He devoted q great deal of his time,
energy and ability to the perfection
| Of the organization that resulted in
making this hospital one of the lead
| ing institutions Of it's kind in this
country, and to him possibly more
than to any one else, is due the great
success it has attained.
| He was prominently a moulder of
| character and continually instilled
into his. pupils it's intrinsic value,
and the scholarship and character
of the young men who came under
his domination cnstitute priceless
monument to his memory.
| AS ticitzen, he was earnest, patri-
otto, jealous, and a leader in every
movement that made for the better
ment of his city, county and State,
+, and he gave literally and unselfishly
to every cause for the relief of suf.
fering, the enlightenment of the
young or the betterment of human
ity.
He was modest in his manner and
apparently as bashful as a child, but
to those who knew him best, he
appeared absolutely without fear and
with the courage of his conviction
upon every question. While he was
an ideal citizen and foremost ed
ucatOr and patriotic public servant,
| he was probably better known and
appeared to better advantage in his
home circle. He was devoted to his
wife and children, his books and
| friends and was always concerned in
making the lives of those around him
easier and better.
| In his latter years, and after re-
! firing from the procession of teach
| ing, he remained President of the
Massie Memorial Hospital Board of
Trustees and his last years of labor
were marked by his earnest devo-
ton to the cause of suffering hui
manity as exemplified and relieved
through that institution.
He has left his impress upon the
community and upon every organiza-
ton with which he was associated,
therefore
BE 1T RESOLVED, That it is the
sense of the Mayor and Board of
Council of the City of Paris, that
our community has lost a valued
Tcitizen, that his family have lost a
patient, devoted father and husband
and brother and that the State has
lost in him one of its most devoted
citizens.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
That as further mark Of respect to
his memory, a page be set apart on
the records of the proceedings of
this body, and that these resolutions
be inscribed thereon; and that copy
of these resolutions, duly attested by
the Mayor and City Clerk under the
seal of the City of Paris be furnished
to the family of the deceased and
published in the local papers.

KENTUCKY TROOPS WILL B]
SENT TO FRANCE SOON

Under plan that is being prepar-
ed by the general staff. the Ken
tucky-Indiana National Guard divis-
ion will be dismantled and the In
fantry units belonging to it will oe
rushed to France in advance of the
remainder of the division.
The artillery units and other Or
CARNATIONS belonging to the division
will remain at Hattiesburg, Miss
for further training.
The infantry units will be used in
the battle line in France wherever
they will best fit in, which may place
them with. French or British troops.
Ultimately, when the artillery and
other units of the division go to
France, the division will be reformed
according to the general staff plan,
and the Kentucky and indiana
guardsmen will be together again.
The crying need in France is for
infantry and the whole energy of the
war department is being directed
temporarily to the segregation of in
fantry organizations from the Ma
tional Guard and National Army
camps in order that they may be
sent to France with the utmost pos
sible speed.
This order will take many Paris
and Bourbon county boys from Camp
Shelby to the fighting zones, and no
better soldiers ever carried an
equipment and none will do more
valiant service than they!

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

William Lowell Yerkes was born
near Baltimore, Maryland, June
so, 1847, and died in Paris, Ken
lucky, April Is, 1918, in the seventy
first year of his age.
His father, Rev. Stephen LIZ Yer-
kes, was a Presbyterian minister,
and at one time, at the head of the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary,
at Danville, Kentucky. Stephen l..
.Yerkes was a man of great force of
character, of broad education and
extensive reading and was one of the
leading theologians of his day. His
wife, the mother of William Lowell
Yerkes, was Amanda L. Yerkes, a
woman Of strong character, great re-
finement and was much beloved by
all who knew her.
The family came from Maryland
to Kentucky and settled first at Lex
ington and afterwards at Danville.
Kentucky, where William Lowell Yer
kes was educated. He afterwards
studied law with the expectation of
making the practice of that profess
sion his life work, but the example
of his father, and a natural interest
in the youth of the land, soon led
him into the avocation of teacher
and he came to Paris in 1872 and
opened a private school for boys,
which he taught with great success
for more than thirty years.
During his early experience in
Paris, he married Miss Emma Wing,
of Greensboro, Kentucky, who lived
but few years. After her death.
Professor Yerkes travelled extensively
in Europe, and pursued his studies
there. After returning to Paris, he
married Miss Maria Woodford on
April 26, 1888, who survives him,
with three children born of said
union, John w. Yerkes, Mrs. Amanda
May, wife of Henry May, and Miss
Elizabeth (Tot) Yerkes. Professor
Yerkes also leaves one brother, Hon.
John w. Yerkes, of Danville, Ken
lucky, and Washington, D. c., and
one sister, Mrs. J. Stonestreet Van
Meter, of Los Angeles, California.
Professor Yerkes was Mayor of the
City Of Paris from November IS,
1896, to January 49,, 1898, and was
National Bank Examiner for about
VII JNoAo, oOth VI "hlCh pOSlIlOuS
he filled with signal ability and un-
selfish devotion to duty.
Professor Yerkes was probably
better known in this community as
an educator of the youth than in any
other relationship, as there are few,
young men in Bourbon county who
have reached maturity in the last
generation, who did not attend his
school, and this large circle of young
men, several hundred in number, is
the strongest evidence of the worth
and character of this good man. In
the schoolroom he was patient, earn
est, energetic and thorough and few
there were indeed of my boys" as
he called them; who did not love him
as a father, and so thorough had
been his work in the educational
line that his influence for good
among the young men of this COM
munity will be. felt for many years to
come. ~
Upon the organization of the w.
W Massie Memorial Hospital in.
Paris, Professor Yerkes was made
President of the Board of Trustees
Of said institution and served in that
capacity until his continued absence
in California required his severing
his connection with said institution.
