INFLUENZA VICTIM

The sad news was received in this
city last Thursday announcing the
death of James Reed, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Newton Reed, of the Towards
Mill section, which occurred at Camp
Funston, Kansas, following a brief
illness of Spanish Influenza. His
parents were enroute to his bedside
when the sad news was received.
Young Reed had been in the army
for several months and was expect
ing to sail for overseas duty shortly.
He was a young gentleman of the
highest order and his life was given
up in the cause of Freedom and De-
mocracy just as much as if he had
fallen in the first line trenches. The
grief stricken parents have the deep
est sympathy of the entire county in
the loss of their loving and devoted
son, but they should feel proud to
have reared a boy who was ready
and willing to die for the cause of
Righteousness. In his death Mont
gomery county has lost another hon
ored and fearless son who has given
his life that the world may be a bet
ter place in which to live, and that
your son and our son, your daugh-
ter and our daughter, may be made
safe from the treacherous Hun. In
their hour of grief may the God of
love and mercy be a comfort and
guide to his devoted parents.
His body was brought here Mon
day morning and inferred in Mach
pelah Cemetery.

Liberty LOAN
MUST SUCCEED
Our Quota Not Yet Subscribed But
Indications Point to Ultimate
Success.

We regret exceedingly to report
that as yet Montgomery county has
failed to Ego over the top" in the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive, but as
has been said "better late than
never" and we are confident that by
Saturday night our quota will be
subscribed. Up to the time of our
gong to press, according to the fig
ures given us by Chairman John g.
VIM, we have subscribed $342, 800,
which leaves us $21, $50 below our
quota. We have been informed from
very good authority that the Gov
eminent is getting Il list of names in
every county of those who have fail
ed to subscribe who are able to, or
who have failed to take as many
bonds as they should and that this
list will receive the attention of the
authorities at Washington. Just
how they will be reached by Uncle
Sam we do not know but we hope
and predict that he will "get" these
financial slackers who have failed to
do their "bit" for our brave soldier
bows. Montgomery county MUST
NOT FAIL THE GOVERNMENT

FLU PATIENTS
DOING NICELY
And It Is Thought Epidemic win
Soon Be Under ContrOI-0yer
Hundred Cases Here

During the past week there have
developed many new cases of Span
ish Influenza in this city and county
and there is now at least hundred
cases. Most Of them are in a light
form, but even at that the afflicted
suffer quite a great deal. The local
physicians have been quite busy
combating the disease and are using
every modern means known in the
treatment and prevention of the
epidemic. All public places have
been closed including churches,
schools, pool rooms, theatres, Elks
Club, Rest Room and all public gath
erings. Congressman Fields was to
speak here Monday but will not be
able to owing to the epidemic.
So far very few cases have gone into
pneumonia but there has been one
death in tho county, Mrs. Morton
Faulkner
At the army camps and other
places throughout the State and
Nation the epidemic seems to be
under control and fewer new cases
are being reported each day. Every
one is advised to use every known
precaution to escape the dreaded
disease and follow the advise of the
State and National authorities. RE-
MEMBER, if you have a severe cold
in any form, do not fail to call
doctor at once as an "ounce of pre-
vention is worth q pound of cure"

NO PEACE NOW
WITH GERMANY
President Wilson Says There VIM
Be No Truce Made With
the Barbarous Hun

President Wilson has answered
Gernany's peace proffer with a note
declaring anew that there can be no
peace with a German Government
controlled by military autocracy
and no thought of an armistice while
German atrocities continue on land
and sea. President Wilson's reply to
the German peace offer was vigor-
ously applauded when read to the
Senate Immediately after it had
been made public. The Senate had
remained in session late in order to
receive it.
The country is aflame with patri-
otto praise of the Presidents stand
and the sentiment everywhere is that
only unconditional surrender should
be the terms of peace with the Ger
man monsters, who while asking for
peace terms continue their course of
wanton destruction in direct VIOLA
ton of the rules of civilized warfare.
Cities and villages if not destroyed
are being stripped of all they contain
and often of their very inhabitants.
Now that we have the Hun on the
run, let's keep on after them until
we chase them into Berlin and there
give them taste of what they have
been making France and Belgium
suffer.
Our armies and those of the Allies
are meeting with splendid success
everywhere and the news of Presi-
dent Wilson's stand will give them
renewed energy to go forward in
their battles for freedom and right.
