friend has gone, but when the
summons came he was ready
to go
He was buried near his home
in the presents of a large number
of friends and relatives. Dear
mother and children may Gods
blessings rest upon every one of
you and may you so live, that
when the summons come, you
will be prepared to meet the low
ing one, that has gone on before.
Behold the western evening
light!
1t melts in deepening gloom,
So calmly Christians sink away,
Descending to the tomb.
The winds breathe low, the with
ering leaf
Scarce whispers from the tree:
So gently flows the parting breath
When good men cease to be.
How beautiful in all the hills
The crimson light is shed.
Tis like the peace the Christian
gives
To mourners round his bed.
How mildly on the wondering
cloud
The sunset beam is cast,
"Tis like the memory left behind
When loved ones breathe their
lost.
And now above the dews of
night
The rising stars appears:
So faith springs in the heart of
those
Whose eyes are bathed in tears.
But soon the mornings happier
light,
It's glory shall restore,
And eyelids that are sealed in
death
Shall wake to close no more.

Greatest Prosperity In Hist
Ory of Country.

The Committee on Statitics
and Standards of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, in
submitting a report of its invest
igation of business througout the
country, states that belief is gen.
eral that the United States is app.
reaching a period of the greatest
prosperity in the history of the
Nation. The report adds that
there is little probability that the
wage of the many will drop as a
result of economic readjustments,
but that incomes which are out
of proportion to general conditions
re likely to suffer.

Dear Editor and Readers:
As l have just enjoyed q

it my duty, as a boy from Jack.
son county, to express to you my
sincere appreciation for the way
you are supporting the different
War Work Associations. There
isn't anything that could have
brought more pleasure to your
boys, than the news that jackson
county was the first in Tennessee
to go ''over the top" in the U.
W. W. c. You have proven that
you are willing to give anything
that may be asked of your for
the welfare and pleasure of those
who have offered their lives, if
need be, for the defence Of hui
manity.
The work of the different war
organizations is needed as much
now, if not more. than before
the armistice was signed, There
is nothing to look forward to now,
except the time when we shall
be able to return home. All the
camp gossip is about going home.
Every day somebody starts some
thing about when we will be
mustered out. Considering these
things, and many other difficult
les, you can readily see that it is
a great task for the War Work
ers to keep to boys from getting
blue and home sick.

American soldiers fought, and

country several months. He was
drafted from Oklahoma, where
ne has been living for several
years.
Chatillion-sur Seine France,
Dear Editor:
| nave been asked to write
something of interest to the
people there in regard to our boys
and their splendid work in
France. This, | should be ex-
tremely glad to do, but | am sor-
ry that | can give you very much
of interest about the front.
have never been there, even
though ! have tried through
many officers, Captains, Colonels,
Liutenants, to get that privilege.
| can write to you as represen-
tative of distinct class, those
who have been stationed behind
the lines, and have not been
privileged to go the firing line.
bu' whose sole ambition il has
been to 60.
Our boys have done splendid,
glorious, marvellous work, adding
new glory to our already grand
history. They have upheld the
tradition that our fathers have
spent their last, their utmost to
defend. They nave proven that
the American of today has de-
veloped according to the fund
araental principles of our constit-
ution. They have shown to the
world that free peoples are un-
conquerable, invincible; men of
less than six months training in
our army have been known to
completely route the best the
enemy had produced by half q
century of drill and strict discip-
line.
The American soldier is an in
cividual soldier, and our boys
have shown the very best nerve,
grit, self control, and disregard
for danger, possible. In some
cases they were so eager to get
into the thick of it that they ad-
vanced to fast and ran into their
own artillery barrage. There is
an incident told where a Captain
had a bunch of men that were
eager to fight and were being
reduced by their barrage. and
when the Colonel asked the Cap
tain why he did not keep his
men back, remarked, How can
|, when the whole German army
cant?',
We hope to be at home soon.
We will return to our homes
with a new vision of duty; we
we will be broader by our expe-
rience. Our travel will have
given US an insight into the
lives of our neighbors and
brothers across the sea. We
have proven that we will stand
for our rights, that we covet not
a single acre of any foreign land:
that our fight has been to uphold
a principle; That all men are
created equal, and that they are
endowed with certain inalienable
rights. life, liberty, and pursuit
of happiness. " and to tear down
an ancient. out-of-date assump-
ton that Might is Right" We
shall return soon and resume our
peaceful pursuits. feeling reliev-
ed of that impending menace 10
q peaceful civilization; we shall
feel secure again within Cur own
borders, ana shall have . right

stayed here till the close of the

patriotic soldier. On July the

He was faithful in duty, repre-

he had walked forty or fifty
miles to be at preslytery.
Brother Hestand's was a good
nan, a ture and loving husband

and encouragement received in
this home will be cherished in our
hearts and to inspire us onward,
and will make his name immortal
in our minds.
Brother Hestand spirit has
gone into the presence of God. his
body awaits in the silent tomb,
in the city of dead, to rest from
his labors. and to await the final

transformed in the image of God,

beautiful scripture, we love so

verse, where it says, for now
