JESSIE BRADLEY FARMER

On April IA, 1918, the death angel
visited the home of Mr., and Mrs.
M. ]. Farmer and carried away the
spirit of their little daughter, Jessie
Bradley, after an illness of five
months.
She was taken with the disease with
which she died last November, and
was continually confined to her bed
until God saw fit to make her an
angel. Jessie was three wears old.
She was a patient and lovable child,
and was loved by all with whom she
came in contact, She is survived by
her parents, five sisters and two
brothers. Rev. J. G. johnson con-
Quoted the funeral services at her
home, and her body was laid to rest
in Munford cemetery.
Grieve not, mother and family,
For she is resting happily.
She has gone to her home in the sky
To be with the saints on high
Better that the spirit called her away
Than she on this earth to stay
And endure the toll and sorrow
Than wait to be called on the NOR
row.
God saw fit to call this little flower
From this earthly home of ours
That she may with the angels rest,
And with her sisters gone before
be blest.
Thou art the living God
Who doeth all things good;
Who plucked from the earth the flow.
ers
That were not always to be ours.
May the parents, sisters and brothers
Say "This was not done for our
good, but for others. p"
May the Holy Spirit be on this family
Through trial and temptation.
BY A FRIEND WHO LOVED HER.

so glad to hear from you. Your I'm

SO glad to get your picture. Oh, how
beautiful to look at, but it is silent
can't talk. SO, dear, write often, as
/ have not received a letter for some
three weeks. Seems like our letters
are very uncertain.
Sure enough, the negro prisoners
did come in yesterday, and we put
them in, and the Yanks cut them off
one corner of the stockade and made
camp. We THOUGHT that if they could
fight with negroes they could camp
with negroes.
Four more will leave in the morninr
on furloughs, but none to our settle
ment.
So, my dear, be sure to write ev-
cry week, and will do the same.
Hoping that my time will soon come
to see you, ! remain yours in lots
of love, S. w. FOWLER.

BAKER INDICATED

Secretary Of War Baker may
have his faults, just like the
rest of mankind, but he can not
be accused of misleading the
people in regard to the number
of troops America would have in
France by the end of 1919. Last
winter when he predicted that
at least one million khaki-clad
troops would be on French soil
before or by the end Of 1918
congressional wisacres immed-
lately got out their pencils and
began figuring.
They proved to their own
satisfaction, at least that Sec
rotary Bakers prediction was
visionary and entirely beyond
possibility. These statisicians
figure that such a feat would be
impossible, even if cargo ships
were withdrawn from food trade
and diverted to hauling troops.
Secretary Bakers prediction
will be more than fulfilled. If
the present rate of transport
ing men is maintained there
will be a million men in France
