judges many warm
and admiring friends in this country
take great pride in. Judge Nc
Gowen makes a very able Judge. In
the first place he is well versed in
the law and then there is no more
painstaking. conscientious chancellor
IN the state than he. The orphan
and the widow whose funds mus,
pass under his review may rest as
sured that nothing will be left un-
done by him to guard their interests.
aside from judicial matters, Judge
llcGowen is a Christian gentleman.
He IS not a neutral character about
anything. In his county ne IS one OF
the leaders in every good work. tLe
district Is fortunate indeed ~ hay
inc such an able just and ur .'rh-
Judge.

Blount and they thought Mr.. Ca
rothers was present at the last ses-
sion OF the legislature. Now II the
people in these parts were wrong

he was "at" when his constituents
