The persistency Of certain IL
persons circulating re-
ports in this vicinity that some
iberia boy, who is in active serv-
ice. either at the environments or
in Europe had been killed, has be-
come quite obnoxious to the citi-
zens of this community. Ever
since the first draft has been made
some stories of this kind have
been reaching the parents Of some !
Of our young soldiers. and it has ,
them much pain and u,,.
necessary grief until the reports
we're run down and proven to be
'alse. Some two weeks since. just $
It the time Mr.. Thomas Monk was b
i'll, in fact not expected t
% live. one Of these stories to the t
fleet that his son. who is in c
france had just been killed is said t
O have reached his mother, and II
he came near succumbing from s.
he shock. Last week it was cir n
'ulated that another young man "
lso in France had died from some "
|isease or other. and this too was h
I'm down and Il could never he u
scertained from whence the re- }
ort came. Fortunately the lad 8 T
nother was not in this instance O
pprised of the unfounded rumor, t.
r possibly she two would have n
cen made seriously i'll from in
fleets. We can conceive no m J. fl
i've for the circulation of false es
umors Of this kind, unless it be m
.om dire ignorance Of the serious W
that might befall
,me feeble woman who naturally
under a strain because a son,
r brother is actually engaged in
lilitary service for this Govern
ent. Nothing can be gained he
'om these practices and the SOON W
: concocters of false rumors stop ar
lis nefarious practice the better. ia
of false stories calcu- la
ted to injure any one is des- OF
cable crime. and it is bad enough tn
hen there is some semblance Of
nth mixed with it. to give bad ST
'ws circulation. but when it IS fiji
herwise it should be frowned WI
,wn and an effort made to trace at
5 source We trust those who in
rye naught else TO do will find
me more agreeable occupation mt
the future. Re
