Miss Frances H. Thomason.

At Sewanee, Tenn, June 21st,
Miss Frances H. Thomason en-
tered into eternal rest.
Miss Frances H. Thomason
was the youngest daughter of
the late J. N. Thomason, and is
survived by her mother, three
sisters, Mrs. L. C. Hudson, of
Sioux City, Iowa; Mrs. Phillip
Erwin, of this city and Mrs. H.
L. Bruce, of this city; and three
brothers, C. H. Thomason, of
Pauls Valley, Okla. Jasper N.
Thomason, of Osceola, Ark. ; and
J. R. Thomason, of this city.
Her health was always deli
cate, death resulting from infam-
nation of the stomach, caused
by typhoid fever which she had
several years ago.
The passing of this young life
will be regretted by her many
friends both here and abroad,
where she spent a year in travel
ing, which seemed to benefit her
greatly until a few weeks ago.
She was modest and retiring in
her disposition, without guile,
being loved most by those who
knew her best.
The sweet service from the
University Chapel, among sor-
rowing friends, was conducted
by the Reverends Charles Wright
and Arthur Howard Nall, D. D.,
assisted by the vested choir,
whom with much feeling render
ed the musical part of tn e
Church's burial service.
She was laid to rest in the
peaceful cemetery at Sewanee,
where she and her mother had
decided to make their permanent
home.

Good roads enthusiasm is at
its highest pitch in Paris and
Henry county, now that Graves
county, KY, is building its link
in the MISUNDERSTANDING high

southeast boundary. Henry
county will have to arrange for
the building of a thirty-fve mile
stretcn to complete the chain.

Judge Thetus W. Sims, con-
gressman from the Eigntll Dis
trict of Tennessee, said Monday
while in Jackson that President
Wilson is 100000 votes ahead
of the Democratic party. He
believes there is no doubt about
Wilson's denomination and be-
lieves there will be little oppo-
sition from the Republicans,
many of whom are we'll pleased
with the way the president has
handled the Mexican and Euro

MISS IDA HILL
PAINFULLY HURT
Struck by Street Car While Visiting
in Nashville. mo Bones
Broken.

On Tuesday morning Mr.. and
and Mrs. Geo. Hill, of East Wood
street, were notified that on
Monday evening their daughter,
Miss Ida, was knocked down by
a street car in Nashville and very
painfully hurt, but the extent of
her injuries, while severe, were
not known.
The young lady, who is is
years of age, was on a visit to
the family of her uncle, Jas.
Biles, 1105 Porter Road, Nash
vile, when the accident occurred,
having been there about ten
days and was to have returned
home Friday.
Mr.. Hill went to Nashville
Tuesday to be at the bedside of
his daughter.
A late message from Nash
vile states that the doctors did
not think Miss Hill was internal
ly injured and that no bones
were broken, although she is con-
siderably bruised.
No warning was given that
the car was approaching, and
had this been done the accident
would no doubt have been
avoided,

Puryear On The Map.

We wish to call special atten-
tion to the communication this
week from our Puryear cores
pondent which is pretty good
evidence that Puryear is still on
the map and that the people of
that place are not asleep by any
means.
This communication gives the
news of that place in general
and in as complete form as
newspaper in that place would
give it. Our representative al
that place possesses a talent for
this kind of work that is not
often found and the people OF
that community as we'll as The
Partisan are indeed fortunate in
having such a person to report
the happenings of their thriving
little city as we'll as having her
as one of them.
We appreciate the efforts Of
Mrs. Douglas along this line and
we trust that her neighbors will
give her every assistance in re,
porting the news from that
place.

RURAL CREDITS IN
: STATE OF TENNESSEE
Interest is Being Shown By
People From All Parts
Of Tennessee.

The farmer now has a chance
The long looked for financial re.
lief for the farmers of Tennessee
| is here at last, and the Paris Busi-
ness Mems Club through the
efforts of Secretary Daniel gets
credit for the biggest move ever
pulled off by a secretary of a bus
mess organization. The Kentucky
Rural Credit Association has linked
Tennessee with Kentucky under
an equal rights contract and ap-
pointed Secretary Daniel of the
Paris B. M. C.. general manager
of Rural Credits in Tennessee.
All parts of the state now look
towards Paris and her Business
Mems Club.
For the first time in the history
of Tennessee, the farmer may Sc
cure long time loans at very low
rate of interest. As general man.
ager it is Mr.. Daniels duty to
appoint chairman in every cOun-
ty in the state and to see that
every county chairman in turn
appoints representative in every
district of his own county. This
necesSitates the activities of many
men in the state under the leader
ship of the general manager here
at Paris. To the Partisan Mr..
Laniel says; "The farmers now
have the opportunity for which
they have been dreaming and
reading about for many years.
The Rural Credit Association will
revolutionize banking and agricul-
rural circles and make big business
for all. There is absolutely no
competition or friction between
the banks and the Rural Credit
Association. The plans formu-
lated and now put into action for
the first time in Tennessee and
Kentucky and for the first time in
America, will aid the banker as
we'll as the farmer and land owner.
The banks will do greater busi-
ness than ever and the farmer will
become lender instead of a
borrower"
1t is indeed a great a movement
for development and secretary
Daniel has made a hit not only for
himself but for Paris and the
Business Mems Club that will
hardly be excelled by any COM
mercial secretary.

EXPECT BIG DISPLAY
OF FARM PRODUCTS
W. R. Jones and John Richardson
Head Henry County Fair
Agricultural Department.

Farmers from every section of
Henry county are daily bringing
in reports of the best crops in
years, which seems to point to
the best display of farm products
at the Henry county Fair this
fall that has ever oeen known in
this section.
At the directors meeting of
the Fair Association held some
weeks ago Messrs. W. r. Jones
and John Richardson were chosen
as superintendent of the Agri-
cultural department for the
coming Fair. Mr.. Jones has
been in charges of this depart
ment at several fairs in the past
and is known as one of the lead
ing farmers of Henry county.
Mr.. Richardson is also one of the
county's most progressive agri.
culturialists. 1t is certain that
the directors of the Fair Associa-
ton could not have chosen two
better experienced or more capa-
BILE men to head this department.
The public will be pleased to
learn of their selection.
This Agricultural Department
has always been one of the chief
drawing cards of the Henry
county Fair and this year will be
no exception. The Fair Asso-
citation is offering about $l85 in
cash as premiums in this depart
ment, and in addition to these
the banks, merchants and farm
ers of Henry county have agreed
to give a large number of special
premiums in both cash and mer-
chandise, 1t will pay the farmers
of Henry county to look over
these premiums when the catalog
is issued. The special premiums
are open to Henry county only
and they, as we'll as the others,
are we'll worth going after.
Somebody is going to get these
premiums and every farmer in
Henry county has a chance to
secure them by exhibiting agri-
cultural products at the Fair.
There is no entrance fee charged
in this department and for that
reason there should, and will, be
more competition.
The Henry County Fair has
always been noted for the splen-
did displays of farm products to
be viewed there, and it is now
up to the farmers of this section
to make the 1915 display better
than ever before.
The fair is to be held at the ideal
time, September 20, 80 and Oc-
tober l and 2. On tn o Sc
days all roads will lead to the
Henry county Fair. The people
of Henry and adjoing counties
are already preparing for four
big days of enjoyment.

List For 1915

Registration of automobiles at the
state Highway Department does not
indicate that there is any depression
in tht business and IL is the belief that
the total number of licenses issued
for 1914 will be passed by the mid
die of May. Already the total of the
revenue from licenses for 1914 has
been exceeded.
The total number of machines of all
grades registered last year was 112.-
S5S. Thus far in 1915, 104,2S1 have
been listed and given tags, although
four months have not been passed.
matte tired automobiles; 6,256 trucks
or solid tired machines; 10,007 motor
cycles and 1909 for dealers. Paid
drivers to the number of 22.4S0 have
been granted licenses and 22,1S1 op-
orators other than owners have been
listed and given official cards.
There is now pending in the Legisla-
ture bill to turn all of the revenue
from licenses for automobiles back to
the Highway Department for highway
Improvement purposes. this preCaution
being taken because of the case pend
ing in the Supreme Court This sum
is the amount contributed by automo-
bile owners and il is estimated that
over million and a half will be avail
able under the present act. If the
new law proposed and provided in the
Lipschutz bin is enacted 1t will mean
next year the State will have over S2,-

carried on is through the money paid
in by automobile owners. it being held

REQUESTS
That State Automobile Depart

Asking if arrangements could not

the state automobile department
could not be held in Mt. Vernon, City
Solicitor Harry w. Koons has direct
ed letter to Secretary of State Hill

occurred here last summer when
thirty men were compelled to go to
Mansfield to take the examination.
These men were forced to leave
their work for the day and expend
money for car fare and meals which,
to many, was considerable sum. 1t
will be recalled that they had unwit-
tingly used their autos or driven for
friends during the Knox county fair
and, not having licenses, were forced
to take the chauffeur's examination in
Mansfield.
The solicitor thinks that fair ar.
rangement would be to have yearly
examinations held in this city

WHY GO TO CHURCH7
The Reason That The Campaign Vas
launched
(6y the Committee.)

The church was organized to spread
and establish Christianity through.
out the world. Il never posed as q
museum Of models or an artistic col.
lection Of labeled saints" 1t gathered
together men and women who be-
lieved that the message of Jesus
Christ alone could save the world. II
gathered them for worship OF God,
for fellowship with each other, for
the study Of ethical and spiritual
truth, for inspiration for and training
In their task Of spreading the gospel.
1t was a great peace army meeting
for inspiration and drill. II is believ.
ed that soldiers who we're to fight for
the truth should be trained. It Is be.
lieved that united strength alone
could establish righteousness In the
world.
Its purpose remains unchanged. II
still calls men and women who be-
lieve in righteousness to Join in max.
Ing the world righteous. It believes
that efficiency demands organizaitsn. \.
It believes that its constituents must
meet at stated times for worship, for
fellowship, for study OF its problems.
for training in teamwork, II It is to
succeed in establishing its truth in
the world.
Throughout the history Of Christ
endom, the church has been the cen.
trail force for the accomplishment Of
human uplift. If every person who
believes in the possibility Of Christ.
ian civilization would ally himself
actively with this great organization,
would meet with it sympathetically
to- study the problems of today, to
find inspiration for service to a great
cause, 1t would soon mean a new civ.
ilization.
It is to call to mind these facts that
the "Go-to-church" campaign was
launched. The church has an appeal
for thoughtful men and women who
want better civilization. By united
effort we can do what now we do not
dare even dream. Let US think on
these things"

IRE
In A Bathroom At N. & S
Sanitarium
Early Wednesday Morning
Does Much Damage

Starting in the same place where
a fire occurred several months ago,
flames in bath room at the M. & s.
sanitarium on West Sugar street kept
local fire fighters busy for several
hours early Wednesday morning, un-
til the blaze was finally extinguished.
The damage was considerable.
The bath room is kept very hot and
the system used for heating is blamed
for the outburst Of the flames. A fire
is kept going continuously and it is
supposed that this ignited towels
which we're lying nearby. At any rate,
the nurse on night duty, Miss Golden,
detected the odor of smoke about
1880 Wednesday morning and her in.
vestigation discovered the fire. She
instantly turned in an alarm and the
fire department made q quick run
with the old apparatus.
The fire was rather difficult to con.
troll because, although the bath room
is practically separate structure
from the sanitarium proper and Is
but one-story building, the flames
had reached the attic. The ceiling
had to be cut through in order to
get to the flames.
The damage to the woodwork of
the room was quite large, while a
number of blankets, towels, etc. were
burned. The fixtures in the room
were also affected by the fire. The
loss has not been estimated.
