CITY CELEBRATES
PEACE .RUMOR"

Thursday noon about IL: 80 tele-
gram was received at Water Valley
announcing the signing of an armis-
tice with Germany. Upon receipt of
the news the people went wild with
joy, all the factory, railroad shops,
city Power Plant and all locomotives
in the yards turned their whistles
loose and for about an hour their
screeching made such din you could
hardly ''hear yourself think" When
the glorious news was announced at
tn /. C. shops, all the workmen threw
down their tools and quit work-the
public schools and all the stores clos
ed and the people congregated on the
streets where they passed the after
noon In jubilant celebration of the
happy news. At night an impromptu
parade headed by the band. marched
up and down Main street, while fire.
works, cannon firecrackers and anvils
did their part until late in the night.
Later dispatches failed to confirm
the rumor Of the signing of the armis-
tice, however the citizens kept right
on celebrating just the same, for
they realized that Germany was whip
ped to a frazzle anyway and 1t was
only question, perhaps, of hours
that the Kaiser and his ''baby killers
must sign the armistice if they hadn't
already done so.
Even If the armistice was not sign
ed at the time, it did US all good to
do little shouting for our brave
boys who are doing such great fight
ing on the Western front-their
string of continued victories every
day is more than enough to cause a
little celebration occasionally.

LEAD
In BOTH HOUSES

WASHINGTON, Nov. AT least
half the Senate and decisive majori-
ty in the House was assured to the
Republicans on the basis of avail
able, but still incomplete, returns
from Tuesdays elections.
Two Senate seats-in Michigan and
Idaho-still remained in doubt, with
the Republican candidate in Michi-
gan, Truman H. Newberry, leading
Henry Ford for senator, and Nugent
of Idaho, Democrat, reported gradual
ly losing small majority to his Re-
publican opponent, former Gov. Good
ing.
Doubt regarding the outcome of
the senatorial contest in New Mexico
between Senator FAN, Republican,
and Representative Walton, Demo-
crat, apparently was removed with re-
turns crediting Mr.. Fall with re-
election. That gives the Republicans
40 senator's as against 46 assured for
the Democrats, and the Michigan and
Idaho seats in doubt.
With two House districts still in
doubt, shifts today in results previ-
ously reported leave the House as
follows:
Republicans, 2S8; Democrats, 194,
including one independent and one
Socialist.
In Mississippi the election was a
very quiet affair-all the Democratic
nominees being elected with practic-
ally no opposition. Both State A
mendments were defeated.

ton not given.

of Justice and right and his memory
will forever be revered by ALL Ell
toms name will be enrolled on the
nations honor roll of heroes, and
his parents, while their hearts are
filled with grief, should rejoice over
the noble, honorable and patriotic
sacrifice their son made for humani-
TVS sake.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart has two
other sons, Dolphus and Leroy, now
