The courtesy of the French people
and their efforts to please the Ameri-

engineers regiment, writes:
"Let it be comfort to you to know

the hospitality was such that | felt
they were overdoing the thing in an

by the unknown French lady who sent
flowers to Comrade Cramps when she
learned that he had died, the bouquet
accompanied by the simple words,
TO the boy who bad to die so far from

PATHETIC END
INC SAD STORY
Pathetic Ending So Tinctured
With Kindness that Grief is
Made Easier To Strang-
err, Says Story

Columbus, Kas., May 2O-At the
Methodist church in this city yester-
day afternoon the last act in a sad
story was enacted, when the funeral
services were held over the remains
of Mrs. Lizzie Sutton, who died at
the Columbus City Hospital Friday
night, of acute appendicitis.
Travelling overland in a wagon, with
her husband, from Hazeelgreen, Mo-,
enroute to Pratt, Kansas, Mrs. Sutton
became seriously i'll at Carthage, but
pluckily determined to keep on travel
ing. Thursday noon, when the couple
had reached Crestline, the woman's
condition became so alarming that
her husband insisted upon a doctor
being called. DIR. Baxter was tele-
phoned for, and he went out in his car
to see her. He found her suffering
from an advanced case of appendicitis
with all chances against her recovery
She was persuaded to come to the
Columbus City Hospital. In her dy-
ing condition, it was deemed impos-
sible for her to be operated upon, and
she passed away Friday night at $780,
with her grief-stricken husband at
her bedside.
The Methodists made arrangements
to have the funeral services held at
their church Sunday afternoon, and
the body of Mrs. Sutton was inferred
in the Park Cemetery. A daughter,
Mrs. Gouley, and baby, from Hazel
green, Mo-, were the only relatives
present at the funeral besides the
husband. But, from the sympathy and
kindness shown by many others here
Mr.. Sutton was almost overcome with
gratitude. He only had q small draft
representing the sale of everything
he and his wife possessed in the
world. He asked DR.. Baxter how
much he owed him for his services,
and for the three trips to Crestline
and back, which he had made. The
doctor replied: "YOu don't owe me .
cent"
The old man gazed at the physician
for a moment, as though he could not
believe his senses. Then his eyes NIL
ed with tears, as he grasped the dOet

"DEESTRICK SKULE"
OFFERS MUCH FUN
At the Auditorium, Friday Night,
April 5th, For Benefit of the
War Fund u. D. c.

There is going to be packed
house at the Auditorium Friday night
to enjoy the side-splitting fun of the
greatest amateur entertainment ever
given, the "Deestrick Skule."
Mike, Mr.. Jim Groves, who de-
clared he was too busy to take part,
but could not refuse for such cause
as the war fund of the U. D. c.,
hasn't missed a rehearsal. He and
Tom Wallace have fought to finish
every night, and the teacher, Judge
J. z. Foster, hasn't failed to use his
paddle on them, but the 'skollars"
have never grown tired of these two
fun-makers. Tom will drink water,
and Mike will catch flies Friday
night.
The 319th Field Artillery Sextette
will sing against the "Deestrick
Skule" boys when "skule" takes up
Friday night and the audience is
promised some good music and some
fun on these numbers. Ernest Rob-
inson will read his "Horse" cOmpo-
sition and Murray Weems will tell
the audience all about "cats".
Some Of the prettiest girls in Ma
rietta will act as "skollars" in the
''skule"
The crying girl, the gigling girl,
the lisping girl, Gus Benson, the
suffering boy, Buddy Honeysuckle
and sissy, all the other "skollars"
will furnish two hours of fun, and
everybody is going to see it.
Judge J. 2. Foster will be the
skule master, Miss linda Harrison
will be Mrs. Honeysuckle, and Judge
J. M. Stone, Messrs. Geo. A. Grlfln,
J. E. Dobbs and E. L. Stringer Will
serve on the ''skule committee" !"

TAX { AN
INTEREST IN THE
NEW HIGHWAY
They Attend Meeting of the
Board and Government
Engineers.

The Board of County Commission
ers held a special meeting last Satur-
day morning to further consider
plans for the new road from Camp
Gordon.
A large delegation of the citizens
Of Marietta and Cobb County were
present at the session to meet Mr.. w.
A. Grassland, Senior Highway En-
gineer, of Camp Gordon, and his
party, and to discuss with them and
tho Board of Commissioners the
proposed Military Highway between
Camp Black Jack and Camp Gordon.
Mr.. Grassland explained to the
Board and citizens present that the
Governments proposal was to build
the road from PAGES Ferry to the
Artillery Camp, by way of Winnings,
al an approximate cost of $4,000
per mile, the same to be 16 foot
road of concrete construction with
four foot grouted gutterways on
each side, between Marietta, and the
Underpass below Smyrna, then an 18
fpot roadway Macadam construction
with bituminous binder from the I'm
derpass to within aboue 200 feet Of
the bridge, then concrete to the
bridge approach,
Of the cost of said construction
the County would be expected to put
DIP approximately $4,000 but this
fund would be reimbursed to the ex-
tent of $4,000 or more, by reason
of labor furnished, rental of equip
ment, etc.
BY unanimous vote the Citizens
present pledged their hearty support
to the proposed project and to the
Board of Commissioners in their ac-
ceptance of the same.
The proposition was accepted upon
the passage of the following motion ::
That the County agrees to partici-
pate in the proposed Military High
way from PAGES Bridge to the Ar
tillery Range at Marietta, to the ex-
tent of $4,000, furnishing equip
ment to meet as large part of that
total as possible, but in no event shall
the cash outlay on the project exceed
$4,000. Motion carried.
The presence of a large body of
citizens made the meeting most en-
thusiastic one, and it was apparent
that our people are a unit for the
building of this road.

THE FIGHT GOES ON
BETWEEN THE RED
AND THE BLUE
They Are Not After Your
Blood But Money For
Liberty Bonds.

On Saturday the Blue and Red
Teams who werg so successful in
the Thrift Stamp Drive, will start
another contest.
This time it will be the Liberty
Loan Bonds which they will offer
to the public, and remember you are
one of said public"
The last contest was so close that
neither side could boast in fact with
such large volume of busines, with
so many workers, and so many fig
ures some of the Reds still think they
won.
Anyway they are going to try it
all over again and this time they are
going to raise Cobb County's quota
of theThird Liberty Loan.
The same organization is to do the
work except that Capt. Ralph North
cutt of the Reds insists on being a
Lieutenant and Mr.. j. T. Anderson
will take his place as Captain of the
Reds.
The pledging of subscriptions is
already begun but just as soon as
they please on Saturday the the ac-
tual subscriptions will be taken.
There is no better security on earth
than one of these bonds, so you can
feel you are doing the wisest thing
you could do when you take some
of them.
1t will be sort of holiday in Ma
rietta. A parade, on foot, no cars,
will march through the streets at
eleven O'Clock, and all are asked to
join in this, as the stores will be
closed during the parade.
The Band from the Camp will fur
nish the music and lead the parade.
The drive is to last one week if neces-
sary to raise the quota for the coun-
ty, which is put at about $300,000.
That reads like big sum of money
but we are saving it, not spending
it, and the banks and the people nev-
er had more than now with which to
lay that sum aside.
