been in poor health for the past fifteen
years but her ailments became SER

following she went to Nashville for an
operation with the hope of being re-

Hudson realized the seriousness of her
condition and, being the splendid
Christian character that she was, she
patiently waited for the end. She

of Chestnut Mound; and three sisters,
Mrs. Bette Dawson of Nashville; Mrs.

years of age, she having been born

Mrs. Martha Grisham died Oct. 8,
1913. She was about SO years of age
and is survived by her husband and
seven children, three boys and four
girls. She also leaves large number
Of friends and relatives to mourn her
death. Mrs. Grisham lived a faith
full Christian life and always taught
her children to follow in her footsteps.
She was afflicted for eight months, but
during this time she was cheerful and
would sit in her chair and sing songs
of Zion. The remains ware laid to
rest in the Landy Robinson graveyard.
She was a kind and true wife and
mother and during her last hours she
entreated her children to meet her in
Heaven. She was indeed good wo-
man. In her death mother we loved
is gone and a place that can not be
filled is vacant in our home.

led CROSS roll. CALI.
EXTENDED TO IAN. 10.

Owing to the prevalence Of influenza
md other disturbing conditions in
his Red Cross division, the time for
enrolment in the Christmas roll call
extended from December, %, 1918,
% January 10, 1919. After January
10, the names of all those enrolling
n Smith county will be published in
he Courier by districts. Below, it
IAN be seen that some of the districts
1ave done real well in the work, and
t is hope that before the extended
time expires, the same may be said
of all the districts. On December %.
The 18th district was leading but,
since then, the 1st district has gone
ahead. We would like to see each of
.hese two good districts make it an
even 5000, and the other districts
raise their membership in proportion.
Following is the standing of those
districts which have so far reported:
First, $40; third, $118; seventh,
500; tenth, $54: thirteenth, 1872; four
teenth, $40; fifteenth, $181; sixteenth,
1854; nineteenth, $32; twenty-first,
S110; twenty-second, $50, and the
twenty-third, $40. Total, $1,O81.
We hear that other districts have
been working, namely, the fourth,
sixth, Iwelfth and eighteenth. DOUBT
less, the other districts have been at
work, although we have had no word
from them. Smith county has a pop
ulation of 1858. And may VIC not
reasonably expect Red Cross mem
bership of 1900. which is less than
10 per cent?. Let's get busy and
make it more than thar. The commit
tees arc urged to make their final re
ports on January Ii, sure.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Rohrbogah

A group Of we'll known Omaha peo-
pie witnessed the launching of a great
ship in the yards of the William
ette river near Portland, built to
carry $500 tons or $4,000 sacks of
-four.
In the party where Mr.. and Mrs.

ter, Mrs. Bonekemper, who were
guests of the shipbuilding company
through the courtesy of Mr.. Paul
Workman, formerly of Omaha, who
holds an important position with the
company.
Describes Launching.
Describing the launching, Mr..
Rohrbough said:
"Just about noon the din of ham
mers and road of machinery in the
yards ceased. Walter Brown, gen.
eral superintendent, shouted a
warning and said, She's going
1t was most thrilling sight to see
this monster ship take the water.
1t was longer than two city blocks,
higher than a l0-story building,
and wider than two city lots. Upon
either side of the great ship fell
away blocks of lumber as It set
tied deeper and deeper into the
water. The great crowd waved
flags and were noisy in their express
sions OF enthusiasm as the great
ship took the water. Hundreds of
men who had been engaged in build
ing the ship sat upon the deck as
the monster was launched.
Ship is Christened.
"Mrs. Ben w. Olcott, wife Of Gov
ernor Olcott, christened the ship,
breaking the bottle amid the deaf
ening cheers of the spectators, and
later receiving congratulations. The
lady was made the recipient Of a
platinum brooch set with diamonds.
The formal presentation was made
on behalf of the ship corporation
by Vice President c. w. Bowles.
"The great shipyards in which
this monster was built employs
4,30Q men and is proceeding with the
construction of other big ships
which will be launched in the early
iall. Many other shipyards are also
engaged in building ships for Uncle
Sam, constructing a feet which will
carry American products to the four
corners of the globe"

more seized some liquor in boot
Logging raid near here. For safe
keeping he stored it in the county
bastile. A cell was graced by its
presence. Adjoining were prisoners
whose dust-covered throats and
parched lips caused them untold
agony. But the dust and parched-
ness remained not long. One Of
them conceived brilliant idea. He
secured 4 mop handle. to which a
hooked wire was attached. With
this the enemies of society managed
to extract and empty an entire case
of pint bottles of whiskey. Bottles
they could not draw through the
bars were emptied by fitting up the
larger portion OF the bottle outside
the bars. When the discovery was
made by the sheriff, the prisoners
suspected of having taken the liquor
were locked up in cells by them
selves.

SMUGGLING OF ALIENS.

just at the time when Congress is
legislating to force the deportation Of
undesirable aliens, it is very important
that every effort be made to prevent
the smuggling of aliens into the Unit.
ed States by way of Canada; and the
officers who have the duty of policing
the border between Vermont and Can
ada have very important work to per
form. 1t is not at all improbable that
people of the most violent type will
endeayor to find entrance to the United
States by stealing across the border
into Vermont, as we'll as New Hamp-
shire and Maine, relying more or less
on the sparseuess of the population in
some OF those regions to aid them in
Guiding detection. This probability
viii be greatly increased after Congress
