James Jones, of Tupelo, was here
today meeting friends on his return
from the navy, where he had been in
service for over a year, and was corn
petted to give up his work, much
against his wish, on account of having
suffered a fractured skull from a fall
ing piece of timber on the steamer.
The young man after finishing his
training was sent to the Battleship
New Hampshire and later to a trans
port, which carried foodstuffs and
supplies to Liverpool, Manchester and
Bristol, England. It was on this
transport that he received the blow
that knocked him out of service. He
says the seaman’s life is the life for
him, and that he is lonesome away
from his eighteen hundred Jackie
friends.
Miss Sylla Harvey, of our city, and
Miss Clara Harvey, of Tuckerman,

Rock Wednesday, where he spent the

compelled to give up her work on ac
count of ill health.

• * - This paper has enlisted
With the government in the
cause of America for the
period of the war.
WHY NOT?
Jefferson county of this state has
set a patriotic example which every
county should follow, and every state
in the union. Wheat is the greatest
feL need of the French, English and Ital
ian people and we have the only wheat
and flour they can hope to get. If
we, who claim to be true patriots,
want to do something really big let
us up and say here is Jackson county’s
flour, Uncle Sam, take it and send it
over there.
We at home have plenty of other
good things to eat and can well do
without wheat flour, especially so
wiicii uy uumg wv can ncip will wie
war. Of course, some slackers are
going to holler—but this is no time
to let a few loud and selfish people
keep the true and loyal people from
doing their will. This country is too
big for the slacker and pro-German.
If they don’t like the way things are
run its up to them to move to some
country where things are run just to
suit them—and we hardly think they
will find that country on earth just
now. |
We sincerely hope that concerted
action will be taken at once through
the local food administrator by the
wholesalers and retailers of Jackson
county offering the entire supply of
wheat flour to the government.
We are as big, as true, as loyal as
the people of Jefferson county, so let
us take action right now.
