bIG PEACE RALLY
 AT TABERNACLE
Thousands of People Wit
 ness Peace Parade.

About 1000 people gathered at the Court House yesterday afternoon at 23o, to participate in the big Peace parade. The parade was led by the w. 0. w. band, and closely followed by platform carried by a number of men, upon which stood Unlce Sam, With this inscription above: "'rhe Kaiser is gone, But Wilson Lives on." I COW bells. horns. drums and every | imaginary thing was brought out to make fuss with, even to the dish pan. It was one of tho largest par ades ever witnessed in Pine Bluff.
 Upon the arrival of the paradcrs at the Tabernacle, where a large crowd had already assembled, the band played Star Spanged Banner while every one gave three cheers for Old Glory. This was followed by prayer by Rev. A. Homer Jordan Selection by the band. Judge w. B. Sorrellls then introduced the speak CTS, first being Dr. w. J. E. Cox.
 Believes There Is Time For Eyery-
 thing.
 pr. Cox said he could find only one thing, which made them call on him for a speech and that was that he could make noise enough to be heard , and could rejoice with all over Peace again. Il believe there is a reason and time for every purpose on earth, and this is our time for Peace as in Ecclesiastes it reads. There is a time to weep, d time to laugh a time to ! mourn, and a time to dance: If | knew how to do the last of these four things in the religious way. ] would choose Judge Sorrels for my pardncr and dance here on this platform. We arc living in the greatest event of the history of the world VIC arc sub jects of the greatest government ev- CT devised by man. In truth it is the land of the free and the home of the brave. We were not fighting for territory. we never have fought for l territory; but for defense And if it were possible for me to do so today. with good grace, 1 could put my foot on the Kaisers neck and crush him. We are the most energetic and en- thusiastic peoples on earth; our sol diers are as brave as any that ever drew sword or fired a gun We are proud of our Country and our boys. This is the greatest day, in my judgment. in the history of civili- gation. When America entered the war, the doom of the kaiser was incv- iabe. Who killed the kaiser? said Uncle Sam killed the kaiser. But we have much to do yet, and many dol lars to give before it is entirely set tied. Our men are today making sac rifices and for days to come Wifi make many sacrifices. Let us contribute all through the week, to make happ1- ness for the boys who fought for us. They must have the best of every thing, and that is not good enough for them. Sixty thousand is the quota asked for from this county, and think we have spent that much in celebrating; buying gasoline, the wear and tear on the cars and var ious other things too numerous to mention. l think my little Ford is all but played out from celebrating. We are the most liberal people on the face of the earth, and l see S120,0OO out there now.'
 Judge kerWin's Address.
 will take the Presidents word for anything. l believe that the devil himself is here in tho form of the Kaiser of Germany. When those four million strong and brave boys come marching home, will your answer be ready for the question they arc going to ask? There is question which every ono must answer, and every soldier will asll What did you do for mo, while l was fighting for you in Francc?' l bought ten thou sand dollars of Liberty Bonds, is no answer; ] bought one thousand dol lars in w. s. $. is no answer; It Is simply the best judgment for invest ing in the best security of the best Country in Gods land. It is more bles- sed to give than to receive. There are no slackers in Pne Bluff or 1efieron ]; County. The negro was as faithful in this war as in the Civil War to the men and women of the south. :" i Judge kerwin highly complimented the local exemption boards for their ]: excellent work, saying that it took ! ! strong steel backbon1 10 send ltcr < to army, after hearing the pltl1ui' tails put up by some.

 Sorrells Must Talk.
 Judge Sorrells stated that nc might never get another opportunity to talk at such a great time agaln in his life, and he could not let the chance go by now, It was the great 1 est time in all his life "I was never engaged in as large war before, It 1 is the largest war of all my life. On the 21st of March, when the Allies were driven towards Paris; there was a terrible misgiying. Kaiser Bill said
