Monday the court house was
crowded to capacity by people from
all oyer Erath comity who gathered
to listen to patriotic addresses from
Judge W. J. Oxford, Prentiss Young
Win, Arch Jones, and others.
It had been arranged for Hon. J.
E. Hickman and Hon. Win. Pannill
to speak, hut these gentlemen
were detained at Dublin on busi-
ness, and the crowd was a heavy
loser thereby, as both men have giv
en much thought to.the great prob-
lems which now confront the peo-
ple of the United States, and
which are likely lo imperil our ex-
isfeiiee as a free country with con-
stitutional rights. However, with
the curtailment of the speaking
force there was much evidence of
patriotism. Alter Judges Oxford and
Young had dwell at some, length on
the liberty bond issue, and urged
the people to subscribe liberally for
the issue so that there would be
ample money to equip and feed our
fighting army at the front, and
