Total of $4,000 Realized Af-
ter Lectures by Capt. john
son And Richard Hardy.

Mr.. Richard Hardy, a man of large
business affairs and vice-directir Of
the war work in this state, accompa-
MED by Capt. H. B. johnson Of North
Dakota, who was wounded three
times in the several years service he
has seen in this world war, aroused a
great deal of interest Thursday ev-
evening, March 2S, when they address
sed capacity house in the Circuit
Court room at the Court House.
Mr.. Hardy made business state
ment of conditions as they exist in
this war, using map, and showing
the territory the Germans now have.
Captain johnson did not display
any oratory in his delivery, but gave
a forceful talk because of the vivid
facts he gave concerning the expe-
riences in service. To those who
have not read "Over The Top" by
Empey, it was an eye opener to the
things our boys have to 60 through.
These excellent talks made it pos
sible for the local leaders to make
a drive totaling larger results than
at any other one time up to that
date.
Mr.. H. L. Bruce made the plea for
pledges for w. s. S., starting with
two subscribers to the $1,000 club,
several in the $3.50 club, ID in the
$500 and a representative number
in the 800 club, making grand TO-
tai Of $4,000.

WAR SAVINGS DAY ON
APRIL FIRST MONDAY
Was Great Success.-Mrs. Sam
Phillips OF Memphis Makes
Splendid Address.
DIXIE THEATRE PACKED
TO OVERLOOKING
Sale OF War Savings Stamps
And War Certificates AM
ounted To $17,OOO.OO.

1t seems there was nothing of more
importance to the general public
April First Monday than the sale Of
w. s. S. conducted by our able coun-
ty chairman of the Women's Work,
Mrs. Travis Morris.
Early in the morning found many
of our pretty girls on the streets tag
ging every one who bought Thrift
Stamps Of them. Grove High School
dismissed n the afternoon so that
the pupils could be Of assistance in
various ways. By one o'clock there
were 80 young girls, ladies and ma
irons, many of them wearing Red
Cross wells, and tagging blacks and
whites, young and old, in the road,
stores, and sidewalks, selling $1,000
worth Of stamps during the day. 1t
was surprising to find numbers of
adults who did not understand the
w. s. S. movement. 1t was also sur
prising to note the various values
placed on the movement, some poor
people doing their ''best," and some
well-to-do people not even doing
"bit."
The newspapers announced last
week that the big / o'clock meeting
would be in the court house, SO a
great deal Of confusion resulted when
the change was made to the Dixie
theatre because Of the better accom-
modations for the vast Monday crowd
However, by / 80 o'clock the theatre
was full to overflowing to hear Mrs.
Sam Phillips of Memphis, vice-chair-
man Of the State work, and chairman
of West Tennessee.
Mrs. Phillips has an unusually
pleasing personality, and her address
was brilliant summary of the infu-
ence and effects Of woman power"
in the w. s. S. and Liberty Loan
movements.
She started her address by ac-
quainting her audience with the fact
that she is wife, the mother Of three
children, gave number of Liberty
Bonds she and her husband have
bought, also $1,000 worth of Thrift
Stamps with borrowed money at 6

An Hour Behind Sched.
ule Time.

Although the First Monday of ev-
cry month is big day in Paris, the
first Monday in April is always looked
forward to with more interest and
greater anticipation than any Of the
others. On this day are the biggess
horse and mule sales, also all kinds
OF farm products are bought and sold
on the city square or connecting
streets, and the whole bnsiuess sec
tion is packed to the limit with peo-
pie, stock, vehicles, etc.
The merchants all had extra sales
help and report an aggregate sum Of
about $1,000 more sales last Monday
than April First Monday 1917. Judg-
ing from the smile on everyone's face,
happiness prevailed without disorder
or disappointment Of any kind to mar
it.
One Of the first things observed
was that many farmers turned their
watches up an hour upon hearing the
court house clock strike an hour
ahead Of their time. This started
many discussion about the new
time, and seemed to be common
topic for conversation, especially
when they discovered they had arriv-
ed in town an hour later than they
had planned to.
A large number who did not put a
snack in their pocket before leaving
home, were found hanging around
lunch room counters about noon, al
so in the basement of the Presbyte-
rian church, at the rear Of the post
Office where the ladies serve lunch

of young mothers with babes in their
arms, also old people, we're heard to
remark, "16sish l had a place to sit
down." or ~ wonder where my folks
are, I'm ready to 60 home"
About 4:30 a fast wind whirled the
dust pretty lively and the black
clouds indicated storm, but not
drop of rain fell in Paris, although
heavy rain and some hail were report
ed in some parts of the county, es-
pecially in the northeast. The hail
did little damage, only knocking of
few small pears.
The main streets Of the town look
ed Ike deserted village by six
o'clock, the most spectacular thing
about them being the tired clerks
and merchants hurrying to their
homes for Square" and quiet
evening at home; also the profuse
scstterment of paper and banana
peelings.
Mr.. T. B. Fairleigh, the pleasant
N. C. & st. L. ticket agent, stated
that he sold 357 tickets Monday af-
ernoon. It was reported that at least
100 were sold at Puryear that morn
ing, to Paris, and very likely large
numebr accordingly were sold at Ha-
eel, Whitlock, and Mansfield. OF
course the majority drove in.
Various estimates have been made
on the number here, ranging from
10000 to 10000.

All is now set for the great Third
Liberty Loan drive for $4,000, ,000,-
600 with its over subscriptions.
Every county in every state in the
Union, and every town and city in the
county, is listed at headquarters of
the Liberty Loan organization at St.
Louis and at the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington.
Each town, city and county has
had the quota of bonds it must take,
allotted to it, and each will be expect
ed and must take the bonds assign
ed.
The financiers everywhere expected
the issue to be much larger than the
So, 1000, 100000 required. Plans were
perfected for sale largely in excess
of this. Now with the organization
that has been effected the quota
should be subscribed in very brief
campaign.
Many counties and towns have ad-
vised headquarters that their quotas
are already pledged, and with little
work the oversubscriptions will reach
sumsthat will show the World that the
patriotism of the people has been
aroused to high pitch; will show our
allies across the water that the Uni
ted States may be depended upon
to do its part, and will demonstrate
to the kaiser andall Germany that
every man in this Nation and every
Dollar Of Am erica's wealth will be
enlisted in the war that is to sweep
Prussianism from the face of the
earth.
For the Third Liberty Loan Henry
County's quota has been fixed at
$157,Oo0. The county in the second
Liberty Loan had $4,000, for its
minimum; the target was 1928, 900,

THE ASSOCIATION CAMP

The camp meeting was of unusual
interest this year. From the opening
service the attendance was good and
continued to increase from day to
day ending with a great climax. 1t
is impossible to tabulate the results of
the meeting. There were more than
fifty professions during the ten days.
DIR. John Harmon, who was chosen for
the leadership of the Camp, is one of
the great men of Methodism and has
been a unique leader in the religious
life of the times. His services were
greatly owned and blessed of God to
the uplift of many. The Association
is to be congratulated in securing this
splendid leader for next years camp
which is to be held at the same date
as this year. All who heard DR.. Har-
mon this year will be glad to know of
his return. Rev. A. S. Clark has been
at the camp before and his acquaint-
ance facilitated his effort in render
ing a large service at the meeting.
The music was under the direction of
Rev. and Mrs. Mccoy. These people
have been leaders in evangelistic mu-
sic for years. Their, part of the SER
vice was the highest type in every
particular and it will please the peo-
pie who heard these musicians to
know that they will be with us next
year.
