PAGE EIGHT MEMORIALS TO AMERICAN SOLDIERS WHO SLEEP IN FRENCH CEMETERIES ' 0 - H/ Upper left, Chateau Thierry; right, St. Mihiel; lower left, Meuse-Argonne; right, Sure*net cemetery. — i THERE are eight military ceme teries in which American sol diers rest in foreign lands, A system of elaborate yet dig nified memorial chapels for these cem eteries and also for the battlefields on which our heroes paid the supreme sacrifice has been perfected by the American Battle Monuments commis sion. The main structures commemorate the major operations in which our forces participated. The largest of these, a fluted white shaft approached by various levels of white marble steps, erected at Montfaucon, perpet uates the Meuse-Argonne offensive which ended in the breaking of the Hindenburg line. Heroism of the Americans at St. Mihiel lives in a me morial at Montsec that somewhat re sembles the Lincoln memorial at Washington. Another major building is located on a hill at Chateau Thier ry, overlooking the Marne river, and a fourth is in Suresnes cemetery. Links That Bind Present and Past On this Memorial day the roads that lead to bivouacs of sleeping soldiers are filled again with marching com rades, carrying flowers to freshen old memories. Each year takes its toll and every spring finds more vacant files in ranks of those who first marched on Memorial day; finds more names scratched from the muster rolls. % CLOSE-OUT SALE YES, WE ARE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND OUR MAMMOTH CLOSE-OUT SALE BEGINS SATURDAY, MAY 25TH Be on hand, for this sale will be the greatest saving proposition ever heard of in Chatham county.

Younger, sturdier veterans are march ing with those who wear the blue or gray. As the years roll on the blue and gray will fade and these recruits of a younger generation will turn out in increasing numbers to take their places. Time will have that effect. Thus another link is welded for this chain which, on the thirtieth day of May, binds the present and the past. The veterans of the Civil war formed one link. Then the veterans of the Spanish war made another and the veterans of the World war are anoth er. The Civil war link holds firm. The pension office carries more than 77.000 survivors on its rolls. Nor were they the first link, though they orig inated this custom of today. Only ten years before they went to war the Inst man who bore arms in the lievolufiou died. They were gray-haired when, in 1905, the last soldier of ISI2 sought his grave. And today a bare handful of those who fought in the Mexican war are living; feeble old men who were adventurous youngsters when Lincoln, in the house, was berating James K. Polk for sending them to war— “He knows not where he is. He \ is a bewildered, confounded and miser ably perplexed man.” In 1950, some of those who march today, wearing their blue or gray, will be alive. In 1988 there will be living some who volunteered when the Maine went down. And some of the “boys” of the World war will see the dawn of a new century. But after they go— will there be yet another link? TTTV PTT A TTT A M PITTSBORO. N. C.

SAMUEL TEMPLES COGGINS > —- Samuel Temples Coggins, age 65, was killed in Greensboro Thursday | morning, May 16, at 3:45 by passen | ger train No. 30. He was on the platform of the passenger station, jin Greensboro, and as the last three I coaches were passing he was seen to fall down between the coaches and the wheels ran over him severing j his body. There was only one wit -1 ness to this terrible tragedy—the porter on the train and it is very unlikely that the real cause will ever be determined. He might have stumbled over something or it might have been heart failure. He had served as watchman for sometime. He was for many years employed by the Southern railroad company as ! track foreman and foreman of the j extra force. He was native of this county (Chatham), being a son of the late Samuel Temples Coggins and wife, Salinda. In his young manhood he was married to Miss Emma Wilkie, a daughter of Mr. D. F. and Mrs. Nancy Wilkie, and to this union were born three children, Misses Ethel Cummings and Lora, and one son, Jimmie. Jimmie died at four and Lora was only about a month old. Mr. Coggins has lived in Greens boro for many years, but has many kinsfolk in Lee and Chatham. He is survived by his widow and one daughter, Mrs. Ethel Paylor, of Gastonia, and one grandson, Scott Paylor, Jr. The funeral service was held at Bear Creek Baptist church, near here, of which the deceased was a former member, Friday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. J. Clyde Turner, of First Baptist church, Greensboro, and the interment was made in the church cemetery.

HE FESSED UP. “Judge,” cried the prisoner in the dock, “Have I got to be tried by a , woman jury?” : “Be quiet,” whispered his counsel. 1 “I won’t be quiet.

I’m guilty.” In short, our foreign policy is that we’ll agree to go into the World : Cour\ if w’e can go in with our fingers crossed—Southern Lumberman. i fwwvAVWiVAY.v.vMVW.m ,^Aw^mv^/ l I PAINTS AND OILS ;!

It has been simply impossible to meet the de- f&Ak. mand. But now we are ready to show it to the farmers of this vicinity. HR Great power for its size and weight stands 1 out as the big advantage of the new Case. II Flexible power, too, that economically pulls three or four plows, a 28-inch thresher as we D II as smaller belt driven machines. Yet the 11 tractor weighs but slightly more than three draft horses. Three speeds, miles an hour—low and compact design— short turning radius —and remarkable ease of handling are other features that add to the usefulness of this new tractor. || Come in and see for yourself what Case has accomplished after four years of the most extensive engineering and development work || that probably has ever been put into a tractor.
