SONG OF THE REBELLION

Little do you good people know,
What US poor soldiers undergo;
When called upon to take up arms
To guard our country from all harm.
Sometimes we sleep on the cold
ground,
Where there is no shelter to be found.
Sometimes it rains, sometimes SHOWS,
When the lofty wind and tempest
blows.
At the break of day, the morning
gore;
At revillee, fife and drums
To break the soldiers sweet repose,
lie gets up and puts on his clothes.
The sergeant comes and goes about
Saying, Hurry up, and turn out"
In front and rear he forms his lines /;
His accoutrements and sword doth
sling.
500 TmzHzEr'
Right and left is the constant word
The Capt then presents his sword,
The Sergt. then takes out his roll,
The name is called and the absent
told.
Sometimes our officers, bad ones they
are,
Wore out their men for the want of
care;
And bring them to deepest end,
And bury them in distant land.
Where there are no relatives near,
To shed single parting tear,
Or nurse them on a dying bed,
Or bury them when they are dead.
Our doctor is a man Of skill,
And every day he gives a pill;
And if that pill doth not do well,
He wonders, why, but cannot tell.
AS for our grub, we got enough;
Although it is so very tough.
But as for that we won't complain,
We hope to get good beef again.
The man who composed this song
| will tell you-it won't take long;
Il was composed by A. p. White,
Walking his beat one rainy night.
Written for B. A. Waddle by his
friend, W. c. Harold, at Nashville,
Tenn, July goth, 1865.

more than glad that was transferred

rience since | left home, but wouldn't
give penny for the same over again

gets out in life.
You asked what we were doing
now. We take care of our horses and
have inspections, is our duty. Pref
ty soft, but it is the same old thing
every day.
AS to my home, have a good place

SINKING SPRING

Church services at this place were
largely attended Sunday, and all were
amply paid for their presence by
hearing very excellent sermon
There will be services again on the
second Sunday in April at 1000 A.
M, instead of the regular hour on
second Sundays. Rev Sewers has re-
signed his work as pastor of this
charge. This is a great surprise to
most of the members, and it is with
regret that we see him leave.
Our Sunday school elected new of

WHAT WILL WE DOT

The Daily Sun has been ndeavor-
ing for several months to prevail up
on the citizens of Greeneville and
Greene county to arrange for some
sort of a celebration or reception to
"our boys" who are now expected
home within the next few days.
We have noticed, with pride, the
manner in which our daily paper has
kept hammering after. this one most
important matter, and the surprise to
us has been that something has not
been done before now looking to CIV
ing these Greene county heroes some
kind of welcome home.
We don't believe there is a town
the size of Greeneville in the coun-
try anywhere, but what has made
some plan for giving these returning
soldier boys welcome home, and it
is going to be disgrace to this town
and county if it allows these young
men to come back, as many of them
have already done; be allowed to
suffer from exhorbitant prices de-
manded by local garages and auto
mobile operators, squeezed and priced
for more than they are able to pay
for everything they want. 1t is
fact that these conditions have ex-
listed for some time, and we have no.
ticed, with pride, that your little pa
per has had nerve enough to call at
tention to these conditions-still, the
surprise comes again that there has
been absolutely nothing done to rem
edy these evils,
Now, good people of Greeneville
and Greene county-these brave boys
Of ours were looked upon with admir-
alton and pride when they were
marched away to fight for you and
me. Now that many of them will
never return-many are returning
limbless, shell torn, shocked and dis
enabled to arm a livelihood the re.
mainder of their lives, is it right to
allow them to be treated in this man.
ner? All we ask is that our people
think it over We feel sure that
something will be done soon, and we
are going to watch closely for some
announcement in the columns of the
Daily Sun day by day. If we find
that there is nothing being S?ne, you
will hear from us again. This is not
from a veteran, but
A LOYAL CITIZEN.

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP

That the business crisis has passed and prosperity is COM
ing with a rush is evident from the news published yesterday
telling of the activities in the various industries in this vicinity.
Perhaps the most notable improvement in this direction is the
starting up of the terra Gotta factories and other clay indus
tries. This indicates an increase in the building line and must
necessarily mean more work for the thousands Of men en-
ployed in those trades.
prosperity due to the large number of munition plants located
in this section. The regular industries, also, with the excep-
ton of the clay plants, also were busily engagedi in making war
materials. And even the terra Gotta plants found a little to do
in makinng clay bombs for airfoane target practice
But with the signing of the armistice the bottom fell out
of all this and there was a decided slowing down in everything.
The munitioh plants are gone for good; the permanent indus
tries have been undergoing a period of depression during which
time many have kept as large a force at work as possible, but
without receiving any orders or shipping away any materials.
In other words, it has been a false basis and was maintained
in order to prevent labor being thrown out of employment en-
tirely during the critical times that followed the cessation of
hostlities
But now the work is starting up on a permanent basis.
1t looks good. The sooner we can get to producing things the
quicker will conditions become normal.
The one great problem now is the excessive price of food
and clothing. Here is something that must be tackled in
quick time. The people naturally look to congress for some
action. But with prosperity SO plainly apparent the future
has a most encouraging aspect. 1t is, indeed, time for every
body to put every ounce of energy into the balance and help
make good the awful loss the world-has sustained during the
past five years.

SELLING ARMY FOOD
NOD TNTE NTTRTn NENXAUC.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
That the sale of surplus army food
stuffs is meeting with encouraging
success is evidenced by the city of
Newark, where 10000 pounds Of
| army bacon Is being disposed of by
the city and sold to the many walt
ing to purchase 1t. This selling of
army bacon alone can a saving Of
at least so per cent. to the house.
wife.
The mayor of Newark, with the
consent of the City Council, pur-
chased this bacon from the govern
ment at twenty-seven cents per
pound and the city is selling It at
thirty-two cents. The prevailing
price for bacon in our stores is fifty
five to sixty cents per pound.
1t is a pity that some one In this
city does not start a movement of
this sort, thus cutting the high prices
one is compelled to pay. 1t seems
that all would be required is a. mo-
ton in council to purchase some of
this surplus army food. Which of
the gentlemen In council will be the
one to inaugurate the movement? 1t
would tend to make a name for the
one starting It.
Not only bacon could be bought:
also the beans to accompany it. And.
then, the ham-just think OF It'll 1t
could be had from the government
at thirty cents per pound to be re-
sold at about thirty-five cents.
Canned goods galore, such as can
ned tomatoes, corn, peas, string
beans, pork and beans, ETC., etc.
You say you would not know
where to store it? Newark is using
the ~frehouses; and, II there should
be no room in the fire quarters of
Perth Amboy, there Is no doubt but
that some stores could be rented rea-
sonably for the purpose.
And who is to conduct these sales?
| Let us again take a lesson from
| Newark. There some of the good
| women who have lone such splendid
| work for the Red Cross ave volun-
| teered to act in the capacity of gro
| Gerry clerks. The same could be
| found right here In Perth Amboy.
| Again, who will lead?
Sales are held in Newark from 10
a. m. till 10 noon and again from
8 to s p. m. Only foul hours o day,
| but what q world of good could be
| accomplished in those four hoursi
Sales, of course, should be in linz
| tied quantities, say five or ten pounds
| or a dozen cans of canned goods per
| person, and none should be sold to
| any storekeeper.
Think 1t over and let us have the
| results of this food-cut-price or
| army-to-family selling project. It's
worth while starting.
Who will be the n that will act?

Three reactions from prohibition
two favorable. one u~nfavorable, are
reported officially after one month OF
nationwide ~''dryness."
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
Is authority for the statement mat IN
the New England district 1t has beer
much easier to book seamen since the
dry law went into effect than before.
In fourteen cities of more than
100, 900 population the returns show
an extraordinary decline IN hospital
cases since June so.
On the other hand there is q notic-
able increase reported in the demand
for narcotics and stimulants thai
promise some satisfaction to persons
who have been habitual users of alco-
hol.
Economically the result of nrohibi-
ton in regard to sailors Is important

the sailor. whose habit 1t has been to
go on q spree after a voyage n not
ship again until he was penniless. has
been saved from this gross folly. Also
that the troublesome question Of get
ting sailors for American ships is SIM
pliied somewhat by this new develop
ment.
Another person might argue, and
usually does. that the thirsty sailor is
rushing to sea in a mad desire DO get
away from this arid and benighted
country and hop ashore in some Joy
