ed for its victim Jack McInnis. son
of Mrs. w. M. Williams.
God only spared this dear one to
live with US 81 years. 5 months and
a few DAYS.
JACK leaves to mourn his death a
step-fdther. mother. 3 brothers and
2 sisters aud host of relatives and
friends.
A loved one from us has gone,
A voice we love is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
Like flower Jack passed awav,
DESTROYED in all his bloom;
Waking IN bright CLINE,
He finds no death or gloom.
Again we hope to meet thee
When the days Of life have fled,
And IN Heaven with JOY to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Dearest loved one we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory sdal be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Heaven now retains our treasure,
Earth the lonely Casket keeps,
And the sunbeams long 10 linger,
Where our loving brother sleeps.
He was laid to rest on JAW. Is,

SPECTATORS TRY
TO GRAB LIBERTY
BONDS AT BARGAIN
People Urged Not to Sell Government
Securities at Sacrifice or Exchange
Them For Questionable Paper.


Atlanta are reaching the
Federal Reserve Bank Of Atlanta that
many owners Of Liberty Bonds are
selling them at prices lower than
their market value.
Investigations show that shrewd
spectators are active In trying to
induce people to part with their Gov
eminent securities. Many Of them
are offering to take Liberty Bonds In
exchange for some other so-called
security which promises higher
rate of interest than Liberty Bonds
1t is pointed out by Treasury Of
flcials that Liberty. Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One evf
dence of their value is the eagerness
of the speculator to get possession of
them. He knows what they are worth.
Their Liberty Bond owner does not
know the value OF the stock or
bond" he is offered In exchange for
his Government security.
Liberty Bonds have back Of them
the entire resources of the United
States which makes them worth their
face value. The person who exchang-
es them for some other kind of paper
risks losing the money invested In
his bond as well as the interest
Other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that the wars
over" and they are no longer oblig-
ated 10 hold them Although fighting
has ceased the war will not be over
until the peace treaty is signed and
our soldiers are home A Liberty Bond
10 certificate of service and the per
son who sells them at a sacrifice is
deserving the cause. He is rejecting
on his own Judgment and patriotism
and surrendering an investment that
never will fail to pay returns.
1t Is recognized that there are times
when investors are compelled to seek
relief from financial distress. Often
their first impulse Is to dispose of their
Liberty Bonds.
In such cases the bank is the place
to go. Banks will Lend money on Lib
erty Bonds The borrower is helped
out 81 his difficulty and does not lose
ccss,ssioo of his Government bond.

~. w. c. A. Saves Wife Of Genera!
From Becoming charwoman.
When the war work of the Y. w. G.
A. In Russia has all been told one of
the most interesting stories will lie In
the establishment of the first Women's
Cooperative Association at Moscow.
J There day after day princesses work
side by side with peasant girls, wives
of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple,
unlettered women, and the money is
used for self support of these prln-
cesses and notable women as well as
for the peasant classes.
The need and suffering throughout
all Russia was so great at the time
the Association was established that
1T was problem to find where the
money would help the greatest num-
Der of people. 1t was thought best to
expend 1t to help capitalize organiza-
tions for giving work and permanent
opportunities to families and individu-
ais to earn their own living.
The women bring their handiwork
to the Association for sale or take or
ders to do dressmaking, millinery, etc.
in the rooms of the society or at home
Suitable work was found just In time
not long ago to keep the wife of one Of
Russia's greatest generals from going
out as charwoman to earn bread for
her husband, who was i'll.

Reckless BOmbardment on the Fourth

Reckless Bombardment on the Fourth
That no one was killed or seriously
injured during the bombardment of
the Fourth of July, is more due to
good luck than to good management.
More than 100 sticks of giant pow
der were exploded, principally by ir-
responsible and unauthorized persons,
with little regard, apparently, for the
people or their property. People were
astonished that marshal of the day
should behave in such reckless fash
ion, but later it was learned that 1T
was the work of some boys who had
obtained the powder from out of town
and were taking advantage of the i'm
munty afforded to let off lot of
pent-up steam and enthusiasm. In
the morning several sticks of unex-
ploded dynamite were picked up on
the streets where they had been care
lessly dropped. Nervous women and
sick people were almost frightened to
death by the daring and persistent
bombardment of the town.
Many people are wondering where
the city marshal was from to 8 a
m. July Fourth.
