The Bolsheviki must be the
sum total Of all the devils and
fools in existence melted into a
conglomerate mass Of ignorance.
If ever great and old established
government, even under the
direct leadership of the Almighty
in old time went to wreck and
ruin, Russia can claim the rib
bin. Bolsheviki did the job.
They are now PROSTATE people,
keeping what is left after the
tyrant German takes all he
wants. The territory of old Rus
sia is giant broken to fragments
and tied hand and foot. Germa-
ny can now end the war and as
result own entire Russia with
her vast territory and one hun
dred million subject slaves, the
result of Bolshevik intrigue, ig-
norance and rapacity.

eighty-third birthday. Each brought

from Virginia in wagons, taking from

came to McNairy Co. and settled at
what is yet known as the Tanner
place, near Stantonville. lived at
that place until ] was married to Mr.
Basil East in October, 1861.
At the time of our marriage the
Civil War was on and everything was

when he began sinking and died at 10
o'clock last night (Thursday, Feb. 81

more active than many persons 20
years younger, does not need any as
sistance in getting into a vehicle,
waits on herself, attends to many
household duties, and strange to say,
has very few gray hairs. When berry
time comes she gathers her berries
and fills her jars. She knit socks
and mittens for the soldiers of the
Civil War, and has been knitting
some washrags for the soldiers of to-
day. She would make most efficient
Red Cross member, since she can knit
pair of socks or other articles as
quickly as onyone.
