House and Contents Destroy.
ed by Fire.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Bob
Taylor Gailbreath. of near
Flynn's Lick, was destroyed by
fire early Thursday morning,
June Is, with most of its con-
tents. A part of the dinning
table and a couple of chairs,
were the only things saved.
The house was an old two story
frame building, but considerable
work had recently been done on
it and additional rooms built to
it and was nicely furnished.
The fire originated on the roof,
supposedly from the kitchen
fiue. Mr.. Gailbreath discovered
the blaze when he went out to
the barn to feed the pigs, and
gave the alarm. The blaze at
that time was already in big
headway, and by the time
assistance came the top of the
house was a mass of flames.
The loss is estimatee to be
around $l500OO. Mr.. Gailbreath
and family will reside in the
home with his mother, until he
can rebuild.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE
FUNDAMENTAL PRIN-
CIPLE.

Recognition of the fourth Com
mandment as the law of the all
wise and benficent Creator of
the universe, and observance of
the Sabbath as a day of rest and
worship, are as fundamental to
civilization as is the acceptance
and observance of any other Of
the ten Commandments. No
nation, state. city or community
may float or disobey either of
these ten rules of life without
lowering the morale Of its people
and distinctly reducing their
physical well-being as a whole
There can be no doubt that the
nation which most closely OBJ
serves the laws of God and lives
most nearly in accord with His
will must ultimately realize
most of happiness and prosper
ity.
1t is not to be supposed that
God, who has given unto His
creatures all the rich and varied
blessings of earth so freely to
enjov, would impose upon them
arbitrary and unjust restrictions.
Surely we can not think of our
Father as infiicting unnecessary
limitations upon His children fol
no reason whatever but to de-
prive them of pleasures. The
Bible tells us that in ancient
days no obligation was more
rigidly enforced than proper
observance of the Sabbath fol
rest and worship. Punishment

Killed By Lighting.

Bryant Harris. of the fifth dis
trict Of this county, was killed
by lightning Tuesday. June Is.
during an electrical storm which
visited that section. His body
was found a few days latter by
his brother, and was badly de-
composed.
Harris was the employe Of
Benton Pruett, a farmer of that
section, and was at work in the
field some distance from the
house when the storm came up.
His body was found near a tree
in the field, and the suppositien
is that he had gone to the tree
for shelter from the storm His
hat was split opeE and one of
shoes was torn from his foot.
Interment was in the Wade
cemetery. On account of the
condition of the body no funeral
service was held.
Harris is reported as being Q
good worker, but had a habit of
quitting a job without notice to
his employer, and when he fail.
ed to show up Tuesday night,
Mr.. Pruett had an idea that
Harris had quit his job. and no
immediate search was made for
him.
The deceased is survived by
two brothers and three sisters,
all of whom live in that section.

regarding the life, death and
Service each of her immortal
sons who paid the supreme
sacrifice in the World War.
However faithfully we may
seek to perform this task we
can succeed without the full
cooperation of the family,
friends and comrades of these
beloved heroes. | am sending,
therefore, an appeal to every
reader of this paper to send me
all the information you can
gather regarding every soldier
enlisting from Tennessee who
gave his life for his country
during this war.
We have prepared permanent
record files in which will be
placed these individual histories
and preserved in the Memorial
Hall which is now being erected
by the State. To the main
record of enlistment, service and
death should be attached infor-
nation of his birth, schooling.
church and other relations, all
newspaper and other notices of
his death. funeral or camp life.
We want letters written from
camp or over there, and, to
complete the memorial, a photo
graph of the deceased.
If one could only read the
appeals that daily come to this
Office from relativns of soldiers
Of other wars. they would not
hesitate to use every effort to
assist US in our ambition to make
these records one hundred per-
cent perfect.
For two years, with the
assistance of Mother. Chairmen
in the counties of the State, we
have been collecting this delta
despite many obstacles, chief
among which might be named
reticence of comrades in volun-
teering information and the re-
moval of nearest kin to other
counties and States.
Gold Star Mothers, we appeal
to you to send us your sons
name and any photo or letter
or relic to file with it.
As an illustration of necessity
of full cooperation, would call
attention to the only records
now available e the official records
of the War Department. With
an unskilled clerical force, the
best then obtainable. it is natur-
al that errors should occur; but
when it is noted that over
thirty percent of all our war
record cards contain errors of a
greater or less degree, it can
readily be seen to what extent
we must have the assistance of
family and friends for us to do
full credit to these fallen heroes.
We are engaged in correcting
these errors and will therefore
be grateful to each and every
one who will send us information
of any soldier entitled to this
G0ld-Star record or the address
Of any relative.
