Edgar. Peyton Dies From
Wounds Received In Battle

Mr.. William Peyton received word
today through a letter written to Bu-
ford West from his brother, Stewart
West, that his son Edgar Peyton, had
died from wounds received in battle
while engaged with the enemy in ST.
IBERIA. Young Peyton had been with
the American forces for about year
and had been transferred to the expe-
dictionary forces only recently. Stew
|art West, the other local boy with
him, was wounded in the same en-
gagement, but has fully recovered, ac-
cording to his letter. The Peyton boy
was held in high esteem by his friends
and both he and his comrade, West,
were formerly employed by the Home
Tobacco Company Of this city. The
sympathy of the entire community is
extended to the family of this young
man who has paid the supreme sacri-
flee for his country.

Banquet For Returned
gl'-s,+. Soldiers and Sailors

The banquet to be given by the
churches for the returned sailors and
soldiers on Tuesday evening in the
parlors of the First Christian church
is going forward. This the first func-
tion in recognition Of the men
have been in the service, several hun
dred of whom have already returned
to the county. In view of the fact that
many of these men have been home
for months, it is desired to honor them
in this way and not wait for the re-
turn of all the men, many of whom
may be in France for six months or a
year. Later when the majority of
the Madison county men are at home
it is expected to have an out of door
function on a large scale to do honor
to the men who have honored the com
munity from which they went. The
chairman of the committee has son
in France, but is thinking also of the
splendid men who have already re-
turned from the service and who
should be welcomed before the op-
porttlnity grows old. The churches
believe that nothing is too good fol
the men who bore arms for Christian
Democracy.
On account of the fact that it has
been impossible to reach all the mer
with personal invitation. those who
can be present are requested to ad-
wise Mrs. John R. Pates at once. The
banquet win be served at six o'clock

Berea Citizen Thinks
Madison Has Made Mistake

In an editorial appearing in the last
issue of the Berea Citizen the follow
L gin comment was made on the recent
road tax election held in Madison
county: It follows;
Madison County's Mistake
The United States Government has
made a wonderful overture to the
counties, agreeing to give large a
mount of money out of the Govern
tent Treasury for the Improvement
Of roads to all those counties which
would tax themselves for this purpose.
Besides this the State offered to help
those counties that would help them
selves. Madison county has just voted
to not accept these great gifts.
In other words in order to avoid
giving ourselves little money for
good roads, we have lost the oppor-
tunity to get great deal of money
hs free gift from the State and
Nation.
There could be nothing more short
sighted than this kind of stingness.
Nothing improves the value of prop
erty so much as good roads. Good
loads bring everybody nearer to
market and the markets nearer to
everybody. And good roads are more
easily kept up than poor ones. Madi-
son County made big mistake.

but I incline to think that women
will not turn upon one another,
and that they are likely to claim
self-protection because they are, in
these matters. the chief sufferers.
In two directions. notably, expect
change, affiliation and the age of
consent. 5-..
Until the beginning of the CEN
tury, women showed little sign of
supporting one another on thoss
two points; they were enthralled
by mechanical moral laws: they
tended to take of moral lapses as
harsh views as did men, and sone.
times they were harsher still: an
obscure sex envy seemed TO drive
them to cast the fiest stone when
mnn hesitated.
The suffrage propaganda has done
much to shatter this attitude. By
raising a definite sex issue, by main
tanning 1t in a state of extreme
publicity from 1905 to 1918, it has
banded together millions Of women
and to a certain extent banded

Nursing AS An Avocation
A PRACTICAL ARTICLE OF VALUE

dietary laws, they haven't given
themselves nearly enough time for
rest and sleep and relaxation.
A short course in nursing would
therefore be of inestimable value to
every business woman. She could
regard it as an avocation, and IL
her work during the day is some
thing entirely different-like office
work, or factory or sales work
she would find the differences in oc-
cupation relaxing instead OF ex-
hausting.
Two things would be accom-
plished. In the first place. she
would learn how to take better care
Of her own body and mental atti-
tude. In the second place. the in
terest in nursing as an avocation
might eventually tempt her to adopt
1t as a permanent profession.
A change of occupation is some-
times the spiritual remaking OF
woman at a time of life when her
accustomed work has grown unen-
durably monotonous. And nursing
offers many compensations in its
opportunity for genuine service,
study and scientific interest.
Not everybody can be a nurse. 1t
requires patience, deftRess and a
sound constitution. All these things
can't be acquired suddenly by the
mature, woman. But every woman
can learn enough about nursing in
a brief course to teach her how to
preserve her own health and check
oncoming disease, and thus also en-
able her to be Of service on emerg-
ency to others.

What you saw tonight was not my

all I can say and all I will say"
Then 1t was that Mildred Brent
burst into tears.
"oh, 1 have been horrid to you!"
she exclaimed. 81 know that! But
1 am all upset. You can't under
stand"
why can't II"
Because you don't know the
things that Tom has said-how
things were between him and me.
The very last time l saw him he
insisted that. he cared for nobody
but me, and that he wanted me to
give him just as much of my af-
fection as I could. He said he
would teach me to love him more
than everybody else in the world"
But you don't?" Honora re-
marked.
There was a note OF interroga-
tion in the statement, and the
other answered it.
mo, but ! came pretty near it
at least he thought / did. And
let him kiss me, and I kissed him
back, too"
Honora bit her lips to keep from
speaking what was In her mind.
She was indignant, yet compassion
ate. "

whether I'll take him or Arthur
Bruce. I'll take Arthur, IL only for
the sake of spiting Tom"
"But 1t won't spite him. my
dear" her sister said, sunless he
loves you"
"I'll make him as uncomfortable
as he has made me-" Mildred de-
clared.
Then you dont's love him at ALL"
Honora commented. He has hurt
your vanity, MiIly; not your heart.
Be glad of that, dear"
'Tm not glad Of anything yet"
Mildred protested. But I am go
ing to be glad when I've made Tom
Chandler squirm. And I'll do 1t! I'm
ging to send for Arthur tomorrow"
do you think"-the question was
put tentatively-"that you are quite
fair to Arthur"
"What do you mean?"
'Do you think it's quite fair to
him to use him to punish another
man? He has been your very good
friend, Milly.i And he cares a great
deal for you. You know that"
The look of anger on the young
face gave way to a smile Of graft
fed vanity.
81 know he does! II you could
see the way he looks at me, you'd
know it"
The recollection was already
soothing her lacerated vanity.
And do you love him, Milly?"
Mildred laughed. Her mood OF
bitterness was gone. Il guess per-
haps I'll decide to-" she evaded.
Anyway, I'm going to send for him
tomorrow. And now let's talk OF

and half-drunk girl is welcome to

circles today many bonds are
tolerated that once would have en-
tailed upon the parties an almost
general ostracism. I think the
change will be hastened by the war.
This does not mean that we shall
see a sudden access to the ranks Of
'live their own life," to use, q
phrase of the nineties; the world
Is still too harsh for that, but IL
does mean that the "superfiuous
woman" realizing her position,
may more firmly govern her fate. j
We have always had superfiuous
women. In 1911 the excess of wo-
man in England and Wales amount
ed to 1000, 900. It will be surpris-
ing IL casualties leave this figure
much below 100000. Many wo-
men before the war knew that their
chances of marriage were not great;
now they will know 1t much bet
ter, and indeed they will exagger-
ate Many must rush to an extreme
and conclude that their chances are
nil. What result will this have?
do not suppose that many wo-
men of streotyped morality will be
affected, but there always were
women who restrained their i'm
pulses because they expected to
marry. 1t is likely that under pres
ent conditions, under the artificial
stimulus of male shortage. a rather
enhanced number will defy conven-
tion.
