Before the sale closes and the list has been completed i we expect to see every family in Pick- t ens represented, because we do not be- f lieve there is a single family in the corn munity that is not 100 per cent Ameri- t can, and because we do not believe there 'I is a single individual in Pickens who f does not want his dollars to be used to % support Picken's boys who are to-day I fighting the Huns in France. If you have bought a bond and your I name is not in this list be sure that you 1 report the fact to The Sentinel office at t once as it would not be fair to you or f the community to have the name omit ted. We know that in the end it will be a complete roster of the families in Pickens and will in many cases include the names of every member of the t family.

Monday afternoon the Wes leyan College students and faculty and the high school students and faculty paraded the streets flying banners, with appropriate verses on them, and also carrying large U. S. flags. Some of tle small children were dress;ed like red cross nurses. This great pocession was led by Lieut. Marvin Lawrence who was mounted. Ward Bedford represent ed Uncle Sam and carried a Cerman flg dragging in the dust. Dr. Bedford and I his faithful faluity at each school de serve much credit for the araangement of this parade. The climax of Monday's eiorts was reached Monday night when Dr. John E. White delivered one of his imasterlul, piatriotic addresses. Dr. White carried every one in the audience right up to the place of owning n Liberty bond or being so marked by society that Whatever else we might dc it would never erase the black miar put on us by failing to buy a Liberty bond Dr. White was interrupted many times in his discourse by prolonged ap plause. qThe big drive for the Fourth Liberty loan is on and Central will "go over the top" with her apportionment. We have some as loyal and patriotic men and women as ever trod American soil. We may have some who have not done any thing for either the Red Cross or the ILiberty loun drives, but if we have such we frankly say we are ashamoed of themi. \Valter Madden, who was stationed ait Camp Sevier, was buried at Mt- Zion cemetary He was a victim of Smpanish - ,ieut.
