FLORENCE
Florence. neoemher 2s.-fsneoI

Florence, December 25.-( Special. )Sergt. Homer Givens, first American hero, who was awarded the French Croix de Guerre early last spring. and which medal was later brought to the young sergeant g father in this city, by George w. Sim mons, representative of the American Red Cross, is reported to be still alive In France and recovering his health, in spite of the 23 wounds he received in Ameri- ca's first engagement with the German army. In letter just received by his father. he stated that he did not know just when he would return to America.
 At the time young Givens was injured he was in charge of a squad of sol- diers out in No Mans land, doing patrol duty, when they were attacked by a superior number of the enemy troops, and all of Givens' comrades were killed and he himself badly injured. He was found many hours afterward lying in a shell hole with 23 wounds in his body, since which time he has been in the hos pital undergoing treatment.
 W. c. Hyde, for many years promi nent merchant in North Florence, was found dead in bed at his home early Tues
 
 for sometime, but had continued at his business up to the very day before his death.
 Mir. Hyde leaves number of relatives and many friends in Florence, to whom his sudden death was quite shock. It is almost a daily occurrence for this city to be visited by aviators making cross country flights. the purpose of which Is to establish air mail service sta tions. Lieut.. B. w. Spencer, flying in q big army plane, landed here this week while en route to Nashville from Payne field in Memphis. An exhibition flight over Florence was given by the airman which, of course, attracted considera ble attention.
 Several days ago the body of Carl Oakman, a young man about 20 years old, was found in the road about two miles from Cloverdale, and about the same distance from his mothers home, in the eastern part of Lauderdale county, some distance from Florence. A coroner's s inquest was held and the verdict ren- dered was to the effect that Oakley came to his death by drinking poisoned whisky When last seen alive young Oakley was in the neighborhood of Cloverdale, and it was stated by the party who saw him that he was under the influence of whis- ky, and all efforts to get him to return home were without avail. Later his body was found. lying face to the ground. He had been dead two days.
 The unfortunate victim of the deadly liquor was the son of Mrs Mollie Oak ley, a widowed woman, of Cloverdale community.

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE FOLLOW DOCTORS ADVICE

Ask any physician or druggist and he will tell you that the first step in the grippe should invariably be "a brisk calomel purgative, preferably the nausealess calomel, called Calotabs.'' ? This alone is often sufficient to break up severe cold over night, or cut short an attack of grippe and possibly prevent pneumonia.
 one Calotab on the tongue at bed time With a swallow of water-that,s s all. No salts, nc nausea nor the asight- est interference with your eating, pleas ures or work.

 1900 POUNDS OF TURKEY
 And there was plenty The POO cooks had been working for o6 hours prepar- ing the feast.
 There was 120O pounds of turkey, with proportionate quantities of oyster dress ing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and other side dishes, and a drayload of apple pies and enough ice cream to feed a regiment. There were oranges, apples, bananas and cakes.
 During the dinner the great ships organ pealed out airs of popular songs.
 After the dinner Santa Claus appeared in the disguised person of Chief Elec- trician Costello. A blast from bugle announced the arrival of his launch alongside. The guard of honor was drawn up and he was ''piped over the side" in regulation naval style, and escorted to the dining hall with all the deference that would be paid to visit ing admiral.
 Santa Claus task was cut out for him. He found awaiting his arrival at the foot of the tree a cargo of gifts of the kind children delight in. There was a toy for every boy and girl present and in addition half pound box of candy. Then came visit by all to the winter garden of the ship, to witness a half hour entertainment of motion pictures and a puppet show.

Don't Die That Way

From the Christian Intelligence
 The following story comes to us from old Virginia:
 A devout colored preacher, whose heart was aglow with missionary zeal gave notice to his congregation that in the evening an offertory would be taken for missions and asked for lib-
 eral gifts. A selfish, well-to-do man in the congregation said to him be- fore the service Yer gwine to kill dis

NEW YORK ORPHANS. GUESTS OF SAILORS. AT CHRISTMAS FEAST
Eat Your Heads Off, . Hosts Tell Little Folks at Party Held on Monster
 Liner Leviathan

New York. December 25-orphaned children of New York city and Hoboken, little folks at whose homes financial cir cumstance made Christmas slim affair, and 'newsies'' from the Hoboken streets and New Jersey terminals numbering more than 1200, were the guests today at a real Christmas party held on board the monster American steamship Levla- than. The hosts of the occasion were the 1900 or more sailors who make up the operating personnel of the ship. The expense was borne by them and it was all planned and arranged for during the liners recent voyage home with $500 American soldiers and sailors.
 This reception was the first of public nature held on the ship since the flag of Germany was lowered on the 52,000-ton vessel one year ago last April and her Teutonic name, Vaterland, changed to the one she now bears.
 The children were from various orphan asylums with no restriction as to color or religion. Automobiles driven by army and navy transport men and women picked up the youngsters at the doors of the institutions and transported them to the ship-taking them home again after they had been bounteously supplied witk good things to eat and with gifts Supple menting the children from the various orhpanages, the sailors sought out pri- vate homes where sickness and misfor- tune had made itself felt this year and where the Christmas that children look forward to did not dawn These little persons were brought to the ship and re- turned by the bluejackets as their per- sonal charges.
 VANCANCIES FILLED
 When all the anticipated guests were on hand it was found there were extra tables and plates with no one in front of them Once more the sailors sallied forth to the streets, and sufficient num- Der of small newsboys and bootbacks were picked up around the New Jersey railroad and ferry terminals to fill out the vacancies.
 The dinner was first on the programme. It was served in the great hall which was formerly the first-class dining salon of the giant liner. Sailors mess tables were grouped around a large Christmas tree set in the center of the salon. Several hundred women from the home service and canteen section of the Red Cross, volunteers from the various orphan homes and relatives of the ship s

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
MY WORLD SERIES DOUGH.
By Billy Evans, the American League umpire who. really writes his
 own stuff.

By Billy Evans. the American League
 umpire who really writes his
 own stuff
 Thrift in any crisis is a great as set. The Liberty Loan is teaching pie of the United States The Lib erty Loan right now is doing d great duty. It is enabling our Government to defend the very thing the word liberty implies. That is great service in itself. The good effect of the loan, however, will not be tenn pofary. It will tell a great story in -tlle future. It will have taught the American people the real value of economy.
 The purchased of Liberty bonds by great many people meant the sac rifice of many things. which at the time seemed necessities. A few months of denial have made what in many cases seemed a necessity to be more of a luxury. Most of us have learned it is not nearly so hard to deny some of the things which seemed to have come to be a part ee our lives. A sacrifice here and there has been turned into Liberty bond, the most praiseworthy investment any loyal American could make. In 1915, when I offieiated in the worlds series between Boston and Philadelphia, I took my share Of the prize fund and bought for myself an l automobile. It was money earned quickly and spent equally fast At that time I anticipated using a part of any worlds series money in the future to cater to my motor desires Then came the Liberty Loan. Instead of putting part of my 1917 prize money into a new car, I decided the old one would suffice. I'm getting along nicely without. it, and have a number of Liberty bonds instead of a new car. They keep moving, after 1 the auto and other luxuries are for | gotten.

LIBERTY DAY.

Today is the day which has been. designated by President Wilson as Liberty day, that the people of the country may assemble in their re- spective communities and literally pledge anew tfeir financial support to sustain the nations cause Govern ors of states who have the powee' have been asked to declare it a legal holiday, or the afternoon half -holi- day for the holding of patriotic dem onstrations in every city. town and hamlet throughout the land.
 The purpose of this day is to arouse deeper interest in the third Liberty loan and the object for which it is being raised. Even though there are not a few instances where the governors cannot take the. step re- quested there need be no fear that there will not be a widespread rally to the appeal IL is even probable that just as great if not greater. re- sponse will be made to the effort to give the loan mighty boost where the day is not holiday as there would be if it was.
 Demonstrations will be held. patri- otism will be pushed to the front and aroused by parades and rallies and there will be keen endeavor upon the part of every citizen. young and old. to accomplish the full object of loosening the pursestrings. This can be done even if we do not lay aside our werk. It is time to awaken and as the president says express in un- mistakabie terms the determinatio of America to fight for peace, the per- manent peace of justice" You are of course going to do your part
