BOONE WATAUGA COUNTY, N. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1918. NO. 7. VOL. XXX. 4 VV ll TEE WX Cf TIIUKPH. Communicated. In the greatest war in history the battled have been fought and the victory won. The greatest is sues in the history of human gov ernment have .been decided. The decision lis that democracy and ' not autocracy shall rale in the governments o! earth. What A merica wrought out for herself in her early history has been wrought out by her and her Al lies lor th wbrld. The old autoc racy had grown powerful in its own regions rid became boastful and ambitious for .the domina tion of the world! "But the little nation across tne sea had, al most unconsciously to herself and the rest 6! the world, became a mighty giant, and dared to de ny to autocracy the attainment of,its coveted goal. The wonder ful story of the 'recent achieve ments of this giant for democra cy and the good of the huts an race are well to the world at large. Her friends and foes stood aghast at her sudden transfor mation from a peace-loving na tion to a mighty military organ ization. Her efficiency and that of her great leaders was display ed in a most extraordinary man to further show us our own weak ness and prepare us to undergo with a proper spirit the test in this hour of" our triumph. We had to be .conquered that we might know how to deport our selves in a triumphant hour. This hour has come to us. . It should be a glad hour to all. No land basgreatercauseforthanks giving than America. While we have poured out out our wealth freely and many of our boys have given their lives and many more have been named on the ' field of battle, and pestilence has taken a large toll of our population, yet said it all we have been hap pily freed from the terrible suffer-' ing and disaster that have came to millions across the waters. Hence in this irlad . hour to dis play anrthing other than a true christian, submissive spirit would show us grievously . wanting in our sense of obligation to the Divine Hand and woefully lack ing in that spirit which alone will enable us to go forward to greater things before u. But again, in tms nour we should remember that our work is not done. The foe on the field of battle has been conquered, but tnere are sun otners tnat we inancial Report cf Witaogtf Co.
