The patriotic meeting last Sunday
night at the M. E. church, under the
immediate management of Thomas
Claspill, was in all respects a very sat-
isfactory affair. The Roll of Honor
displayed above the pulpit contained
the names of twenty five of our brave
boys who are now in France or train
ing for work there, being a good per-
centage of our small population. The
enthusiastic crowd that attended was
as large as the church could accommo-
date. The patriotic songs were sung
with a spirit never excelled. AS each
name on the Honor Roll was called
some relative or friend gave a brief
sketch of his whereabouts and his
work. Two of the boys Leslie Eddy
and Lyal Shellman, who had been SER
iously wounded with their faces to the
foe, were among those named on the
Roll. Rev. A. Monroe pronounced the
grafton in a mastery way with high
class dramatic effect. If our loved
boys could have seen and heard this
meeting they would have fully realized
that the hearts of those at home were
with them in their holy work
The Red Cross meeting having end
ed its vacation, resumed work again

Six carloads of wheat have already
been shipped from Dietrich to help
form the bone and sinew of our fight

order to provide the best we have for
our boys over the water. Two cars of
early potatoes are being loaded for
