Column 3 Top of Page Column 3 & 4 ___________________________ Column 3 Southern Railway Washington D. C. June 25 – Four thousand, three hundred and forty – three employees of the Southern Railway System subscribed to the Liberty Loss under the plan outlined by President Fairfax Harrison authorizing payment of subscriptions in twelve equal monthly installments to be deducted from their salaries. Comptroller A. H. Plant, chairman of the committee appointed to handle the subscriptions gives out the following letter written him by Agent John Duff, Dennison, Va, as illustrative of the County in the present crisis. “I herewith attach you application blank for $ 100.00 worth of Liberty Book. I am only receiving $52.00 per month for my services, and am too old to join the army, so I will stint my family some and contribute to the call of my country. I do think that every railroad man should contribute to these bonds that cannot give his services. We cannot allow this German Kultur to come here and wreck our homes as they have done Belgium and France. When these are paid for I will contribute more if needed” John Jones FRANK TILFORD Column 4 Miss Maggie Cherry Fondly Murdered On June 15th the body of Mrs. Maggie Cherry, 27 years of age was found in Barren River just below the city limits of Bowling Green at 1 o’clock ---- -- --- ---.
