Mayor W. W. Raney of Mc

Prof. Gray, our genial young

Grover C. Gardner, one of

Our Station Agent, Faulk
ner, who has been a little un
der the weather is now about
straight—is able to invest in

paper. Let us all buy and pay
weekly or monthly for it.
The Mullens Grocery Co.,
through its manager, J. W.
Mullens, Wednesday wired the

the Government purchase
through Food Administrator,
Williams, at Little Rock. In
addition to this Manager Mul
lens asks every one of the em

American bunch, and they are
practicing the sentiments of
America too.
M. B. Hare, that genial and
pleasant, hale, well met fellow,
member of the Clements Mer
cantile Company of Auvergne,
passed through our city Wed
nesday morning enroute home
from Memphis, where he had
been on business for his firm.
Mr. Hare tells us that his little ;
town is loyal to the core for
the Liberty Loan. He related
how his town of 18 white men
and the negro tenants went
“over the top” to the tune of
$15,300.00 when their allot
ment was only $8,000. The
negro tenants held a meeting,
had their own speaker, and
every fellow to a man subscrib
ed for a. bond. Only one fel
low had been “talking” and he
was made to walk up before
the crowd and kiss the folds of
“Old Glory.” The leading
business men, knowing the
earning capacity of the ne
groes, had prepared an esti
mate that each fellow could
meet, and this list was gladly
accepted by them. How wise
this procedure, and how de
serving these negro tenants to
acquiesce. This plan should
meet the hearty approval of
all liberty loving people all
over this state and land, and 1
these men of Auvergne who
enacted such a systematic plan
deserve the praise of our peo
ple and all of us could with
profit benefit from their exam
ple. Now, if the negro tenant
can do things, how much more
should his white neighbor run
and be victorious in this great
race! Let every American
buy and own a piece of U. S.
paper, buy a bond, buy a War
Savings Stamp, buy a Thrift
Stamp, they are made so that
all may invest, and it is an in
i vestment. Dad and mother,
buy bonds, youngsters buy a
bond, War Savings Stamp, the
kind that fit their earning ca
pacity, and then let other mem
bers of the family buy the ba
bies thrift cards. We are not
loyal if we fail our Government
in this, her hour of peril. Let
us loan the Government our
money and then eat corn bread
with gladness of heart and sing
America and love Old Glory,
the prettiest emblem of liberty
under Heaven—the red, white
and blue, whose red stands for
the martyr’s blood and the
blood of our khaki sons now
making red the fair land of
sweet sunny France for liber
ty’s sake; whose white repre
sents the virgin purity of our
womanhood of America, as
exemplified through the Red
Cross, white robed angles of
mercy they are; and whose
blue stands for the eternal
hope of our country, our cause.
