WILL REDEEM THE $4,000

The one great difference between
the present time and last year is
shown by the fact that then we were
called upon to give both lives and
money for the support of our coun
try in the war, and now the call i:
for money only.
The people responded so promptly
and effectively in both particulars
that the war has been brought to a
close, and what we now are to do is
to lend certain amount of money
to meet the expenses, and this, it is
announced, will be the last of the
the war loans.
We ought to regard it as a thanks.
giving loan as well as a celebration of
Victory, for it is made when every pa
triotic citizen has reason to rejoice.
The great object of the war has been
achieved; the enemy of free institu-
tions has been defeated.
The great sacrifices we have made
have not been in vain, and the future
of our country is made secure. The
money is needed that the contracts
entered into in order to achieve this
result may be met. $3.50
We know the character of the A.
merican people; we feel safe in say
ing that they desire above all things
to maintain their credit, and that they
will lend their government all that is
asked for, so that the obligations in
CURED in their name may be dis
charged in full.
Tallulah has her credit to sustain.
The record shows that this town has
been leader in contributing to the
preceding loans, and she may conf
IDENTIFY be expected to keep the rec
ord intact. Our people will not be
found laggards when it is a question
OF redeeming what has been pledged
IN the blood of her gallant sons, and
OF the many thousands of gallant
sons Of the American republic.
Let's report Tallulah more than
100 per cent and build liberty FIRE
that will brighten the heavens.

, Someone asked US this week if the
stock law in Tallulah had been re-

not think that it had, as there had
not been anything published in the

been repealed, it ought to be Enforced

give everyone fair chance, because
If one person who keeps his stock up
all the time sees the stock of some
one else running at large, that person
thinks then that he ought to have the
same RICH to let his stock run at large.
