THURSDAY, APRIL IS, li)IS. If another man has sent his son to the front at the call of your government don't you think you should send some of your dollars there to hack up that other man's son? The son may not come hack; your dollars will, and they will come back with interest. Now, do you not think it your duty to purchase Liberty Bonds? "It is no light of mine"?did you say that? Then whose light is it? If the insults and murder dealt to your own coun- 1 trymen are not sufficient cause to make it a concern of yours, what . would make it your concern? - ? ? - - MONARCH PEOPLE BUY LIBERTY 4 BONDS The people of Monarch Mills are investing in Liberty Bonds in fine | fashion. Up to last night 27 individuals had each bought a $50 bond and one of the officers of the mill had bought a $300 bond. The canvass is not yet over, and many others are contemplating the purchase of a bond. This speaks well for Monarch people, and is the spirit that will whip the kaiser and all his brutal war lords. We understand that many at Lockhart, Excelsior Knitting Mills and Buffalo arc making ivestments in Liberty Bonds. We cannot praise too highly this most worthy spirit that the people in our mill villages are manifesting. We heartily believe that it will not be a great while before every single individual that purchases a bond will be proud of his having done so; and, if we mistake not, those who neither went to the front nor bought Liberty Bonds will be ashamed to own that they did neither. You may rest assured that all those selfish people who, during the great upheavel, turned the occasion into profit for themselves and neglected to do one single thing save fatten on the war, will find that they are marked men?men who, in the firey trial, showed dross and not gold. A man who can and will not purchase Liberty Bands should be ashamed of his lack of patriotism. TO THE FARMERS OF UNION COUNTY I am not going to give you any advice upon the subject of how to farm. I don't know how to farm, never did and never will. I would not be afraid to try if I thought I could succeed at it. Knowing nothing about that avocation, I could not hope to succeed. I am not herein scolding the farmer; he has, in the past, had a pretty hard road; that he is now on the way to a vastly better financial condition, I am rejoiced to see. Long preyed upon, and long held in bondage, the farmer of the South is coming into his own. But I am writing this to urge every farmer, big, little, old, young, black and white to purchase at least one $50 Liberty Bond. You owe it to yourself to do this, and I am going to give you one reason. There are many reasons, but here is one that you cannot answer: If Germany wins, you lose. I mean by that that you may bid farewell to high-priced farm products of any and all descriptions. You see how the great battle on the Western front is affecting the price of cotton. As Germany presses England back, cotton drops $25 a bale. If Germany beats England to her knees, it will be still worse. Your pocket, not to ment inn vAiir notfiAf iom nAir*tn viwii j wui j'uh h/vioiii, i"" ii vr> l/iiu wrty to you and urges you to buy Liberty Honds. No greater calamity could come to the farmer of the country than to have England and France go down before the brutal Hun. Your thirty-five cent cotton will drop to six-cent cotton. There are many ways to prove this, but I will be content with having you remember that even with England falling back, your cot ton slumps $25 a bale. With England whipped, it will sink to a vastly lower level. This is a rase in which a man, to save himself must save others. You conserve by scattering. You hold by giving (lending rather.) Every farmer in Union County owes it to himself to buy at least one $50 bond. SOI I UNION DOTS Mrs. Austin Tucker, who has been quite sick for several days is recovering slowly.
