BROWN HAS A SAY.

During the past week Grenada County has been
on the firing line Three weeks ago the people of
this county were given their orders to advance to-
the goal of $268, 100000. That was the objective
in the Fourth Liberty Loan. We should have at
tanned it within five days 1t should be matter OF
shame and humiliation to every loyal citizen OF
Grenada County that we have not yet done our duty
The Liberty Loan organization regrets to report that
the county is still than S5O,OOOO 90 short of its
quota.
1t is hard to believe that Stacker sentiment
exists in our county-a county that has proud
history, county whose sons are dying or the shell
shattered fields of France for the sake OF the same
principles for which asked to lend our money,
but the results stare in the face and make us
ashamed If Grenada County fails to subscribe her
quota of Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds 1t Will be
blight and disgrace that will shame as long as
time shall last If Grenada County fails to support
her heroes in France, how will face those
heroes when they return e to u.s. some Of them Grip
''Over There receive the that the folks back
home failed to support them in this great test OF
patriotism? Will it hearten them as they go into
battle and bare their breasts to the bullets of the
unspeakable Hun, will it make them disgusted
and ashamed the folks who cheered them when
they left and with tears in their eyes that they
would support them they fought and bled and
died?
Grenada County is on the crest of Of
the greatest prosperity that swept the
country On account of the conditions brought
about directly by the all farm products sell
ing from 100; to 300st more than before the
LabOrerS getting more money for day labor than
they ever dreamed of in times of peace. Now the
test comes We are asked to demonstrate whether
not the Germans were right when they said that
America thought too much of her dollars to send
them to The people of Grenada County have
chance to vndicate themselves in the eyes of the
world in contest between the sordid love of money
and the high principles of patriotism. Will they
fail? The subscriptions to the Liberty Loan will
determine whether not we are to be listed among
the slackers whether we are to stand in the high
places reserved for those who love Liberty better
than money. t. .sesss.a.st
If Grenada County fails it will be on account of
those who fail to subscribe according to their
and those who fail to subscribe at ALL Those loyal
men and women,-and they many-who have
subscribed to the limit of their ability will not be
responsible for the disgrace, but the blight will fall
all alike. This being true, the bond slackers
who make their patry dollars at the expense of the
blood of their fellow citizens and live among pa
triotic, public-sprited and high-minded people,
should be made to pack up their belongings and
away to cOngenial surroundings-pre-
ferably to Germany itself. The list of slackers
should be made public that all people might know
who is for and who against us. This is no time
for quibbng. There is no twilight zone of patriot
ism. Those wretches who are able to buy bonds
and who absolutely refuse because they think they
make money in other investments, should
receive the and indignation that will result
from the righteous wrath of an aroused public
opinion. -
