Soldiers From Famous First Division Are in the City on a Recruiting Trip.  The First Division was the first to reach France, the first to engage in battle and the last to return to America.  This week Pulaski county has the honor of entertaining a detachment of these boys who are here on a recruiting trip.  First Lieutenant Kluss is in charge of the boys and they are as fine a looking body of men as you will see anywhere.  A nation wide drive is on now for the regular army - the peace time army.  Opportunities are offered to all men between the ages of 18 and 55 to get both an education and learn a trade.

 It is not all drill and work in the army now.  It is school and recreation.  This special party now in Somerset have a quantity of captured German war material, consisting of machine guns, rifles, artillery fire control instruments and signal equipment.  The party consists of eleven expert men in demonstrating this equipment which is located on the Public Square.  The party leaves here Sunday for Jackson.  The purpose of this party is not only to get recruits but to make the people understand the peace time program of the army.  Most parents see the army only as a fighting machine.  This army in peace times is an institution of learning.  It is a place where every man can get an education from the boy who can not read and write to the college
graduate.  In addition to this, the lowest pay is $30.00 running up to $121.00.  Everything in the way of board, room and clothing furnished.  The 81st Field Artillery Band, of Camp Knox, will arrive Friday to give free concert in connection with some war pictures to be shown at the Christian church tonight and the High School Saturday night.  The band consists of twenty-six pieces.  The pictures were taken by our own Signal Corps and show the 1st Division in training and as the army of occupation in Germany.  First Lieut. J.J. Moody of the 16th Infantry, 1st Division, in addition to the other party is also here with five men.

  She was a woman possessed of a beautiful character and to know her was to love her.  She united with the Methodist Episcopal church in early life and had remained
faithful and consistent member all these years.  She was ever willing and ready to assist those in need, and as long as she was able to get away from
her home, her one though was, where can I help someone who needs my assistance?  In her death, the husband has lost a loving wife and a true
companion, the children a kind and indulgent mother, and the community a true friend.  The family and relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their bereavement.  Mary Elizabeth Simpson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Simpson, was born near Somerset, Ky., June 2, 1871, and departed this life at her home in Tremont, Jan. 22, 1920, aged 48 years, 7 months and 20 days.  She came to Illinois with her parents in 1881.  On March 3, 1892, she was united in marriage to B.L. Greely of Elm Grove township, and to this union three children were born, two sons and one daughter - George, who recently went to California, and Edward and Glenna at home.  She also leaves her aged mother,
Mrs. W.D. Simpson, of this place, and five brothers - F.M. Simpson, of Chicago; E.A. of Lake City, Iowa; William, Charles and John of Groveland; two
sisters - Miss Ida, of Tremont, and Mrs. Ina Naffzinger of Elm Grove.  All the brothers and sisters were present at the funeral services.  It was one of the largest attended funerals ever held in the church, only about one half of those in attendance being able to get inside.  The Eastern Stars, of which the deceased was a member, attended in a body.  The K of L Club, of which the son, George Greely, is president, attended out of respect and to represent him in his absence."
