rights and privileges, to take away the
liberties of Others, who by their own
birthright are entitled to share equally
in the joy, prosperity and liberties our
country affords Take for instance the
sot who will pDllute his brain with al.
cohol and steal the liberty of the good
wife and baby at home, and then JUS
tify such a criminal act by saying that
Its free country" If a free coun-
try it is, then he is guilty of robbery
and should be dealt with according to
the penalty in such cases. Another
type of humanity that exercises all his
strength and ability to retard progress
and lock freedom in the dungeon Of
eternal darkness is the fellow who will
make and sell a liquid that will derahge
mans mind and render him unreli
able and unworthy Of the respect Of
his own family, and excuses himself
by saying that ''Its free country"
There are numerous others who feel
that their capacity for freedom is
greater than that of anyone else, and
that they should enjoy many privil.
eyes not accorded the average Ameri.
can citizen. Maybe they drive their
automobile at the rate of 70 miles per
hour, and never realize that they are
taking away the rights of the liberty
loving citizen that pays as much OF
more taxes for the upkeep of the
roads than they do. Or perhaps they
obstruct the highways, fish and hunt
out of season, fail to comply with the
sanitary laws, vote against every prop
osition of leVying tax for some pub
lie improvement, and hundreds of 9th
er ways that they can deprive some
one of their freedom, and then so con.
strue the meaning of Free America"
as to justify their action.
If We ever uttered a prayer it was
for the ability to rightly construe the
term, ITS free country" and to &C.
cord everyone their constitutional
rights whether they be friend or foe.
And we feel that the criminal that
will violate the laws of the land and
of civilization and acquit himself at
his own court of justice, in which he
sits as judge supreme, with the edict
that IT'S a free country" is nothing
short of traitor to the principles up
on which America was founded. and
sorely needs some schooling in Amer
lean ideals.

Governor Lee NJ. Russell Of Mississ-
ippi, will submit to an investigation
as an outcome Of charges made by his
former stenOgrapher, Miss Frances
Birkhead, who charges him with griev-
ous conduct against her. We commend
the executive body of Mississippi for
making this investigation, and trust
they will obtain the facts and place
Justice where justice belongs. Men
who are above such acts as Russell is
charged with only are fit for the high
Office he holds, and If he is not guilty
he should be exonerated, and if on the
other hand he is guilty he should pay
te penalty.

Miss Mary Minis and Mrs. W. B
Albums were weekend guests Of their
mother, Mrs. Sam Minis Of Minden.
Supt. E. H. Fisher was a business
visitor to our town Monday.
Miss Mary Lee Thomas and Mes
danes NJ. F. and c. II. Cook spent
Monday in Shreveport shopping.
Miss Elsie Buckner was at home
for the weekend.
The Grim Reaper has passed through
our community with a relentless force
since Friday. On Saturday morning
Mr.. Ike Hudnall of Springhill neigh.
borhood, was found dead in his chair
Mr.. Hudnall was a good citizen and
a successful farmer. He reared O
large family, most of whom survive
him. On Sunday night death came
as a release for the suffering body of
Mr.. Sim Fair, ST., who for years was
a cripple from some spinal affection
and for nearly six months has bee,
confined to his bed enduring all the
pain one poor form could stand Mr.
Fair was we'll known for several years
as mail carrier on the star route ho
tween jamestown and Ringgold. His
friendly disposition won for him
friends among all lie met. He Was a
member Of the NJ. E. Church and a do.
'out christian, and during his lone
illness often asked for the singing of
Ms favorite gospel hymns. Mr.. Fair
IS survived by his six sons, Messrs
Jlm' Lexie, Buck, Ayles and Sim Of
and Will Of Dubberly, and
number Of grandchildren. Another
good soul called from this earthly life
was that Of Mrs. John Sanders Of Cen.
ter neighborhood on Sunday. For two
years she has suffered from a cancer
on the tongue. Specialists from differ.
ent places were consulted, none of
whom were able to effect a cure, She
bore her sufferings bravely until her
release came. She leaves to mourn
her loss, her husband and five SONS,
Messrs' Will, Jessie, Clarence, Marvin
md Floyd Sanders. If We could, we
would keep our loved ones with us al
ways, yet we believe that God in His
mercy, has taken these to land where
pain and suffering are not known.
