Show THE DIXIE OWl MODERN HEROES At this time of the worlds history, our thoughts naturally turn to the heroes of our country; from the time of the Revolution, with Washington as the central figure; through the struggles of the Civil War with the martyred Lincoln compelling our sincere admiration. They will al ways be honored as long as time lasts. We no longer have to turn to the past to honor the heroes of our country.

They are: David L. McNiel, Moroni Kleinman, Daniel Lester Iveate, Wallace Gray, Heber Langston, Cleon J. Reber, Sterling Russell, and George Felter. They have given their livs and wrill always be remembered with gratitude as martyrs, for the noble sacrifice of their lives. The fate of Alton Hiatt, who was reported missing, is still unknown. Then several of our county boys have been severely wounded, among them Israel Abbott, still in a hospital, Moroni Bigelow, George Dodge, John T.
