CATCHING THE OUTSIDE EAR.

An out-ot-town friend Of Americus, who has
been watching the agitation for the establishment
of packing house here, writes to The Times
Recorder as follows:
4 certainly hope something materalizes from
the agitation to establish packing plant in
Americus. 1t can certainly do more to put the
town on the map than anything else suggested.
Moultrie is becoming real live place since the
installation of one at that point. 1t may be that
| can consider investing some money in such a
plant if the leading men of the town go into it,
for | am anxious to see Americus and Sumter
county go ahead"
The packing plant proposal will be one of
the chief topics for discussion at the Sumter
county smoker-open to every in the county
which will be given at the Carnegie Library
Thursday evening from $50 to o'clock, under
the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce.
Remember, men, you don't have to be mem
Der of the Chamber of Commerce to be an invited
guest. This is to be everymans meeting-a get
together community meeting of all citizens interest
ed in Sumter countys future.
If YOU are a citizen of Sumter county you

UNCLE SAM AS ISHMAEL.

The Atlanta Constitution says with truth that
the United States is about to be the IshmaeI of ma
tions. 1t says editorially:
Great Britain has completed ratification OF
the peace treaty and League of Nations covenant.
France has done the same thing
So has Italy.
One after another other nations directly con-
cened will ratify the treaty but regardless of the
others the three great allied European powers have
signed sealed and delivered the compact which
means that the peace treaty and the League of
Nations so promulgated at Versailles is an accom-
plished fact, for the document becomes effective
upon its ratification by three of the big four al
lied parties to the peace conference.
The United States of America should have
been of the first three to sign but thus far petty
political and personal spite has kept us out of it.
This country is in the attitude of saying to its
f0xmer allies that what was good enough to fight
for-to sacrifice thousands of valuable lives and
billions of treasure for-is good enough nor of

IN M & M ORIAM.

CAMPBELL.-In loving remembrance of our
dear laughter, and sister, E. Pearl Stall
ford, wife of Charles A. Campbell, Jr.,
who departed this life November 4, 1918.
Although she is absent from us,
And one long weary year has fled
Since we stood by her side in sorrow,
And knew our dear Pearl vas dead.
We love her today, yes, we love her,
Just as well as we did years ago.
We miss her, oh. how sadly we miss her,
And our hearts are still aching so.
But one thought comes to us in our sadness
She is free from all suffering and pain,
And we know when our journey is ended
We shall meet our dear one again.
She did her best by everyone,
And everywhere true friendship won,
But God, in his wisdom kind and just,
Called our dear Pearl away from us.
In our choir, oh, how we miss her.
How it fills our hearts with pain,
But her silent voice is sweetly saying
Courage, dear ones, We shall meet again.
The blow was hard, the shock severe.
To part with one we loved so dear.
God lover her, too. and thought it best,
So took her to His Heavenly rest.
Rest on, dear Pearl, your work is DER;
Your willing hands need toll no more.
And while you lie in peaceful sleep,
Your sacred memory we will always keep.
Sadly missed by
FATHER, MOTHER, SISTERS
M BROTHER.
SANDERS.-In sad and loving memory of
my dear wife, Ethel Middleton Sanders.

A treasure we loved -
Has gone from us,
Hidden tears so often fall,

Can tell how much we miss her.
Her Husband, WALTER SANDERS.
CATTANI.-In sad but loving memory of
our beloved son and brother, Corporal
Joseph L. Cattani, died in action Nov. LIST.
1918.
One precious to our hearts is gone.
A voice we loved is stilled,
The place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filled.
He left his home in perfect health,
He looked so young and brave,
We little thought how soon he'd be
Laid in a soldiers grave.
Sadly, so sadly missed by Mother, Father.

Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy con- dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous. irrita- ble and may be despondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys. proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, flyer and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,. Binghamton. N Y. you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.
