FRANK w. HUFFMAN

On the morning of Thursday, Sept.
End, our hearts were saddened when
the news spread at Sparr that Frank
huffman had passed away. Frank
was the second son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Luffman of Sparr. He was
born Oct. 7th, 1890. Mr.. Luffman was
married to Miss Hazel Hunt of Dem
crest, Ga, June 2, 1914. Frank Luff-
man was young man of great prom
ise. After he had completed his
studies in the public school at Sparr
he attended school at Sutherland for
crest, Ga, graduating from the
academy in three years. He then
took course in college and would
have graduated with high honors this
year if his health had not failed.
Frank Luffman was a noble Chris
tian young man. He united with the
Methodist church when a very small
boy and proved a consistent member.
His life shows a steady development
of true Christian character. Frank
fact to know him was to love him.
We can't understand why so promis-
ing a young man and one whose life
was so helpful should be called away
in the bloom of life. But we do know
that our Heavenly Father makes no
mistakes and that he does all things
for the best and that all things work
together for good to those that love
the Lord. Franks whole life was
full of sunshine and happiness and
the last few days of his life. He said
he had loved his Savior for a number
of years but loved him better now
than ever. He told his precious young
wife just few days before the end
came that he loved her dearly but he
loved Jesus better. Jesus, the great
teacher, said l go to prepare a place
for you and if go and prepare a
place for you l will come again and
receive you unto myself; that where
| am there ye may be also.
Frank leaves to mourn his death a
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Luffman of Sparr, and two
brothers, E. W. and C. H Luffman,
besides other relatives and multi
tude of friends. The funeral services
were held at the Methodist church at
Sparr Friday at l p. m. The service
was conducted by the pastor, Rev.
Outland, assisted by the Baptist pas
tor, Rev. N. B. Plummer of Anthony
The remains were inferred in the An
thony cemetery. His precious young

wife, who was so faithful to him dur
ing his illness, returned to Demorest
with her father.
May the Lord heal the broken
hearts of the distressed relatives and
help them to say thy will be done.
The Lord gave and the Lord hath
taken away, blessed be the name of
the Lord. Though Frank has been
called away may they realize that
the great shepherd leadeth and it is
well. May they realize that the Lord
is our refuge and strength.
There is a vacant place in the little
Sunday school,
Where once he kept the golden rule
And where he tried from day to day
To do his best while on life's way.
In the great and glorious Sabbath
school rank,
The place once filled by him is blank;
A vacancy is made in the old church
aisle,
Where once he walked and sweetly
smiled.
He has left this world of toll and
care
To live with the angels pure and fair,
And rally around the Fathers throne
With other loved ones who have gone.
The numberless friends that here he
had
Are left behind, grief stricken and
sad.
Though our loss is mingled with pain,
Yet it is his eternal gain.
We miss his sunny, smiling face,
His manly walk so full of grace,
But happy thought to US is given
That he is now at rest in heaven.
May his loved ones left behind
Sweet peace and comfort ever find,
In that one and glorious thought
That Frank with Jesus blood was
bought.
And now may each and every one
Prepare to go where he has gone,
To that blessed home that's built
above,
Where all is purity, peace and love.
May we walk the way that's narrow
and straight,
And meet Frank at the pearly gate
In that bright city that's made of
gold,
Whose riches and happiness are un-
told. j. N. s.

Many a man has started forth from
his home with a song on his lips, and
a feeling of general goodwill to the
world in his heart and has not enter
ed the home again until, weeks after,
he was carried over the threshold an
inanimate lump of clay, dead by the
hands of justice, because he had
broken the primal law of civilization
that declares "Thou shalt not KILL" or
rather primarily, because he had got
ten into the habit of toting his artil-
lery around with him in his hip
pocket.-St. Augustine Record.
Not in Florida, he hasn't. Perhaps
he has re-entered his home after
paying a lawyer all he had to defeat
justice, but he was never brought
back with broken neck-unless he
was a negro.

President Wilson, all things con-
sidered, is the hardest-worked work
ingman in the United States today
and it is difficult to understand how
he gets any sleep when we consider
the tremendous weight of anxiety
and responsibility he taken to bed
with him every night. A mighty ma
ton is poised on the perilous edge of
the abyss of war, and one small flaw
in the fine mechanism of Woodrow
Wilson's intellect, one slip in a cog,
one false move in the greatest and
most dangerous and difficult game of
diplomacy ever played by this govern
ment with another, and the country
may go over the edge and crash down
amid the other nations wallowing and
weltering in the bloody horrors Of
wholesale human butchery. Every
praying man and woman in America
should beseech the Almighty to guide
and strengthen the lonely and devoted
man at the head of the republic to the
end that he may bring his country
with honor and safety through the
perils that threaten it from a world
gone mad.-Lakeland Telegram.
Very true, Uncle Joe. Also, the
American people should remember
that if President Wilson hasn't been
as stiff in demanding their rights, or
in backing up protests as most of
them would like, it has been their
fault, not his. They have given him
practically nothing but "mora1 effect
to work with. He has done mighty
well with the materials at his hands.

1t being extensively reported around
town that Charlie Hunter, the Ocala
Stallings, would be a candidate for
mayor, a Star reporter interrogated
him on the subject. Mr.. Hunter said,
"Not yet" but on being reminded
that election was three months off,
said that he was abused for so many
things that he might as well be abus-
ed for few more. Which was con-
fession, a concession or a depression
according to the way one looks at it.

"It is true that if I lived in Willis
ton | would be for Bloxham county"
Mr.. Benjamin in Ocala Star.
At last Mr.. Benjamin acknowl-
edges that truth is mighty and must
prevail.-Williston Advocate.
What the Star said was this: cit is
true that if we lived in Williston, we
would be for Bloxham. Williston is
for Bloxham, and Bloxham is for
Williston-for Williston's benefit"
Which is very different But then
nobody need wonder at the Courier
not getting anything straight. 1t is
crooked enough to hide behind a cork
screw.
The Courier goes on to say:
"And now if he will acknowledge
that all he has published in his paper
against the creation of Bloxham
county was bought and paid for at so
much per foot, his conscience, if he
has one, would experience a relief
beyong imagination"
We are not surprised that Mr..
Stafford cannot comprehend news
paper doing anything it isn't paid for
doing. A CRATER can't help thinking
everybody else is as mercenary as
himself.

It is likely that an attempt will be
made when the next legislature meets
to have the law against newspapers
exchanging space for transportation
repealed. 1t will be very much to the
disadvantage of the railroads, the
newspapers and the people to revive
the old pass system. A newspaper
which can obtain passes for all the
members of its staff and their fam
lilies for greatly disproportionate
quantity of advertising space is going
to be mighty tender about criticising
the railroads whenever they impose on
the people. And such policy would
crowd the railroad cars with dead
heads, like they were in Florida
twenty years ago, when some news
paper men fairly lived on the trains.
If law was passed allowing the
railroads to pay for advertising space
in the newspapers with mileage at
regular rates on both sides, and re-
quiring contracts to be made, so that
some little railroad official couldn't
try to punish a newspaper for a crit
icism, the arrangements would work
very well.

Sunday lawbreakers are being ar
rested in Orlando, as a result of the
crusade started there, some weeks
ago. The manager of the telephone
system was one of the first victims
of the crusade, presumably because
he permitted his exchange to respond
to the calls of customers on Sunday.
Miami Herald.
Surely, this must be mistake. 1t
isn't possible that Orlando Sunday
ties are so bigoted as to try to keep
people from using their telephones
on Sunday.

Rev. John r. Herndon, who since
1907 has been associate editor of the
Christian Observer, retires from that
position in view of his acceptance of

1908, Mr.. Herndon devoted his entire

Of the Presbyterian church at Cleve-

GERMANS BLAME BRITISH
FOR AMERICANS DEATH

WASHINGTON. April g. - Count Won
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, to-
day received from Berlin an official
message expressing the opinion of the
German Government that the responsible
ity for the death of an American citizen
at the sinking of the liner Falaba by a
German submarine must rest with the
British Government
The message Is prefaced by the state
ment that report from the submarine
has not yet been received at Berlin.
However according to trustworthy re-
ports" says the Berlin Foreign Office,
the submarine requested the steamer
Falaba to put passengers and crew into
lifeboats when other ships came up
Lately English merchant ships have been
provided with guns because the British
Government had advised them to ram or
otherwise attack German submarines.
This advice has been repeatedly followed
In order to win promised reward. Mill
tnry necessity consequently forced the
submarine to act quickly which made the
granting of longer space of time and
made the saving of lives impossible"

BULGARIA DISCLAIMS

SOFIA, Bulgaria, April 5.


Bulgaria officially repudiated RESPONSE
bility for the raids made upon Servian
citizens, declaring they had been carried
out by Turkish revolutions without the
knowledge of the Bulgarian Government
King Ferdinand's Government lost no
time answering the Servian note and for
warded the following official version of
what really took place:
1.-THE regrettsble frontier incidents were
due entirely to a revolt of the Turkish
inhabitants OF Doran, Macedonian Greece,
and Valandovo, Macedonian servia. Turk
ish revolutionists in large numbers at
tackled the Servian police and burned sew
eral servian frontier posts. Then they
forced a passage into Bulgarian terri

The Bulgarian Governments reply to
Servia leaves little doubt as to the ma
tion's policy. 1t doesn't desire war
against Greece and Serva, but stands for
continued neutrality, according to all the
signs.
