illness from paralysis, the first stroke
having been suffered more than
twenty years ago. In the long years
of her suffering and confinement to
the homo the tender care of her chil

who knew the Invalid, and this care
and solicitude for tho every comfort
of the aged lady was her chief source
of joy, enabling her to bear all her
sufferings with that cheerfulness and

ure, die has also been <a rural mall
carrier in Mississippi for some years.
As an illustration of his crop failure
Mr. Sloan states that on four acreB
planted in cotton be gathered the
crop, which netted ,350 pounds of
seed cotton, tho boll weevils having
destroyed the balance. Mr. Sloan
and family ai^ located in the New

Mr. and 'Mrs. G. 13. Gunthnrp, of
West lUnlon. Young Guntharp en
listed in the navy las't -June, ?and was
assigned to the battleship New Jer
sey. Recently the was given a chance
to .prove himself in marksmanship,
preparatory to receiving promotion

possibility of 300 bim he made 2 G G.
This is considered one o'f the best
records ever .made for a nav*al gun
ner, il ie is now at .an Eastern port
and will probably be placed on a
merchant ship or transport at an
early day. Young. Guntharp was
only 17 years of age last October.
We hope for his continued success
in this arm of the service, and that
he nn'ay live to sink many subs. Go
to lt, Guntharp!
