A CALL TO THE SOUTH.
To Give Out of its Abundance
to the Suffering West.
The appalling disaster in the
V- calls for immediate help. It
is difficult to estimate the suffer
er and sickness which will fol
low the wide sweep of rushing
waters. Far greater, apparently,
n the mj,!iiitude of the loss and
Immensely greater in ihe extent
o: liirluenoeis this disaster than
the earthquake in San Francisco.
It is apparently unparelled
in the history of this 'coun
try. At a time when so large
a portion of the West has been
swept by rain and storm, costing
thousands of lives and hundreds
of millions of dollars, with losses)
which cannot be , counted to the
full extent for months to come, it
behooves the South, abundantly
and marvelously blessed as it has
been with abounding prosperity,
to give freely and with largeness
of spirit, and to give quickly.
The Manufacturers Record
would sti ongly urge that in every
community throughout the South
an active campaign be immediate
ly inaugurated for raising contri
butions for the sufferers in the
West. Humanity demands it, and
gratitude to the Giver of every
good and perfect gift should
make the South respond quickly
and largely to the call for ' help
which has been yc-iced by Presi
dent Wilson in his appeal to the
country.

I Mrs. Mary Sergeant
Mrs. Mav ' Newell Sergeant
was born Sept. 28th, 1881 - andebntribution to our: journalistic
died March 29th H13. ...;
On April 4th 1906, she was
married to W, A: Sergeant. To
this union was born one child,
Henry Jewell Sergeant who with
his father ; survives.
She professed faith in Christ
and joined the Methodist church
when about ten years old and re
mained a faithful member of the
church till death. For several
at times suffered greatly. She
bore it patiently however and
was never heard to complain at
her lot. In the midst of extreme
suffering she was cheerful and
seemed to be happy, x I have
never s:en a more beautiful il
lustration of calm resignation to
the will of God than she sho wed
throughout all her sickness. It
was always an inspiration to see
her; One could not be gloomy or
despondent in her presence. Her
life was a beautiful illustration of
what God's grace can enable one
to endure and suffer and still be
happy. Her faith in God and His
goodness enabled her to triumph
through it all. Her life was one
in which self was forgotton in
her thought for others.
She was devoted to her home
and family and made the home a
home of sunshine.
She was a benediction to all
who knew her and she will befine.funtry. Especially Nebras-
missed by a host of friends and 9 It!1?01

VvFhe best and most practical
literature that 1 have read .iira
decade, is that of Mr. Bryant the
Washington correspondent of the
Nejiws and Observer in his inter
view with Vice President Mar
shall and his splendid wife.
They went into their family re
lation and said that they had been
married for 18 years and during
all that time they had never been
separated for one day. If Mr.
Marshall had to go on a journey
she always went wiuY him. If
she was called to go from home: ub
any time he was always her com
panion. ISIow this is surely 4 something
remarkable and greatly to be
commended in married oeople.
If all these restless dissatisfied
couples could ta ke t nl s s plen di d
example of the Marshalls and try
to Jive up to it, wet would hear no
more' of suites for divorce but
they would be unknown in our
land any more. The Vice-Presi-dentwas
offered a mission last
year by President Tift to one of
our South American States for a
few months and becausehe could
not secure a birth for himself
and wife on the vessel he refused
the position.
Our Western people are in the
midstrpf great suffering and dis
tress on account of the tornado
which has lately devastated that
ferin2 ver? much with tarming
ooerattons in our section and 'it
will cause a late crop I fear in
our part of the state.

Mrs. Wilson has xabooed wine

Following the elimination of the
Inaugural Ball at the Presidents
request, this is greatly pleasing to
all our people.
We regret to say that Mrs.
Mary Sydnor mother of Mrs.
Robert Bass doesnjt seem to im-
prove, but is still confined to her
room and bed, she is a very old
kdy.
Mrs. Nelson one of our nearest
best neighbors is also at present
afflicted with chills and fevers, it
is hoped she will soon be - up
