JACKSON.

met the Rev. Sam Wynn on the
streets OF Jackson one day last week.
He is stationed at Bemis. four miles
south of Jackson. After passing the
compliments of the day. the first
thing he asked me Yves. how long
had it been since we had as severe
spell of weather as the present /
very promptly answered, not since
Jan. and Feb, 1893. But this spell
has continued until it has outclassed
that of 80. In that year we had
some as cold or even colder weather
than has occurred this time, but it
did not continue so long, and this
spell has surpassed any thing we re-
member since the year 1867. Early
in January Of that year snow fell to
a considerable depth and at intervals
of every few days. There was more
snow or sleet and this continued
turnout the months of January and
February, and some of the first snow
that fell in January was on the
ground the third week in March. My
recollection is now that the ground
generally was not entirely free from
snow during the entire time. Our
parents told us Of the severe winter
of 1857, the year in which we were
born. They said that Obion River
froze over that year, and at Lanes
Ferry loaded wagons and all other
travel crossed the river on the ice for
a period of six weeks. Our old friend,
Uncle Dick King, can tell the readers
something of this spell of weather
from a personal knowledge.
All rural schools are suspended
and business generally is paralyzed
on account of the weather and the
fuel problem. The school at Sharon
is Temporarily closed, and our daugh-
ter, who teaches there. is at home for
the present. These are indeed siren
uous times, but it behooves everyone
to meet the Inconvenience with a
brave and trusting heart, ever look
ing to Him who doeth all things for
the best.

Pork and Patriotism.
Union City, Tenn.

There never was a war half so
bloody as this one, and If this blood
shed is to be stopped before 1t reaches
our own soil the American farmer
must produce much more pork. This
pork is needed not only to feed our
own people and our army, but it is
needed much worse to feed the armies
and the peoples Of our allies. In
times of peace this country produced
two-fifths of all the pork of the
world; but now. owing to the fact
that European pork production is
greatly decreased, it falls upon the
United States tc greatly increase her
supply. So it's up to you, Mr.. Farm
err, not to do your bit, but to do your
might, by producing pork to feed our,
selves and our allied neighbors in
this great world crisis. To do less
would be to help the Kaiser. Are
you true red-blooded American?

As we sit tonight thinking
or the time that will soon come
When we must leave our native land,
Our loved ones and our home.
OF course it makes us weary,
For the nights dreary one,
Yet none of us are worrying,
For we know the time must come
When all the true blue "Sammies"
That love the U. s. A.,
Win don their fighting spangles
And proudly sail away.

The immortal Johnny j.,
For, with him as our leader,
We know Wen surely win the day.
He helped to whip the Spaniards,
Anu put McAtCO Ou the run,
For his eye meets the battle
AS the eagles meets the sun.
But the one great thing we're dread
ing
Are the ones we leave behind,
Who will sit and pine for our return
Around their lonely shrine.
Remember the wives and mothers
And sweethearts that will wait in
vain
For some of the boys who sailed away
That will never return again.
Yet some of us may return
With honors, gifts and fame
And have the nerve and courage
That no foeman ere could tame.
And yet we know that some must
sleep,
But 1t will only seem a day,
When we all will meet together
At the final reveille.

Name il aIibertY.D

Editors Commercial, Dear Sirs:
hear with the utmost qualification
that your new school building ii
nearing completion. but have seen ne
notice where it has been named. Sew
eral good names have been suggested
and do not wish to disparage any
one of them, but as neither has been
selected, / suggest as name "The
Liberty School," think the name
appropriate for three reasons:
Liberty-a name universally loved
When Patrick Henry in the first Con-
tinental Congress of 1775 in Rich
mond. Va, in the old st. Johns Epis-
copal Church, which still stands,
proclaimed--"Give me liberty or give
me DEATH" he seemed to strike the
keynote of the spirit of the American
people, which has extended down
thru the years and is even now more
intensified as has been proven with
in the last year, since America has so
uA5CAhoAly 5lfOh hch UCcI--tHc uOWcI
of her manhood-to extend this lib
erty which she so vaiiantly fought
for and obtained, to the entire world.
Second, the name itself Is signifi-
cant, for, by the laws of our great
and good commonwealth, the school
offers to all children between the ages
of six and twenty-one within it's linn
it's, the liberty to come and stay un-
til they acquire all it has to give by
way of education, culture and the de-
velopment of character, free of
charge.
Third, the erection of the building
is co-incident and can always be
dated back to the year of the great
successful drive, for Liberty Bonds,
an appeal that touched the heart of
every patriotic American citizen, COM
polling him to unloose his purse
strings and generously give to the
cause of this world struggle which he
hopes will bring peace. Peace
which is gained only thru liberty.
With this suggestion and with the
wish that the school may ever stand
for all that is highest and best, am
Very gratefully yours,
