MRS. NANCY PATERSON
Mrs. Nancy Amanda Patter
son (nee Kinaicl), was born
in Tennessee, March 28, 1840
died in Jelks Ark., April,
25, 1919. In 1857 she was
married to David Patterson
of West Tenn. She was the
mother of ten children, seven
of whom preceeded her to the
other world. The three re
maining are Mrs, W. H. Jimer
son, Marshall and Lenard
Patterson. Her husband died
fifteen years ago, after which
time she has made her home
with her children.
Very early in life she was
converted and united with
the Presbyterian church, liv
ing a devoted Christian life in
the fellowship of that church
for a number of years, after
^ which she joined the Metho
dist church of which she re
mained a member until she
was called to the church a
bove.
In the year 1869 she with
her family moved to the In
dian Territory, and later to
Texas, int he fall of 72 the
family moved to Arkansas,
and settled in Woodruff Co.,
where the town of Jelks now
stands.
Through the years of her
long and useful life, her cheif
delight was to make the world
better by the example of a
devoted christain character
lived each day in the fellow
ship with Christ who she ev
er her daily companion, and
whom she loved with a con
suming love and passion that
made her a benidection to all
with whom she came in con
tact with along lifes highway.
Grandmother Patterson as
she was called by the large
circle of friends that she
gathered about her along the
way, and who had learned to
think of her as a mother in
Isreal indeed, was of the type
of Christian womanhood the
ranks of whom are growing
thinner as the years go by.
Her bible was her daily com
panion, and the early morning
hours were her choice for pray
er and reading God’s word
it was her habit to rise early
in the morning to enjoy the
early morning quiet in prayer
and meditation, and to greet
the coming of the new day.
Under what ever conditions
she lived she sought to make
her life count for the greatest
good, and many will come in
that and call h£r blessed for
the great and good woman has
fallen among us. The immed
iate decendents of her family
number fortyfive most of
which attended her last birth
day, of her grandchildren,
Mildred and Olive Patterson
are in the Hawaian. Islands,
Jelks and Willis Brazeale,
and Linn Jimerson are in
France and Germany.
During the last few days
of her life her physical streng
th gave way to her spiritual
life which was the most convin
cing and beautiful if possible
of all that had went before
i She died as she had lived, a
| triumpthant through faith.
| Of her it may be said,
i “ Blessed are the dead that
die in the Lord, from hence
forth : Yea, sayeth the spirit,
| tht they rest from their labors
: and and their works do follow
them.

TO SEE SHIPS
So that the people of the
west may have a close view of
ships used in the war against
the U-boat, the navy depart
ment is assembling an anti
submarine flotilla to make a
trip up the Mississippi river
! and its tributaries.
| These ships and implements
1 of warfare used against Ger
i man U-boats are being sent to
the middle west waters so that
! people of hat part of the coun
1 try may have a full opportun
ity to have a close inspection
of the vessels, guns and the
equipment which the navy has
used in clearing the sea of the
i enemy submarines.
The flotilla will consist of
| the U. S. S. Isabel, a destroy
! er type, the submarine K-5,
three submarine chasers and
! two flying boats, all of which
! with their officers and crews
have seen active service in the
war zone.
me expedition win oe in
j command of Lieut. Com. Thos.
G. Berrien, U. S. N., who is
!now at the submarine base at
Key West. The Isabel, which
will be in command of Lient.
T. N. inson, U. S. N., has sailed
from the navy yard at Phila
delphia to join the other ships
at Key West. From the Flori
da port they will proceed to
New Orleans. The start up
the river will be made early in
May and the trip will extend
to St. Louis and also include
tributaries of the Mississippi.
The tnerary, now being laid
out, includes the visit to all of
the cities and towns on either
banks of the river.
Destroyer, submarine and
chasers will carry war equip
ment. The destroyer will have
a “Y” gun and depth charges.
The submarine will be prepar
ed to submerge. All of the
ships will be illuminattd at
night, both when at anchor
and afloat. One of the chasers
will go in dvanee of the flotilla
and will be in communication
by radio and wireless phone
with the other ships. This
chaser will be used by Lieut.
Com., Wells Hawkse, U. S. N.
R. F., who has been ordered
to precede the flotilla and to
make advance engagements.
Already cities and towns
along the river are preparing
to receive and entertain the
flotilla and its men. The ships
will be prepared to return the
courtesy. The personnel will
include the band from the U. S.
S. Recruit, tht land ship in
Union Square, New York, a
vocal quartette and instrumen
talists from one of the navy

be made by the flying boats.
The Navy department in
tends that everybody in the
Mississippi valley shall see the
flotilla and so that all may be
reached men on motor cycles
will post announcements in all
the villages and nearby coun
ties accessible to the river
ports. It is proposed to make
this the most comprehensive
showing ever sent out by the
navy department.

SOFT DRINK TAX
Due to confusion in the ini*
tial operation and collection
of the new soft drink tax which
was effective May 1, Jack
Walker, collector of internal
revenue, issued the following
statement:
“All soft drinks are taxible,
drinks that are bottled and
put up in containers ready for
serving without further mix
ing or compounding are tax
paid by the manufacturer or
bottler and there is no addi
tional tax due on such drinks
when sold at a fountain; in
other words, dealers are not
required to collect direct from
the consumer any tax on bot
tled drinks when sold. It is,
of course, expected that the
bottlers tax should be. passed
on to the consumer, but there
is no direct payment b the con
sumer on bottled drinks.
“The soft drink tax that is
paid by the consumer is on all
beverages which are com
pounded or mixed, and on ice
cream when sold at the soda
fountain, ice cream parlor, or
similar place of business for
consumption in or in proximit
to such place of business‘s
does not include coffee milt
tea hot chocolate, clam broth
and the like, nor does it j„
elude medicinal preparations
old at fountains. Included in
taxable beverages are PhJ
phatse, root beer, coco cola'
when mixed or compounded
at the fountains, milk shakes
ice ciearn, ice cream sundaes
etc.
The tax is based upon the
whole amount of the prjCe
paid by the purchaser and is
at a rate of one cent on each
10 cent or fraction of the sale
price. When the price paid at
one time, though for several
articles which are the subject
of a single transaction of pur
chase and sale, the total price
paid is the unit for computing
the tax. Thus if the purchaser
orders two sodas at the same
time, each sold for 15 cents
the tax is 3 cents and not 4 cent
If, however, he buys one soda
for 15 cents the tax is two cent,
and if he then immediately
purchases another 15 cent
drink the tax is two cents on
the second sale and cannot be
treated as a part of the first
sale. Any means by which
purchasers pool their orders
for the purpose of defeating or
escaping the tax shall be care
fuly guarded against by the'
vendor for it employment sub
jects the purchaser and the
vendor, if he connives in it, to
heavy penalties.
Fruited regulations will be
furnished within a short time
to all dealers in the state, said
Collector Walker, “and person
having question not covered'
in the general regulations
should make inquiry to the col
lector direct”.
Collector Walker said that
dealers should keep daily rec
ords showing the separate;
amounts received for each
class of taxible transactions,
grouped according to the
amounts of the sale and that
the tax should be turned over
to the governmen on or before
the last day of each month fotl
the business done during the)
preceding month. He stated
that suitable forms will be mj
nished to dealers before tnej
first due date for a return. M
particular method for accoun |
ing for this tax is prescribed Jj
the department and any meW
od is acceptible that clean]
shows the tax due according
to the groups indicated.
