| Of CURNEY PAGE
Eloquen Tributes to the Young
Man From Toisnot Who
Gave His Life
FOR HIS COUNTRY
FOR HIS COUNTRY
CONTINUED from yesterday

Mr.. Ferrell introduced Mr.. j. d.
Gold, editor of the Times, as one
moved with deep patriotic sentiment
and love for the boys who have
gone over there.
Mr.. Gold referred to the kindly
reference by Dr. Moore in endeav-
oring to assist Mr. Bullock of the
Council of Defence in his very
praiseworthy effort to preserve for
future history the noble achieve
ments, the unfaltering courage and
the unexampled sacrifice that oui
boys are making in keeping the
savage Hun the desecrator of homes
and all that is sacred from the fair
land Of America and added that all
that we can say, all the words of
praise that we can give, all the hon.
to the great service they are render
ing to us and to their country. The
deeds of such men as Curney Page
will live in history as long as the
world lasts and generations yet un-
born will sing his praises.
When the average man dies the
mourners go about the streets and
a few follow him to his last resting
place but when man dies in a
cause which finds no parallel in all
history for the upholding of truth,
virtue, honor and civilization histOri-
ans who have not yet seen the light
will picture how Curney Page and
his brave comrades on the sunny
slopes of France charged up the
hill in the face of the hurling shot
and shell that you and might live
in the enjoyment of liberty and oul
| God given rights and humanity
might be free. He must have
| thought of his dear father at home
Gt work, of his mother and his bro
theirs and sisters and compared
the treatment that would be accord
ed them if the accursed Hun shoul(
have the same opportunity to reacf
them as he has in Belgium ant
France, where he has spared none
in his ruthless campaign of. crime
and savagery.
Curney saw this and our Ameri
can boys know this and therefor,
you will see they ask no quarter
and give none and the savage HUI
who is afraid of their steel is run
ming and will continue to run unit
our American boys take the king de
vii of them all the Kaiser, from his
palace at Potsdam and place il
chains to remain forever an outcas
from all civilization and all tha
true men hold most dear.
Mr.. Gold then read a messag
from Mr.. Bullock, historian for tn,
Council of Defense, commendinf
the father and his family to the ten
der mercy of God who looks afte
all who place their trust in Him.
/ Mr.. Ferrell called on Mr.. Walter
Woodard, Chairman of the Council
Of Defense for this country sayinl
that Mr.. Woodard was setting
good example in the matter Of econ
omy SO greatly NEEDED in the win
ming of the war.
i Mr.. Woodard replied in shor
message that he came out with Mrs
Woodard to pay silent tribute
to our dead hero and had beel
greatly impressed with the service
i Mr.. Ferrell then closed the meet
ing witt number of references t.
the young man We met to honor
He told the story of the Russian no
bleman who was travelling on tn
, wild Steppes of Siberia with his lit
tie daughter and a friend. TIL
sleigh was drawn by four horse
and two of these were sacrificed t
the rapacity of wolves who follow
ed them. The friend then said,
: will go next and he flung himsel
: from the sled and was devoured b
he wolves. The nobleman'r li..i
laughter looked up into the fsco
her father and said, Didn't he lov
!, us?" and say hore today that Cul
' ney Page loved US.
