In Memory of Little Evdyn
Perkins.
On Wednesday, p.m., July 22,
1014, God in His infinite mercy
saw fit to visit the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Carlton Perkins of Rox
boro and take from their tender
embrace their loving little daugh
ter Evelyn, age 13 months and ?
days. She was only a bud of
promise too pure ai.d sweet for
this world and God took her for
his own glory.
Dear .parents, we know your
hearts and home are sadder with
out you little darling, but God
knows best. Just think of the
sweet little treasure you have in
heaven, she can never come to
you again, -.but oh, what a blessed
promise you have of going to her
if .voir are true and faithful chris
tians. The funeral was conducted by
Rev. J. H. Gordon and her little
body laid :to rest in the home
cemetery tit Mr. A. Shotwell's.

Mr, Euitr: i
Sir, I am a republican in belief,
and did not vote for the prohibi
tion law, neither did I vote
against it, and I am sure I have
not used a half pint of intoxicat
ing liquor in 30 years all put to
gether. So you see 1 am a pro
hibitionist ahead of the law, and I
am sure a majority of the voters
of the state voted for the law and
I believe it to be the best law on
the Statute books if enforced, and
I feel like thanking our good.
Sheriff and Deputy Morris
what they have done in running
down the blockaders and blind
tigers and earnestly hope the good
work wili go on till every one of
them are safely landed where they
ought to be. As there is no priv
iliged class in our county and one
has no more right to violate the
aw than another, and if tLe
ritf-raff of the Republican party
does notviolate the law (and they
seem-to be the ones who are doing
the most of the moonshining and
bootlegging business) we law
abiding voters are 'looking to the
Democratic officers to get them
and give them their medicine
straight, as you have the right to
do in the discharge of your sworn
duties" and you certainly ought to
have -the inclination to set them
right., So please let the good
work go on until every hill and
vally of our good County will be
freed from the demoralizing curse
of strong drink as there is nothing
else in existence that will so quick
ly and effectively demoralize a
section of our County as will a
blockade, bootleg whiskey seller.
So I say to officers of the law, if
you ar looking forward to re
election keep a close watch on the
creeks 'and branches and be on the
look out' all the time and don't
miss tt) look after the Hyco sec
tion sometimes as the signs of the
blind-tiger are frequently seen in
our midst. So be vigilant and
active tor you nave net yet
caught all of them. Taylor Jack
son, R. F. D. Xo. 1, Alton, Va.
First Curing Reported.

Shooting Scrape at Helena.

WAR IS NOW ON
Great Britain Undecided as to
Course She Will Pursue.
The latest news from London is
that Great Britain is expected to j
declare war against Germany with
in the next twenty:four hours.
The London Standard's Berlin
. i i i
correspondent senas a message j
from Boxtel', The Netherlands, j
that two million men have been
called to the colors. Each man has
tens to the appointed place, gives
his registration number and re
ceives his field outfit with the reg
ularity of clock work.
The Standard also publishes a
report that a French aviator, Ron
ald Gerros, rammed mid destroyed
a German airship in mid-air, but
fails to give the source of its story.
It is reported that 20,000 Ger
man troops crossed the French
frontier Sunday morning near
Xancy. They encountered French
forces and were repulsed with
heavy losses. The news . has not
been confirmed up to the pres
ent time.
Apparently the German army is
duplicating the first movement of
the Franco-Prussian War. It was
on August 2, 1870, 44 years ago
Sunday, that the French and Ger
mans clashed in the first Rattle of
that war at Saarbucken, where the
Prince Imperial under the orders
of the Emperor received his fam
ous ''baptism of fire."
It would appear that Germany
is taking the fullest possible advan
tage of her supposed superiority
in rapid mobilization over France.
The plan of the German Emper
or, according to military observers,
is to vanquish or attempt to van
suish France in the interval be
fore Russia can create serious
trouble on her Northern frontier.
It is supposed Russian mobiliza
tion will take about three weeks.
The French Embassy Sunday
issued the following statement:
"French territory has been in
vaded at Cirey and German troops
are marching on the fort at Cirey
without a declaration of war. "The
German Ambassador is in France. "
The French Embassy claims
that France is not the agressor.
A Russian column of artillery
has crossed the German frontier
at Schwinden, Southeast of Biallo.
Two squadrons of Russian Cos
sacks are riding in the direction
of Johannesburg, in East Prussia, !
15 miles from the frontier.
An official statement from Ber
lin says: !
"In consequence of a Russian
attack on German territory, Ger
many is in a state of war with Rus
sia. The French reply to the Ger
man representations is of an un
satisfactory character.
"Moreover, France has mobil
ized and an attack of war with
France therefore must be reckond-
ed with at any moment."
Four great powers of Europe,
Austria-Hungary, Russia, France
and Germany, are engaged in ac
tual warfare . Two of them, Ger-
Jmany and France, have not openly
declared war against each other,
as far as is known, and have not
even severed diplomatic relations.
This is despite the fact that Ger
many's ultimatum to France, eith
er has been ignored or rejected.
France, according to British
opinion, has the strongest justifi
cation. She was the last to mobil
ize and seems to have taken the
greatest precautions to avoid fron
tier collisions.
On the other hand Germany, in
addition to invading French terri
tory without making a formal dec
laration of war, has violated the
Ufv nf LiiYemhurff and de-
tion the British government is tak
ing all necessary steps to meet a
situation unprecedented in the na
tion's hisjfcory.
Lord Chas. Beresford has issued
a letter calling upon his country
"to pay adebtof honor to France. '
He declares Great Britain would
forever be disgraced in the eyes of
Europe if she failed.
London remains extraordinarily
calm. Such scenes of enthusiasm
as were witnessed at the time of
the Boer war have been almost
lacking.
Germany on Saturday declared
war against Russia.
Warring Nations Recall Citizens.
Strenuous eff orts being made by
Austria and by Servia to recall
from the United States for milita
ry service the thousands of their
citizens employed in American
factories have attracted official
attention and the question has
been raised whether such activities
are violating the neutrality laws.
War Based on These Five De
mands and Answers.
1. 'Servian officers and officials,
who had a part in the murder of
the Archduke and his consort must
be at once arrested and prosecuted.
2. The King of Servia must
publish an order of the day in the
official military organ expressing
regret at the participation of Ser
vian officers and officials in the
bloody deed of Serajovo, and an
nouncing stringent prosecution of
any who may be found guilty of
fomenting anti-Austrian . senti
ment. V:
Servia. must: at once organs
ize an official investigation of the
Serajova murders, in which Aus
trian representatives will be per
mitted to participate.
4. All anti-Austrian societies
must be disbanded, anti-Austrian
teachers must be dismissed and
anti-Austrian propaganda must be
suppressed wherever it may ap
pear. 5. Servia must apologize for
or explain anti-Austrian utterances
of some of .her high officials.
, Servia's Answer.
1. Servia promises to dismiss
from the army and navy officers
and remove civilian officials whose
participation in an anti-Austrian

propaganda may be proved.
2. Servia agrees to the publi
cation in its official journal, in the
front page, of the formal declara
tion submitted by the Austrian
government.
3.. Servia. will organize an in-
! vestigation, but protests against
Austria officials taking any part
in the inquiry.
4. Servia promises to dissolve
those societies which may be con
sidered capable of conducting in
trigues against Austria; it will re
vise the laws governing the press
and condemns all propaganda di
rected against Austria-Hungary,
o. Servia regrets that certain
Servian officers and officials, ac
cording to the Austrian communi
cation, have participated in prop
aganda directed against Austria
Hungary. The government disap
proves of and repudiates any at
tempt to interfere with the destin
ies of the inhabitants of any part
of Austria-Hungary.
