The Philadelphia Record says
that General Pershing is a neph
ew of Judge Cyrus Pershing who
was the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania some
40 years ago. His father, who
went out from Westmoreland
county before the civil war to
seek his fortune in the West, was
presumably a Democrat also, and
in his Missouri home the General
must have been subject to strong
Democratic influences during the
formative period of his character.
So it is probable that, if he has
any political leanings at all it is to
ward Democracy. Those Ohio
Republicans who are now boom
ing him ror President, apparent
ly in the hope Of landing a fat job
under him if he should be elect
ed, seem to have oyerlooked these
facts.

ANOTHER SUPREME SACRIFICE.
Dr. James M. McKibbin Died in Hos
pital in France frcm Wound Re
ceived on Firing Line.
Dr. James M. McKibbin, of
Union Township, was one
among the first Fulton County
men to offer his services to the
Government after the United
States had decided to take a
hand in the World War. and he
entered with a Lieutenant's
commission. Not long aft
er reaching France hi3 effi
ciency and faithfulness won for
him the rank of Captain. And
now, the war being over, and ev
ery one in expectancy to see
their friends from overseas re
turning,' the word comes that
James has given his life for
World Democracy. Captain Mc
Kibbin, was a son of the late
Dr. William and Ella Eddowes
McKibbin, and was aged about
46 years. He was, of course,
beyond the draft age, and his
going into the service was purely
voluntary and from the highest
motives of patriotism.
The following letter received
last Saturday from Mobile Hos
pital, No. 4. France, says:
Dear Mrs. Mckibbin.
Some days ago Djctor McKib
bin was injured through the ab
domen whiie on duty in the fight
ing lines. He was brought to our
hospital and operated on. After
a quiet and wonderful fight for
his life, he died last night. I
presume you have already been
notified of his death but thought
you would have some satisfaction
from knowing that his friends
were with him constantly and
made every effort to do for him.
His suffering was slight.
I had asked the Doctor if he
would have me write for him and
he told me to say "All O. K.
everything fine-write more
when can get mail in and out."
Even knowing his condition he
had not wanted to disturb you
about it.
I know you will derive much
consolgtion from knowing that
Doctor McKibbin performed his
duty courageously and it was
with absolate disregard of dan
ger that he went into the area
where he received his wound.
I am very sincerely yours,
Linn B. Stewart,
Capt. M. R. C.

Letter of Thanks.
Mr. Editor:-! wish to pub
licly thank Mr. C. J. Brewer and
family for the splendid gift of a
finely bred Jersey heifer to the
Red Cross Chapter. This offer
was made to the undersigned
last July; but owing to my ab
sence from home, no opportu
nity was afforded to take ad
vantage of the generous offer
until Friday, November 29 th,
when with many other articles
contributed to the patriotic citi
zens of Ayr township, the heifer
was sold at public auction. The
sale amounted to $163 00 which
was turned into the treasury of
the Ayr township auxiliary.
While we all rejoice that the
great war is over, we must not
forget that there is still great
need for the service of the
American Red Cross in helping
the people of the countries that
have been devastated by the re
lentless and cruel German arm
ies.
Respectfully,
D. H. Patterson,
Chairman, Red Cross Fund.

Save As Before.
The t eojJe should not think
that now the war is over they can
be extravagant again. It is just
as important to ttve thuugh the
great reconstruction period as it
was during the war. The war
taxes were6mall in amount com
pared with the war bonds. If
wo do not save until it hurts now
we shall be compelled to do so
later. Cut out the non essentials
individually and collectively.
Save in your own private business
and insist that your public serv
ants shall not be wasteful in the
public business.
