The Allies seem to be gradually
tightening the coils round the Ger
mans, continuing to win over the
Teutonic-Turkish combination in
every theatre of the war. So great
is the success of the Russians in
Gallicia, that the German govern
ment has turned over the job of
trying to regain some Of the lost
territory and holding that which the
Austrians yet have, to Won linden
berg, who is regarded now as the
best of Germany's military leaders.
On the Western front the British
and French are not only holding
what they have gained but seem to
be gradually pushing into the Ger
man lines. The prevailing opinion
is that sooner or later Germany
must lose.

never been as healthy as his ap-
pearance indicated. Several times
previously he had suffered attacks
of illness which were alarming in
their nature.
Every day Of his six years, two
months and sixteen days Fred Lee
had had the most loving care that
his father and mother, as well as
his maternal grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Green Threadeill, could give
and in but few instances, if any,
have we ever witnessed such devo-
ton. His every wish was antici-
pated and every garment that he
wore was the skillful handiwork of
the mother who idolized him with
a love far beyond our ability to ex-
press. He was a manly little fell
low, and not a neighbor who daily
passed the Wadley home, but can
remember how Fred Lee came to
look for them and to give them his
always courtly ands cheerful greet
ing. In a most remarkable manner
for one of his tender years, Fred
Lee had come to love the church
and the Sunday school, as well as
the pastor Of the Baptist church, Of
which his parents are commune
cants. 1t was fitting that the last,
sad rites over the remains of the
little boy should be held in that
church and conducted by the pas
tor, the Rev. Fleetwood Ball, which
service was held at 1870 o'clock, last
Sunday, followed by interment in
the Lexington cemetery.
The little body was tenderly laid
by loving hands in the bosom of
Mother Earth, who sooner or later
claims us all, and when the last
word was said at the grave by the
minister, the beautiful and numer-
GUS floral offerings given by sorrow
ing relatives and sympathizing
friends literally hid from sight the
mound of earth under which was
left to rest until the last judgment
day the little body which will then
arise and 90 to Him who first fash
toned it.

In Loving Memory Of Fred Leo Wadssy.

Fred Lee, beloved son and only
child of Fred and Elizabeth Wadley,
was born in Lexington, Tenn, May
10, 1910. The whole of his short
yet happy life vas spent in this
town until the hour of Sis o'clock
Saturday morning, August S, 1915,
when, after illness dating but from
the Wednesday afternoon before,
the Death Angel entered the happy
home on Jackson street and bore
aloft and back to the God who gave
it, the pure soul Of that household s
one earthly idol.
Even so late as the day before
the death of Fred Lee, the attend
ant physician did not regard as dam
gerous the condition of the manly
little fellow who was not only fully
rational then but continued so un-
til very near to the time when the
final summons came and the pure
soul was separated from its exquis-
lite tenement of clay.
In writing of this little boy who
was the sole household treasure Of
our good neighbors, we feel that our
pen is poor indeed in attempting to
express the weight of sorrow which
has fallen on them Notwithstanding
their knowledge that Fred Lee has
by his early death escaped the in
evitable sorrows Of this world and
gone to bask in the sunlight Of that
cline where Gods own smile is the
unfailine source Of light which is
never dimmed and Of happiness that
has no alloy.
Fred Lee was a precocious child,
his mind having evidently outerown

WHICH WILL
MAKE BEST
SHOWING?

We advertised the Road order, or
proposition, as passed by the Coun-
ty Court for two conservatives weeks,
to see what road would make the
greatest effort, or give the most in
money and work to get a good road
first. We find some are expecting
us to give the two weeks notice yet
for bids. To be fair with all, and
meet the convenience of as many
as possible we will continue this Of
fer until Aug. 10Th at 2 o'clock p.
m. Then all roads in the county
will be present with a committee Of
three reputable men to vouch for
the securities and labor offered.
We hope every road in the coun-
ty will enter the contest, and make
your subscriptions large and strong.
And take your subscriptions to work
and pay your own roads, if you are
the winner or loser. If some other
road gets our help first, YOU need to
put in more work on yours right
now. Please get in earnest about
this and let us all put in as near
one months work each, this sum-
mer as possible, and it will pay you
more than any monsh's work you
ever did.
Your Work House Committee is
doing some good work, and doing
all it can. We would be glad if we
had the means to work every mile
Of public road in the county this
year. But you know we can't in ten
years, but we will keep pushing and
do all we can. We know all Of you
have not seen our work, and do not
know how to appreciate our efforts,
but some have, and are delighted
with the good show. Some people
are urging us to come to their
neighborhoods, and certain sections
of the county, and work certain
hills, certain bottoms, sand bars, etc,
We are coming, and coming as fast
as we can, and wish we could do all
that you want done, and do it now.
Good people, get busy and let ev-
cry man work roads, and talk roads.
Don't talk, and then won't work, nor
pay. Your neighbor loses faith in

A Most Remarkable Family

J. J. Tucker, Of the SCOTS Hill vi

March 7, and his wife is 80. They
have been married 66 years and

county except the last ten years.
Mr. Tucker and wife have had nine
children and have reared all but
one to be grown. Seven ofthe chill
dren are now living, one daughter
having died at the age Of past 40.
The baby boy, D. Tucker, of Deca-

you. Some of our citizens who
have been good roads enthusiasts,
in work and talk. are inclined to
tire, and wait for some one else to
lead out this year. Friends don't do
that; you are losing your energy
and money and that of your neigh
Dor as well. This is a big PROPOSE
ton and it takes big men, big hearts
and minds to work it out If we
could only Get one months work by
every body this summer the road
would then be a pleasure to look at
or talk about, and we would see
ourselves so much benefited that
our hardest task would be over
Don't ever think you can get all to
do right, don't tire in well doing,
don't quit because. some of your
neighbors have watched you work
for three years and would not help,
when you knew all the time he was
able to put in more time than you.
When he sees you are determined
to stay on the job until finished,
and he gets started you can't per-
suade him to quit, as long as there
is anything doing.
Be encouraged; we will have bet
ter roads in Henderson county some
day. The National Government has
passed road law, appropriating
one hundred and fifty millions dol
lars to build good roads. Half this
amount to be supplemented by the
states, and any state failing to take
such action will not share in this
distribution. This gives to Tonnes
see $118,250.C0, which will be some
help, and where this amount can be
doubled by the states and then
again by the counties, and doubled
each year for five years, you will
see much better roads.
For the encouragement of any
community, that wants to improve
its roads, and will get up a good
strong crew for ten days or two
weeks, we will send you foreman
free of charge, to assist you in ev-
cry possible way. Some places you
may have as good a man as we can
send you. But in many cases we
can send you man that will help
you materially, in various ways, es-
pecially by encouragement. A good
road man to drop by and stay with
you and help you that knows just
how to work the road and put ev-
