WOODROW WILSON
In yesterday’s Gazette we saw two
photographs of Woodrow \N ilson, one
taken eight years ago—the other, re
cently made as he appeared at a cab
inet meeting. The one of eight years
ago showed the bright sparkle of health
and youth, while the one of today re
veals a countenance careworn and
wea ry
Woodrow Wilson’s burden lias t»een
the heaviest. perhni»s that was ever
borne by any chief executive on the
fnee of the earth When it became
necessary for America to step forward
and st,,p the mad rush of a war that
threatened civilization with its lurid
flame of German oppression it was
Woodrow Wilson who guided and di
rectcd the movements of the American
army which when speedily assembled,
represented the grandest body ot nulli
fy men that ever marched beneath the
•quick twinkle” of the stars.
Throughout the long anxious days
nut weeks and months to follow there
never was a single hour when Wood
row Wilson's tonderest thought was
not centered on the great responsibility
resting upon his high office and he
labored day in and day out for an lion
orable victor}. and the ultimate cs
tnhlisbment of a permanent peace.
Today lie i- broken in health, and
the picture of disappointment is writ
tei. across his furrowed brow, as a re
mit of the defeat of ids plan for a
league of Nations, to which effort he
gave the most careful and painstaking
,-.tudv of his care worn lit'. Possibly
not during ids day on earth hut cor
Utin to follow in the list of National
achievements, will come the universal
acknowledgment of the ..*

LETTER FROM MRS. 1. S. BLACK
I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.)
A. Arisley, (lot mo add. n bettor roan
never lived). Col E. A. Waren edited
| the -‘Dispatch” a weekly; Gernskv
Grimes was one of his most faithful
eontiributors.
The first church house erected, was
the C. P., presided over by Rev. Givens.
Soon afterward the M. E. church house
was built, and had ns pnstor E. O.
Steele. We used Captain Ansley’s
school building for the meetings of our
literary societies.
Milas Gamble, grocery store was
headquarters for my butter, egg- and
vegetables. In those primitive days we
were all, just like one, big, happy fam
ily.
Many changes htave come since that
time
Many dear to my heart are no more;
And tho’ in a far distant clime
1 I think of them ALL. o’er and o'er.

FRANCIS WILLARD MEETING
AH who attended the Francis Willard
meeting yesterday afternoon at ttlie
home of Mrs. W. B. Waller were ready |
with a quotation from this gifted wo
man when called upon. The lender
Mrs. J. A. age, read a very touching
little poem. “Not what she 'Hid. but
a hut ...he uiu," which revealed the beau
ty and tenderness that Miss Willard
showed to an outcast and which
brought her into paths of right.
Mrs. Cress gave a sketch of Miss Wil
lard’s life, and her ancestry which cast
nn illumination on the “whys and the
wherefores" of her wonderful achieve
ments. She came of a long liue of clean
parentage—educated, cultured, religi
0Us—an inheritance that makes reform
ers who know no defeat. Instead of
erecting a monument of marble that
would perish with the ravages of time.
Miss Willard’s comrades chose to es
tablish a memorial fund with which to
put into the hearts of the people the
high and holy purposes of the Womeu’s
Christian Temperance Union, and Mrs.
1). L. Maltae gave some very interest
ing dividends from this fund which
showed themselves in the extension of
the work in out of way places where it
is said, had a more salutary influence
in sopping crime and liquor-selling than
jails, fines or officers.
Those present who gave the beauti
ful quotations from Miss Millanl must
have received a deeper meaning of life
and its wonderful opportunities for ser
vice.
Two beautiful children were dedicat
ed to the White Ribbon movement, lit
tie Helen Frances Nutter, who, with
her own little hands, paid a dollar into
the treasury. The other was little John
Wuertz. who also gave a dollar.
Next meeting with Mrs. T. McRae,
Jr. March 10.

obtain a competent secretary at $2,400.
Senator Caldwell offered a substitute
amendment to make the salary $3,000
It was adopted. 26 to 2. The Jefferson
county senator declared that the posi
tion did not justify a $.>,000 salary,
which was more than the circuit Judges
and chancellors of the state received.
Another debate arose over the salary
of the rate expert, which also was cut
from $3,000 to $3,000. Senator Rone in
offering an amendment to reduce the
salary to $2,500 said that this amount
was suffeient until it could be ascer
tained how the commission would work
out under the new laws. Senator Wil
son of Union county called attention to
the fact that the oil and gns industries
and pipe lines had been placed under
the jurisdiction of the committee, and
that an able rate man would be requir
ed to handle the new business. The ap
propriation for sueciul clerks, attor
neys, experts, etc., was cut from $8,000
to $5,000. and the appropriation for
equipment, office supplies, etc., from
*5,000 to $2.500.—Gazette.

“I saw that wisdom oxcelletli folly.

Ecclestesiastes 2 :1".
'Pure happiness come only and this
wisdom is from above. The only thing
that can give true joy to the soul is
eommunion with its given.
Worldly pleasures indulged in to its
utmost only leaves the sould the more
miserable. The flesh may find tempo
rary satisfaction hut the sould never.
The real man is unseen, he lives within
he is a helpless prisoner in the hands
of a sinful flesh, lienee no worldly
pleasure can satisfy Wisdom or relig
ion is the natural food of the soul, the
only thing that can satisfy ever longing
and desire, every laudible ambition,
every higher inspiration, every true
vision of the inner man. is that wis
dom that eometh from God alone
Human philosophy fails, the niaJ
rush after pleasure fails, the getting
of great wealth fails. True religion
alone meets the needs and demands of
the 4»ul.

Lott Note Redeemed.
A soldier presented himself at the
commonwealth treasury in Melbourne,
Australia, and said, “I am a 20-pound
note and want to be cashed.” He
stated that he iiad swallowed the
note at Fleurbaix when he expected
to be captured. He remembered the
number, and the note in question
turned out to be the only oue missing
from a particular issue which had
been recalled. __

wells now drilling, wouldn’t you be glad? 1
If you had not bought a lease somewhere ,

Then why not stay glad by preparing for
just what may happen at any time. Let us <
sell you a lease, or royalty somewhere near
these wells, and we will both be glad when <
