To The Voters of The County.

Dear Sir: AS you doubtless know
Mr. Armour Ratliff is candidate for
Trustee for Obion County, subject to
the action of Democratic Primary
Election to be held Saturday, August
2, 1919. Mr.. Ratliff has just left
home for the Government hospital
after a thirty days furlough which
was granted him in order that he
might spend the time with his aged
father who is very i'll. While at
home Mr. Ratliff, at the urgent soli-
citation of his friends, announced
himself as candidate for Trustee,
but owing to the severe wound in
his jaw gotten while on the firing
line in France, he had to return to
the hospital for further treatment.
Now as Mr.. Ratliff will no. be
back in time to make a close cam
paign, we wish to recommend him
to the voters of Obion County as an
honest, conscientious, capable and
deserving young man, and we hav-
ing known him ell his life, know that
he is amply qualified for the position
he seeks. He is physically handi-
capped for life from the wound re-
ceived while fighting for his country
and we feel that it is our patriotic
duty to ask for Mr.. Ratliff fair and
impartial consideration at your
hands.
AS we do not have the names and
addresses of all the voters in the
county, we ask that you show this
letter to your neighbors so they may
know that we solicit their support,
although we may not be able to do
so in person or by letter.
Most sincerely,

Miss Florence G. Bullard, an Ameri-
can Red Cross nurse who has just re-
turned from three years service with
the French overseas, will speak at the
Redpath Chautauqua regarding her
war experiences. Miss Bullard went
overseas in 1915 with the American
Ambulance at Neuilly, France. This
hospital was then one of the most COM
plete in France and treated especially
PLASTIC" cases, such as making new
faces for mutiles. Here Miss Billiard
served for over ten months, caring for
1000 wounded poilus every day. She
was transferred In February, 1918, to
VauXbain to care for the American
wounded and during the spring drive
was sent to scissors. 1.-TWO and one
eighth miles away in the woods" stat
ed Miss Bullard, 'the guns and aero
planes of the Huns pounded away at
the French trenches. The order came
to retreat with our 1,500 wounded on a
sanitary train as fast as we could.
With our equipment piled around us in
the mud and debris, we finally got our
wounded on board and fell back to the
rear, with the schrapnel breaking the
isinglass out. Of the windows of our
coaches" Miss Bullard was decorated
by General Lasnet of the French Army
with the Croix de Guerre and citation
for "bravery under fire in caring for
the wounded at scissors, Villairs-Cot-
teret and Chateau Thierry."
We are specially requested by the
local Red Cross Chapter to say that
Miss Bullard will be here June 21st
to speak at the Chautauqua tent.

Salvation ARMY Fund
Is Falling Behind Here


Unless New Workers loosen up more
during the next three days, said Major
Edward Underwood, OF the Salvation
Army, yesterday the Christmas basket
fund, one of the oldest of the army's
Institutions, will be a failure this
year. About $4,000 is required to
supply Christmas gifts of food and
toys for the poor but the week closed
yesterday with hardly half that in
hand. Major Underwood felt that the
situation called for an explanation.
A apprehension seems to have
arisen in the minds of the public in
regard to the Christmas fund and the
big S13,0oo.00o campaign which took
pace last spring. ne said. The Christ
mas dinner collection, which aims to
supply $500 dinners, y Christmas
trees and lnnumerable boxes of TOYS
and warm clothing was pUrposelv
Withheld from the budget of the home
service drive. The Christmas kettles
and bells have been used for so many
years, says the major, land so manv
small donations which some might hes
tate TO give to a S13.O00.000 campaign
were given to the Christmas collection
mat 1t was decided to continue the spe-
V'ai christmas appeal as usual"
