269 per cent of her quota. The pa
triotic citizens OF Tishomingo Com-
ty have never failed yet since the
beginning of this war to go OVER
THE TOP on any proposition that
the Government has asked at the
hands OF Tishomingo County. And
the more the good people OF the
County learn about the war and OF
the German cruelty and barbarism
and the just cause that brought us
ilto this war, the more ready we are
t. do anything that is in our power
to uphold the hands of the president
and promote this war in every way
that we are called upon, in order to
bring it to the speediest close con
sistant with an honorable and last
ing peace.
During the Liberty Loan drive
every man who took a Liberty bond
fired shell at the Kaiser which hit
somewhere in Germany and the
damage it wrought, we will read Of
in the history Of this war. We are
in this issue publishing the names
of every person in Tishoming Coun-
ty who bought a Liberty bond of
the third issue. And | would sug-
gest that every family keep a copy
of this paper in which his name APP
pears for in the furture ages it will
be a matter of more honor than it
is considered today.
1t is possible that in tabuIating the
purchasers of the Liberty Bonds that
some names may be omitted from
the paper, and if there is any person
who bought a Liberty bond whose I
name does not appear do not hest |
tate to call my attention, for it is
an oversight that could not be avoid.
ed and |. will see that your name is !
in the paper next week.
The chairmen of the different |
divisions deserve great credit for
leaving their work and business |
and giving their time and paying
their own expenses without a cent
of charge or word of complaint, in
fact, they were glad to be able to
render the service to their country.
w. S. Brown, chairman OF the pub |
licity committee, ]. c. Jourdan,
chairman of Sales Committee, I. A.
Clark, chairman of the Speakers
Bureau r. M. Sparks, W. o. Jack
son, L. T. Gains, r. G. Riggan, },
A. E. Pyle, of the executive Com,
deserve very great credit for they |
not only put in their time but were
at considerable personal expense in |
putting this campaign OVER THE !
TOP. All of which they were more
than glad to do for the promotion
of this great cause for which we are |
fighting | would not close this ar
ticle without making mention of j.
T. Blissette, chairman of the third |
Supervisors District, who was ably |
assisted in his work by Il. p. Holder
in the third district; and G. r. Ste
phens, w. W. Shook chairmen of the |
fourth and fifth districts; also, Charlie
Furry, Chas. p. Wofford, and Dr.
A. +. Bostick of the fifth district |
and ]. NJ. Woodroff and John Floyd |
of the second district, without the !
assistance of whom we would not |
have been able to have gone so
far over the top at such a great dis
lance. These gentlemen deserve
more credit than | can give them in |
words.
Ii there is anyone in Tishomingo |
County who is able to buy a Liberty |
bond and hasn't, or who is able to |
buy a war savings stamp and hasn't |
or who is able to contribute to the |
Red Cross and hasn't; God pity him. /
There will be no place in the world |
that he can live in peace when this
war is over.
There is no neutral ground in this |
war. Every person in the world to |
day is either Pro-German or against |
the Germans and when this war
is over the Germans will be wiped |
out and every man who has not
done what he could to help, win
this war and make this a decent
place to live in will be an object of |
scorn and contempt of every citizen
no! only of the comnu lity in which
he lives but of the world.
