to New York women's Catholic or.

Lady Newborough was clad in the

Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw said: "It's
not the styles half so much as the

ing their dress these days. Most af
them go unlaced, their shoes are more
sensible, and their clothing allows
more freedom, but I think poor

until their old ones are absolutely

women in this city manages to look

Editor the News:
l notice that you are always harp
ing on TINT John Champ scrap and
that you are trying to lower my
friend Pet Shrader in the estimation
of the people in your moonshinc dis
trict Now, sir, Pet Shrader was in
Oklahoma ut that time. | am sure if
Pot had been there, there would not
have been Champ left to tell the
tale. AS to Judge Coulling and my
self, the Judge could not hold his
horse, and the Champs shot my horse
and the snow was SO deep couldn't
run. While seemed to be kinder
paralyzed, you needn't try to make
fun of that, for l know wasn't
scared and can prove it by Judge Coul-
ling. We had long talk over that
shooting when we got together again.
The Judges head looked like little
ball of fire as he went down Coal
Creek. l don't really believe the
Judge was scared-just simply could
MT hold his horse.

have returned TO New York, to aid
in the salvation army home service
campaign for :613,000000, May 1926,

to the Salvation army girls just be-
fore they sailed for home. The letter
follows:
"There is not one French soldier
who does not remember with grateful
emotion what the American women
have done to soften his suffering and
to lesson his hardships. Along the
whole front. as we'll rs in the stations
in the back areas as in the lombard
ed sections, he knew he had only to
knock ut the doors of the American
cantincs to be sure to be always and
ut AL hours received rs friend by
people with smiling faces.
"To all American women, TO those
who came to the front as we'll as to
those who, unable to go abroad, de-
voted themselves to the cause of our
devastated villages, comes the re-
spectful gratitude of the French peo-
pie" j. JOFFRE.

DR.. J. M. Grove, the Methodist
pastor here, who recently delivered
the annual sermon to the Odd Fel-

ing letter this week:
Pulaski, May S, 1919.
Dear Brother Grove: Our Lodge
has delegated me to perform the very
pleasant duty of writing to thank you
for the magnificent address with
which you favored us at our Centen-
ial exercises.
The enclosed check is but slight
token of our appreciation. Were we
to make it for an amount commen-
surate with our admiration and es-
TEEN, it would bankrupt Rockefel-
Ter.
Hoping that you may be spared for
many years of fruitful ministry, and
extending to you, on behalf of our
Lodge, all good wishes for yourself
and family, am,
Sincerely yours in f. l.. and t.,
