"TWICE LOYAL"
BY MRS. WHITE
Entertaining and Historic Story Of the
Southland is Written by
Resident of
Warsaw.

Mrs. Mary K. White, of Warsaw
has written most interesting story
of the southland, composition
spread upon a canvas showing pic.
lures of persons and places that
remain long after the reader
has completed perusal of the
book. Twice Loyal presents a prob.
lem that may be faced by any
woman, any man. Whether to go
forward or remain with matters and
things as they are is the question to
be solved in facing remarriage. In
these days of neurotic and erotic
literature it is a pleasure to read a
volume cast in other and more
homely lines. Mrs. White has made
full and good use of her knowledge
of the people of the south and the
country in which they live. While
Twice Loyal is a love story, there
is an entire lack of sickly sentimen-
tally and the characters depicted are
men and women of force. 1t is con-
tribution to literature of which the
author may well be proud. In the
of the reconstruction prob.
lem she displays judicial fairness and
neither those of the north nor south
will find cause for resentment at any
word within the covers of Twice
Loyal"

Jessie Miller of East Carthage, is
numbered among our influenza deaths,
he having died Thursday morning,
after week or ten days illness from
the dread disease. Jessie was the
son of Walter and Anna '(Brown)
Miller, and was born June %, 1896,
at sthe Miller home eight miles east
of Carthage, being the oldest son,
and at the time Of his death was
aged % years, months and IA days.
Jessie was among our drafted boys,
and was called to report for camp in
the last call, but on account OF the
influenza the call was cancelled and
he was not able to enter the service
of his country although he was
anxious and willing to go into train
ing and if need be into actual SER
vice. He has been assisting his father
with the farming operations, where
he was interested in the work. He
was among our most esteemed young
men, and held the respect and admi-
ration of his many acQuaintances and
his death comes as a severe blow to
the family and friends.
Jessie was visiting at one of the
neighbors when he was stricken with
the influenza, and was never able to
go to his home. His mother came
at once to assist in his care, but she.
too, contracting the disease was
taken home, and she and the youngest
son are now suffering from the same.
The father then took upon himself
the task of caring for his son Jessie,
while the wife and another son were
at home i'll, but all that loving hands
could do was to no avail as Jessie
had taken critically I'LL, and there
seemed no hope of his recovery from
the first.

is WOUNDED
Keokuk Soldier Reported Severely
Wounded Early in November
by War Depart
ment.

In the casualty list of today is
the name of Theodore Newihgham as
severely wounded overseas, on No
vember 3.
His father, William Newingham, re-
ceived telegram from the adjutant
general of the army on December 4,
ten days ago, giving the same infor-
nation. At that time the soldiers
sister was in Keokuk hospital seri-
ously sick with bad heart, and her
physician said it might kill her to
learn of her brothers serious condi-
ton. Hence a conspiracy kept the
news suppressed until now, and in
the meantime it was broken carefully
to Miss Nottingham. Nothing further
has been heard about the condition
of the soldier since the first telegram
from the war department.
Private Newingham left Keokuk
last June and went first to Camp
Dodge. He went to France with his
regiment, the 360th infantry, in which
he is in Company X. Before the war
he worked for the city and helped
his father who was a teamster living
at 1913 Concert street and is now a
farmer in the environs of Keokuk.
His last letter home was written
in September. His brother Frank,
who enlisted earlier, has been in
France over a year with the ordnance
corps and has not been heard from
since last April by his parents.
