dramatic event of the term had beer
anticipated with not litt lie eagerness
on the part of the whole school, but

brought to a 81 imple French home and
IT'S family circle oy the arrival of the
American soldiers was given IN admir-
able fashit n.
MISS Dannel delightfully."- filled the
part of the french mother and Ezra
Crowder was excellent as the father,
while Miss Elva Norton starred as
their daughter, and Gross KicklIghter,
as their wounded soldier son, handled
well difficult part. Ray Clause
made a very real German soldier and
DR.. Wharton gave characteristic
flavor to her physicians role. Miss
Growers presentation of the Red
Cross nurse vas very good; one was
lAd to realize how often our nurses
have filled just such place.
The audience was especially pleased
with the singing of "The Man from
Arkansas" by Benton Cantrell. Mr..
Carr furnished music between the
acts.
Over $1,000 was earned by the Com
mittee for their games and a delight
full evening was enjoyed by all.

LIGHT VOTE IN CITY ELECTION
Little Interest Manifested by the Voters
In General Way.

The city election held Saturday
brought out few voters, for General
Apathy was firmly seated IN the saddle.
The total vote cast was only 62, while
twice that number could easily have
been polled had the interest been
sufficient to bring out as much as IS to
80 per cent of tie voters.
Former Senator E. e. Tollett was
the only candidate whose name was
printed on the ballot for mayor and he
received 81 votes. j. E. Burnett re-
ceived one vote, but was in no sense a
candidate.

AGED WOMAN KILLED.
Fred Hall Instantly Kills Mrs. Abrahsm
Jestice at Her Home Saturday.

Saturday afternoon, about five
O'Clock, Fred Hall, aged 20, son of
Dave Hall, shot and instantly killed
Mrs. Abraham JestIce, at her home.
fifteen miles north of Crossville.
The man used a Smith & Wesson
3S-calibre pistol. One shot entered
the temple and the second the back of
the head and lodged under the skin of
the forehead. The woman was quite
old, being we'll into the seventies.
The report is that when Hall
reached nome he handed the pistol to
his mother ard said: II have killed
the devil, but have not hurt your faith
er." Mrs. Dave Hall is the daughter
of Abraham Jestice, husband of the
murdered woman. The dead woman
was the third wife of Abraham Jes-
tice.
The trouble seems to have resulted
from intense i'll feeling that had been
growing for some months between the
dead woman and Mrs. Hall and other
children of Mr.. Jestice.
Fred Hall acts strangely and it
seems probable the insanity plea will
be employed to get him out of the
trouble. He is the same man who was
tried for killing cattle in that neigh
borhood, but he was not convicted.
Sheriff Garrison was promptly on
the ground and had Hall under arrest
within two hours after the killing.
Hall is now in the county Jail and will
have his preliminary trial Saturday.

SELECTING THOSE TO STARvE
That Condition Now Confronts Workers
In the Near East Part of World

| A drive is to be put on from Janu
ary IL to 10 to raise thirty millions Of
dollars to feed the four millions oi
people IN the near East, who are
homeless and foodless in a very large
measure. Many thouss nds will surely
die of starvation unless the United
States feeds them.
For nearly the whole time OF the
four years of the war those untortu-
nate people have been driven from
place to place. their homes pilsged,
their crops destroyed AMI taken from
them, when it was possible tor them
to grow any crops, ana many thous-
ands have died of starvation and
vIolene.
SO very distressing has the situation
now become that those who are labor
ing among these starving millions
must select those who will be saved
from those who must starve unless aid
is furnished, and that aid M UST come
from this country for no other country
has the food or the means to give.
The need now, this winter, is great
er than ever before. The drive that
is to be put on January IL to ~ for
$50, 900, 900 il arousing Rrea. interest
because of the frightful conditions and
the assurance that America must save
those starving millions or they will
die The slogan now is "They Shall
Not Die"
The amount asked is very small,
when the need Is understood, and we
pause to see the great giving that this
Christian ration has already done in
the past four years. Because we
have done so much, there is no doubt
that we can and will meet this call.
Think it over and prepare to give
small part of your abundance and
thereby help save the starving mill
lions.
