THREE MORE Go
in TRAINING
LEFT FOR CAMP PIKE SATURDAY
Young Valentine, Johnson and Hou-
stOn Compose the Only White Con-
tingent in This Call.

Last Saturday three more Of Clai-
borne county's young men left for
Camp Pike to begin training for mill
tary training in France Or Italy. They
are:
Robert B. Houston.
John III. johnson.
John III. Valentine.
Each was supplied with service
Kit, though it is regretable that there
was not a demonstration Of some kind
to show that their service to their
country is appreciated. Not a soldier
should leave the county without d
large gathering Of the people to see
him off and give him a hearty hand
shake. It is true that soldiers are
going almost regularly, and we have
gradually grown accustomed to their
leaving, but these are extraordinary
times; things are not done like they
were a few months ago, and we must
face the new conditions, and put into
the hearts Of the young men who 20
to the battle front all Of the enthusi-
asm we can. They will need it in or
der that they may drive back the pow-
erfu enemy which threatens the
whole world.
Hereafter, let us, those who stay at
home, do our part better There are
just as many responsibilities placed
upon us as there are upon the brave
boys who go to fight, and we must
not expect more of them than we are
willing to give.

RESOLUTIONS or RESPECT.

Resolved BY the citizens OF the 9Th
District Of Claiborne County on June
28th, in mass meeting assembled, that
whereas the sad news has reached Us
that our former citizen, Ser9t. George
B Roan,U. s. Marine Corps, has been
killed 10 battle III France, that much
as we deplore the death Of this young
hero, and deep as is our sympathy for
his good mother and father, we feel a
just pride in the fact that this gallant
young man died while struggling to
uphold the traditions of our country
and contending for the mastery of our
arms.
Though dying IN foreign land,
thousands Of miles from home, we
shall frevere His memory, and his
brave life and deeds Of heroism, and
the supreme sacrifice which he made,
shall ever be an inspiration to us.
Resolved further that copy Of
these resolutions be sent 10 the be-
reayed parents, and that the Reveille
be requested to publish them.

sign. Towns Depleted Finances
Discussed.


At an adjourned meeting Of the
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen Of Port
Gibson Tuesday night, Messrs. J. M.
Jones and II. B. Smith surprised the
meeting BY rendering their resigna-
tions as alderman and superintendent
OF the power plant respectively. Mr..
Bailey also quit as assistant at the
plant, and Tom jackson, one of the
colored firemen, asked for substant-
ial raise in salary.
In rendering his resignation, Mr..
Jones stated that the peoples money
had been wasted and there was moth
ing to show for it; that the town is
again facing a financial crisis, and he
did not feel physically able to att
tempt to meet it. Mr. Jones' state
ment was any thing but reassuring,
His resignation took effect at once

"The town people are going in

THE DROUTH BECOMING
SERIOUS in SOME SECTIONS

While almost all Of the county is in
need Of rain, the southern portion is
seriously suffering from the drouth.
For six weeks this section has been
without rain, and many farmers tell
us that much Of their corn is des-
troyed. One man estimates his dam
age now at 5000 per day, and thinks
that unless rain falls soon he will
lose all Of his crops.
Cotton is dry weather plant, but
there is much young cotton which has
been SO retarded Il has just begun
to put on squares, and there is rot
very much hope for favorable re-
suits from this.

THE AIRPLNNE PROGRAM.

No one knows exactly how many aeroplanes are being constructed foi our armies and those of the allies. We are given to understand that the allied arms are already supreme in the air and will be more so by next summer. We arc also semi-oftieially informed that Germany's total airplanes num- Der 2,500 From this it is to be as sumed that the allied total is between 5000 and 4,000
 When We consider, however, that the western front is more than 300 miles long, it is apparent that there is room for more planes without incessant danger of collisions. If the present pace of airplane construction contin- ues long enough, there may some day be grave danger of an insufticiency of maneuvering space in cloudland, but that time is far distant.
 Tn q year or so the air above bat tie will be as black with planes as it is dusty with smoke" remarks a mli- tary chieftain.
 We believe it.
