The floral offerings were many and
very beautiful, quite covering the
last earthly resting place OF the
splendid boy who was so suddenly
taken from a happy home and ex-
ceedingly bright prospects IN tins

While there was no Partially in
| it, John was the pride of the hearts
Of his parents, his grandfather APP
pleby who lives in the same home,
his two surviving brothers, Chester
and Joe,and his one sister, Mary
Beth. He was manly boy, a du-
tiful and loving son and pupil in
| school who, Prof. Brown said, never
needed reproof, much less chastise-
ment. The man he promised to
make would have been OF much
worth to the world and all hearts
are grieved to give him up, but
there is abiding consolation that
John had contracted no evil habits,
that he was a good boy and that all
who loved him here can live with
the knowledge that the privilege
| of meeting him again IN
that land Of God, where there is no
death by sickness or accident, IS
their own blessed right. Time Will
heal the hearts that now seem
broken, for they will come to realize
that John has just gone on before
and is awaiting all who choose to
come.

D. D. PAFFoRD.

DdTluS D6Cdlui duulu, oOu Vi lllC
late Thomas W. and Mrs. Lany Paf-
ford was born in Benton County,
Tenn, March 7, 1854 and passed
from earth to his reward above at
800 o'clock, Friday, August 8, 1918,
at his home in Lexington, after be-
ing in declining health for about
four years and having been disabled
from attending to business and
work since February Of this year.
Mr.. Pafford came to Lexington in
1882 and clerked for few years in.
the store of the late G w. Florence.
Later he was in business with 7. w.
Scott and still later established the
local, hardware, furniture and I'M
derfaking business of which he was
the active head until disabled by
illness last February
September /, 1887, he was hapi-
ly married to Miss Linnie, daughter
Of the late Milton and Mrs. Jennie
Edwards, and to this union was
born three sons, Earle, Royal and
Aubrey, all of whom survive and
the younger of whom is now in
France as a member of the United
States Navy. He is also survived
by two brothers, Milton, of Benton
county, Tenn, and Marion, of Hutch
inson, Kansas, these brothers being
the only survivors of four boys and
two girls.
In his early youth Mr.. Pafford
united with the M. E. church, South,
in which faith he lived consistently
and died faithful.
In attempting to speak of the
character and life of D. D. Pafford
| feel some hesitation for the reason
that feel my pen not able to pay
just tribute to one so rarely good
and exceptionally worthy as was
my subject.
When | came to Lexington in the
Spring of 1884, | found him here
and here | have known him prob
ably every day since. He was the
same man, the same honest, honor
able, kindly soul, Yesterday, today
and tomorrow" There was but one
side to the life and character of D.
D. Pafford and to know him once
was to know him all days of his ma
tured life and under all circum-
stances. AS a citizen he was a
model, reverencing the law as he
did. AS a Christian he was con.
ecientious in his convictions, but
liberal toward those who differed
from him. As a husband and faith
er he met every responsibility and
love for his wife and sons made
every sacrifice a pleasure. Al a
neighbor there was none better and
as friend those who had claims
on him could count on him to the
last extreme. -. - I =
OF his kind the world has bit f6,e'
and when oneis eol|od u deserved
reward his place IS hard to I'LL We
mourn him in ! sense because we
love his cherished and needed pres
ence here. We feel deeply for the
bereft helpmete and three sons who
are deprived of his affectionate COM
munion and care, but we are thank
full to God that his sufferings are
over for eternity and that he has
gone to that eternal home prepared
for just and righteous men.
The service in the home at 3 p.
m. last Saturday was conducted by
Revs. P. D. 7. Roberts and Fleetwood
Ball and concluded at the grave in
Lexington Cemetery, the last resting
place, being covered by many beau
tiful floral tributes from relatives,
his church and friends.

Crop advices from the Southwest
were conflicting. The detailed weather
reports showed high maximum tenn
peratures, averaging slightly above
those of the previous day. According
to most of the private advices, these
temperatures have not yet caused any
damage, but deterioration is likely
should the hot spell continue. The
earlv advance evidently resulted from
nervousness over the situation in this
respect, but later in the day the mar

war news, including the reports of
peace demonstrations in German cities
and the progress made by the Italians

There was a further advance in the

war news and nervousness over crop
conditions in the Southwest led to
covering, while there was also consid
cradle buying of new crop months for

selling up to 24,a1. This made an adj

With the American Army on the

in an advanced observation post Gen
eral Pershing, commander in chief Of
the American army, and Newton D..
Baker, the American secretary of war,
watched the Americans smash their
way to victory on the battle front be-
tween the Meuse and Moselle rivers.
General Pershing and Secretary Ba-
ker took up their station in the muddy
rain-lashed post of observation before
the infantry went over the top in the
cold, wet dawn.
The Americans, supported by a
great fleet of tanks, went forward
with an irresistible rush, and three
lines Of German intrenchments were
captured in a single bound.
1t was precisely one o'clock Of a
rainy, moonless night when a single
dash of flame shot across the sky. It
was followed by other flashes, which
merged into a sheet of white light on
the horizon.

London, Sept. 13.-An American
troopship with $500 men on board has
ben torpedoed All hands were saved.
The ship was beached.
(The United States navy depart
ment announced that the vessel was
the White Star liner Persic Of 1908
tons.)
In order to save time, instead OF
launching the boats the men clambered
down ropes to destroyers which sur
rounded the stricken vessel. The troop
ship was one Of a large convoy ap-
preaching the English coast and was
about 200 miles out. The tCrpedoing
took place Friday at p. N.
There was no sign of panic on board.
Many of the troops were from Chicago
and Cleveland. No one was injured.
Several sol0lers told the correspond
ent that they saw the submarine forced
clear out of the water after a depth
bomb exploded 1t then disappeared.

American soldiers from the troOpship,
which was torpedoed off the English
coast, but was not sunk, and upon
which there were 40 casualties, have
arrived here none the worse for their
thrilling experience.
To the surprise of most of the SOL
diers, the troopship did not sink. Some
means apparently were found to check
the thrush of water and she got near
enough to the shore to be beached. It
is hoped that the vessel ultimately
can be salvaged.
