The passing of Thomas D.
Martin, on the 26th OF Octber, 1870
at the home OF his daughter, Mrs
Florence Martin Morris, IN Full
ton, KY, closes the earthly
career of the children Of William
and Sarah Martin, with the excep-
ton Of an only daughter, Mrs.
Virginia Martin Gardner, who
still remains with US, shedding
the fragrance Of a goodly life on all
about her. Thos. D. Martin was
the eldest of the four brothers
living at the close of the civil war,
and what is rather an unusual
occurrence, all living to be grown
men. The end came to them In the
order OF their birth, only that 1t
began with the youngest and pro-
ceeded in regular order until the
first born, the subject Of this
sketch, was called.
Brother Martin was born in
Weakley county on the 9th day
Of April, 1885; was happily married
to Miss Cornelia Collier Of Weakley
county in 1868. The departure of
sister Martin to the heavenly
home occurred on the 18th OF July,
last, leaving her husband, Brother
Martin, quite enfeebled by the
severe shock that so suddenly
came to him, which, together with
the bodily Affections from which
he suffered for several weeks pre-
ceeding her translation, led his
neighbors and friends to fear that
he would not be able to bear up
under the trials. But to the sur
prise Of all, he rallied, and dividing
his sojourn between his daughters
home in Fulton and his home in
Martin he was enabled to attend
to such business matters as re-
NAMED on his hands to be looked
after. But the final end came to
him as it will to all.
Let US feel assured that it found
him ready. On Tuesday evening,
one week before his outgoing,
coming into the room where the
family was assembled, he, as bis
custom was, conducted family
devotion, and SO feeble was he thai
he had to be assisted form hi;

PERCHERONS IN FAVOR
Best Adapted to Demands of
User Of Draft-HOrse.
They Do Well in Cotton Fields Of South
and Wheat Fields Of Canada
Stand Hard Work Better Than
Any other Breed.
(By e. 2. HENDERSON,


The Percheron has proved himself
to be the breed most adapted to the
demands of the user Of the draft-horse,
in all sections of the country.
They do well on the cotton fields OF
the South and in the wheat fields Of
Canada. They are popular in the East
and in the West. On the farm they
are the farmers mainstay.
In the city they are able to with1
stand the hard work better than any
other breed, witness the fact that
dealers often pay as much as $40, I'M
the hundred, for horses bearing that
indelible, Percheron color, gray, more,
than for horses of similar quality but
lacking that trademark.
The demand of today is for horse
that can stand the strain Of long
hours, pulling heavy loads over all
kinds of roads, for horse that is
prompt and yet quiet, one that can
move the heaviest of loads and yet
when the occasion demands it, can get
up and go. The Percheron seems tol
.be the one horse that can fully I'LL
these requirements.
n A thing that is much desired by the
corn-belt farmer is economy of main
tenance. The horse to be desired Is
not only one that can do large days
work, but one that will. do it on a.
minimum Of feed. A case in points:
We have in one of our teams a pure
bred Percheron mare Of 1900 pounds
Her team mate, carrying a large
percentage of the blood of another pop
ular breed, weighs about the same. I
These two mares do exactly the
same work, have the same attention,
and yet the grade mare eats 20 per
cent more feed daily than does the
purebred Percheron. Even then she
is not in the, condition of her mate.
While the Percheron is smooth, and
in fine condition, the other is thin and,
to the eye, unlovely.

valued traditions while giving sane
ton to the established use of roads
that have been traversed century or
more, says Baltimore American, There
is a strong movement the country
over for the honoring of the old roads
and trails This Is manifest in the
movement that contemplates memo
rial highway to Abraham Lincoln. The
Old National Turnpike has clustering
about it traditions of history that
have been transformed into literary
lore under the magic pens of essay
lists and poets. In the far West agl-
tation for the preservation Of the old
trails is gaining in strength, and the
Old Oregon, and the Old Whiskey and
other historic trails that date back to
times immemorial will doubtless be
preserved as far as possible and,
where obliterated by the path Of prog
ress, will be marked. Thus the trails
followed by the red men from Canada
even down to Central America will in
time be made matters of record and
reverence.
While sentimental and practical
considerations may not always be en-
braced in the conclusions Of the good
roads commission, yet these should
be and doubtless are considered to-
gether in so far as the commission has
enlightenment and understands the
sentiment of the communities af-
fected. But the main proposition is
that the people Of Maryland are a unit
for the continuance Of the good roads
movement. Baltimore has been great
" advantaged by the construction OF
paved streets from the country line,
over roads that enter the city. 1t
has deep interest in the prosecution
of the good roads work for the bene-
fit of the agricultural communities OF
the entire state. The traffic and trans
portatfon advantages are immense.
while the state is thereby elevated IN
the view of the country at large. Lei
the good roads work so on.

that loving hearts, and willing

through all the years OF their

have been accustomed through all
these years to observe the presence
Of Brother Martin in the sanctuary

Brother Martin, in early life, pro-
fessed faith IN Christ as person

ever clear to his mind through all
the years that followed. When
opportunity was offered he never
failed to bear testimony TO this ex-
perience. He joined the Methodist
church in his early christian man.

moving to Martin, when, for
reasons that seemed satisfactory to
himself, he withdrew by letter,
and never presented his letter for

He loved to attend upon the
preaching Of the word and enjoyed
it very much. During his early
christian life he presented himself
for recommendation for liscense 10

and was duly liscensed. For some
time he exhorted in a public way,
and as he told the writer a short
time ago, it was his intention to
have completed his education in
some good theological college. He
went with the presiding elder
around on his district, doing such
work as opportunity offered. This
he found a means Of grace. The

matters pressing on him, finally

No odds how bad your liver, stom'

aches, how miserable you are from
constipation. Indigestion, biliousness
and sluggish Gowels--you always get
relief with Cascarets. They imme-
dlately cleanse and regulate the stom-
ach, remove the sour, fermenting food
and foul gases; take the excess bile
from the liver and carry off the con-
stipated waste matter and poison
from the intestines and bowels. A

keep your liver and bowels clean;
stomach sweet and head clear for
months. They work while you sleep.

Something to Think About.

A correspondent from Missis-
sippi to the Commercial Appeal
suggests that the fact that the
possibility of cotton going to fifteen
cents should not deceive the grower
into believing that the close OF the
great European war sustain this
price and possibly improve it..
This correspondent suggests the
idea that those engaged in the war
are straining every resource to
supply food and clothing and that
when the war closes they will be
exhausted and ability to buy will
be limited, necessitating a curtail-
ment of expenditures, the chances
under these conditions are that it
will be rather the clothing than
the demand for food that will feel
the effect OF the reaction.
This idea is something for the
cotton raiser to think about. 1t
is reasonable theory and the cotton
Kaiser should continue to diversity
II he don't want to find himself in
the attitude Of aiding in depressing
the price Of cotton and at the same
time be compelled to buy his food
in competition with the hungry
hordes Of Europe.

Only a small per cent of the farm,

Not only is Constantine present at

allies campaign in the Balkans, but
there are disquieting reports OF a
Graeco- Bulgar agreement together with
possibility that Rumania will join the
central powers.
In these circumstances officials are
not inclined to temporize. Delay and
uncertainty are merely hindering the
Balkan operations and, If Greece re.

Fighting Is nesnerate.

Athens, Nov. 49, Allied troops
bravely tried today to distract the
Bulgars from the Serbian campaign
where they are sweeping everything
before them.
The French hurled strong groups
against the Bulgars on the Vardar
river. Already they have been some
what successful, but is feared here
that they are not numerous enough to
follow up their advantage. They have
repeatedly requested that reinforce
ments be sent them. Numerous forces
were reported to be at salonika, but
the problem of getting them to the
scene of the fighting in time makes
the situation dubious.
The Vardar river contest is raging
desperately. The Bulgars have been
driven across the stream by French
artillery which more than offset the
question Of numbers.
Meantime, the British are still ham.
mering at Strumnitza in stubborn
battle.
While these struggles remain in
doubt, Serb refugees are streaming
over the Grecian boundary.
Throughout Serbia, their forces are
hard pressed. The central powers and
the Bulgars are sweeping the defend
ers rapidly out, and capturing them in
fresh thousands daily.

SIX MORE BODIES
TAKEN FROM MINE
Sixteen Bodies Recovered So
Far, Fifteen Are Still
Entombed

Ravensdale, Wash, Nov. 19.-Six
more bodies were recovered during last
night from the third level of the North
western improvement company's mine.
This brings the total number Of bodies
recovered to 16, with Is still entombed.
All hope that any of the men still in
the mine following Tuesdays explosion
would be found alive, was definitely
abandoned yesterday.
Gangs of men working in shifts of
six hours pounded steadily at the twist
ed mass of timbering and coal and dirt
still blocking the entrance to the tnird
level, and during the night succeeded in
penetrating the corridor.
1t was expected that all bodies would
be recovered before night.
The bodies recovered last night were
those of Pat Dowd, Thomas Speck, Joe
and an Italian whose identity was not
learned. The body recovered yesterday
has not been identified.
The first of the mine victims fnner-
ais were neld yesterday and will con-
tinue as rapidly as bodies are brought
up.
Rising water in the mine threatened
to block rescue work for a time yester-
day, but the pumps were repaired and
started.
With at least $4,000 to be paid in
pensions by the state industrial insur-
ance commission as result Of the ex-
plosion, there is only $S,613 to the
credit of the Northwestern Improve
ment company in the accident fund. A
levy probably will be made on other
mines, to be paid back gradually.
