The A. r. P. Church at Prosperity
Suffers Loss by Fire.
The following from Fayetteville
(Tenn.) Observer will be read with
interest by the friends and relatives
in this county of Rev. M. T. Ellis:
"Last Friday night at Prosperity
the manse was burned. 1t was a large
residence and was uninsur-
ed. 1t can not be replaced for $500
"The pastor, Rev. M. T. Ellis, and
family we're at service and had gone
to the church bare-headed. Every
thing the family possessed was burn
ed. Among the things lost was Mr..
Ellis splendid library which had
been accumulated and selected thru
a number of years and of course he
had quite a number of valuable VOL
umes which it will be difficult to re-
place. The belongings of the family
was a total loss as there was not a
dollar of insurance on it.

ton only when the race narrowed

tain ely,
The fourth annual convention
terminated after what was said to
be one of the most interesting
meetings in it's history. In addition
to the tilt over selection of the
next convention city, the days
program includes heated debate on
the adjusted compensation act, now
before congress, popularly known
as the Bonus Bill" Considerable
interest was manifest in the cleo
ton of state commander, Luther K.

patriotism itself for the sake OF a
few votes in primaries or at the
general election.
This is a fine thing. 1t means that
no Senator will be able to say with
truth that he was not informed as to
the exact meaning of the proposed
horizontal bonus to the United States
and to it's people. There are United
States Senators of both great politi-
cal parties who scorn to traffic for
votes with the puiblic's money, men
like Borah among the Republicans
and William among the Democrats,
who will tell the truth about the
bonus.
This concession of full public de-
bate in the Senate has been wrung
from bonus statesmen by aroused
public opinion-the aroused public
opinion which has demonstrated in
the primaries how utterly ignorant
of the American soldier those politi-
clans were who thought he could be
bought with a horizontal bonus.
That aroused public opinion,
American opinion, has changed the
atmosphere in which bonus states
men live. They have begun to feel
the anger of outraged constituencies,
the wrath of a betrayed people,
