"AUNT KATE" OX PEACE, *
*ear Advertiser Readers:
A new date in history has been fixed
for future school children. The 11th
hour of the 11th day of the 11th
month, of 1918-what happened? The
arinistice was signed which stopped
Ohe 'world war and which practically
spelled Peace! Yet us all rise and
slng "Praise God from whom all
blessings flow". I don't think I ever
felt any more like it, surely. In the
quiet farm homes there was no great
parade made when the good news
came, but a great gratitude welled ip
In the heart, a chokiness In the throat,
a mistness in the eyes, while upward
,went the fervent prayer, "Thank God"!
"The world will never see such hero
ism as was displayed by the boys in
gray from 61 to 65," 1 used to hear
amemorial orators say. They will have
to modify that now. The sons have
proved worthy of their sires. My
heart and your heart glows with p'a
triotic pride as we read day after day
of the valiant deeds of the 80th Di
vision in France. \Our own Co. D
(inown to us as 'Traynham Guards)
wa in that unit and we are looking
forward to that good day when the
remaining ones shall march up the
street back to the old armory-heroes
every one. To the ones who found a
resting plaae in sunny France, in song
and story
"We will bid their deeds live on for
ever,
And their souls to find a peace with
- God".
It was a pathetic picture painted
when on July 4th, 1917, Pershing's
army first marched Whrough .Paris.
Women wept as they cried "They como
-the brave Americans". To one an
other they said, "How long can this
little army hold against that horde"?
Days passed by and silently the boys
in khaki from over the seas caine, a
steady, never-ending stream. The
time came and the hour when they
ihould prove what was In them. Pos- I
ifbly it twas the saddest hour of the i
whole war to the French. Their
noralo was slowly ebbing away. When
:hat great offensibo started the last of
Tune and the first days of July, the
Americans were placed on the road
that led to Paris-Chateau-Thiory.
'What place is this, Pard. we're go
ing to takQ and where does this road
lead, which we are going to holdt"
asked a long, lank soldier in khaki,
when the orders came. Call it the
psychological moment, call it what
ever you please when the khaki lads
from America proved their valor
when Chateau-Thiery was taken, iwhen
the Germans were stopped on the road
to Paris-tho joy of the French knew
no bounds and from that moment no
one doubted (if they did before) what
manner of soldiers the laughing
Americans were going to be!
The allied cause is victorious and
thank God for the )art played by
American valor. Pershing knew what
the words meant when he stood by
he tomb of that illustrious French
nan as he bared his head and sol
imnly said, "Lafayette, we have come."
The heroes have not all been fac
ng guns, however.. Back home are
>nes who did everything in their
mwor to back the soldiers. Laurens
mounty is full of such men. It takes
:he highest kind of courage to be the
leaders in different -patriotic activi
ties, such as the Red Cross, Liberty
Loans, W. S. S. and noWr the Urnted
War Workers. Our district ha. had
two such men, J. H. Powers and Sam
Dorroh. They have worked like Tro
jans in any and all drives. An auto
mobilo horn sounded at the farm
house and I went to the door the other
day. The voice of neighbor Powers
greeted me, "Will you let the two
United War workers come In?" "Sure,
and gladly," said T. I hope by the
time this Is in print that all the need
ed sum has been raised. But, dear
reader, if you have failed in this, get
busy and hunt up the chairman in
your district and do your part. If
Wilson did not think it necessary he'd
tot sanction it. - Do your part and be
iappy with the rest of us. We are all
,lad and deep in our hearts we sing
he words "'TLho boys are coming
nome."
"AUNT KATE".
Sleep and Rest.
One of the most common causes of
insomnia and restlessness is indiges
ion. Take one of Chamberlain's Tab
ets immediately after supper and see
f you do not rest better and sleep
better. They. only cost a quarter.
See our line of Parlor Suits. 'They
are big values.'
