tinucd to be First Lord | would ccr-

GREENE COUNTY
SOLDIER BROUGHT
HOME FOR BURIAL

The remains Of John McNabb, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM McNabb, who
resides near Ottway, arrived in
Greeneville Saturday and was taken
to his home for burial. McNabb vol
in the navy about four
months ago, since which time he has
been located at Norfolk, Va. A few
weeks ago he contracted measles,
which resulted in a complication of
disease, causing his death on last
Monday. He is survived by his par
ents, wife and three small chill
dren. He was "a years of age, not
within the draft age, therefore his
services were rendered the govern
ment voluntarily and without solicit
tation. This fact make his death
keenly felt among our citizens, those
who appreciate the sacrifice he has
made, and the sympathy of our peo-
pie go out to the aged parents, widow
and children in their bereavement.
Interment took place at Carriers Sta
ton Saturday afternoon, and the
funeral was largely attended.

Help Us Out
If You Can

In order that the Chatauqua might
be secured for Greeneville, the edi-
tor Of the Sun obligated himself for
twenty-four season tickets. This
was done from the promise of mem
bers of the committee that we would
be assisted in disposing Of them.
Our duties have been such that we
have had no time to make canvass
of the city and sell these tickets. As
a result, we have most all Of them on
hands unsold. They represent in an
aggregate, $50 in cash. In view of
the fact that we have given space in
both the Daily and Weekly Sun for
the past two weeks in an earnest eff
fort to make the Chautauqua a sue
cess-spcce that would amount to
over 800 dollars Of charged for at
our regular rates, we feel that we
should not be allowed to suffer an adj
ditional loss in the sale of these tick
cts, end this notice is to ask those Of
our citizens who have not obligated
themselves, or as yet purchased sea-
son tickets, to purchase them Of us.
If you win call the Sun office over
ether phone, we viii send the tickets
to you any where in the city and will
certainly appreciate your assistance
in the matter. This is the last day
before the opening.

LETTER FROM c. c. ARMITAGE

In response to demand from our
citizens for a more definite state
ment in regard to my policies, in case
I should be elected mayor of Greene

First, that so far as my duties ex-
tend, will endeavOr to administer
the affairs of the city in the most
economical way possible consistent
with good government and with the
demands for needed improvement
Second, that as soon as practi-
cable, the public shall be advised of
the financial standing of the city and
shall be kept advised, from time to
time, through the medium Of quarter
ly reports, showing receipts and dis
bursements of all moneys handled.
Third, that the educational inter
ests of the town shall be regarded
and the improvement Of our schools
looked to, so far as my influence in
this direction may extend.
Fourth, that the moral interests of
the town shall not be overlooked, but
that they shall receive due consider
alton at all times, and that places of
ill repute shall be eliminated so far as
possible.
In regard to amusements and en-
tertainments, want to say that / am
not opposed to any entertainments
whatever which are Lecent and ele-
waiting in their tendencies. / hearth
ly endorse amusements and enter
talnments which are not demorallzlng
and degrading in their effects. It is
only the dirty, vile, indecent and i'm
moral features, of some of the shows
that come among us, against which !
would exert my Influence.
Fifth, recognize the fact that the
demands and needs of the various sec
tons of the town are not always pre-

LETTER FROM D. P. MASON

want to explain my position on
the hog question, as that seems to be
one Of The issues against me. There
is an ordinance against the keeping
of hogs inside the old corporate lin,
its, and if / am not mistaken, it was
by vote of the people some years
ago. This ordinance has never been
repealed, and is still in force, and if
true could only be repealed by vote
of the people, A few months ago
there was a petition presented, asking
the Board to allow the keeping of
hogs inside the old and new limits of
the town. The petition was present.
ed, and there being no second, the
same was withdrawn. In debating
the subject we passed resolution al
lowing the new part of the city that
was voted in two years ago to keep
hogs, leaving the matter entirely with
their neighbors. We did not think
it advisable to throw the thickly set
tied part of town open for hogs, as
we have been endeavoring for the
last six years to get the town in as
sanitary condition as possible, and do
not think it would be advisable to
keep hogs in the old city limits after
the expenditure of the amount of
money after the opinion of our ply
sicians as to the hog pens being one
of the Greatest fly breeders known.
It would be shame to dot our little
city with hog pens in the thickly set
tied business and residence portions
of the town, and where the drainage
would more than likely reach our
spring and cause more contamination.
The citizens elected me each time,
| believe, thinking would do my du-
ty, and would look after the office of
mayor, and the duties of the office.
As have slater before, / have done
the best could, and of course made
mistakes (the man who don't make
them never does anything. There
are some things in my administra-
ton, and which are being held up
against me, which / don't think / am
responsible for individually, and if
those who have been so industriously
pointing out these matters would take
the pains to make fair investigation
of the situation, / feel sure they
would change their views in the mat
ter. ! desire to state, also, that l
have never had but one occasion to
cast deciding vote since ! have been
your mayor.
1t has come to me, in an indirect
way, that it is being circulated that |
have failed to pay corporation taxes
for some time past. l don't believe
any considerable number of our citi-
zens will give this statement very
much weight, for certainly the facts
could be easily ascertained by asking
for figures regarding my account with
the corporation. l repeat that can't
believe that any considerable num-
Der of our citizens will give credencc
to reports of this character, and |
only refer to it that they might be
prepared to weigh carefully rumors
of this character, allowing their bet
ter Judgment to prevail.
Very truly,
D. P. MASON.

waste one hour that can now be

The inability, or refusal, of Bolhe-
Wiki Russia to do her part in the
great war for liberty and demo
cracy has cast a terrible added bur
den upon the Allies On the east
.ern front this has meant the tenn
porary Allied ruin and the freeing
of the armies of the autocracy for
action against the western peoples.
England, France and Belgium for
four years and Italy for over three
years have been fighting the battle
OF civilization. Their man power is
terribly depleted. Thank heaven
we have. got some hundreds of
thousands Of soldiers across in time
to be a real element In saving Paris.
Our first duty, If we wish to win
the war, Is to savasRaris, Temper
arily, at least and I hope perman-
emily, we have done our part in
this respect. But the least falter-
ing, the least letting up, or failure
in pushing forward our prepara-
tions and our assistance, would be
dangerous to the Allied cause and a
wicked. desertion of our allies.
From now on America should make
this peculiarly Americas war. From
now we should take the burden of
the war upon our shoulders We
should move forward at once with
