NUMP.EK 45fhe War is OverThis fact is already known to all our readers but the fact is of such importance that the statement will bear repeating. When the newswas flashed over the wires that’ actual warfare had ceased, the heart of many a mother overflowed with joy and thanksgiving for the delivery of her son from the ravages of the Hun bullets.The war is over, hut it will be many months before the return movement of the boys will commence, and it may be a year or two before all of them will be returned to their homes as they will be needed over there to guard the territory that has been surrendered to the allies and for reconstruction worn. But the danger from hostile bullets is over, and for that reason the separation can be borne with comparative fortitude.But for the mothers whose boys sleep the sleep eternal on the battle fields of Europe the home coming of the boys will be a sad occasion. These mothers are entitled to and should receive every consideration of the people of the community in which they live, and to every material claim they have on the government of the United Slates.Taylor county and New Market were fortunate in losing few men, the total deaths in the county not exceeding a dozen, but Page, Montgomery, Adams and Madison counties have had enormous losses and in these counties there are many hearts bleeding for loved ones lost. But the great good resulting to the whole world from the success of the war ought to b ring consolation to these sorrowing ones.The war is over, praise the Lord, and may none of this generation ever live to see another one.Our Hat is Off
