enjoyable affair, both for young and
old present, all of whom hove to have
it repeated at some future date.

The little house is brown and down at
heel
The easements crumble, and the
porches sag,
Complaining hinges hold crooked
gate
And from the chimney sullen smoke
wreaths lag;
But, as | pass, within window hung
/ see a service flag with triple
And all at once the walls grow tall
and fair,
And not an ugly line their beauty
mars;
Carved, stately pillars welcome at the
door,
A reckoning finger from each
chimney starts,
And, in moment changed, the little
brown house
Becomes palace filled with magic
hearts.

Death of a Noble Woman.
MRS. T. 0. CARMEN.

Last Friday at her home near
Ramer Mrs. Tennessee 0. Cannon
died of pneumonia following measels.
The remains were laid away in the
AGamsyille cemetery Saturday even
ing in the presence Of large con-
course of sorrowing relatives and
friends. Elder J. A. Houston con-
Quoted the services at the grave with
the aid of her brother, Rev. R. A. N.
Wilson Of Mississippi. who made a
most touching tribute to the worth Of
a loving sister. The following sketch
gives the events in the life of this
noble woman:
Rosenta Camelia Wilson was born
in Tishomiugo county, Miss, August
Is, 1867; daughter of j. P. and E. F.
Wilson. Her mother died four years
ago, bot her father still lives. Three
sisters, Margaret, Mary and Velma
had also preceded Ter to the spiri,
world. Two brothers, Rev. r. A. N
Wilson and Esq. W. H. Wilson and
three sisters. Bessie, 0phelia and Jes-
sic, survive Ter, She received all the
education the public schools of hel
county could give her, and for severa
years was one of the most successful
teachers in her county.
In 1892 she was married to Ten
nessee 0. Carman. Five children were
born to them: Leland, the Oldest, is
married, he mas been in the mail ser
vice in Memphis for several years, but
is nov on his way to training camp
in South Carolina; Walstine, the sec
ond, has for year been on one of
Uncle Sans submarines in the Pana-
ma canal zone; Kathleen, Wendle and
Thelda are the children at home.
These children, taught and inspired
by such a mother, are credit to any
community.
Mrs. Carman will be missed, not
alone by her family, but by all who
knew her. She became a Christian in
early life and Joined the Cumberland
Presbyterian church. She was good
woman, an ideal neighbor, wife de-
voted and a mother in all that is con-
tanned in that sweet word. True and
loyal to her friends and a heart SO
susceptible to love and sympathy for
a burdened and burning world that it
broke when the load got too heavy.
She is now at rest. The sympathy
and love of all the friends and neigh.
bors go out 70 the stricken husband
and children in their great loss and
the greatest sorrow they have ever
known,

Dear Father:-We reached our des-

We are at Hoboken, N. j.. just across
the Hudson river from New York City
Several of the boys have gone over
there tonight. | expect to 90 in a
day or two. OF course We are here
to sail, but no one knows when that
will be.
People in this part of the country
are certainly alive as to the war, from
Philadelphia on this way, especially.
1t seemed like we were in an elabor-
ate procession all the woy. Locomo-
tives, factories. steamships and every
thing else that could make noise
was in full pitch. AS far as we could
see people we're dropping their work
and crowding the windows, streets
and housetops to yell and wave at us.
And you never heard the like of noise
the engines, ETC., would make. At
the few stops we made people passed
apples. cigarettes. stamped postal
cards, etc, to Us. AS fast as troops
are moving this way, don't see for
the life of me how they can afford to
lose the time and money to shut down
everything and cheer us. This is no
exaggeration, but | can't express it
as strongly as feel 1t. 1t was
enough to make anybody get on his
toes and fight. When got in | was
so hoarse from yelling and so deaf
from the noise that | could hardly talk
or hear.
This is an awfully nice camp. A
whole lot cleaner and neater than
Camp Greene. Instead Of tents. here
we have nice large barracks. We will
be under stricter regulations here
about keeping neat, but it is well
worth it.
Address me at Camp Merritt until
you get definite notice that am gone
somewhere else. If you address me
here after | am gone it will be for
ward-d all right. If should make a
wild guess, should guess that we
will BE- here not less than one week
nor over three weeks. but | may miss
it long way. think | can notify
you just as we leave. but am not sure.
If do, cannot tell the name of the
transport, and the letter will have to
be unsealed.

A limited monarchy is the only
form of government the ignorent
Russians can now stand. ...........
Blackberry winter seems to have
a strong grip on the clerk. The
few slackers who are classed as
deserters, would be wise to show
up and get best terms possible,
lest a worse fate awaits them.
This is war times and the officials
mean business There is not
much Of the roseate tint for the
allies on the fighting line. We
fail yet to see the stragetic trick
up Foch's sleeve We are glad
to note that McNairy has gone
over her third Liberty Bond loan.
Beginning next week we will
publish by districts the names
and amounts subscribed. The
negro draftees seem to be de-
lighted at going, whether from
patriotic purposes or not. When
in battle they will be a holy ter
ror to the bloody Huns........ The
88th birthday gathering at Mt.
Vernon Sunday of DR.. B. F.
Darby was largely attended and
a glorious feast and religious ex-
ercises were held. Ask Beatty
about it. ......... The war will end
when we have won it, and not
until then. The betrayal by
the ignorant leaders of Russia's
rabble was at price unknown
before in the history of any
government. Some leader will
arise to undo the peace compact
made. This weather is too cold
for recently planted cotton to
terminate. In a worlds war
human life seems to be of small
value. Even cyclones and auto
mobile, deaths are more numer-
GUS than our soldiers so far killed
