Ninty miles of better roads
have been built comparatively in
Weakley county. Twenty.six
miles Of other road is being
planned and may be completed
this fall.
The road was built by farmers
during the otf-crop season. They
are well pleased with results.
Much Of the enthusiasm for the
building Of these. roads was
stimulated by County Agricul-
tural Agent r. L. Ellis, who has
been in that county seven years,
and who is reguarded by County
Judge R. E. Maiden, as the
best investment that the county
has.

Destroys Beer.

Early Saturday morning while
in hot pursuit of a man in the
hollows of Long Branch, for
whom he had a warrant, Sheriff
Spurlock ran into a suspicious
place in the woods, which had
somewhat of a familiar smell.
He Immediately came to a halt
and began a search, and in a
few minutes was busily engaged
in destroying several hundred
gallons or beer and mash. No
still pot was found. While de-
stroying the beer and mash the
man made good his escape.

To The Citizen tf Gainesboro.

We gave notice, and invited
all the citizens of the town to
attend a public meeting of the
town council on the 23rd of
September, to discuss the laws
we had in effect at that time, as
to whether or not they met with
the approval of all the people, or
a majority of the people, if not,
to repeal them, but in case they
did, to have them enforced to
the letter. On the date set only
a very few people came out, and
none seemed to care what laws
we had or didn't have, conse-
quently, we did as we promised
and proceeded 10 have them en-
forced.
On last Sunday, the first Sun
day since the time called for the
public meeting, the Marshall of
the town sat on the lid and en-
forced the Sunday closing law.
Since then we have had several
complaints that some people had
to do without their necessaries
of life lice, Cocacola. Sodawatel
etc." all of which we regret
very much, but will continue tt
enforce all the ordinances unit
we are satisfied that the people
do not want them enforced. ant
we will then repeal them.
On next Friday night. Oct. 8
at TOO O'Clock, we will hold
public meeting of the Council, +
which the citizens are invited +
attend and file their complaints
or in case there is some new or
dinance they wished passed, t
put same in proper shape and
will be duly considered.

Fate Of but two Men in Am
erican Forces in France
Unknown.

Washington, d. c. Private Gil
bert E. Brown of Boseman, Mon
tana, and William z. Taylor. of
Elijah, North Carolina, are the
only American soldiers, of the
more than 1000, 900 sent to
France, for whom the War De-
partment mas been unable to ac-
count. They are classed as
missing in action" Whether
they were killed in battle, or
died of disease in some obscure
place or in prison, or whether
they are still in Europe or other
foreign country, or have return
ed to the United States, the War
Department has been unable to
determine.
The War Departments success
in ascertaining the fate of every
one of the Expeditionary Force
in France is regarded as remark
able. In the Civil War. fought
in a relatively small section of
this country, the unknown
dead" were counted by the thous-
ands. Hardly a national ceme-
terry but has hundreds of graves
holding the remains of Federal
or Confederate soldiers, who re-
main unidentified.
Relatives of men who fell in
France have at least the consola-
| ton of knowing the way in
which these gallant Americans
died, and where they were bur-
led. Their bodies are resting in
cemeteries that are practically
American soil and that are to be
permanent and beautiful memo.

TENNESSEE CALLED UPON
TO SHOW HER INTER
EST in HER MANHOOD.

The Y. NJ. C. A. organization
of Tennessee is arranging for a
great Statewide Campaign 0cto-
ber 2O-30, to carry out a great
program for making better men
and for saving the boys.
President Wilson says that the
character of any community can
be measured by its interest in
the Y. M. c. A. Ex-President
Taft says that the country has
no institution that means more
to progress in all good things
than the Y. M. C. A. Gen. Per-
shing says that no agency con-
tributed more to the support of
the Army than the Y. M. C. A.
Tennessee is now arranging
for a permanent service to reach
the entire State. 1t will begin
with the boys and go on until it
serves all conditions of men. 1t
will enter every High School and
College. 1t will also enter every
factory, mint and railroad cen.
ter. 1t will strive to make coun-
try life more attractive and help
to keep the boys down on the
farm contented and satisfied,
even if they have seen gay
Paree.
One of the greatest features of
this Campaign will be the ad-
vanced work for boys. This
contemplates assistance in the
making of life work decisions
and in the working out of those
decisions when once made. To
aid in this great undertaking,
the State Committee has arrang-
ed to purchase and equip three
large camps, one in each section
of the State, for the boys. These
camps will be great rallying
places for the boys of the State
during the Summer, and will do
much toward solving the vaca-
ton problem,
This Campaign has the indorse-
ment and hearty support of the
leading men of the State such
as: Gov. Roberts, EX- Governors
Patterson, Hooper and
Rye, and the Judges of the high
est courts, business men like
Leslie M. Stratton, John E. Ed
gerton. John R. Pepper, |. B.
Tigrest, John |. Finney, Soldier
leaders like Gen. L, D. Tyson,
Col. w. J. Bacon, Col. Luke Lea,
Col. j. S. Berry, Col. Carey
Spence, Educators like Chancel-
lor Kirkland, Chancellor Payne,
Prof. R. l.. Jones, Prof. P. L.
Harmed, President A. A. Kincan-
non and practically all the preach
ers of all the churches. 1t is al
most unanimous.

Soon after dinner the people
assembled for a song service,
which was accompanied by organ

INDIAN CREEK SUNDAY
SCHOOL OBSERVE FIRST
ANNIVERSARY.

Sunday-school was fttingly OBJ
served Sunday, Sept. IA, with an
appropriate program rendered by
the pupils of the school.
V. E. Coapman, who has been
doing community work in that
section, and thru whose efforts
the Sunday-school has been made
the leading school of the county,
contributes the following report
of the day. This report was
written by Mr.. Coapman after
his return to Chicago, and was
received only in time to appear
in this issue Of the Sentinel.
The Children's Day on Indian
Creek Sunday, Sept. IA, was
a decided success. The day
dawned with all the glories of a
September morning. At an early
hour the creek road leading to
the old meeting house was a
scene of activity, increasing lat
er into an almost constant
stream of automobiles, carriages,
people on horse back and people
walking. Long before ten O'Clock
the house was overcrowded, and
many were gathered about the
doors and windows. The pro-
gram with it's variety of patriotic
and devotional selections was un-
usually attractive in every de-
tail. 1t was as follows:

The message will be an appea
to the boys and girls to continue
to practice and make perman
ent those same habits of industry
and economy, that through your
} influence and example Americs
may soon become a nation o1
savers and cease to be a wasteful
nation. "
The same message will be read
in every school room in America.
The seventy thousand teachers
who will deliver the message to
the children in the Sixth Federal
Reserve District. will supplement
the Secretary's letter with re-
quest that children bring their
savings to school regularly once
a week so that their pennies
nickles and dimes may be put in
Government Thrift and Saving
Stamps and returned to them. A
letter making this request of the
teachers has been sent out by
Silas w. Davis, Government
director of savings of this dis.
trict.
The Secretary's letter follows.
To the school boys and school
girls of America:
In addressing the twenty mill
lion or more school boys and
girls of this country, | am ad-
dressing the citizenship, the bus
mess and professional men and
women the producers and con-
sumers and the home makers of
only a few years hence. The re-
sponsibility of all the problems
of our country will ultimately
fall upon you. The spirit of
patriotism and helpfulness which
you displayed during the world
war has proved your fitness for
your future responsibility. Your
record in production of needed
materials during the var, your
saving of food and money. and
your investment in government
securities make record of
which every American citizen is
justly proud.
1t is the earnest desire of your
Government that you should con.
tinue to practice and make per-
manent those snme habits of in
dustry and economy, that thru
your influence and example A.
merica may soon become a nation
of savers and cease to be a
wasteful nation; that this may
be a nation of people who always
save some part of their earnings,
who spend money with greatest
care, and who invest what they
save in some safe place.
am glad to soc that our school
boys and girls have continued
during the vacation months to
save their money and are buying
Thrift and War Savings Stamps,
thus laying aside a portion of
the money they earn for some
futune purpose and while they
are continuing to render some
service to their Government they
are at the same time providing
for their own needs.
The habit of earning and saw.
ing money is most interesting
and happy one. | am sure that
this habit has become so facinat.
ing to you that you will continue
to earn and to save thru all the
months and years to come anC

private timberlands. The practive Of
forestry on private timberlands is en-
tireiy possible, when coupled with a
liberal policy OF public cooperation
ana assistance. Such public help
should be provided and forestry be
made mandatory.
our country is progressively de-
stroying its forests The conse-
duences are very far-reaching. The
exhaustion of the forest is followed by
the closing OF industries, the steady
increase of waste lands, the aban-
Comment of farms that depended for
their market on the lumber COM
munities, and the impoverishment OF
many regions.
No section OF the country can af-
ford to have large part of its land
an unproductfve waste, with the loss
OF taxable values, OF industries, and
or population that would be supported
II these lands were productive No
section can AFFORD to be dependent for
It's supplies of wood products on an
other section from one TO three thou
sand miles away.
The leaders of the southern pine in
dustry say that the original supplies
OF pine in the South will be ex-
hausted in ten years. and that within
hFe to seven years more than 5000

means that the price of home grown

the forest problem is such as TO re-
quire the participation and direction
OF the public We are not going II
meet the situation until the public
takes hold of it.
There should be compulsory fire
protection of cut-over lands as well as
standing timber. The public should
prohibit destructive methods of cut
ting that in jure the community end

AT the same time there should be
recognized a public obligation not to
throw the entire burden on private

measures but liberal action to sid
