TUCKERMAN NEWS.
Mrs. Bettie Stout and Mr. Horace
Painter were united in the bonds of
^ ’ matrimony at the home of the former
a few days ago. Justice of the Peace
* W. S. Lawrence officiated.
Mr. and Mrs. Penn Davis have a
very sick child at this time. Their
many friends hope for a speedy re
covery of their little one.
So many boys are returning from
the colors that it seems almost like
old times. We believe a great many
of them will come back home with a
new vision of life.
Kirk Payne, one of Tuckerman’s
young men, had a most interesting
letter 4n last week’s Independent. All
his friends certainly enjoyed reading
ii _
Mrs. Congleton left Sunday even
ing on Train No. 3 for St. Vincent’s
hospital in Little Rock, to be treated
for paralysis.
Mrs. J. W. Little of Jonesboro was
called here recently on account of the
death of W. J. Pennington. Mrs. Lit
tle is the sister of Alfred and Hub
Jsmes.
F. W. Harris, of Mammoth Spring,
who is traveling for the Rice-Ober
man Company of Joplin, Mo., was in
our city the first of the week.
Both Sunday schools in our town
report successful work. We hope the
time is near when we shall see every
boy and girl in Tuckerman attending
Sunday school. It is good to see the
children there and speaks well of the
parents in sending them, but it would
be much better if the parents would
also attend.
The death Angel came into the
home of W. J. Pennington and took
from the inmates the father and head
of the family. Mr. Pennington was a
men loved by all who knew him. He
leaves a wife and several little chil*
dren and a host of friends, who grieve
for him. He was a strong Christian
character, and a man who loved and
cared for his family. The bereaved
ones have the heartfelt sympathy of
all. Funeral services were held at
the Elgin cemetery and were con
ducted by S. C. Vick.
Death came to the home of Mr. An
derson Meek, who lives one mile
north of town and took from the home
the wdfe and mother. It is sad indeed
when the mother must go. Seven
children of the home are quite ill, but
kind hands are doing all that can be
done to administer comfort.

“Does Jesus care when I’ve said good
bye,
To the dearest on earth to me?
When my poor heart aches, till it
nearly breaks—
Is it ought to Him? Does He see?
O, yes! He cares, I know He cares,
His heart is touched with my grief;
While the days are weary, the long
nights dreary,
! I know my Saviour cares.”
I
The funeral services of Mrs. Meek
I were held in the home and were con
, ducted by S. C. Vick, after which the
! body was laid to rest in the Pleasant
Grove cemetery.
Dr. Norris has located in West
Tuckerman. The coming of Dr. Nor
! ris means we shall have another able
1 physician in our town.

PRESIDENT ASKS
AMERICA TO AID
IN RELIEF WORK
BAYS NATION SHOULD ADVANCE
HUNDRED MILLION TO SAVE
SMALL COUNTRIES.
DISTRESS IN HOLY LAND
Armenian and Syrian Relief Only Or
ganization That Can Reach Peo
ples Who Suffer Most. ..
The proclamation issued by Presi
dent Wilson, endorsing the Armenian
and Syrian Relief Campaign, that will
begin in Arkansas February 3 and
end February 10, has been accentuat
ed by the President’s recommenda
tion, made since he began his travels
abroad, that this Government provide
a fund of $100,000,000 to loan to the
stricken and dyir.g peoples of the
small neutral countries that have
been devastated by the war.
Government aid cannot be extend
ed to the people of the lands of which
the Armenian and Syrian Relief Cam
i paign will relieve. There are more
' than four millions of these Christian
peoples, driven from their homes by
the Turks and Kurds mainly because
they were Christian, who have no Na
tional Governments.
The Armenians lived in Turkish
territory, aad were prosperous before
the war gave the Turks an opportun
ity to massacre and torture them be
cause of their religious views, and at
a time wh£n Christian America could
scarcely join other Christian ooun
tries in extending the protection that
In the past, had in a measure deterred
the Turks.
But the Armenian and Syrian Re
lief, with its organization through the
missionaries, were able to maintain a
system of organization that gave some
relief. The Red Cross was unable to
give this relief, because of its inabil
ity to get into the country where the
suffering was the greatest.
Since the armistice was signed ^til
er places hitherto inaccessible even
to the Armenian and Syrian Relief,
are now open, and the sums demand
ed are much larger. Every c<mt of
money contributed In this campaign
will go to relieve the distress of the
stricken people.
Every penny of the expense is pro
"ided for in another fund, supplied for
that purpose, so that not one cent of
the contributions is to be wasted.
The 75 counties of Arkansas are
asked for a total of $150,000 for this
great work, and Pulaski county will
be expected to raise $30,000 of the
amount. This amount is divided up
into small quotas, so that each county
can do the work asked without much
effort, and without financial strain.
Arkansas has met every tall on her
generosity in the past, and as This
will in all probability be the last of
the calls growing out of the great
war, and Arkansas’ resources have
not been severely taxed, there is no
reason to fear that the response will;
fail, and it is anticipated that a large"
oversubscription will result.
HOSPITALS FOR
THE PERSECUTED
LJ. S. Government Sells Equipment
for Nomina! Sum For Worthy
Charity.
Fifteen hospitals, of 100 beds each,
including complete eqirpment and
300 motor trucks, were purchased by
the Armenian and Syrian Relief Com
eminent since the armistice was sign
ed, for a nominal sum. Buildings are
already available in Armenia, Syria
and Turkey for this equipment, and
it is now being moved from France.
More than two million Christian
Armenians, Greeks and Syrians, who
are in distress because of persecution
from the Turks, will thus he provided
for. The money derived from the Ar
menian ar.d Syrian Relief Campaign*
February 3-10. will cause these hospi
tals to be available for the use ol
those afflicted peoples.
The quota for the whole State of
Arkansas is only $150,000. The Unit
ed States wi'l raise $3d,000,u00 for
the relief of these stricken peoples.
NEED FOR QUICK ACTION
If Relief Be Not Speedily Cdven Mil
lions cf Christians in Far tast
Wiil Starve.
M. L. Althelmer, campaign director
for the Armenian and Syrian Relief,
has received cable advices from the
Near East, telling of the immediate
needs of the stricken peoples, who
are dying from actual starvation
there.
These people, to the number ol
' nearly 4,000,000, were driven from
prosperous homes by the merciless
Turks during the war. Since the
armistice was signed the committee
has been able to extend relief where
it has hitherto been unable to pene
trate.
Tim campaign opens February 3
and in one week the seventy-rive
counties of Arkansas Will raise $150,
000 for this relief.
