Camp Gordon, Ga, April T.
Editor The Camden Chronicle,
Dear Sir-As a number of friends
requested me to write to them
(more than I can communicate
with personality if you will grant
me little space l will comply with
their request through the medium
of your paper.
When we entrained at Camden
for Atlanta We met fine bunch ef
boys from all parts of West Ten
nessee. At every station from
Camden to Nashville the people
wished US Godspeed. After leav-
ing Nashville on a special the bois-
ferrous company grew drowsy and
then quite. Occasionally stations
like Murfreesboro and Chattanooga
few by, recalling incidents of the
Civil War. When day came again
we were speeding through the
mountains of Northwestern Geor-
gia. Dogwood, honeysuckle ant,
many other wild flowers were in
bloom; farmers were abroad early
doing their bit, and the women and
children waved their hands as if to
say 1--WE are behind YOU"
We arrived in Atlanta at s a. M
for breakfast. At l p. N. 5000
boys unloaded and went into camp.
Here we have comfortable sleeping
quarters, good, wholesome food and
plenty of it, hot and cold water for
bathing, and many other conven-
fences which helps to make sol
dier's life pleasant.
Among the many buildings in
camp the Y. M. G. A. is of most
interest, which is used as a church,
theatre, school and postofice. It
is here the boys are furnished fres
stationery and free entertainment.
1t is here we find many reminders
of home. The inscription, Don't
forget to write home," greets you
o entering the hall. We have ac-
cess to the camp library, where
there are thousands Of books, in-
cluding many religious works
This is fine fruit country, and
the peach trees are loaded with
fruit as large as ordinary plums.
| will answer all letters from my
friends. My address is

A WORTHY TRIBUTE.

of the village of Eva, in what is
called Flatwoods, a man 72 years
old known by everybody as Uncle
Tom Pafford. In passing through
that section the other day, the writ
er stopped minute at his gate just
as the old gentleman was getting
out of his buggy, he having been
to Eva, and took him by the hand
and was greeted by him in his COR
dial way. We had not seen him
for number of years and was so
glad that he looked hale and hear
ty, but he said he had been some
what afflicted since having a par
tial stroke of paralysis a few years
ago.
There is no man in Benton Coun-
ty or any other county as to that,
whose record as a Christian and
splendid citizen, surpasses Uncle
Tom. He has been and is yet a
leader in every good and righteous
cause. No doubt that the e.citizen-
ship of Benton County has been
largely infuerced by this noble
man. He has always been pro-
gressive in every enterprise that
had for its purpose the uplift of
the people. He is a man of extra
ordinary mind and judgment and
keeps up with current events. He
told us in the few minutes CONVEX
sation, that he had not worked
much for several years, but he was
now stronger and intended to work
some this year and help feed the
allies which showed his strong
sense of patriotism, worthy of imi-
tation. Would that others, espec
tally some of Henry County's old
men, would follow his example.
He has more descendants in the
army than any one we have met;
nephews, grandsons and cousins,
many of them have already given
their lives to the country, and more
to follow.
He is a pillar in the church of
his choice { Methodist and has at
tended more conferences of that
denomination than any man we
know of, and not only did he attend,
he had something to say, was a
forcible speaker and was listened
to with marked regard on account
of his wisdom.
In troubles that overtake the
community, from sickness or any
cause, the people find ready COM
forter in Uncle Tom, aud one who
| is capable of giving encouragement
and advice. Wherever sickness
was followed by death, this man
was one of the first there, and has
buried with appropriate services
more people than any man in the
county Many people preferred
him to talk at the funeral of loved
zones, rather than the preacher, and
many times preachers could not be
had. He has been prominent in
all affairs of a public character il
the county, leader in public
schools and education, in favor of
good roads, good school houses,
churches, good behavior, temper
ance and law enforcement,
Such men are real treasure in
any community, and without such
life would hardly be worth living.
We trust that many Paffords will
initiate Uncle Toms example, and
be ready when the end comes with
him to catch his mantle.
From his old friend,
[. A. MCSwAIN.

Fourth Liberty Loan committee are
confident that the total will be above
the quota of $77.00. The canvass Of
the district has been practically COM
pleted, so far as the residential sec
ton is concerned, and the factory
terms must now do the rest. In pre-
vious loans these teams have always
done splendidly and there is every
reason to believe that they will out
do themselves this time. The COM
mittee has combed the district min
utely, as is evident from the fine
showing of yesterdays report, which
showed q total subscription of $780, 900.
A few more pledgeh have since been
secured from various sources bring
ing the total up to something more
than this amount but there no fur
Their reports are expected until the
returns from the factories begin to
roll in. When the teams put in their
reports the campaign will be prac-
tically finished and the committee
will then stand by and watch the loan
go "over the top. The work of the
committee has been most thorough.

Right Rev. John ]. Milan, bishop of
the. diocese of Hartford, pronounced
the last a'osoIution and Rev. T. j.
keena, u classmate of Father Walsh,
sang the mass. Rev. William H
/ Rogers, pastor of ST. Patrick's Catho-
lie church Of Hartford, preached the
culogy.
His text was taken from the Third
Book of Wisdom: The souls of the
just are in the hands of God and the
torments of death shall not touch
them. In the sight of the universe
they seem to die, but they are in the
hand sof God"
The preacher spoke Of the grief
caused by death and referred to death
as the tribute which all must pay for
M Ortality. The life of Father Walsh
had been sulh as to strip death of all
its pain. There is much in the death
of a priest to give consolation. ''Why
should we grieve at the death of our
friend? Has he not kept the faith;
has he not been a true Christian SOL
dler?' said the preacher. Father
Rogers spoke of the great suffering
Rather Walsh endured and the reward
and merit which would be his. Tribute
was paid to the memory of the de-
ceased for his priestly life, his friend
ly counsel and his sterling qualities.
rather Walsh always possessed an I'M
spoken influence which was for good
He was always ready to condemn that
which was wrong, and in SO doing he
was still able to retain the friendship
Of those he rebuked Father Walsh

reference was made to Father
Walsh,s service to the community as
a member of the school board. Ia
ther Rogers said that Father Walsh
would have no panegyrices were he
living but would ask prayers and the
reverend preacher recommended his
hearers to pray for him.

ITALIAN TAG DAY

Campaign for $4,000 for Italian Red
Cross to Open Here On
October %.
October %.

The United italian societies in this
city are making arrangement for a
Red Cross campaign, to be conducted
in the interest of the Italian Red
Cross, from October IS to November
,. At a recent meeting of the State
Council of Defense permission for this
campaign was given, and today the
local war bureau informed the gen
eral chairman, Emmanuel DiNonno,
that permission would be granted
here.
Connecticut is to be asked to con-
tribute $4,000 to the fund, which is
to be used for building hospitals, SAM
tariums, etc, for the care and treat
ment Of Italian prisoners of war who
are being returned from Australian
prisons, affected with tuberculosis.
lew Britain's share OF this fund is
$4,000 and on Novem Der tag day
program will be instituted to help
swell the amount.

come has been overlooked, and the
members are confident that if there
were a stray dollar or two laying
about the loan workers has been
magnificent, exceeding even the fond
est anticpations of the committee.
There existed doubt in certain cir
cles that the district would be able
to furnish the quota, which is about
twice the amount asked from this
town hitherto but this thought did
not deter the workers for u minute.
They went at their task with a will,
and the results are apparent. In just
about one week they succeeded in
raising $4,000 for Uncle Sans peck
etbOOk, and they have reason to feel
proud Of the showing made. In the
response of the residents Of this dis
trict one could read the determination
to back the governme to the limit
in the loan which it is hoped will
hasten victory and bring the boys
back safely to their home town. It is
expected that the factory teams will
complete their canvass soon SO that
the final result may be announced in
the near future. With only about
SIS, 900 still to be contributed to bring
the total up to the quota, the COM
mittee feels confident that success
is already assured. 1t is possible,
however, that the factory teams may
be delayed in making their final re-
turns inasmuch as the leaders do not
wish to hand in a complete report
until every penny available has been
obtained. The committee is of the
opinion that cts all over but the

more proven itself 100 per cent.
