In Memory of Sister.

The following is written in memo
ry of my dear sister, Miss Eliza San
ders, who died June 20, 1918. She
was 20 years, 3 weeks and , days
old. She had only been sick about
four months. She was sick about
one week before she came to Herrin,
but not bedfast, and had lived here
hardly four months when she died,
The last month of her sickness she
was bedfast. She bore her sickness
with much patience. She was a
good, christian girl and was ready to
meet her Savior. and other chris
tan women prayed with her several
times while she was in bed. She
got so happy twice, she just raised
her little, poor arms and shouted, oh
how happy she did look, and l can't
express how much good it did me
to see her 50 happy. Some times
she would have me and my two 9th
er sisters to sing and play the organ,
for it seemed that good songs and
prayer was so much help and COM
fort to her, but now she has gone
where she can rest and be forever
happy with Jesus, where she can
sing and praise God forever. She
knew everything up to the last mo-
nents and just few minutes before
the last breath left her she said,
"God, fit is not your will for me to
live, take me" She died as tho she
was going to sleep.
There are six of us left, father, two
brothers and three sisters. Our
mother passed away three years ago,
and trust and pray the rest of us
will meet mother and Eliza some
sweet day around the happy throne
of God, where sickness, sorrow and
death never comes. Oh, how we
miss our dear sister, but God knows
best in all things. His will be done,
not ours. Eliza was laid to rest July
3rd in the Red Hill cemetery by the.
side of mother. Bro. Shirley con-
Quoted the funeral services.
Here we have time of sorrow,
pain and anguish day by day, but
there'll come time of gladness in a
home of endless day. Praise the
Lord, how sweet the promise, as we
journey on life's way Up in hea-
ven there'll be no sorrow. God will
wipe all tears away.

In Memory of Ernest Sitz.

The following is written in loving
remembrance of the baby of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Sitz, Ernest Chas.
Sitz, who died July II, 1918.
A precious one from us has gone,
one that we loved so dear has con.
quered all this world below and now
is passed all fear. We all loved
him so dearly, but the angels loved
hm more, and called hun from this
sinful world to a bright and happy
shore. We miss him, oh, we miss
him with words we can't express,
we can't begin to tell how much, for
description would make it less. We
think of him as an angel now, while
his body is peacefully sleeping be
meath quiet mound
God giveth and he takcth and we
ought to say no more, but strive to
live 50 as to meet little Ernest on
that bright, celestial shore.
Ernest Charles was a bright and
blooming child OF only Two or three,
but Jesus saw best to call him away, (
tho it seems as if a dream. Death
is only a dream, we say a dream of
peace and rest, and when we awake !
from that glorious dream we shall be |
eternally blessed.
Oh, Ernest, dear, how can we
stay in this world of sorrow and sin,
since the angels have opened the
pearly gates and thou hast entered in.
IT'S hard to break the tender cord
when love has bound the heart. "ris
so hard to speak the words, 1--WE
must forever part. Our golden
cham on earth is broken, tits started
now in heaven, and now that it may
be completed is our earnest prayer
given. Death is something that is
certain TO the rich, the poor and all.
Then why not be prepared to go
when the angels make the call? Ito
may be in the midnight hours or in
the brightest of the day. No matter
when the time shall come, we all
will have death to face. Oh, En-
nest, dear, when we think of you
tears rise in our eyes; but we know
your soul has gone to rest to man.
sions in the skies.
There is band around the throne
where joys can't be half told. They
needed one more to make it COM
plete, and took our little Ernest
Charles.
Not now, but in the coming years,
itmay be in better land, We'll read
the meaning of our tears and then
we'll understand. And, now, I'll
sing the praises of my King for sal
walton full and free, and bye and bye
We'll meet Ernest Charles who is
waiting in heaven for us. And now
we bid farewell, our heartfelt pray
ers are given, that when we part
with this old world we'll all meet
Ernest in heaven.

AMERICANIZED GERMANISM


we reprint the following story,
which is not at all creditable to
the parties concerned. The SER
geant mentioned is believed to
have been the party recently
touring the valley and telling of
deeds of shame alleged to have
been committed by the Germans
in rather plain words before au-
diences containing large numbers
of women and young girls, things
which would better have been
touched uprn lighter.
"Sergt. Maj. J. Armstrong
Young, late of the Canadian ar
my and Mrs. Mary Story, form
erly mauicurest in the Hotel Pat
ten barber shop, will testify that
marriage is a serious thing, but
that a near-marriage is more so,
for the reason that they have
tried them both. Sergt. Maj.
Young now lies at a local intirm-
airy suffering from two bad gas
attacks he received in France,
and Mrs. Story is at the home OF
a friend suffering mentally from
a recent experience. The ro-
nance, tragedy or comedy began
when the dashing Canadian, who
had so many times come cut OF
the heat of battle without a scar
but who now seems to have met
his Waterloo, first saw the hand
some Mrs. Story in the hotel bar
Der shop, where she manicured
his nails. A mutual admiration
sprang up and the two became
friends and a supper and auto
mobile ride was planned. In the
the meantime. Sergt. Young
went to look up c. c. Alternately.
whom he had met some weeks
previously on a train coming from
New York. He told Mr.. Aber-
nathy of his engagement and the
lawyer told him he would take
him out in his automobile, which
he did. After jining, the SER
geant, Mrs. Story, and Mr.. Alb
ernathy attended the speaking
of Gov. Tom C. Rye. Leaving
the speaking the three stopped
at Mr.. Abernathy's office for a
few minutes. While there sew
eral others came in after the
speaking, among them reporters
of both papers. They were told
that the sergeant and Mrs. Sto-
ry wanted to get married and
seeing a good newspaper story
one of the reporters offered to get
the license. He was then told it
was a joke, but to get some one
to initiate a preacher just for
little fun.
The Saturday night, before
M. J. Koran had caused much
merriment at the Elks' club with
a speaking with which he was
playing deaf, some one said, get
Mr.. Koran and his tube" he was
telephoned for and told to come
over and bring whoever was in
the club. In a few minutes Mr..
Koran came in bringing about
forty Elks with him. He was in
troduced as Parson johnson, a
Holy Roller preacher.
"Mr. Koran then spent consid-
cradle time making the intended
bride understand him and finally
she said 1T looks like you could
get something better than that
deaf thing to perform the cere-
mony." He looks more like a
squire" some one said, and an
other man said, He must be a
member of the county court, for
they couldn't hear nor see half
that went on" Mr.. Koran had
an almanac in his hand and start
ed to read the ceremony. Ash
es to ashes. he began. .

cense." And everybody then
laughed including Mrs. Story and
it was told then it was all joke
and everybody joined in. In a
few minutes Mrs, Story said to
Sergt Young, Let's go to Ross
vile and get married. " Sergt.
Young then said, why, am al
ready married. we were just hav-
ing some fun and | didn't think
you were serious and thought you
were going to carry it so far and
then STOP" The two then left
and proceeded to waive all rights
of marriage, and going to the
Patton registered as man and
wife. The following morning
| they were discovered and, OF
course, ordered from the hotel.
Mrs. Story then lost her position
and asked the sergeant for enough
money to go to her sister in Vir-

he has delayed it until the anX-
ious woman became desperate
and told the story of what she

There is whole lot of this
stuff about German crueltles
which is untrue-now, don't ac-
cuse US of Germanism, for we
are not guilty, but want the truth
and Gen. Pershing is getting
tired of it himself. These ser
geants" are too enthusiastic and
can't keep strictly to facts. 10
prove this statement we reprint
the following dispatch from
Washington:
Washington, July H. State
ments of German cruelties at
tributed by a St. Louis newspa-
per to an unnamed sergeant of
the American eXpeditionary
forces sent to the United States
to assist in the third liberty loan
are denied by Gen. Pershing in a
cablegram made public last
night by the war department.
Gen. Pershing recommended
that if the sergeant was quoted
correctly, he be returned imme-
diately to France for active duty.
The statements attributed to
the sergeant were quoted in Gen.
Pershing's cablegram as follows:
The Germans give poisoned
candy to the children to eat, and
hand grenades for them to play
with. They show glee at the
children's dying writings and
laugh aloud when the grenades
explode. | saw one American
boy about II years old who had
been captured by the Germans
come back to our trenches. He
had cotton in and about his ears.
| asked someone what the cotton
was for.
1.-The Germans cut off his
ears and sent him back to tell us
they want to fight men, was
the answer. They feed Ameri-
cans tuberculosis germs.
There is no foundation what
ever for such statements based
on any experience we have had"
Gen. Pershing said"
This Sergeant Young in a |
speech at Whitwell. stated that
when the Canadians made their
famous charge, for every man
who went to heaven" he sent
five Germans to hell. This is
war, of course, and seems to be
the only way to win a war, but
a lieutenant who spoke in this
city, told of this same charge and
said that by blunder the Cana
dams were ordered to charge a.
cross a morass, and the result
was while helping one another
out of the slime, they were shot
down by German machine guns. |
The stories do not coincide and
and We would like for Gen. Per-
shing to state which is true,
whether the 1900 Canadians shot
down five times that number of
Germans until their number was
