Army Under the Sod.
You know, men often ask me what
are the lines Of the British army. A
man said the other day: What is your
biggest army, where is the biggest
British army? / said: Don't you
know?' He said: ''No, do not" |
said The biggest British army Is
under the sod That Is, where the
biggest British army Is. In the first
few months Of the war-these figures
are quite authentic, 1 verified them at
the British embassy before I venture
to put them before youth the first;

son for this heavy loss was the fierce,
fighting in Flanders. You read about
Passchendaele~ and .Vimy Ridge and
they are names to you, but oh. the cost
of them. We lost $1,000 men in one
month killed in Flanders, a portion of

UNION SERVICES
N THE TENT

On Sabbath evening at 5
O'Clock a great union religious
service of all the churches of
the city will be held in the
Chautauqua tent, which has
been so kindly loaned for that
purpose by the management.
The service will seek to bring
consolation to the hearts that
are grieving because Of the
empty chairs at the home ia
bic. The music will be the
finest that is available, and the
sermon will be preached by
Rev. DR.. Yost whose name is
synonymous with eloquence.
It is hoped that the announce
ment may travel far and that
very many who are living out
Of town may be present. All
are invited and particularly
hose who need God just now.

ECLIPSE OF The SUN.

Greeneville citizens win have a
chance to see a total eclipse of the
sun this afternoon about 4:45. This
is the last chance you will have to wit
ness another total eclipse for $50
years. Total eclipses are happening
somewhere in the world most of the
ine, but they get all over the coun-
tr only about once in every three
and half centuries.
The big black shadow will be caus-
ed by the moon swinging between the
earth and the sun. 1t will cut dag
onal swath across the United States,
and only in certain section win the
eclipse be total. 1t will not be to-
tai eclipse here--howeYer 1t will be
so nearly so that the small part of
the sun left will be difficult to see.
The result, therefore, will be almost
equal to a total eclipse.
You need not become alarmed if
you see the chickens go to roost. An
imals of all kinds may be expected to
act queeerly, No doubt many who
have not been appraised of the fact
will become hysterical. If you hap
pen to see person praying along
about this time, don't disturb him
let him alone. The eclipse may prove
a blessing in disguise to some people.
Get your smoked glass ready The
eclipse may not be as complete as has
been announced, therefore be ready
to witness the phenomine to full adj
vantage.

GOOD TOBACCO
PLANTING SEASON

The recent rains have enabled the
farmers to get their tobacco plants
set in good shape. In some sections
where plants were set during the ex-

that have been set, however, during
the past week are all looking fine, and
indications now point to a large acre
