Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1918-06-14

Ernest @. Brsendine. prominent
Ito fraternal circles in Paris. and
who has been district representa-
/ tive for the Woodmen of the
World, has volunteered il the u
MICA. for over sea work. and
will leave in a few DAYS to assume
this new work. Mr.. Brisendine,
accompanied by Miss Turner, of
Vale. spent the week end here,
working in the interest of the
Woodmen of the World.
Horace N. Hawkins, who was
reared in Huntingdon, but who is
now one Of the most widely known
lawyers 10 Denver. Colorado. has
been named one of the councllmen
of that great city. Mr.. Hawkins
is a democrat and the mayor who
appointed him is republican. but 4
non partisan administration has
been inaugurated. Mr.. Hawkins
accepted the appointment as pub
lie duty and will give his best ser
vice in upbuilding and beautifying
the city.
The citizens of Huntingdon
should set a day apart for public
working and cut the grass and
weeds from our, cemeteries. They
do this in the country and why
not in town. Our cemeteries GER
tainly need something done to
them along this line. In our pa
triotism to Uncle Sam we should
not forget to show proper respect
to the memory of our loved ones
who are sleeping in the homes Of
the dead here. This would be an
other evidence of real patriotism
any way.
Bro Earl Gooch has accepted the
call to the missionary work of West
Kentucky Association, and is this
week moving to Fulton, which is
to be headquarters. He is a pro-
duct Of Hall Moony, and is de-
veloping into a strong preacher.
While we regret to lose him from
our midst, we rejoice in the fact
that he goes no further from us,
and many friends will watch the
results with prayerful interest. ~
The Baptist Builder. MIR. Gooch
was formerly a resident of this
county. and his relatives and
friends here will rejoice in the
splendid progress he is making in
his chosen work.
1t is likely a campaign will be-
gin soon with the slogan Enroll
for farm work on Saturday. In
fact this campaign has already
started in many of the southern
states where farm labor is scarce.
It is a time honored custom for
farmers to lay off at least Saturday
afternoons and spend the time 60
log to town, fishing, hunting, or
j any other way desired. But
under present COT ditions the farm
ers can hardly afford to lose the
ii ne out of their crops and in
many sections the request to do
away with Saturday holidays will
meet with hearty response.
We understand there are peo-
pie in this section who have bought
cars saying that they have some
money and they believe the gov
eminent will force them to put
some of it in bonds or war saw
ings stamps If they keep it, and
that they are going to put their
money in cars or anything they
please, and have good time while
they can. This is slackefism to
the extreme. Their neighbor boys
may go, suffer and die, but what
do they care so long as they have
"a good time. The government
should see to it that such fellows
are given something to do. If
they are not willing to do volun-
teerly they should be made to do.
Rev. g. G. Hines attended the
Minister'S Institute held Wednes-

institute was to study how the
churches may make the best use
of their opportunities for war ser,
vice, and confer together upon the
subject of the moral aims Of war
and the part the churches and re-
ligious organizations shall have in
reshaping conditions following the
war. Among the distinguished
speakers for the occasion were
Rev. Sir George Adam Smith,
principal of Aberdeen University.
