The hearts of Mr.. and Mrs. E. H.
Carter and their Children, relatives
and friends were deeply saddened by
the death of their little son, Thomas,
aged sixteen months, which sad event
occurred at their home on Church

O'Clock.
The little fellow was taken violently
/ i'll Monday afternoon and everything
possible was done by the physicians
called in and the tender nursing of
/ the mother and nurse to save his lit
tie life, but God, in His infinite wis
dom, decreed otherwise and the baby's
| eyes were closed in the sleep eternal.
| The father was on business in New
York City and was Immediately tele-
graphed for and hurried back with
the hope that he could once again
press his baby to his breast while life
remained, but the little life had
! flickered out before he reached home.
| Little Thomas was just at the in
teresting age and was the joy Of the
home and the pet of the neighborhood.
He was full Of life and sunshine and
made brighter the hearts of all who
knew him.
His going away is heart breaking
| to his loved ones, and yet they will
always be glad Of the joy and bless
ing his precious baby life brought to
them and the heavenly home will
seem nearer and more beautiful and
real with their own cherub awaiting
them.
The. funeral services were conduct
ed from the residence by Rev. J. J..
Cloar. The interment was made in

being banked with flowers sent by
loving friends.

ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF DlSLOYALTY
Two Holy Roller Preachers Now
Languish in the County Jail.

| John Higginbotham, of Arkansas,
and John Alliston, of Kentucky, were
arrested the past week in the Union
neighborhood south of Plantersville
on the charge of advising young men
of the draft age that if they would
become members of their church, the
Church of God In Christ, or Holy
Rollers, they would not have to go to
the war when drafted. Higginbotham
and Alliston blew into the Union sec
ton some time since and begun
preaching their unpatriotic doctrine
among the young. Their meetings at.
tracted attention and finally the mem
bership began to grow, especially
among the young fellows who were
not disposed to answer Uncle Sans
call for soldiers. The sect indulge in
excessive expressions of religious
fervor, shouting, dancing and rolling
on the floor, going into frances and in
many ways losing control of them
selves for the time being. The good
citizens finally took look into the
new doctrine and decided that some
steps should be taken to stop the un-
patriotic utterances of the strange
preachers. The matter was reported
to the officials and the arrest of Hig-
ginbotham and Alliston followed. Not
being able to make bond they were
placed in Jail here and will have a
hearing before the federal authorities.
The men are densely ignorant and
are not able to see they are trans
crossing the law of the land when
they preach such doctrine as they
have been propagating.

-W.S.S.-
DESERTER BROUGHT IN

On Monday morning Sheriff Trapr
had message from Maj.-Gen. Will
liams commanding Camp Pike, di-
recting him to arrest and hold Robert
leserter from the ma
tional army. The message stated that
Anderson could be found about Bel
den. The father of the young man,
Charles Anderson, lives in Pontotoc,
and Mr.. Trapp expecting to find that
he was at the home of his father tele-
phoned to Sheriff Frank Woods and
the latter came to Tupelo immediate
ly. Monday afternoon the two sher-
ifs, accompanied by John Filgo and
Elzie Carr, deputies, started for the
Anderson home two miles west of
Belden Finding that the elder An
derson was at the home of Mr.. Noah
Riley, the posse stopped and upon in
curing of the young mans father if
he was there the latter stated that he
was not at the house. Believing that
he was some where about the prem
ises Mr.. Trapp insisted that Mr.. An
derson bring his boy up. Finally
yielding he called to the boy, who was
in hiding in nearby thicket and the
latter came out and surrendered. He
was brought to Tupelo and lodged in
jail. He will be delivered to an Of
fcer who will take him back to Camp
Pike.
1t seems that young Anderson left
Camp Pike about two months ago.
He applied for furlough and failing
to get it he came home where he has
remained. 1t is an unfortunate oc-
currence for the young man and his
experience may be bitter one for
him before he is through with it.
Uncle Sam will stand for no Stacking
nor deserting and it is well enough
for the boys in the army to learn this
before it is too late.

byterian church service flag contain
ing. the names Of twenty young men

of Gloria by the congregation fol
lowed by an invocation by the pastor,
Mr.. Scott. The congregation then
sang America and lessons was read
from the scriptures The choir rem
dered the Liberty Anthem and the
Star Spangled Banner was sung by
the congregation. Here the large flag
containing the names was lowered
from it's station by Miss Mary Rob
ins and the presentation speech was
made by Hon. S. P. Clayton, who
spoke in enthusiastic terms of the
character and services of the young
men who have gone out in the service
of their country. AS Mr.. Clayton
called the names of the boys Mrs.
Paul Allen uncovered the stars which
revealed a background of blue, the
twenty stars representing the boys in
whose honor they had been pinned on
the flag. The Roll of Honor con-
tanned the names Of twenty of Tu-
pelo's most prominent young men.
A Solo, "When the Boys Come
Home" was feelingly and sweetly
sung by Mrs. E. NJ. Topp.
Hon. Jordan M. Boone, of Corinth,
was then introduced by Mr.. Scott and
delivered the address of the occasion.
Mr.. Boone opened his remarks by
stating that the time Of debating
about the war was over, that we are
in the fight and must win it, and II,
after we have won the war, anybody
cares to discuss the causes that
brought us into it, they could do it
without hurt. to the cause, but right
now it was fight and fight to win. He
paid his respects to the Stacker in un-
mistakable terms and said that the
man who was not for the government
was against it and should be treated
as an alein enemy He said that the
time had come when everybody, re-
gardless of who it might be, should
be put in the service Of the govern
ment and made to work at whatever
the government deemed best to ad-
vance our cause in winning the war
in the shortest time possible. Mr..
Boone made deep impression on the
large congregation by his fervid ap-
peal for unity of support for the ad-
ministration. Little Misses jamie
Topp and Bessie Kincannon concluded
the program by singing the popular
song Keep the Home Fires Burning I

The services at the Baptist church
which begun Sunday night by force
full sermon by the pastor, Mr.. Cloar,
and sermons by DR.. R. G. Bowers, of
Paducah, KY, are attracting large
crowds at both the morning and eve
ming services. DR.. Bowers reached
here Monday afternoon and in his
first sermon that night he talked on
the subject of prevailing prayer, using
as his text the scripture where Jacob
wrestled with the angel and would
not let him go until he blessed him.
With this thought he impressed his
hearers with their duty in connection
with the meeting and urged everyone
present to not fail in calling on the
Lord for blessing during this meet
ing.
DR.. Bowers has the reputation of

appeals find lodgment in the hearts

will continue through the second Sun

church affiliation, and especially those
who have no affiliation with any re-
ligious denomination, are invited to
come to the meetings.
The song services are conducted by
Charlie Butler, noted singer of re-
