Complete Defeat
at Arms.
News reached Conway last Monday
morning of the ending of the
world war; that Germany had accepted
the terms offered to her by
the allied governments: nnrl flint mi
armistice had been signed and hostilities
had ceased.
The people here celebrated the
day by closing the stores and many
of the offices. Some business was
necessary to accomodate the people
who had come into the town early,
not knowing that the day would be
turned into a holiday. Everybody
was glad that the war was over and
they showed their gladness in various
ways.
There was a parade in the early
afternoon. Many people made merry
in other ways. All of the steam
whistles were blown for hours and
the church bells were rung at intervals
throughout the day.
There was a mass meeting in front
of the town hall, following ths parade
attended by a crowd of people.
Patriotic speeches were made amid
cheering and hurrahs.
The demonstrations stopped with

of the citizens, the teachers of tin;

hundred school children celebrated

here on last Monday night.

Cow bells were swung on long polls
and carried through the streets by
the boys. The Kaiser was put into

Parts of the barrel came back, but
the Kaiser decided not to return this

The celebration of the ending ot
the war was wound up last Monday
night with a ball at the Horrv To
bacco Warehouse, at which nearly

FLU IN FLOYDS
Last week people from Floyds
Township stated that there were
many cases of this disease in Floyds
Twnship, where the epidemic seems
to have taken a recent start. There
were many cases but no deaths since
week before last. It is feared that
there will be cases of the disease
in isolated sections of the country
from time to time during the winter,
but as these will not be widespread
they can be easily controlled and
there will not be the shortage ol
Doctors and Nurses that once existed
in the County.

Shooting'.
Further facts about the shooting
which took place in Dog Bluff Town
ship on Sunday, November 2nd, can
now be given. It is stated that Row
land Elvis had passed the residence
of Mary Hatcher, the widow of J. T.
Hatcher, several times during the
last few weeks and fired off a pistol
at the tombstone of J. T. Hatcher,
located in a family graveyard on the
opposite side of the road from the
Hatcher home. It is stated thai
threats were communicated to Julius
Thurman and Wade Hatcher that on
the evening of that Sunday, that he,
Rowland Elvis, would again shoot
at the tombstone. The three Hatchers,
after that, hid in the graveyard,
and later a Ford automobile, the
property of Daniel Skipper, passed
along the road . The auto had in it
Rowland Elvis, Daniel Skipper,
J$3se Dimery and Rufus Skipper. As
the machine passed shots were fired
at the tombstone and the Hatchers,
who were hid in the graveyard, fired
back and all of the men in the automobile
were struck by the shot.
It was told last week that Skipper's
daughter was in the machine
and that she was also hit, but it de
| veioped that the daughter was not
| along.
It is stated that a warrant was
taken out for Julius, and Thurman
Hatcher, who are brothers and are
sons of the late J. T. Hatcher, also
for Wade Hatcher, who is a grandson
of J. T. Hatcher, and also for
William I. Hatcher, who does not
seem to have been in the affair at
! all.
j It is also said that wine had some!
thing* to do in causing this disturb|

TELEGRAMfUESDAY
TO LOCAL BOARD
The Local Hoard has received from
Major Carwilc, State draft execu
tive, the following telegram, dated
November 12:
I am in receipt of the following
telegram from the Provost Marshal
General and you are directed to observe
same. "The Secretary of war
has today issued the following order
to the Provost Marshal General:
'You will at once instruct State head
quarters and Local and District
boards immediately to discontinue
all work connected with classification
of men who on Sept. 12, 1918,
attained their thirty-seventh birthday.
You will further instruct said
boards to continue to completion a:"
expeditiously as possible the classification
of all registrants who on
Sept. 12, 1918, had attained their
nineteenth birthday, and had not attained
their thirty-seventh birthday.
You will, finally, at the earliest appropriate
moment direct all local
and Disrtict boards to issue question
naires to all registrants who on
Sept. 12, 1018, had attained their
eighteenth birthday and had not at
tained their nineteenth birthday, and
to proceed with and complete as early
as possible the classification oi
such registrants.'
"Further orders will be issued later
covering the matter of sending
questionnaires to, and classifying
eighteen year old registrants.
"In entering pursuant to the foregoing
instructions upon what seems,
in view of the mighty events of the
day, to be the final work of this
character to be done by the Selective
Service system, I extend to the
members of that system my personal
congratulation upon their truly
great achievements of the last year
and half, achievements that have
taxed to the utmost the time, the
ability, and the endurance of all
those engaged in the work, and thit
have furnished the army to which in
large measure must be given the
'credit for saving to the world both
civilization and government by the
' people. To you, members that sysI
tern, must come a sense of duty well
j clone which only a loyalty, patrioti
ism, and devotion such as yours can
bring. The country and the world
knows that it owes to you a debt of
thanks and gratitude which cannot
be measured by word but only by
i the affection, the respect, and the
esteem, now yours, of these among
whom you live and from whom you
have taken that which was beyond
price."
In undertaking the completion of
your work under the orders above, 1
bespeak of you the same interest
and tireless energy which has characterized
your work in the past,
