The Treasury Department is soon to send out over the country the greatest war picture, “The Price of Peace” and is an assembling of the most thrilling of the thousands of feet of film taken by official photographers of the war college who followed the Yank from his home to the front and back again. The film will be released only through Liberty Loan committees and will be shown free.
In Memoriam: On Saturday night, April 5th, the death angle visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dock L. Grant, and took their darling little daughter Sadie Maud home to rest where partings are unknown. She was four months, twenty days old. Though she was sick only a short time, all that loving hands could do was done, but the soul had taken its flight before medical attention could be given. The funeral took place at Salem church Sunday. May the flowers bloom gently and the birds sing sweetly over her grave.

Mr. John Bagwell who lives a few miles east of Ackerman, found a Torpedo Cap in a keg of nails a few days ago, and not knowing what it was, he struck it with a hatchet and as a result it exploded, cutting off the thumb, one other ger and badly lacerating the other fingers on his left hand, besides a piece of the shell stuck him in the throat, cutting one of the veins and he came very near bleeding to death. He is about to be out again, however, and is getting along splendidly.
