GENERAL PERsHfNG's MISSION

General Pershing's mission to
France and Great Britain should do
much to strengthen the friendship
between the United States and those
two countries. The purpose of his
trip is to bestow posthumously on an
unknown French soldier and on an un-
known. British soldier, the congress
sional medal of honor. 1t will be a
tribute 10 all of the unknown soldier
dead of France and Great Britain, the
men who not only lost their lives, but
their identity, also, in the cause Of
freedom. Most of these We're blown
to pieces or otherwise mangled be-
yond recognition. They cannot be
honored Individually, but only through
the synf5olical decoration of one Of
their class.
The French and British already
have accorded signal honors to the
The Monett times., 1921-09-23

unknown dead and it is fitting that
America should do likewise. Such a
tribute from the United States is not
only due the men, but is advisable
because it will make very favorable
impression upon the French and
British people. For, by honoring the
the brave men of France and Great
Britain, our country will be honoring
France and Great Britain, themselves.

Report of Grand Jury

State of Mississippi,
Chitkasaw County.
To Judge W. A. Roane, Judge
of Circuit Court:
We the Grand Jury for the
Second District Of Chickasaw
County, Mississippi, beg leave to
make this our final report. and
respectfully ask that we be fin
ally discharged.
We have examined Sc witness
es during the week, and have
returned II bills of indictment.
We are convinced from the in
formation that has come to the
Grand Jury that there is con-
siderable amount of intoxicating
liquor being manufactured and
sold in the Second District Of
the County, but we believe that
the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquor is on the de-
cline in this district; and we be-
Iieve that if the good citizens Of
this district will continue to be
viigent in the matter that this
great evil will soon disappear.
We recommend that the officers
and citizens of. the county con-
tinue to use every effort to
stamp out this great evil.
We have examined the public
records kept in this district, and
50 far as we have been able to
ascertain the records are neatly
and correctly kept. We, how
ever, find that the county de-
rository is not complying with
the law in issuing receipts for
money paid into the depository,
we recommend chat the de-
positories be required to i'm
mediately correct this error and
issue receipts for monies paid

In the early days of its history the
earth grew rapidly by the addition
Of meteoric matter. 1t is still growing
in the same manner, though scarcely
to an appreciable extent, for the mass
Of meteOric matter added yearly is
reckoned to be only 10000 tons. III
