OFF for the War.

Patriotism was manifested on the
public square last Friday afternoon
when the many young men of
Adair county who had passed for ser
vice, who at the sound of the bugle,
fell into line, the stars and stripes
floating, and marched around the
square. Parents, wives, brothers, and
sisters, aud sweethearts, were here.
and while the boys had enlisted to
tight for their country-no greater
honor could come toithem-the shak-
ing of the hand was a Serious thing
and the words goodbye" were hard
to say. There were thirty-four i'm
number, all leaving at o'clock Satur-
day morning. We believe that they,
one and all will do their duty, and we
hope that the entire number will be
permitted to return shome at the
close OF hoStilitieS, and not one bring
back a charge that Returned his back
to the foe. KentuckianS, born fight
ers, and we believe thatsGod will s1s-
tain them in this the .greatest strug-
gle known to the world. when peace
has been declared president Wilson
will write theiterms andsthe boys will
come home shoutingla all honor to
"Uncle Sam" and sthis free and en-
lightened country, made so by the pa
triotism of her sons, who!were determ-
ined to never bend the knee to Mon
arch, entreatingl only that divine
Being who rulesi and governs the uni
verse.
In the afternoon thirty-two Russell
county boys whose names are publish
ed in this paper arrived, full of en-
thusiasm, headed by Hugh Ross.
They left for theiCamp: after taking
supper. TheRparting in: Russell was
as pathetic as the one recorded above.
May God keep them Gin the hollow of
his hand, and may they, too, be per-
mitted 20 return andnreceive the en-
braces Of parents andi sisters and the

Poach Your Egg and
Eat the Hen Later!

The poultry specialists of The Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
say, will aid 100000 600 eggs to our
food supply this year withour reducing
our supply of chicken meat. Investi-
gators have found that because poul-
try brings 2 cents a pound more in
winter than in late spring, many far
mers in the South have been throwing
away valuable egg profits just to get 8
cents more per hen. They believe
that if farmers will keep their laying
hens and sell their eggs and then mar
ket the birds in the late spring, they
will not only add to the food supply,
but actually increase their profits so
cents per hen.

Goose Green People Are Arranging for
Big "Bawl."

Flabbergasted by the reception which
awaited their latest decision, citizens Of
Goose Green almost forgot to observe
Thanksgiving yesterday, and instead of
lingering around the so-called festive
board, most of them are members of the
committee in charge of the big husking

cent goes to the City hospital, and in
making their appeal for patronage, the
Green people are stressing the fact that

which they hope to achieve. Mystery
wells the program for the entertainment
that is to follow in the aftermath Of the
bawl, for just now all efforts are be.

the Goose Green renascence.
Tonight in the court room at city hall
there will be general committee meet

member has been served with personal
subpoena, and no excuses will be ac-

known quarter had bought 20 tickets,
after yowing that all but one of them
would be destroyed forthwith, has caused
unexpected commotion, and develop
