Report of American Legion
Meeting.

Regular meeting of the American
Legion Post was held last night in
the club rooms. The meeting was at
tended by quite few of the ex-ser-
vice men of the county. At the meet
ing it was decided to have banquet
for the ex-service men of the county
at the Dixie Highway Hotel on the
21st day of January, 1921 at p.
m. This banquet will be given exclu-
sively for the ex-service men and
each man is given the, privilege of
bringing one or more ladies as he
deems necessary. All ex-service men
desiring to attend will give their
names to Mr.. Harold Norris, the sec
retary of. the Post and also whether
or not they are going to bring lady
in order that Mr.. Norris may know
how n.any to orange for. 1t is not
compai-ory 70 bring one of the fair
er sex but the general idea amongst
most of the boys is that unless the
ladies are present the banquet would
not be worth much. So, fellows make
YOUR dates and see Mr. Norris in re-
gard to the banquet as soon as you
can conveniently do so. The wives of
ex-service men are requested to and
urged to be present-make your hus-
bands bring you. All ex-service men
are urged to attend whether you
have Joined the Post or not.
I would like to call the attention
of the ex-service men of the county
to the fact that the Post has at last
received its charter. Before this we
have had only a temporary one. The
charter of course, viii be framed and
placed in the American Legion club
rooms.
The secretary received the 1921
Post dues last night from a number
of the members but quite few have
neglected their dues so be ready to
pay your Post dues whenever the
secretary, Mr.. Norris sees you, for
we ought to try to keep the Post in
good standing with the State and Ma
tional organization.
More definite information will be
announced next week concerning the
banquet.

Death of Mrs. salIie D. Jones.

The death of Mrs. Sallie D. Jones
at her home in the Antioch section
Tuesday evening iat seven o'clock
marked the transporting of sanity
person from the earthly to the heav-
enly home. Her death, so sudden and
unexpected, was great shock to the
family and friends of Mrs. Jones'
She had spent the day with her,
daughter, Mrs. Lester Talbert, ap-
parently as well and strong as usual,
but soon after her return she COM
planned of not feeling well and went
to bed. Within a short time she pass
ed away, her soul being waited by
angels to the God whence it came.
Heart failure is believed to have been
the immediate cause of her death.
Mrs. Jones was a consecrated
Christian woman who impressed all
with whom she came in contact with
her deep and unwavering piety. She
was a member of Antioch church,
from which. the funeral was conduct
ed Wednesday afternoon by her pas
tor, Rev. w. R. Barnes. This good
woman will be missed in ahe home,
in the community and in her church.
She grew..sweeter and sweeter and
more lovable as the years grew upon
her, causing her influence to be more
helpful and more widely felt in the
community.
Mrs. Jones is survived by four
daughters, Mrs. Mamie Talbert, Mrs.
Lester. Talbert, Mrs. Maggie Miller
and Mrs. Prescott Lyon, and one son,
Mr.. C. C. Jones. A Christian life has
been crowned with full fruition, be-
ing. a. sweet benediction to all who
came. within its sphere of influence

To the Children, Relatives and
Friends of Mrs. Sallie D. Jones.

I was shocked beyond measure,
and INV heart saddened by the news
of the death of this noble Christian
woman, who was a life long friend
and neighbor to my mother and her
family. Her Christian spirit was an
inspiration to all who knew her and
her only son, Mr.. C. c. Jones, that
splendid Christian gentleman and her
four girls, all the highest type OF
-womanhood testify to her noble char
acter as mother.
To her children wish to extend
all the truest heartfelt sympathy my
weak self is capable of.
AS I write my eyes are dimmed by
tears as my heart goes out to you,
/ realize too, how little words of mine
may tend to comfort you. So l re-
commend to you the promise of our
Saviour in which your mother de-
,voutly believed. And then too, may
the thought of how good you have
been to her in her declining years,
ministering to her every comfort,
and by your exemplary lives shown
YOU were worthy of her teaching in
a measure comfort you.
"And the time must come when
Mothers hands are folded,
To us the dearest, fairest hands
The master Sculptor moulded.
The angels kissed the loving eyes,
And closed the white-frlnged
keeper,
The pulseless breast is now at rest,
z God keeps the silent sleeper.
Bullets not think of her as dead
Just waiting over yonder-
In that fair land with the angel band,
That sunshine land of wonder.
We will see her smile again some day
His, promise still rings true;
I'll go>and stay little while,
Then I'll come back to you"
With loving tenderness,
w. s. G. HEATH.

The first w. C. T. u. meeting OF
the year was held on Monday after.
noon with Mrs. w. c. Tompkins. The
inclement weather and mud kept
some of the members away, but with
al the parlor was full and overflow
ing and the happiness and hospitality
within shut out all thought of the
gloom without. The 1921 Year books
were distributed and New Year
card on which appeared sincere
greeting from the president to each
member, was given as a souvenir.
The subject was Americanization,
Mrs. w. B. Cogburn reading leaflet
giving the Importance of helping all
foreigners who came to US, or learn
ing the English language. Another
article on the great value of our
immigrant population was read,
showing how wonderfully they aid in
the industrial world. Mrs. R. E. Nor
gan was appointed as committee
to confer with any of our foreign
neighbors in Edgefeld and offer as
sistance in selecting suitable books
for further study of the language
as is suggested by our national or
ganization which now has fifteen
Americanization centres. in as many
large cities. Is
The matters of entertaining the
Teachers Association was introduc-
ed, and it was unanimously decided
to do this, and committees were ap-
pointed.
Some encouraging news was read
showing the benefit of the national
prohibition law, and the announce
ment made that much of the dis
couraging news read and reported
is but propaganda of the liquor peo-
pie to discredit the value of nation
al prohibition. AS a matter of fact
there have been wonderful decreases
in pauperism, crime, drunkenness,
and all the other results, of license
in our country since the law went in
to effect a year ago, as can be readily
proven.
A contest was used in place of the
citizenship lesson, in which all the
states which ratified the suffrage
amendment were used which was a
contest and afforded
much amusement.
/, The best answers were given by
Mrs. Thomas Barker, who Was our
newest member, and was presented
with bungalow apron. Another
apron was given the one who guess
ed what the prize was before being
opened, and this was won by Mrs.
w. C. Tompkins.
A letter of appreciation was read
from Mrs. Morgan for funeral de-
sign sent on the occasion of her
mothers death.
At Che close, coffee with whipped
cream and variety of Christmas
cake was served by Mrs. Tompkins
and Mrs. Susan Hill.
The next meeting will be held with
Mrs. R. G. Lee February Z.

Death of MRS. Ola Thurnnond
Glover.

Death Of MRS. Ola Thurnond
Glover.
On last Wednesday morning the
Sweetwater community was greatly
shocked when the sad and very sud-
den death of Mrs. Ola Glover, the
wife of Mr.. R. Wiley Glover, was
made know to the community in gen.
eral. She was in seemingly good
health and prepared very bountiful
dinner the day before and entertain
ed some of her friends at dinner.
She seemed to be unusually happy
that night before retiring and chat
ted quite while with her beloved
husband before they retired. Shortly
after midnight, without scarcely a
moments warning she breathed her
last. The Lord called her home when
we least expected it, but she was
ready.
A nobler character, more virtu-
rous woman never lived. Her husband
loved her and looked up to her; her
children obeyed her and honored her.
She united with the church in her
young days and was true faithful
member of Hardy's church. She was
an active member of the Woman's
Missionary society, eyer ready and
willing to do her best for her Master.
Her death is the first death in our So
ciety and we all do mourn her loss
sadly.
She was devoted wife to her kind
husband and better, nobler mother
never lived. She never neglected her
loved ones and always carried a sweet
happy face.
We thank our Father for. sparing
this sweet, noble Christian woman to
us these forty-odd years of her life,
and we thank Him for her cheerful
ness, her usefulness in the church
and for her influence in her home.
She chose the better things of life
and therefore trained her children in
the way they should go.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. P. B. Lanham that after
noon at Republican church. She was
laid to rest in the Republican ceme-
terry by the grave of her two depart
ed babes. The many lovely floral Of
ferings were tokens of the high es-
TEEN in which she was held. Friends
came from Augusta and Edgefeld
to pay their last respects to this no
BILE departed character and to the
heart-broken husband and the little
children She is survived by her hus-
bard and seven children, the eldest,
only fifteen years of age and the
youngest just one month old; and one
sister, Mrs. John w. Roper, and one
brother, Mr.. Joe. A. Thurmond.
To the bereaved husband and the
little children we offer our truest and
deepest sympathy in this sad hour of
trial and commend them to our
Heavenly Father who doeth all things
we'll.
"And SO dear friend, farewell,
To thee we trust happier life is
given;
One tie to earth for us hath loosed
its spell,
Another formed for heaven" ."

Year-One Vote Aagainst
Change,

At the regular meeting Of the Board
Of Council, Of Paris, KY, an ordinance
was introduced by Councilman Gates
by Spears making the Office Of police
Judge appointive. Several months ago
the council, after half dozen citizens
lad announced their candidacy for the
office Of chief Of police, adopted an
ordinance making that Office appoint
i've. Following the reading Of the new
ordinance by Mr.. Spears, Councilman
James Moreland haid he thought the
council was going little top far n
taking the right to select their ofli-
Gals from the people" Hugh Brent
said the reason for the action that the
present incumbent Of the Office had
been drawing a salary Of 5000 per year
and had turned in not over 2u0 per
year in fines. Mr.. MorelenG stated that
this condition was solely the fault of
the council, which had tolerated such
o condition from month to month with
out protest until JUST '.w weeks be-
fore the primary elsction
When the proposed ordinance was
put to vote Mr.. Morehland alone
voted against it. The new ordinance
provides for the ape ntmert Of the
Judge Of the police court Of Paris by
The council and fixes his or her salary
al the sum Of SIG p,' month or $tcO

ADMIRAL SIMS IS
REPRIMANDED BY
SECRETARY DENLY
Admiral Is Given a Public "Bawllng
Out" By DENLY for Famous
3Jackass Speech"

Washington, June rs. - E. L. DENLY,
Secretary Of the Navy, Friday admin
istered public reprimand to Rear
Admiral William s. Sims for state
ments In the Admiral's recent speech
in London reflecting on the activities
of Sim Feln sympathizers in America.
The reprimand was made on request
of the houses of Congress, Leglsla-
lures and other public bodies, which
have adopted resolutions of sympathy
with the Irish republican cause.
The rebuke was conveyed to Ad-
miral Sims at his hotel in letter
from Mr.. DENLY disappearing two
paragraphs Of the correct tect Of the
speech furnished by the Admiral -
one paragraph branding the Sim Fein
element in America as the enemy of
both Britain and America and attrib-
uting Irish republican resolutions to
the influence Of "jackass votes" and
the other paragraph predicting that
the English-speaking peoples will yet
be united in comradeship which will
enable them to run this round globe
The secretary pronounced the Of
fense Of Admiral Sims aggravated by
his disregard of the warning involved
in his reprimand in 1911 by President
William Howard Taft for speech in
London in which he said that If their
empire was ever seriously menaced by
an European coalition the British
could count on every man, every dol
lar, every drop of blood of your kin
dred across the sea-"
"The department deplores the fact
that 1t Is necessary to rebuke rag
officer in public, but you have made
the action unavoidable" the DENLY
letter of reprimand declared, and con-
tinued:
"The department expresses Its
strong and unqualified disapproval of
your conduct in having again deliv-
cred highly improper speech in a
foreign country and you are hereby
public reprlmanded."
