Estimable Woman Called to Her Re-
ward After Brief Illness.

After an illness of only few days
Mrs. j. /. Roberts passed away at her
home on Elm street at 2 O'Clock

death.
Mrs. Roberts is survived by her
husband and three daughters, Mrs.
A. K. Snipes, Mrs. j. E. Brown and
Mrs. w. P. Nasworthy, all of this
county. An adopted son, Bobby Rob
erts, who lives at Sylvester, reached
Dawson Monday.
Mrs. Roberts before her marriage
was Miss Villa A. Causey. She was
siXty-one years of age and had spent
the greater part of her life in TerA
rell county. Of a retiring nature the
deceased was best known in her home.

wife and mother. For many years
she had been a member of the Meth
odist church.

noon, at New Bethel church, the

SHELLMAN PEOPLE WILL
RENDER PATRIOTIC PROGRAM
Will Give Entertainment in Bron-
wood on Next Friday Evening.

"oOO On NSNC Erloay Evening.
The Shellman dramatic club will
give an entertainment in Bronwood
next Friday evening for the benefit
of the Red Cross, and the public is
invited to attend and help this worthy
cause. The exhibition was recently
given in Edison, and the Edison News
said of it:
One of the most appropriate and
highly interesting programs that it
has been our good fortune to witness
was rendered at the Edison school
auditorium last Thursday night by a
company of Shellman people who are
working for the benefit of the Red
Cross.
THE program consisted of a num-
Der of patriotic selections in solos,
duets and choruses, including the ma
tional anthems of our allies, two
thrillingly striking tableaux and clos
ed with the splendid patriotic drama,
Somewhere in France in two acts.
An excellent orchestra, consisting of
four instruments and about twenty
four trained voices, made the musical
part of the program pleasing indeed.
THE pla- was given for Red Cross
benefit, and It can be truly said that
the program is the most appropriate
thai could possibly be rendered. All
taking part on the program did
their respective parts well, and every
one Of them deserves special men
ton"

DAYLIGHT SAVING
BILL BECOMES LAW
PRESIDENT SIGNS BILL PUTTING
ALL CLOCKS FORWARD AN
HOUR LAST DAY OF MAR.

The daylight saving bill has been
signed by President Wilson. 1t puts
all clocks forward an hour on the
last Sunday in March, and turns them
back again the last Sunday in Octo-
ber
The daylight saving plan will go in
to effect and be observed without the
slightest disorganization or impair
ment of existing conditions. Trains
will be run as usual, every feature
of daily life into which the element
of times enter will remain unchang-
ed.
Before retiring on the last Satur-
day of this month the American
householder will set his clock an
hour ahead and then may go to sleep
and forget entirely about daylight
saving until the last Saturday of Oc-
tober. On that date he will reverse
the process, turning back the hands
of the clock an hour, and the next
day the nation again will run on
"sun" time.
In the summer the American man
actually will rise, transact his daily
business, and retire all an hour ear
her than has been his custom, but
with his clock an hour fast he will
not know the difference if he wants
to. An hour of daylight thus will be
conserved in the afternoon.
Advocates of the plan in present
ing their case to congress explained
that the following beneficial results
would be achieved by the system:
A great saving of illuminants, such
as oil, gas and electrical power;
Marked conservation of coal;
Increased manufacturing produc-
ton as the result of improvement in
working conditions;
General benefits to the national
health because of an additional hour
of daylight which may be DEVOTED to
recreation;
Reduction in the cost of living to
some who can raise garden truck for
domestic consumption; and
Improvement of the training condi-
lions for the fighting forces.
The interstate commerce commit
tee of the house submitted favor
able report on the measure and urged
its passage.
The Georgians in congress opposed
the measure as useless legislation.

this time of great excitement and con-
fusion.
No scolding of girls for unwise &C
tons and no solemn finger-shaking &C.
ours in the clubs. Instead of dwelling
ON what not to do, these wise leaders
urge real patriotism. All sorts of pro-
jects are suggested that are more In.
teresting than the dubious and danger.
Gus pleasures which appeal to the ig-
norant and the thoughtless. At
parties for instance, these willy chaper
ones, whom no one ever thinks of as
supervisors, arrange that there shall
always be twice as many soldiers as
girls. "Twosing" is utterly impossible
where there are not enough girls to
go around!
Club leaders do not attempt to ban
ish the gallant soldier entirely from
the girls world; they wish only to
bring him down from glorified heights
of glamour to take his place as an
everyday hero, subject to the same
scrutiny as other men.

ASIDE from the great victory
achieved by the allies for spread OF
popular government, the finest
feature of the new peace that has
dawned upon the world is the sur
cease of the expenditure of lives by
the nations leagued together to
beat down autocracy and prevent
the passing of the world under a
cruel, war mad monarch and his
brutalized minions. Some losses
may yet be expected in the quell-
ing of disturbances incident to the
reestablishment of order, but the
wholesale sacrifices are over. Sec
ond in Importance, the destruction
of cities and farms is stopped, and
third, the vast expenditures of
treasure for destructive weapons
and munitions can be diverted
back to the arts of peace that make
for human happiness. Gradually,
as the months and years roll by,
the vast armies will be absorbed
hack into the pursuits of peace,
and as the work of rehabilitation
and reconstruction proceeds the
visible ravages of four and a
quarter years of the mightiest war
of all history will be blotted from
sight by the handiwork of Nature
and of man.

END OF THE GREAT WAR.

The closing events of the great war
consisted of continuance Of the
allied drive on the western front up
to the hour when the armistice took
effect Nov. IL While the British,
French and Belgians pressed back the
Germans with great vigor along the
front extending south through
Belgium into France, the American
armies, one advancing northward
along the Mouse and the other north
from the Argonne forest, took Sedan
aud cut the railway line which sup
piled half the German army and by
which half the German army was
seeking TO escape. Thus cut off. aud
thrown upon the inadequate facilities
OF but one remaining railway through
Belgium, a large part of the German
army of about 100000 men faced
annihilation. This crisis in the
military situation. intensified by the
downfall of the war party 10 Germany
and the spreading revolt against the
HohenZollern dynasty, caused the un-
conditional surrender Of Germany 10y
submitting to the terms laid down by
the allies and signed by the German
delegates at Spa, Nov. IL.
On Nov. 8 the kaiser, Wilhelm II,
had abdicated the throne of the
Prussian kingdom and the German
empire and had fled to Holland with
members of his family and suite.
His example was followed on the 18th
by Emperor Charles of Austria FORM
ally abdicating his throne Both
empires are now torn with dssention
while efforts are being made to estab-
fish popular rule on the ruins of the
overthrown monarchieS.
Experts estimate that the war has
cost 10, 900, 900 lives.
British casualties reported for the
week ended Nov. I tntaled 27,648,
including GAS killed or died of
wounds.
Australia's total losses in the war,
up to Nov. s. showed 81, 800 dead and
1853, 1919 wounded. Australia has a
population of only five million people.
The end of the war finds the
United States with an army of g.
100000 men, of whom 100000 have
been transported overseas. The total
American casualties in the war as
reported Nov. 10, were 68,45I, as
follows: 12.128 killed in action; 47l9
died of wounds; 4739 died of disease:
1923 died of accident and other causes;
38,768 wounded; 1914 missing.

doubt that the total will be increased
TO 95, 900 or 1000 when the losses
of The last few weeks are complied
and reported.
