XKttJED vt 'ess UNITED STATES (GOVERKMENT Buy Them And Help Win The War TOR SALE EVERYWHERE ? Deeply Grateful. We are profoundly grateful for the numerous very kind expressions that have come to us since the last issue of The Advertiser was pub lished, which contained our personal statement concerning the report as to our receiving large sums Iroin the government for services ren dered. These expressions have been ?ade by many friends in person and through letters. This extract from a letter written by a business mao in the county, who is not only without a peer among his fellows but whose irood opinion is sought by many, is highly appreciated: " I read your 'Personal Card' in last week's paper, and am writing a word to express to you my dis gust and feeling of shame that any ene would so far forget himself as to suggest the idea that you 'are gettingj*icli at the expense of the government." I wish you would pay no furtbei attention to such talk. No good and true man be lieves them. These rumors ?lo not deserve the dignity of a passing no tice." , - * " ? ? Glee Club Corning.

How hard it is to give him up, For he's so dear to us. But off to France he soon'frill go And help settle all this fuss. When we go hack to Edgefield, And see where he has trod, Our hearts are deeply sadder. Still he's in the hands of Go:l, When wo see the old Oil Mill, The place where he lovod to work, It makes our hearts rejoice and leap To know nothing he would shirk. "Rim" worked hard at the Mill Many, many, hot summer days, And by his will he worked his way. Up into all our praise. He's working now for Uncle Sam, A good and worthy man And in the name of God we give This sacrifice for our homeland. Now that he has left us. And sad our hearts may be We still remember dear Old "Rim" And iraitatt! such a boy as he. We trust the cruel war will soon end At last the victory won, "Rim" and all^ihe boys come bnck, Then America will be proud of her sons. Sister.
