The plan of the government
to raise revenue through the
sale of war savings stamps is
one of the most commendable
plans yet instituted. The sale
of liberty bonds was and is
necessarily circumscribed be
cause these bonds could not be
issued in small denominations
sufficient to include the small
savings of the millions who
handle only small means. With
the savings stamps, however,
all can have a hand in finan
cing their government. Millions
who felt themselves unable to
spare the amount of a bond
can contribute through this
channel. And the fact that
every penny invested in these
stamps is so much saved and
invested at a profit, should in
spire in the American people a
spirit of thrft and saving that
has heretofore been totally for
eign to our nature. The res
ponse should be universal.

The Red Cross Answers
By THEODOSIA GARRISON
Of the Vigilantes.
Dear Clod, to leave this sheltered place wherefrom I may not go
To Rive my service to n world torn through with war and woe,
To heal the wounds of broken men, to mend the shattered mind,
To lend my hands unto the maimed, my eyes unto the blind;
To give a woman back her man from out the very dead—
“I’.ut I will do this for you,” said the great Cross of Ited.
Na.v, hut there are little towns that once were white and fair
Now burned and bleak and desolate 'mid blackened Helds and hare;
if I might bring Its people back to find there as before
The staunch roof, the docent hearth, the vines about the door;
If I might lift a frightened child and leave It comforted—
“Hut 1 u ill do tills for you,” said the great Cross of Ked.
"Yon may heal the wounded and you may guide the blind,
You may bring now comfort and Joy to humankind.
If so within your sheltered place you give me for your purt
The strength within your two hands, the pity at"your heart;
Through you, iiom you, of you I am, by your own heart-strings led,
I tall hut It you fail me”—said the great Cross of ited.

OLD-FASAION WED
DING AND INFAIR ON
25TH10F MAY 1865
1 imagine myself today to be
a 14 year old boy, bare-footed,
with my '‘britches” rolled up to
my knees, a straw hat with a
hole in the top and a wisp oi
hair sticking up, a sore toe
with a greasy yarn string tied
around it, a stone bruise on my
heel, and one sore eye- 1 don’t
exactly remember that 1 had all
these delectable possessions on
the day in question, but 1 had
’em all the same when 1 was
a boy.
The contracting parties to
this old-time wedding were Mr.
David Perry Tunstall and Miss
Martha Jane Jernigam It took
place at the home.of Rev. and
Mrs. Dicy Jernigan. Hon. John
J- Martin was the officiating
officer. Everybody who knew
Squire Martin knew him to be
a jolly, genial, whole-souled
gentleman. He transmitted
some of his mirthfulness to his
sou. Urban, of Sulphur Rock.
Now, if I can set my memory
bump to working just right, I
think I can tell the tale and not
tell any story about it.
It was the first thing of the
kind to take place in our home
and it wys an event to us all.
I had seen my father marry
several couples, both at our old
home and in the community.
But it had not come into our
family circle till this date. I
really did not know just what
it would all look like, and I
was wide awake to see and
keep up with every detail- To
see my dear, sweet, sister dres
sed as a bride, and see her take
her place on the floor by a
man we had not known very
long, but had known his fam
ily for quite a while, was an
historic event, and mingled
with boyish notions that now
can’t all be recalled. Rut
there was another feature
about it—the “wedding sup
per." Anil here is where I felt
a deep interest. If there is
anything on earth that a boy
loves at 14, it is something
good to eat.
** cii, wt; nau li, Mill my:
“gewhilikens!” I thought the
big folks would never get
through eating, and if they did.
there would not be anything
left for me and George and
Luther. Well, I might say for
me, and let the other boys
root hog or die. But our tur .
came after a while, and i .

Of course 1 wanted to go—felt

none but the big boys, Tom

Furnish Information to De
pendents of Soldiers ,
Mrs. J. M. Hawley of Bates
ville, chairman of the Home
Sendee Set’ u of the Indepen
dence County Red Cross Chap
ter announces that this section
is prepared to give full and
complete information in regard
to the war insurance bill enact
ed by Congress. The National
American Red Cross has sent
all necessary information to
the chapter, and will send all
future rulings of the Govern
ment as they are made. Ev
ery family having a soldier or
sailor in our country’s service
will be interested in this bill,
as it provides funds for the
dependents of a soldier, makes
provisions for cheap govern
ment insurance to be paid the
beneficiary named by the sol
dier, and arranges for the pay
ment of a fixed sum of money
to the soldier and to his de
pendents, should he be injured
or maimed while in the coun
try’s service.
i "i t-Aampie, a private, wno
has a wife and two children
would 'nave to allot $15 (half
oi his pay) for their support.
On his doing that, the Govern
ment will give a separation al
lowance ot $15 for the wife
$10 for the first child, and $7.
50 for the second. The soldier’s
allotment added to the Govern
ment separation. allowance
would bring $17.50 regulari /
each month to his dependents.
Tie cannot be compel!, d to
make allotments to :r m iIki-,
Xuthci, sister or oiotijei, but u
be voluntarily makes such al
lotment. the Government in
some cases will make a sep.u
ation allowance to some de
pendents.
•). W. Parse of the limn'
Service Section will he at the
U. S. Clerk’s oflice in the Po a
Office Building at Batesvilh*
p\ery day prepared to give in
formation on this bill. The
home service section has sen.
a letter to alt the fcimilies in
tins county having members of
it in the service, telling them
that this advice is available.
This is a splendid piece of
work on the part of the chap
ter, as the provisions of the
War Insurance Bill are so intri
cate that some families may
not secure the benefits of its
operation without this very
necessary advice.

Service Section are: Mrs. ,J. M.
