ALL DRAFT ORDERS HAVE
BEEN REVOKED FOR PRESENT

The local exemption boards through
out the country have received orders
from Washington revoking all orders
to send draftants to the military
training camps for the present. This
order came as the result of Germany
signing the armistice. There were
eighty boys ordered to assemble in
Carthage yesterday and leave today
for the training camp, and the above
announcement must have been good
news to them.
The terms of the armistice provide
for a period of thirty days in which
time the final peace terms may be
signed. The Allied nations will pre-
pare the peace terms, but it is not
known when they will be ready to
present them to Germany and her as
sociates for signatures.
Revolutions are prevailing IN Ger
many now, and it has been suggest
ed that likely the Allies will extend
the terms of the armistice to longer
period if necessary to allow the Ger
man people to set up some form of
government and empower representa-
tives to sign the final peace terms.
The terms of the armistice are such
sumed. Germany has been stripped
of army ard navy powers and are or
dered withdrawn from all the terri
tory of the Allies. The Kaiser has
been dethroned and driven out of Ger
many and party called Socialists ap-
pear to be assuming charge of the
German empire.
There is but little doubt that Amer
lea willahave to keep an army in
Europe for some time yet, probably
two years. The American boys who
have been there fighting for some
time will be permitted to return home
and the vacancies will be filed by boys
now in the training camps. Our boys
will be kept in Europe to make sure
the peace terms are signed up right,
and in the midst of our joy here at
home we must not forget our boys
over there. We must keep up all the
war activities, such as the Red Cross
and Y. M. G. A work. All the food
regulations and other war regulations
also remain in force. Don't think be-
cause the fighting has stopped that
our war work is all over. We must
stay in the game until the last Amer
lean soldier is returned home. There
are two million of our boys in France
and there are one million in the train
ing camps, and they must continue to
have all the necessities they have
heretofore been having. If you have
failed to contribute to the Y. NJ. G. A.
campaign that is now going on, do SO
at once. Smith county must go over
the top in this campaign as she has
done in all the others. After the
United States begins demobilizing her
armies it will be months and months
before all the boys could get home
and it might be your boy or your
neighbours boy who would be the last
one to get home. Don't forget him.

ROLLINS DIES
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

Elijah Rollins died at his home in
Huntsville Sunday night, November
10, 1918, at IL o'clock. The remains
were brought to Dixon Springs the
following day where funeral services
were conducted at the church by Rev.
Oakley of Hartsville. Interment took
place at the Rollins family grave
yard near Dixon Springs, and the
burial was in charge of the Odd Fell
lows and Masons, to which orders
Elijah belonged, and the ceremonies
were impressive.
Elijah is another one of Smith
county's stalwart and splendid young
men gone to his reward, and the
large crowd attending the funeral and
burial attests the high esteem in
which he was held. He was almost
the picture of health until he contract
ed influenza, followed by peritonitus,
which ended his life after an illness
of only ten days.
Elijah was a fine business man,
having successfully conducted a mer-
camille business at Huntsville for a
number of years. Only recently he
had purchased the mercantile bust
ness of his brother, j. l.. Rollins, at
Dixon Springs, and he was ready to
move to Dixon Springs and take
charge when he took sick.
He was 25 years of age and, besides
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. d. Rol-
| Inns, of near Dixon Springs, and sew
eraI brothers and sisters, his wife
who was Miss Minnie Beasley OF
Hillsdale, and little daughter sur
vive him. Smith county can i'll afford
/ to lose such men as was Elijah, and
/ the bereaved family have the sympa-
thy of many friends in their great
! loss.
