Mrs. Florence Saunders Jeter died at her home in Butler, Mo., Monday night, May 21, 1917, and was buried in that city on the following day. Deceased was the daughter of the late James H. Saunders, and a sister to the late Zabe Saunders of this city. She was born in the county near Fay- ette and spent her girlhood here. where she married N, B. Jeter. They have lived in Butler about 45 years. She leaves a husband and one son, Frank. Two younger sons both died years ago. Deceased was born in 1849. Nick Jeter and his wife are remem- bered by many of the older citizens of Fayette, who .will learn with deep regret of the passing of. this good woman, ; It is with a sad heart that we chorn- ilee the passing of “Cousin Florence.” Her death causes our mind to go gal- loping back to our boyhood days. And in looking back through the memory mists of the yesteryears it seems but a little while since she gave us a home in family circle until we had sufficiently advanced in our trade as a printer to provide for our- self—in the office of the old Bates County Democrat. Be it said that unkind word from her lips. When death laid his icy hand on the pulse of “Cousin Florence,” stilling her heart forev- er and aye, he chose for his target as sweet and lovely a character as ever with the sunshine of her presence. We loved her in life; we cherish her memory now that she has gone to her reward. The graciousness of her life will sweeten our memory until we “cross the River with the boat- men pale” to meet her on the Other Shore.—Henry T. Burckhartt in Fay- ette Democrat-Leader. Flag Raising. The flag raising - ceremony which was postponed several times on ac- count of inclement weather condi- tions was held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock when the big flag was slowly hoisted to the peak of the corner of the court house yard. While the Butler Concert Band played the inspiring ‘strains of the na- tional air, “The Star Spangled Ban- ner,” Captain George L. Caruthers slowly raised the flag, a: crowd of several hundred standing uncovered during the ceremony. *.

Heinke and family spent of rules prepared by the distin- guished committee of civilians called together by President Wilson and working on the exemption features with the provost marshal general, The conference with the higher and responsible officials, it was learned today, has resulted in approval of the two major points. The two questions of exemptions of men with dependents and those needed in industrial work at home have proved the most difficult to work out in a way to secure anything like even handed justice in operation. he difficulty, it is stated, of determ- ining whether or not a married man was actually needed to support his family at home was the considera- tion that finally determined the of- ficials to exempt all married men. As-to the men with other depend- ent relatives, such n aged moth- er or father, the decision will be up to the local county or city board with final decision, in case of appeal, rest- ing with a district federal board. Ap- peal from the district board may i turn be made to President Wilson. The question of industrial exemp-} tions, officials stated, was found to be even” more difficult.

Enlistment in the national guard since the lid has been taken’ off re- eruiting up to war strength has shown a loss rather than an increase in the guard total in the last ten days. This largely has ben due to married men being let out of guard regiments and to the loss of 3,033 men and officers in Ohio regiments where there was a_ reorganization. In most states, guardsmen with de- pendents have all been dropped so that a steady gain can now be ex- pected. The national quaed in federal ser- vice now totals 3,184 officers and 68,- 566. men,_or only one-third of the present guard strength. |GERMANS EXECUTE 2 WOMEN Mother-and Daughter Siot to Death ‘on Swiss Frontier as Spies.

The Fifth Regiment is about re- cruited up now and the Sixth is in process of formation. Any locality can.form a company if one hundred enlistments are secured. . The state will pay rent on an armory for each company and supply all equipment. The idea is that enlistments in the national guard will close after regis- tration. Some of the companies in the old regiments are short of their full strength, and it is expected that all of them will recruit up to the re- quirements.
