An Appreciation
Three county commissioners, H. C.
Green, H. M. Burras, and J. N. Hop
kins, turned over the duties of the
offices held by them to their succes
sors yesterday. While the work of
these men has been very close to all
of us and of vital interest, we art
prone to ignore their leaving. We
would look upon tlieir departure as a
matter of course, und then feel jus i
fied in not even thanking them'for the
many deeds they have done for us and
our county. Cut they are men, and
men oevrlook such defaults.
Not only have the e men listened
to the complaint of the small tax
payer, even when a Hog was listed
Citizens Have Duties As Officers
Yesterday at noon Martin County
changed its officers when a new sher
iff, deputy sheriff, recorder, solicitor,
and three county commissioners were
sv.'orn in. A goodly number succeed
themselves to various county .offices,
and their duties will continue just as
if there had been no election this
year. The new officers entered upon
their duties soon after accepting the
oath of office.
The entire citizenship of the county
feels, unconsciously so, perhaps, that
the job is up to the officers of the
county. We feel that since they get 1
the pay they should do the job. Surely J
the county heads will execute their
duties tso the best of their ability. Hut ,
wt foster an erring conception of it
all when we feel justified in our leav- I
ing the job entirely to the officers of

After the call for dinner is made and f
everybody has settled into the very serious
business of eating everything in eighth—the
conversation is principally about how good
it is to be alive and to have so many, many
good things to enjoy.
Many hostesses buy all the baked goods
for the meal at our bakery. And very of

ID PN jiddreea at the dedication of
.he W uihington Christian Church
Sua:lay, Jo. ephus Daniels took for his
text the Challenge to Christianity
Mr Daniels dwelled at some length
on the facts found in the World War,
when Christian nations were engaged
in u great struggle, when the accom
plishment was destruction, not only
of property but life a; well; the very
thing that every man's Christianity
teaches him not to Uo. Christianity j
teaches love and help, not hate and
killing, although the latter was just
what was done. The Christian pul-'
pit was used in a larpe way as a war
recruiting station, praying that our
boys mi;:ht kill the other boys. The
churches only went half way in their
prayers; they did not say 'peace on
earth, good will to men."
