pearing to the Clerk and Master from
the bill of complaint, which is sworn
to, that Thomas ]. Muckle, one of
the defendants, is nonresident of

The Third Liberty Loan.

Following is a timely editorial
from the New York World.
Every foot of territory that the
Germans have wrested from the
Allies in the spring offensive is an
impressive argument in behalf of
the Third Liberty Loan.
Every shell vomited from German
howitzers upon the French, British
and American troops in France is
a solemn warning to the American
people that they must put all their
financial resources back of their
Government in this supreme conflict
of civilization.
Money is the very first necessity.
Unless it comes freely and I'M
grudgingly the war is lost. With
out it we cannot raise and equip
armies that are essential to replace
the waning man-power of the British
and French. We cannot build the
ships that must be built in order to
transport our troops and feed the
British and French. We cannot con-
tinue the loans to the Allies which
enable them to keep their forces in
the field. This Government cannot
carry out any of its obligations and
responsibilities except as the Ameri-
can people finance all its undertake
5ngs.
Money is the most important

Let Us Do Our Duty.

l feel that each and every wage
Garner, white or black, man or wo-
man, merchant or farmer, black
smith or painter, lawyer or doctor,
teacher or preacher, in fact every
human being in Fulton County,
should buy at least one Liberty
Bond, in an effort to help our Gov
eminent to care for the boys that
are fighting for you and for me
fighting to bring about a universal
and lasting peace for our children
and their children.
now appeal to each person in
this county to buy these bonds, so
that we may become an example,
showing that at least one county
in the State of Kentucky, where
there will not be an adult in it, but
what is doing his duty.
Arrangements have been made
with your local banks SO that you
may make q small cash payment
weekly or monthly on these bonds.
Arrangements should be made with
every employer that he may assist
or loan every employee money to buy
OF least one of these bonds.
Every employer should assure
each employee, who is trying to
make the payments weekly or
monthly, that in event of misfor-
tune or ill luck that prohibits them
paying for the bonds, they should
then step into the employees place
and finish paying for the bond and
refund the amount that has been
paid up to this time, to the employee.
In this way no one would have fears
of undertaking to help the Govern
ment by contracting to buy a Bond.
am requesting and expecting
every employee of mine, male or fe-
male, white or black, to show me
within the next ten days, where they
have bought or commenced to buy
Third Liberty Bond, of at least
$4,000 denomination II they have
not the money to pay for same,
/ will make arrangements to get it
for them.
While do not feel it will be
necessary to force anyone in Fulton
County to help the Government, yet
you can readily see why, if my prop
erty and his was on fire and he
refused to even throw a bucket of
water to help distinguish the flames,
though he was standing near by, 1
don't think would be under any OBJ
legations to furnish him means for
a livelihood much longer.
Our homes and even our very ex-
istence are threatened, the future
of our children and of their children
are at stake. 1t all depends on you
and me doing our whole duty back
here at home to support the noble
boys who are fighting and perhaps
dying for us at this very moment.
There never was a more forcible
statement made than that made by
one of our loyal colored men while
he was bidding farewell to his boys
a few days ago when he said in his
closing appeal to them, that III
they could not bring old glory home
