Poem reflecting on World War I's devastation from Louvain to Belgium and Europe. It laments Kaiser Wilhelm II and German aggression, praises Atlantic guardianship, and calls for divine justice and lasting peace. The piece closes with a prayer for peace and remembrance.
A derisive piece notes a self styled Bull Mooges convention nominating James B. Cox for congress after decades of party switching. It mocks Cox as an office seeker and predicts his political fate post November. The column also reports local deaths and illnesses, including Mrs. Kepling and Mrs. Miller, plus community concerns and farm activity.
The Dundée Woolen Mills open a branch tailoring store at 243 Main St in our city led by S. M. Lorig and L. B. Weiss.

Also listed is the annual reunion of the 13th Tennessee Cavalry at Laurel in Johnson County, September 17-18, with past attendance of 150–200.
